In LARGE CITIES

in Colonization Of Foreigners
in This Country.

Problems OF the poor" in various
cities throughout the United States and
Europe were discussed by Lieut.. Col z.
two illustrated lectures given yesterday
in the Y. NJ. c. A. building and the
Church of Our Father.
He laid stress upon the fact that the
colonization OF foreigners In the larger
cities is a detriment to the advance
ment of civilization, declaring that
cliques formed in this manner are con-
tinually at odds, making clean living
impossible.
THE atmosphere OF Americanism which
should prevail in every city OF the United
States" said Lieut.. Col. Parker. lis pre-
vented in Little Italy and settlements
OF a Ike character. These sections re-
semble in every respect cities of Europe
and patriotism to the American flag
cannot prevail under such circumstances. {"
Congested conditions were vividly re-
lated by Col Parker. who declared that
children living under such environment
have no opportunity to improve their
minds. He compared Londons slums
with those OF New York, Chicago. and
other large centers Of population in this
country. showing the English authorities
are much more capable OF coping with
conditions than are those. OF America
The work of the Salvation Army in
checking these evils and providing for
AFFLICTED and dependent persons was out
lined by Col. Parker. He based his state
ments regarding poverty stricken inhab-
itants OF the various countries upon
actual personal investigation. and all the
slides used by him in his lectures were
photographed under his supervision.

RUSSIA PLANNING
TRADE REPRISALS
Gar Not Anxious to Renew Treaty
with This Country, Owing
to Passport Clash.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 2S.-That the Rus
sian foreign office has received a note
from Washington intimating that the
United States is anxious to open neso.
tiations for the formation OF q treaty
treaty of IS32, which will expire January
l, 1913 is reported in official circles.
It is safe TO say. however. that Russia
has resolved upon policy of procrasti-
nation so that the first Of next year
will find no commercial instrument ex-
listing between the two powers. Rus

International issue.
The Nationalist mass meeting on Thurs
day. called in protest against the United
States, is to be followed by another,
which will be addressed by several men,
bers Of the Douma- The meeting was the
first of its kind ever held in this city
to protest against the action OF a for
eign power. The next meeting will prob
ably be held on the second Sunday in
March.
The government carrying out its policy
OF domestic reform in order to meet
United States tariffs and conduct a trade
war against America is introducing bills
in the Douma for appropriations to fos-
ter industries. The most noteworthy
measure so far introduced is that ap-
propriating $80.00o.000 for irrigation
projects In Turkestsn so that the cot
ton raising industry may be carried on
there on scale sufficiently large to
enable this country to cut of its cotton
supply from the United States.

Opening of the Panama Canal Is
Looked Upon as Beginning Of
Wonderful Development.
d, rHoMAs c. sHorwELL.

New York. Feb. 25.-while the politi
clans are struggling with the unsolvabl'
problems of how to make money. bust
ness and public sentiment run contrary
to the experience of mankind. the reail,
important people OF the country are plan.
ming for the wonderful business and po-
litical developments that will come with
the opening OF the Panama Canal The
truth is sure to become public in few
months at the latest. and 1t might as well
be known now that for months plans
have been carefully carried out TO create
a condition that win make II necessary
for the American army to march into
Mexico. Just now the movement Is in
that condition where one can be positive
with concrete evidence.
To the credit OF the American govern
ment and the American people II can
also be said that. the movement did not
originate with American citizens. It be-
gan with that large percentage OF busi-
ness men in Mexico who have become
tired of the insecure government that
has made 1t impossible for Mexico to be
developed into the wonderful mineral
and agricultural country that she ought
to be. 1t may be that Americans have
OCCh easy W PCAeoAoC Ahec VIC
ment. for they have vast interests in the
republic. Since this movement is pretty
sure to result ip the complete pacifica-
tion OF Mexico Before the Panama Canal
is finished II is none too soon TO con-
slider the logical result.
To American investors II means mill
lions in the way Of profits. for great
part of the capital used for developing
the resources of Mexico will come from
the United States. The country is the
richest mineral and agricultural region
of the earth and Is practically unde-
veloped. Z. II. Hartman looked far
ahead when he planned to build 1000
miles OF Southern Pacific track into Mex
leo. He was probably aiming for the
Panama Canal, and his plan, IL carried
out with vigor. will put the tracks of
the Southern Pacific alongside the canal
by the time ships are passing through
it
The problems that Congress is under
taking to solve, being such as will solve
themselves and cannot be solved by IN
vestigations. business men must go ahead
and ignore them. They are the mosqui-
toes and gadflies that poster hunters in
the wilderness. But the hunter, while he
may slap at the pests now and then, does
not let them divert his attention from
the big game that he keeps in view.
So business men must learn to tolerate
the pests and 60 ahead with the best
they can.

