The regular meeting of the Chat
auqua Circle was held in the Chapel,
wit b fourteen members present,
meeting called to order by the Pres
ident. Upon roll call by the Secre-
tary each member responded with a
quotation. Business matters were
disposed of and the programme as
arranged was carried out.

ion and Festivals" BY Mr.. l.
Second paper" The Greeks con-
ception of the Relation of Man to

Third paper, The Poetry, Trag-
edy and Comedy of the Greeks"
By Mr.. S.
All of the papers were good and
well written but were subjects that
did Lot bring out much discussion.
The report of the Critic was with
held.
The members were highly honor
ed by the presence of Miss Hanson
of Minneapolis, an elocutionest of
much talent, who entertained the
members for a hour~with select
readings, which we're thoroughly
enjoyed. Miss Hanson is not only
an exceptionally gifted woman but

ped unfortunates who are trying to
make some progress along Chautau

member feels that he has a friend
and we'll wisher in Miss Hanson.
She certainly manifested her inter-
est and zeal by coming through the
cold of last Sunday to cheer us on our
way. These are the little Influences
that silently leaven the Jumps of our
sordid lives and we can only echo
the hope of the Circle that she will
come again when possible.

from the first ray of the morning sun
on the Atlantic coast, until the last
ray is lost upon the peaceful coast
of the Pacific; 1t still follows Old Sol
on his course to the Hawaiian islands
where it proudly floats as seminal
upon the western coast. The flag
OF our country stands for what the
flag of no other country stands for.
It stands for liberty, the greatest lib
erty known to man. Not alone
does it selfishly stand for liberty,
but it stands for a political and re-
Eligious government in the western
hemisphere. Its benefcient sway is
no longer bounded by the lake and
gulf nor by the Pacific and Atlantic
Oceans, but it opens its hospitable
folds to Cuba, and many republics of
South America.
The-grand uplifting policy of the
last one hundred years, the policy
that tran sformed a wilderness into a
garden of fruitfulness, the policy
that abolished slavery and establish
ed free schools, the policy that gives
to labor it's just rewards and makes
this land of happy homes and happy
hearts is the adopted policy for Ha-
| wall, Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES
over whose domain now proudly
floats the flag of immortal Washing
ton. 1t is this fag-our fag-that
gives to suffering humanity t ne
balm of humanity. Overburdened
with love, peace and justice, it will
go to the lowest creature under its
protecting fold and give him an
equal opportunity with his fellows.
''he sun of liberty that rises over
/ Cuba giids with it's Warmth the west
ern hemisphere. 1t sends to the
oppressed throughout the world
ray of hope, and wherethat flag hangs
or floats, on land or sea. it means
victory for the rights of man and
eternal doom for all despotism; the
flag which Washington designated
and adopted isa symbol Of all We are,
and of all we hope to be.
1t means that this continent has
been dedicated to freedom.
1t means that the little red school
house is the fortress of liberty and
Christianity.
1t means that every person shall
worship God according to his own
conscience.
1t means there shall be a legal
remedy for every wrong
1t means protection for every cit
izen (native or naturalized) at home,
abroad or at sea.
1t means that our government
shall stand between labor and capt.
tai, between the weak and the strong.
between want and wealth and guar
antee simple justice to all without
fear or favor.
Beneath it's folds the weakest m ust
be protected and the strongest must
obey.
It represents the sufferings of the
past, and upon it's sacred folds are
written the bloody dramas of 1776-

tinople, as seen when approaching
from the sea. The wonderful color
of the water, the bright, cloudless sky,
tie CLEAN of many marble buildings
surrounded by green foliage. all goes
to make picture once seen, never
forgotten.
We have beauty of form, beauty
of setting, beauty Of atmosphere,
but alas! the voice does not fit the
figure. The tones as they arise to
us show the corruption and disease
within. The beauty is only skin
deep, beauty of the form, not beauty
of the soul.
Have you not at sometime seen a
woman, beautiful as dream? You
have perhaps followed and found
some way of making her acquaint-
ance, and then you1 have heard her
talk, heard the tone of the voice, heard
the thought that she gave expression
to, and you have turned away with
contempt in your heart that one so
outwardly fair, can be so inwardly
vile. That is our experience in this
city. We wander around, we see
the numerous mosques and other
public buildings, we view with ad-
miration the wonderful old church
of St. Sophia, one of the most famous
of European churches. Built by the
great Justinlon in the sixth centu-
ary, it is one of the great monuments
of Christianity, both from the archi-
tectural and artistic point of view.
For nine hundred years it stood for
the glory Christendom, but for the
last 500 years that is. since when
in 1850 the Sultan Mohammed II
rode in his triumph into the Christ
ian church of St. Sophia and changed
it into the M6hammedan mosque of
San Sofia--it has been the pride and
glory of the Crescent. Magnificent
building, but surrounded by novels;
streets that take you over the boot
tops in rotting refuse; dogs, the city's
chief scavengers: sights, sounds and
smells thst would drive a civilized
health officer into dispair, if not
worse; clean without, rotten within.
And the same characteristics that
are true Of the city are true of the
people. Meet one of the business
men and you will have your business
put off until tomorrow, because, /
believe. Turk will never do today
what he can put off until some later
time, except fight, and that he dear
ly loves and is always ready for.
But W have just met Mr.. Business
Man; he will offer you coffee and
sweetmeats. and then likely ask you
to his home, and you will be wise to
accept. Go with him, p er b a s
| across the Galata Bridge to the beau
tiful suburb of Pera. Nothing will
be more pleasant; you will find beau
tiful residences in beautiful surround
ings; he will be courteous and gen.
erous host. But when you get down
to business with him he will cheat
in every way possible. Nothing can
be secure d without bribery, and
everything and person can be bought;
it is only question of price. The
double cross can be given more
effectually and in more ways in Con-
stantinople than in all the rest Of the
world combined.
The city has one glory: the brav-
cry of il is citizens, but that alone
cannot offset the sloth, deceit, dirt,
graft, and abuse of their women by
the "Unspeakable Turk"

SETTLE EXPRESS RATE CASE
Suits to Restrain Order of Railroad
Commission Will Be Dropped
by Companies.

