ROOSEVELT IN TWO STATES
Entertained at Sioux City, la, and
Sioux Falls, S. d.

Sioux City, Ia, Sept 5.--Colonel
Roosevelt arrived in Sioux City from
Omaha. His train was switched to
the entrance of Mi2zou baseball park
on the river front Here the distin-
guished visitor was met by recep-
tion committee, which escorted him to
stand erected on the baseball dia-
mond Roosevelt then talked to the
great crowd gathered in the ball park,
and resumed his journey to Sioux
Falls.
During the visit Of Colonel Roose-
welt, business in Sioux City was prac-
tically at standstils and many thou
sands of citizens of this city and the
surrounding country turned out to well
come the ex-president.
When the Roosevelt train reached
Sioux Falls that city had put on a
gala display in his honor. There was
fireworks display and Roosevelt was
the guest of honor at big banquet
at the Cataract hotel at which were
gathered several hundred prominent
men of South Dakota.

LEADER OF REBELS TAKEN
Uprising In Philippines Comes to a
Quick End.

Manila, Sept 5-The uprising in
Nueva Vizcaya, led by Simeon Mandac,
the former governor of Ilocos Norte,
came to an inglorious end when Man
dac fell into the hands of the constab-
ulary, having been seized and sur
rendered by the people of the province
among whom he had sought to stir up
trouble.
A few of Mandacs right hand men
also were arrested and his other fol-
lowers dispersed, 1t is estimated that
the band of outlaws originally num-
bered 500. but it dwindled soon to 200,
and these had but few arms.
When the pursuit became hot Man
dac sought refuge in the home of a
man who was subsequently killed
when the people turned against the
former governor and revealed his hid.
ing place
An interesting feature of the short
lived uprising was the cooperation OF
the natives in running down the dis
turbers.
Mandac will not have chance to
serve the fourteen years imprison,
ment which has been hanging over
him since his conviction fc llng a
prisoner while he was govelAor. Man.
dac jumped his bail while an appeal
from the sentence of Imprisonment
was pending.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL
DISPUTE SETTLED
New York Garment Workers Win
Sweat Shop Victory.

New York, Sept. 5.-The cloakmak-
ers' strike, one of the greatest indus
trial disturbances in the history of
American labor, has been settled.
Seventy thousand garment workers
who have been idle for nine weeks
will return to work.
Ten thousand of them and those
dependent on them, $4,000 in all, were
on the point of eviction. Hundreds
have already been forced to the
streets
The industrial loss to employers
and employees has run high into the
millions. In loss of wages alone the
total is more than $10,000,000, while
the loss to manufacturers. jobbers and
retailers the country over has been
computed at ten times that amount.
One essential to this victory, and
one important not only to the strikers
but to the nation at large which wears
their output, is the abolition of all
contract work at home. Hereafter gar
meDts made in New York will be man
ufactured under sanitary conditions.
There will be no more sweat shops.
The rock on which all previous eff
forts at mutual conciliation have split
has been the closed shop. That rock
has now been avoided by the adoption
of the preferential union shop" idea,
for which Louis ID. Brandeis of Bos-
ton, formerly counsel for CLAWS, in
the oinchot and Ballinger hearing, is
given full credit

WOULD TEAR UP AGREEMENT
London Paper Criticises Roosevelt's
Plea for Fortified Canal.

London, Sept. 5.-Mr. Roosevelt's
demand that the United States forti.
fy the Panama canal, set forth in his
speech at Omaha, is characterized by
the Westminster Gazette as direct
rejection of the terms of the Ameri-
can and British agreement of 1901,
under which the naturalization of the
canal is guaranteed.
The carrying out of such a plan, the
Gazette said, would mean the tearing
up of the agreement
The paper admits it to be reason
able that the United States should as
sumo some military control over the
new waterway, but suggests to the
former president that the United
States should secure any desired al.
teration of the terms of the agree
ment through diplomatic methods
and not by the reputation of its
engagements"

endeavor so as to confer on all man
kind the greatest blessings that a
bounteous nature and twenty CEN
turtles of enlightenment can bestow.
The subjects for consideration by
this congress should, therefore. in.
clude not only the restoration and in
crease of soil fertility the protection
water powers, the reclamation of arid
and swamp lands by irrigation and
drainage. the fofeStation of areas un-
suited to farming, the control of rivers
by reservoirs so as to prevent food
ing, as well as the elimination of
waste in the use of these resources,
but also the problems of public COM
fort, health and life that are so in
timately connected with all material
and intellectual development. Many
of these questions will concern home
attractions and management. indus
trial education in the public schools,
public highways, state Advertising and
settlement, pure food, public health
and sanitation.
BY far the most impoltant of all
natural resources is the SOL, and the
maintenance and increase of its fer
tility must, therefore, be given the
greatest consideration. AS long as
food is necessary to human life, agri-
culture must continue to be the most
vital industry Of man, and the farm
will be the most general and in
dispensable theater of his activity.
We must have manufactures, art,
schools, churches and government to
round out our sphere of civilized ex-
istence, but the foundation of them all
is the farm. From the earth come all
the materials for manufactures, the
commodities of commerce, and ulti-
mately the support of all human in
situations. During the half century
Just past our country has devoted its
energies to the development of manu-
featuring and commercial industries
to such an extent that the scientific
methods of agriculture necessary to
insure not only the permanency of our
institutions but the very existence of
human life itself have been compara-
lively neglected.
Drainage, farm settlement, good
roads, forestry, transportation, indus
trial education, minerals, cheap heat
and power resources are all important
factors in the conservation movement.

prince will not visit the United States
on his return from India it is by no

not be changed. His royal highness

saying If the necessary arrangements
can be made he will return via San

principal cities of the United States,
particularly those having a great Ger

If the Prince of Wales in his coming
round the world trip should include
the United States 1t may be put down
as moral certainty that the heir to
the German throne will do the same.
1t will be a matter of politics which
the kaiser may be depended upon not
to neglect. His royal highness will
start in November and will be gone for
several months
