A MESSAGE
TO AMERICA
GENERAL WILLIAM BOOTH SENDS
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
PEOPLE OF AMERICA.

New York. April ia message
from General William Booth, founder
and commander of the Salvation Army,
was read tonight by Miss Eva Booth,
commander of the American Salvation
army, at a remarkable celebration in
Carnegie hall in honor of the generals
SOth birthday anniversary. 1t follows:
London, April 10, 1909.
ITO the American People:
oh, America, how vast is your op-
portunity for making a last mark for
good on the entire human race. En-
doWed with measureless material re-
sources, enjoying the unbounded conf
dence of your own people, favored with
the concentrated light of earth and
heaven, possessed of an influence COW
ering like a shadow all the world be-
side; what a power you must be de-
stined to become.
What will you do with this mighty,
magic force? If you are permitted to
realize your ambition to lead the
world, whittier will you lead it? To
utter abandonment of faith in the
eternal and the neglect of every duty
flowing out of it, to senseless worship
of mammon, to useless frivolities? No,
I am sure you won't and l blush at
the very mention of such things and
denounce them with all my soul.
Where else can you lead this poor
blind, stumbling world of ours, but to
the mighty, just, holy God and obedi-
ence to his commands; the practice
of righteousness, purity, honor kind
ness and simplicity, to elf-sacrifcing
service of mankind?
America, 1 invite you to the actual
realization of the Christian principles
you profess and to practical imitation
of Jesus Christ, who came out of HIS
heaven to seek and to save.
Come along then, let us grid up
our loins and go out of our heaven
and put our arms around perishing
multitudes and bring them to Christ,
purity, peace in paradise"
.Signed) "WILLlAM BOOTH.

minutes today. The first action taken
was the adoption of a resolution call
ing upon the senate for a return of
the Payne tariff bill next Thursday,
in order that it might be corrected so
as to include products of petroleum
in the free list. During the confusion
incident to the passage of the bill Fri
day it was believed it included this
provision, but it has developed that
such was not the case, although it
these products along with crude and
refined petroleum. The house espe-
cially authorized it's enrolling clerk to
make the correction, and he made the
change within few minutes. 1t win
therefore cause no delay in tariff
legislation. 1t is understood the senate
will not object to the return of the
measure.
There was much opposition to two
resolutions, one to appoint several
janitors and the other to appropriate
for the expenses Of the house incident
to the extra session.
The first was defeated by being laid
on the table and the second was
adopted

ference the house at 2:15 p. m. ad-

suit for breach of contract brought
against him by the New York Phono-

Portland. Ore, April 12.-The Even

Forward steps toward an early in

which the recent moves have been
made indicate that the plan is to steal

of the plan have been discovered.
1T is learned authoritatively that
several parties Of Hartman engineers

MONTANA SENATOR DELIVERS
ADDRESS BEFORE UTICA
COMMERCIAL BODY.
DESCRIBES ADVANTAGES
Senator Is Guest Of Honor at Brilliant
Banquet at Which Vice President
cials Make Speeches-Strone Plea
Made for Postal Savings Scheme.

Utica, n. Y, April 12.-The Utica
quet tonight The honored guests and
speakers We're Vice President Sher-
man, Senator Thomas Fl. Carter of
Montana, Congressman Francis w.
Cushman of Washington, and Francis
Session Hutchens of New York.
The advantages of postal savings
banks We're told by Senator Carter
in most attractive manner. A
sound business return, he said, "an
never be maintained with reckless
or improvident people. He who
spends all, he added, and saves moth
ing betrays himself and those de-
he will cheat somebody and blame
everybody.
1.-The combined powers of the world
perish" said Mr.. Carter, in an at
tempt to conquer the American peo-
pie and hold possession of this coun-
try. Our power to resist outside
pressure is invincible. But who can
forecast the issue of the event should
troublesome percentage of the gov
erned require an increase of our
standing army to the relative pro-
portion of the average European war
establishment? You gentlemen of af-
fairs, are deeply concerned in having
prudent rather than reckless people
to deal with. The government is in
terested in nurturing the devotion
and interest of the people in it's well
being, and the masses are profoundly
concerned in the growth of prudence,
thrift and patriotism"
He said it was impossible for saw
ings banks facilities to reach all the
people in rural sections. On the
other hand the government with 49,
900 money order postoffices could dc
the work to the great benefit of the
country at large. He showed the ex-
tent to which postal savings banks
are operated abroad. He insisted that
this work could not be called bank
ing in it's true sense, SO that bankers
who opposed the system do so without
justification.

They will do reconnaissance work east
eastward from Lewiston.
A third party win leave Portland

These crews have been sworn to the
utmost secrecy as to the object of
their mission into the latest territory
in which Hartman will carry on his

SO far as can be learned here, the
plan is to extend the Bitter Root line

route of the Northern Pacific from

An effort made by The Missoulian

CHAPTER III.
INTRODUCING HoLL1NaswoRTH CHASE.

@NIhODUClNG HOLLlNGSWORTH CHASE
lTtHE excitement attending the
kaggs-Wyckholme revelations
had not yet spread to the grand
- duchy Of Rapp- Thorberg, ap-
parently lost as 1t was in thc cluster
Of small units which went to make up
certain empire, one of the world
powers. The Grand Duke Michael dis
dained the world at large. He had
but little in common with anything
that moved beyond the confines of his
narrow domain. His court was sleepy,
lackadaisical, Unconditional, impregna-
bic to the taunts OF progression. His
people were thrifty, stolid and abso-
lutely stationary In their loyalty to the
ancient traditions Of the duchy. His
army was mere matter of taxation
and not thing Of pomp or necessity.
The precise location of the grand
duchy in the map Of the world has lit
tie or nothing to do with this narra-
tive. Indeed, were 1t not for the fact
that the grand duke possessed a
charming and most desirable daughter
the Thorberg dynasty would not be
mentioned at all. The grand dukes
peace Of mind had been severely dis
turbed--so severely, in fact. that he
was transferring his troubles to the
emperor. who. in turn, felt obliged to
communicate with the United States
ambassador, who. in his turn, had
no other alternative than to take sum-
mary action in respect to the indiscre-
tons of a fellow countryman. Chase's
conscience was even and serene, and
he was resigning his post with the
confidence that he had performed his
obligations as an American gentleman
should. even though the performance
had created an extraordinary commo-
ton. Chase was new to the old world
and its customs, especially thase rig
orous ones which surrounded royalty
and denied it the right to venture into
the commonplace.
Chase had been the representative Of
the American government at Thorberg
for six months The American flag
foated above his doorway in the Fried
richstrasse. but In all his six months
of occupation not ten Americans had
crossed the threshold He was Wig
orous, healthy young man, and 1t may
well be presumed that the situation
bored him. He was not politician;
no more was he an Office seeker. Ha
was real soldier of fortune In search
Of affairs-in peace or in war, on land
or Mt sea. Possessed of small in
come sufficiently adequate to sustain
life If he managed to advance it to the
purple age. but wholly incapable OF

,uat -he-Eas- compelled. to n,..s.
