THE GETTYSBURG
REUNION ENDED
FINAL TRIBUTE PAID TO DEAD OF
THE CIVIL WAR-PRESIDENT
WILSON SPEAKS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Gettysburg.-Ther regular army paid
tribute to the thousands who sleep un-
der the hills of Gettysburg. Some
where down in the heart of the tented
city a bugle sang out a call that wan
dered over the field where Lee and
Meade made history: the big flag be-
fore the headquarters Of General Lig-
gett in the sunshine of a perfect July
day came slowly half way down the
shaft, and, in front of the tent, shoul-
ders squared, figure trim in summer
uniform of white and with face toward
the flag, the general clicked his heels
together and stood at attention.
Somewhere the guns of the Third
battery burst into a staccato salute.
Every officer over the length and
breadth of the wide field and every
enlisted man turned away from the
duties of the moment and faced the
flag, heels together, heads up and eyes
alight with the sentiment of the hour.
Only few minutes before President
Wilson had spoken in the big tent to
the veterans in blue and gray, and
only a short time afterwards thous-
ands of those who were left began
their preparations for departing.

PARTY CONFERENCE ENDS
Progressives Meet and Study Prob
Iems-Raps Wilson.

Newport, r. 1.-The Progressive con-
ference ended with a reception for the
party leaders at the convention hall.
The last sessions were of an acad-
cmic nature and dealt with social,
economic and industrial question. The
principal speakers were Oscar s.
Strauss of New York, who emphatical-
ly opposed any alliance between the
Trogressives and either the Democrats
or Republicans.
Prof. Karl Kelsey of the University
Of Pennsylvania, Truxton Beale, who
outlined the scope of the college OF
politics which he wishes to found at
Washington, Clifford Pinchot and Her
bert Knox Smith.
The conservation question: said
Clifford Pinchot, lies at the root of
every material human problem. for
It is the problem of shelter and clothes
which are nothing but natural resourc-
es prepared for the use of man.
Those who believe or hope that re,
dictionary Republicans and Progress
sives can ever be merged misunder-
stand the true meaning of progressive
ism,' said Oscar S. Strauss in speech
Mr.. Straus said President Wilson es
tablished a dangerous precedent when
he signed the sundry civil bill, because
of its provision prohibiting expendi
lures for prosecuting farmer and labor
organizations under the Sherman law
and in this connection said:
ANY law which lessons the power
Of the government in favor of capital
as against labor, or in favor of labor
as against capital, is unjust to both
and when discrimination is made in
favor of the one. it will not be lone
before this will be used as precedent
for discrimination against the other.
