WILSON'S MOBILE
SPEECH EPOCHAL
SAYS DANIELS
Declares Speech Will Live as
the mobile Declaration"
Underwood Struck
Keynote

Atlanta, October 2s.--"President VIII
sons speech yesterday at Mobile was
epochal; it will live in history as the
Mobile Declaration, declared Secre-
tary, of the Navy Josephus Daniels here
today. 1T was a logical and necessary
addition to the Monroe doctrine. That
doctrine still is our pillar of cloud but
since the United States acquired Porto
Rico, the Philippines and the Panama
canal zone, there has been growing
suspicion that we were falling into the
ways of some other nations; that we
were using the Monroe doctrine to keep
other nations out of the Latin American
republics but would go in ourselves
whenever we felt like It,
THE Mobile Declaration effeetually
has put an end to any such thought. 1t
has shown Europe where we stand, and
it should allay suspicion for all time
and bring us into closer spiritual re-
lationship with the countries to the
south -

Present Administration in
Speech Before Meth0-
dist Gathering

Indianapolis, October 2S.-That "we now
have Christian man in the White
House, an administration of Sabbath OBJ
servance in all the departments of govern
ment," and that President Taft's admin
istration represented more subserviency
to the liquor interests and other bad COM
binatiohs than any other In American his
tory" were the declarations of DIR. Clar-
.enee True Wilson of Topeka. Kas., secre-
tary of the temperance society of the
Methodist church. who addressed the ma
tional convention of Methodist men here
this afternoon.
DIR. Wilson declared that President
Taft waited until the last minute, when
he hoped there would be no time for re-
consideration, before vetoing the Webb
liquor bill, and said his administration
went down to defeat beneath an ava
lanche of indignant protest, such as never
has been duplicated In the United States"
"A great Christian leader is Secretary
of State now,' continued DIR. Wilson.
"Our former Secretary of State used TO
send out letters to all American consuls
notifying them of brewers conventions
and irdering them to investigate and see
what they could do to increase the expor-
tation of American beers to their country
William j. Bryan will never do that.
When Mr.. Bryan calls the representatives
of the nations around his hospitable board
he eerves the same kind of grape juice
which was used in Palestine in the days
of Jesus And when a few newspapers
commented, Mr.. Bryan made a speech
that was heard around the world"

that it would not be necessary for this
country to act in any way except in
friendly capacity. He impressed this
opinion upon all with whom he talked.

be added fou .tll-important features of
an executive programme.
The first of these was the Mobile

Arctic Brotherhood
 Convention Is Now On

When they were here they were with us and for us and of us, but now they have become so contaminated by out side influences that they have fallen into the habit of regarding the men of the North as dependents, and would make us subservient to them. By maneuyering and euchroaching and in- sinuating they have gradually become the dominant factors in the law-mak- ! ing body of the Arctic Brotherhood. A body in which they had been allowed 10 retain offices by courtesy, until, be- coming bold with success, they have attempted with most surprising temer- Iity to subjugate all the old traditions, all the old memories. all the old ties, to their own selfish interests and de sires. By which they have unwittingly rendered the Arctic Brotherhood an excellent service; for they have brought the Brothers who are still following and blazing the trails in the North to a realization of their dangerous situation. They have dropped the spark that has lighted every camp with knowledge of what should be done to insure the future. That has intensified interest in the Brotherhood. That has cemented a determination to preserve the North land for Northerners."