Madison--The suits brought by the
express companies operating in Wis
consin to restrain the enforcement of
the recent order of the state railroad
commission, reducing the rates on
merchandise about 20 per cent. have
been settled by agreement between
the state and the companies whereby
the railroad commission is to issue a
supplemental order substituting rates
similar to those recently ordered by
the interstate commission for the
rates ordered by 1t.
AS soon as the supplemental order
is issued the express companies will
move to have it's suits dismissed. The
new rates are to go into effect at the
same time as those ordered by the in
terstate commission, which will be on
December /, or soon thereafter. The
state railroad commission considers
that the new rates to be ordered will
be practically as low as those recently
ordered by it.

HIGH COURT HOLDS
BAKER LAW VALID
WISCONSIN SUPREME TRIBUNAL
RULES IN LIQUOR LICENSE
TEST CASE.
MAY CLOSE 1900 SALOONS
State Sustained on Every Point
Court Declares One Saloon to Ev-
cry $50 Inhabitants Is Limit--Many
Milwaukee Licenses Invalid.

Milwaukee.-The supreme court al
Madison has sustained the constitu.
tionality of the Baker law which linn
it's the number of saloons to one to
every $50 inhabitants and prohibits
the transfer of licenses from one To-
cation to another until the ratio is
within the limit.
The effect of this decision is to null
lily nearly 1900 licenses granted last
July in various localities OF the state.
Over two hundred licenses are inval-
dated in Milwaukee alone.
The state is sustained on every
point The court holds that the limi-
tatfon fixed by the legislature only
operates to create a preference tenn
porarily and that provisions for one
saloon to every $50 people are "pre-
sumably adequate facilities for
quenching all lawful thirst"
The courts decision is given in a
test case brought by Frank Zodrow
of Milwaukee, who was convicted of
having sold liquor without license.
His defense was that he had been
granted a license by the common coun-
Gil but the state contended the license
was invalid, as the council had NO
authority to grant it under the terms
of the Baker law.

Milwaukee, Oct 2S.-Seven firemen
were killed, four persons are missing
and twenty-four were injured as the
result of 100000 fire which began
in the four-story building of the Good
year Rubber company, in the center
Of the business district Sunday night.
The men were killed under a fall
ing wall when an explosion wrecked
the building and smashed glass in
surrounding buildings within a
radius Of two blocks. A priest strug-
gled through the debris and gave the
buried men absolution.
Lieut.. Charles Newton of the in
surance patrol was entombed under g
pile of bricks and timber for moro
than two hours, but was rescued. It
was found he had only suffered minor
injuries, though he was with the men
on whom the wall fell. A timber had
fallen In such a position that 1t pro-
tected him from the remainder Of the
debris.
Seven bodies and twenty-four In
jured men were taken from the ruins.

Put On U. S. Policy.
SAYS "MORALITY0 is OUR AIM
President Asserts In Speech at Mobile,
AIa.y That Rule OF Foreign In
terests In This Hemisphere
Must Cease.

Mobile. Ala, Oct. 29--While avoid
ing any mention specifically of Mexi
CO, or any European influence connect
eel with the Mexican situation, Presi
dent Wilson delivered speech Monday
which appeared to be freighted with
significance and which served to point
with directness the policy Of the Unit
ed States not only toward Mexico but
toward all Central and South Ameri
can republics.
II want to take this occasion to say
that the United States will never again
seek another foot of territory on this
continent by conquest" he declared
In a stirring address on Latin-Ameri
can relations before the Southern
Commercial congress.
Though Mr.. Wilson did not mention
Mexico as the afflicted country, he de-
voted his entire speech to descrip-
ton of the degrading influence which
foreign coneessionaires had had upon
the internal affairs OF some OF the
Latin American countries.
With the Mexican situation upper.
most in the presidents mind at this
time, his address was interpreted as
an arraignment of those financial in
fluences which it has been charged
have secured in some cases recogni-
ton for the Huerta government.
Come because / want to speak TO
our present and prospective relations
with our neighbors to the south, the
Latin-American states" said Presi-
dent Wilson in opening his address.
THE opening of the isthmus OF
Panama will open the world to the
SOUTH" he said, "and the Latin-Ameri-
can states which have been off the
main lines will now be on the main
line"
You hear of concessions to foreign
capital in Latin-America," continued
the president. THAT concessions are
not granted in the United States, that
when capital comes it comes invited
but is not privileged. The Latin
American states have had harder bar
gains driven with them than any other
people In the world"
He said that the United States is
trying to deal with them In terms of
equality and honor and that the state
department is now trying to deal with
them in a new spirit. The develop
ment of constitutional liberty in the
world was his dearest aim.
America is a synonym for individual
liberty" he declared. do not think

never condone inequality because It is
