TO
 ATTEND BANQUET
 AT HOTEL AST0R
Local Man One of Commit tee in Charge of Great Af- fair Celebrating Peace With England.

Many prominent Brfdgeporters are planning to be present at the great banquet to be given at the Hotel As tor in New York, November 15, in eel ebration of the 100 years of peace be- tween England and the United States. The centenary does not come until 1915, but the celebration will be- gin five years ahead of time, with the idea of leading to the erection of a huge bridge between Canada and the United States across the Niagara river, as a lasting and useful monu- ment to the long peace between the. two great nations.
 It is expected that over 2,000 covers will be laid at this banquet, and it will be one of the biggest affairs of it's kind ever held in the city of New York. The arrangements are being pushed by a joint committee of the Canadian Club of New York, the In Bureau of National Industries.
 Of this latter organization James A. Turner of this city is a member, and has been delegated to serve upon the quet. Mir. Turner stated to day that arrangements for the affair were pro- ceeding apace and that it would be absolutely the greatest banquet that Manhattan has ever seen.
 Among the guests and speakers of the evening will be such men as for mer PreSldenC FOOSGVeIt, former vice. President Fairbanks, Sir Wi1fred Laurier. premier of Canada, and other notables.
 It is believed by many that this banquet will be one of the steps lead ing toward the annexation of Canada by the United States, many signs pointing to that direction on both sides of the border.
 Among the Bridgeporters who arert planning to go are DeVer H. Warner, I Waldo c. Bryant, Willis F. Hobbs, | John T. King, J. Alexander, H. Rob inson, Richard Howell, J. Edward | Elliott and F. w. Bo1ande.

STRIKE TIES UP EXPRESS
 BUSINESS

New York, Oct. 29--The business of
 the United States, Wells Fargo and
 Adams Express companies is practi-
 cal1y at a standstill to-day. All of the terminals in New York, Jersey City
 and Hoboken are stacked with unde- livered packages. Long trains of cars
 pots, which are filled with goods, much of it perishable, waiting to be
 unloaded. Strikers and strike-break-
 CTS are fighting in the vicinity of ev
 three cities, armed with riot sticks
 are at their wits end to maintain peace. Up to the present time. how ever, no one has been fatally hurt.
 The strike, which originated when the officials of the United States Fix press Company refused to pay the spread now, until every express com pany in this vicinity is more or less affected. The strike feeling is grow ing and the union leaders say to-day consent to their demands they will spread the strike into every city in sters and their helpers are organized.
 The teamsters, as an organization, are not strike. The members have simply refused to take their wagons out with strfke-breaking helpers, the ground that the latter are not only inexperienced, but that they do not know who they are. Inasmuch the drivers are held responsible for the safe delivery of all express matter, they say they cannot work with men they know nothing about. So, despite the fact that the drivers claim they are not on strike. they at least are not working.
 The Federation of Labor and the Civic Federation are trying to settle the strike, and John Mitchell, chair man of the conci1iatfon committee of the federation, arranged to-day to meet H. H. Pratt of the United States Express Company, next Monday in the hope of arranging a settlement.
 One of the big questions is the rec ognition of the newly organized ex- press wagon helpers union, which has been affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. Some of the express company officials said to day they were willing to grant the wage increase, but r,Sust refuse to recognize l the union ThAre was continued riot | ing to-day in Jersey City, but the | outbreaks were confined for the most 1 part to free-for-an fights between 1 isolated groups of strikers and strike breakers, which came to a sudden end l when the police arrived on the scene. There is a likelihood that, if the riot Ing continues, Governor Fort will i send troops into Jersey City to main Jain orders

Monkeying With a Baz-Sou.

A Mississippi Congressman
wants the Supreme Court to de-
clare the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amendments uncostitu-
tional. Why did he not include
the Thirteenth Amendment? If
that Mississippi man has any
friends of sense they will choke
him off and make him keep quiet.
He is playing withe fire, doing
something that is calculated to
make the race question a volcanic
issue in politics. The country has
borne tolerantly with Tillman,s
vageries in regard to the Negro,
but it is sick of hearing him talk
on the subject and is in no humor
to put up with the agitation of
smaller and less entertaining dem
agOgues. jeff Davis of Arkansas
has run the cup over, and now
this chap Sisson is neuterizing the
good impression created by the
defeat of Vardaman for Senator.
He may monkey with the ballot
in Mississippi, but had better let
the Constitution alone. He may
aggregate the country into en-
forcing the Fifteenth Amendment
in the Southern States where it
has been abrOgated. Oakland,

Can't Make Them Good.

This paper, says the Morgan
City Outlook, stands for church,
State, education and humanita.
rlan institutions. 1t holds that
only moral forces can be effect

1t is impossible, for instance, to
make a man temperate or a wo.
man pure by act of Legislature.
The evil of frequent divorcement
of man and wife cannot be cor.
rected by law; the poison lies too
deep for that; a seeming cure 10
merely sign that there is going
to be an eruption in another

piled at the source. Faith in hu-