URGES CONVERT
LEAGUE TO HUSTLE
J. Il. Cotton Declares Every Lay
man Must 'Put His Shoulder
to the Wheel"

Sounding q note of alarm TO his audi
tors, President Joseph H. Cotton, OF the
Catholic Convert League. declared in an
address at the knights Of Columbus Hall
yesterday that It WAS necessary for
every Iayman Of the Catholic church to
put his shoulder to the wheel" in con-
verting new members to the faith, to
offset the work Of conversion now being
accomplished by other denominations.
Senator-elect Joseph +. Ransdell, Of
Louisiana, and representative Ben John
son, of Kentucky, made addresses advo-
eating missionary work by laymen
Representative Ransdell was emphatic
IN his announcement OF a Georgia nevspa-
per, which he declared had been publish
ing libellous statements against the Cath
ole church, He advocated immediate in
vestigation by the league, or in event
Of a preventative being necessary the dis
tribution of literature refuting the state
ments Of the publication.
II want TO urge upon the members Of
the league" said Mr.. Ransdell, the en-
cacy Of prayer. For the last eight
months 1 have been engaged in a cam
paign in Louisiana, where I was candi-
date for the United States Senate. Ny
success attribute to my earnest prayers
and those of my friends. When I signi-
fed my intention of entering the Sena-
torial race / was told that the. odds were
so great against me that / would not
even make a contest. Knowing the value
of prayer / entered the race, and next
fall will take my seat in the Senate.
Prayer alone is responsible"
The agitation linked with the Knights
OF Columbus, in which II has been assert
ed by several persons that the order
should be investigated. was dwelt upon
by Representative Johnson He declared
that he would stand by and defend the
knights regardless of what the cost
might be.
Rev. Father Boyle, spiritual adviser Of
the organization, compared the Catholic
laity to the falls OF Niagara, in that
1t was a great power going to waste
which could be harnessed and utilized.

NLIISf1SO' Author of Siwdsh"

Chicago is one of the greatest feats
ever performed by the human race. II
is only seventy-five years old. and yet
1t is the fifth city in the world in size,
and leads the world in lung develop
ment In 1897, Chicago consisted of a
drug store, a main street, and ninety
nine signs, advertising malaria remedies.
To-day It has 2.25o,OO0 Inhabitants, and
the city of seventy-five years ago could
be successfully lost in the largest of its
six union depots.
Chicago was founded in the swamp
of the shores of Lake Michigan by a
lot of thirty-third degree hustlers. There
was no excuse for the city, but this
didn't bother its founders. First they
manufactured the Chicago river out of
a muddy little creek. Then they built
railroads and encouraged people to build
towns along the railroads, and thus pro-
vide a reason for their existence. Later
on, to save time lost by chills and fever,
they boosted the entire city fifteen feet
into the air. the greatest feat of second
story work in history Then they turned
the Chicago river around and made IL
run backward in order to get rid of their
sewage. Finally, because the Illinois
Central Railroad would not get on the
Lake Shore. they moved the Lake Shore
away from it. They are now busy re-
vising the climate, and II they ever
have any trouble with their electric
light companies, they will probably put
a new sun on the night shift. The only
way to get ahead OF a Chicagoan is to
get busy and finish up before he is born.
Chicago was burned in 1871. with a loss
OF 200. 000 but business was only
slightly interfered with for a few days.
The city captured the packing business
Of the country by loading hogs in an
endless railway and butchering them at
a speed of thirty miles an hour. It in
vented the slxyscraper in order TO save
the trouble of building thick stone walls,
and It spent $5o.oo0.0o0 in advertising by
building a worlds fair twenty years ago.
II has put 1000 miles OF its railways on
stiIts to save wear and tear on its citi-
zens, and IN the late eighties, when busi-
ness was dull. II went out and annexed
twenty-five towns, four townships. two
rivers three likes, a sleeping car trust.
four primeyal forests and cattle ranch.

enter the city, and in each one of them
the porter announces, Chicago; all out -
Most of these passengers give up trying
TO find the station to which they must
transfer, and become permanent resi-
dents. Chicago has a $4,000, 900 Uniyer-
sity, an honestly built city hall, a store
so large that II furnishes guides for its
customers, and a baseball team that
has won the pennant five times in six
years. The city is dirty, but no dirtier
than any infant. II is very healthy, ex-
cept to cattle and hogs. The fayorite
diversions Of Chicago men are looping
the loop. taking political conventions
away from New York, showing visitors
through the stock yards, and leaving a
million to some Chicago institution.
Even II you are deaf. It Is very easy 10
tell a Chicago man by the way In which
he walks over other pedestrians from
behind.
