In addition to United States Senators
Curtis and Bristow. Gov. Stubbs, former
Cows. Hoch, Bailey and Crawford, Rep

mer United States Senator Long were at

children must be taught the significance

in front of the state capitol The steps
of the big building were black with peo-
grounds It was the largest crowd the
President so far has addressed, generally
estimated at over 10000. The President
stood on q table to make his speech,
with the hot sun beating down directly in

civil war.
Looking back over the years since the
war;" the President said, there is no
seem light in comparison"
The President invoked the assistance
of the men who saw war to use their
influence to bring about an end of war
by arbitration treaties with the world.
Curtis for Arbitration Treaties.
Senator Curtis of Kansas. after listen
ing to President Taft's appeal for support
of his arbitration treaties, said:
II am convinced that a large majority
of the people of the state of Kansas and
the country as well favor the arbitra-
ton treaties. and so far as 1 am con-
cerned l hope and expect to see them
ratified with only such changes as will
in no way affect their character or eff
cheney.
These treaties are the first step. it
seems to me, in the direction of universal
peace, which is practical and in which l
am firm believer. and their ratification
will mark the success of one of the great
est and most statesmanlike of the policies
of President Taft's administration.
