served throughout the war. If the
former did not stand in line of battle,
he stood in the line of duty, and
should have just consideration
The Commander-in-Ch Chief expressed
himself as particularly gratified at
the increasing determination of the
Blue and the Gray" He voiced his
pleasure at the cordial reception given
him during his recent official visit to
the southern departments, not only
from the former Union soldiers, but
from exconfederates.
"In all cities, when possible" he
said, 81 urged joint meetings of the
Blue and the Gray. We had many
gatherings of this character, and no
more loyal and patriotic sentiments
were ever uttered than by the men
who fought on the other side.
"Are you not pleased to learn that
our comrades are living in peace and
harmony without late enemies? This
is as it should be. Both armies were
composed of brave men and they
should and do mutually respect each
other. We of the north can testify
that no braver troops were ever mar
shalled for conflict than our late en-
emies-and we now realize that no
men ever made greater sacrifice for
what they believed to be right than
our former foes.
Comrades, we were the victors, and
we can afford to be magnanimous to
our old foes. 1t is easy for the victor
to forgive, but when the vanquished
absolves himself from all bitterness
he has truly gained the most cherished
trait of noble character. We won
they lost. We returned to our homes
with the shouts of victory ringing in
our ears-our cause triumphant. They
were defeated, their cause lost, and
they returned to homes destroyed,
barns empty, money worthless, slaves
free and ruin all about them. Any but
brave people would have yielded to
these adverse conditions-not so with
them. Bravely as they fought during
the war, they now fought the battles
of life, and the splendid growth and
developments of the south since the
close of the war is the south's grand
est and most enduring monument.
United as we are now, our country is
destined to make new era of pro-
gress. We have by our united efforts
advanced to the highest pinnacle of
fame, and became a mighty world pow
er with our influence everywhere po-
tential. Who does not rejoice that
our Union is one and indivisible, and
will remain so forever"

CRIME AGAINST CHILDREN
SAYS GOVERNOR Stubs

Topeka, Kans., Sept. 22.-"The gen.
eral policy of railroads throughout the
country is to favor and build up large
cities at the expense of the rural COM
munities," said Governor Stubs in a
sensational speech opening the inter
state rate conference this morning.
This is little less than a crime against
civilization, such policy robs hun
dreds and thousands of children of
their natural right to sunshine, pure
air, healthy social conditions, encour-
ages abnormal development. Great
cities where crime and shame thrives,
true policy would be to regulate the
transportation rates so that the rural
communities may be developed and
it's population normally distributed" !"
The governor explained that the
purpose of the conference to which
many governors of the states have
been invited was to protect the pro-
ducer shipper and the consumer
against advances in freight rates, and
that said congress should immediate
ly pass a law providing physical
valuation by the interstate commerce
commission of all railroads in the
country.

Inquiry Into Federal Indictments May
Be Deferred Until Sub-Commit-
tee Meets Late in Fall.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.-The
prospects of a grand tour of investiga
tion of the third degree" methods al
legged to be employed by the federal
authorities in obtaining indictments
have gone glimmering, at least until
after the fall election.
The tour was planned to embrace
the whole country, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, including an extended
stay in Oklahoma, and two subcJm
mittees were named to conduct the
work.
the chairman of the committee, and
Senators Borah of Idaho and Overman
OF North Carolina were to sit in
Washington, while Senator'S Brown oi
Nebraska and Stone of Missouri were
to conduct hearings in the west AND
south.
In response to a request Of the il
inerary of the subcommittee which is
to go to Oklahoma, Senator Borah ad
vises as follows;
''The subcommittee which was au
thorized to visit Oklahoma is unable
apparently, at this time to get 10
gether. l have been trying for sev
eral days to get the members togthel
to go to Oklahoma, but so far l have
been unable to do so. My opinion
now is that we will not go there be
fore November"
Senator Brandegee, writing in re
gard to the plans of the subcommittee
which is to conduct hearings in Wash
ington, says: Senator Overman vii
be in Mexico a month and Senator
Borah will be engaged in the west
SO we can not begin the hearings in
Washington until Senator Overman's
return, and probably not until after
the election"

dred votes with about one third of the

Other Minnesota republican members
and w. S. Hammond, the one demo
cratic member, were all renominated
by safe margins.

DELEGATION TO SPOKANE

Colorado Springs, Col, Sept. 21-
Colorado, which this year is hostess
to the eighteenth National Irrigation
congress, will next year entertain the
sixth Dry Farming congress, if the
campaign which has been launched by
the city of Colorado Springs, backed
solidly by Colorado and neighboring
states, is successful. At the fifth Dry
Farming congress, which meets at
Spokane, Wash, during the week of
October 3, Colorado will be represent
ed by strong delegation which is now
being organized with the object of
capturing the 1911 meeting. For sew
eral months committee of sixty has
been actively at work on the prelim-
mary details of the campaign and has
met with much encouragement. Colo
RADIO Springs will urge as its chief ar
gument, it's location in the exact CEN
ter of the dry farming belt, together
with its hotel, convention hall and
transportation facilities, its famous
scenic attractions and its guarantee
to exert every effort to make the 1911
congress a success if honored with

another effort in this direction this
year. 1t has also been announced that

memberships, valued at $25.00 each,
to graduates of western colleges OF

trophy cup, offered by the Spokane
chamber of commerce for the largest

or commercial body, attending the con-
gress, all residents within 100 miles

STUCK TO MUzzLE LOADER.

There have been hunters in the
west. even in recent times, who have
refused to give up their old muzzle
leaders for improved weapons. Some
ten years ago there died in northern
California, at Yreka, an old back
woodsman named Alexander Tyler,
who, was commonly known as "Long
Aleck."
He was a Tennessean of the Dam
lei Boone type. He crossed the
plains in 1851, carrying with him
an ancient Kentucky rifle, muzzle
loading, of course, and five feet three
inches long.
II matched well the stature OF
LONG Alcck.' for that worthy stood
six feet three inches in his stock
ings. He was for all the rest of his
life a miner in wild districts, and il
is known that with this rifle he killed
many Indians.
