NATIONAL BUSINESS CONGRESS
STANDS FOR MERCHANT MARINE

CHICAGO, December ia mer
chant marine and reform in the con
sular service were the big items in
resolutions to be adopted at the clos.
ing session of the national business
congress in the gold room of the Con-
gress Hotel, according to reports that
came this afternoon from the commit
tee having the drafting of a platform
in hand. The business man will also
be urged to take a more active part in
practical politics in an effort to obtain
relief in the way of legislation bust
ness interests are asking.
Importance of the consular service
was discussed before the delegates to-
day by John Ball Osborne, chief of the
bureau of trade relations of the De-
partment of State. He declared it Is
only recently that the manufacturer
and the exporter had come to a reali-
cation of the potential usefulness to
them of this government agency in ex-
tending trade relations. He decried the
idea of filling these posts with Office
seekers.
Formerly Many Unfit Consus.
"Consulships," said Mr. Osborne,
have always possessed a peculiar fas'
cination to Office seekers, and under
the old system they were filled by all
sorts and conditions of men, ranging
from distinguished literateurs, military
men and retired statesmen to ward
politicians, bankrupt business men,
professional failures, superannuated
clergymen, individuals in quest of a
genial climate and adventures of varg
ious kinds.

CHOICE BITS FROM HOUSE
DEBATE ON PENSION BILL

punctuation that If 1t had not been for
the work of the old soldier In saving
this nation thousands of you who now
pride yurself upon your knowledge OF
those subjects would be ignorant OF
the same, because instead of attend
ing for years as you did colleges and
universities, you would probably have
spent the same time as conscript sol.
diers guarding the boundary line be-
tween the North and Dixie's Land.
An Opposition Speech.
Mr., Dies of Texas, in his speech, an
swering a question if We did not still
pay one revolutionary question, said:
Well, then, the account is practically
closed. We paid $4,000, 900 as a. com
plete settlement for the pensions OF
the Revolution that give us the thir
teen colonies and the start upon which
we based this vast Republic.
For the War of 1912, $45.0OO,OO0; In
dian wars, $1O,OOO,OOO War with Mex
leo (up to date), $43.OOO,OOO; the Civil
War, S3.s37, 4SS,171.42.
In other words taking the war with
Spain, the regular establishment. hun
classified pensions. the war with Mex
leo, the Indians wars, the war Of 1912
and the war of the Revolution, the to-
tai pensions paid on account Of these
wars was $2S5,5OO,OOO, while the pen
sions on account of the Civil War have
been s3,S37OOO,OOO.
1t is no reflection upon the federal
soldier that he receives this tremend-
Gus largess at the hands OF the fed
eral government. The federal soldier
is a human being just like the Confed-
crate soldier, like the member of Con
gress and the balance OF the human
family. If you should offer him the
salary of a congressman for his ser
vices in the Civil War he would take
It. and we could not blame him. Inc
whole question is, Shall We tax the

American citizenship"
Service Now Nonpartisan.
Mr.. Osborne pointed out that the
service has been reorganized since 1906
and is now upon a strictly non-parti-
san basis. He advocated the passage
by Congress of a bill similar to those
pending upon the subject that Will
strengthen the non-partisan features
and improve the present system. He
favored the bill on this subject pre-
scented by Frank O. Lowden, former
congressman from Illinois, which, he
asserted, meets the situation

visory board of business men, to be ap-

mended by Mr.. Osborne.
Advocates Elastic Currency.
Elastic Currency for the People"
was the subject discussed by e. CIar-
ence Jones of New York He argued
in favor of legislation for the adoption
of a plan making United States bonds
into bonds and currency
at the option of any holder during the
life of the bonds. He said this was in
every way desirable and would be
highly favorable to all public and pri-
vate interests.

fessions of guilt were expected, it was
indicated to the President by many
persons that an unfavorable political
effect might come with the labor ele-
ment in the country if he took defin-
tie stand in the case. The President,
it is said, told Mr. Lawler he. would
proceed regardless of that.
Mr. Taft was in favor OF beginning
the federal prosecution here, but it was
pointed out that because of the pen
dency of the states case a cumber-
some situation might arise. The In

told, however, were anxious to. go

President said he would give his an

Communicates With Wickersham.
Immediately after leaving here the
President was in communication with
Attorney General Wickersham, and the
order went forth to United States Dis

So far as the state was concerned,
the effect here was immediate. Dis

Many witnesses who had been per-

Disresarded Personal Side.
THE Presidents real part in this
case has never been known" declared
man who knows the details of It,
HE went ahead regardless of personal
considerations and would have pro
ceeded much earlier, l am sure, if we
could have told him the facts. AS the
evidence was coming in daily, how
ever, it was impossible to take the
subject up by mail with Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham. Letters pass through
the hands of many clerks. Our only
move was to appeal to the President
directly when he came here, and he
acted at once"

SCALP OF GLOTFfLTER
Machine Manipulators Desire to
Separate it From the Head That
Walks Under 1t
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
ST. PAUL. Jan. 2:-Charles Glotfel-
ter. president of the State Agrlcul-
tural Association, more popularity
known as the State Fair society, is to
have opposition for reelection at the
annual meeting on January 9Th.
Glotfelter has given a good measure
of satisfaction in most quarters, it
would seem, but there is nevertheless
strong undercurrent of opposition
to him. By some of those interested
in state fair matters it is claimed
that the bad weather of last year fur
nished welcome excuse for the fall
ing off in attendance and receipts at
tile annual fair. On the other hand
Glotfelter's friends allege that had
tie weather been satisfactory the
fair would have been the most sue
cessful in the states history.
But candidate has been brought
forth. Notwithstanding the talk OF
harmony i'm the association. in the
Sperson of Asher Murray of Wadena
county. Murray is said to have had
wide experience i'm matters agricul-
tural. of sort which would amply
qualify him for the position. While
he has not become an active candi-
date his friends are working hard in
his behalf. John Furlong of Aus
tin. who has been candidate on pre-
vious occasions, is also receiving
prominent mentioH along that line
again. But the real opposition to
Glotfelter will probably settle about
Murray.
A peculiar situation presents itself
with reference to the affairs of the
State Agricultural Society and it is
limited that in it's desire to remove
tie state fair from political influence
an even worse blunder has been
made by the legislature. the control
of the fair now being given to eight
societies. II h e asst legislature
named the societies which should
have voice in the affairs OF the
parent organization. the right of SUI
frage being conditional upon certain
requirements which only few have
fulfilled.
Under the old law representation
was granted at the meetings of the
society to any society formed for the
advancement of agriculture and its
kindred lines. In this way many so
called ''pink tea societies wer e.
formed over night, their sole purpose
being the advanc ement of the selfish
interests of some candidate or some
section
Now, however, the societies en-
titled to vote are thus defined:
':Three delegates to be chosen annu-
ally by one county agricultural society
in each county in the state, one del
egate to be named by any county
board of commissioners, individuals
entitled to honorary membership by
eminent work in agriculture and the
arts, and two delegates to be named
by each of about twenty-five general
societies named specifically. OF these
latter only eight have qualified for
representation at the meeting to be
held on January 9th.
Under this condition of affairs
many are fearful lest manipulation of
state fair politics will be more easy
than ever before. Formerly the meet
ings have been attended by about 200
delegates and even greater number
but under this plan this number will
