r. f. SMITH PLEADS FOR AID
TO ENGLISH AGRICUITCRIST

uy-London.-F E Smith. X c., NJ. p.
speaking at a banquet given at the
princes restaurant recently by the i'm
perial chapter and the ladies' grand
council of the Primrose League. said
that of all the problems which beset
England today that of rural depopu-
lation was perhaps the greatest.
They had heard quite recently
promises and programs of rural re-
form. They had been told that a
powerful minister. whose record ND to
the present had not been in the direc-
tion of consolidating the interests Of
classes proposed to address his dis
eliminating and informed attention to
the conditions of agricultural life.
That minister quite recently made an
appeal for a non-partv consideration
of the reforms which 1t was believed
he was about to Introduce.
1t was somewhat late in the day
after the speeches which had been
made with reference to bursting" the
landlords, or the land laws he forgot
which to ask them to apply a nom
partizan mind to the process to be
adopted. But they all believed that
the only security to the great center
of a great empire was that they should
give to every citizen the feeling that
he had the means of earning by in
dust~v subsistence for himself and
his family. They could never build up
great empire if. in the very heart
Of the empire they were to have
population in which an absolute ma
ioritv were driven to seek poor law
relief at some stage of their lives.
either in the form of outdoor or in
door relief
He was satisfied that if now there
was a genuine desire on the part Of
their opponents to do something for
the agricultural laborer. and IL pro-
posals were put forward with a sin
gle desire to benefit. not party. not
a partisan. but a great class in the
state, he did not believe that the gen.
tlemen of England would refuse to
respond to such an appeal.

in America for men to give so little

the germ of public libraries, and the
library in Dunfermline reached its
proper destination when he gave the
first library to his native town. He
perpetuated his fathers work. Since
he presented the library to Dunfer-
milne nearly 25OO libraries had been
established amongst the English
speaking race, and he hoped to see
them number 5000.
His great joy was that all these H.
braries were maintained by public
taxation. thus making every citizen a
part proprietor. The disposition Of
wealth, concluded Mr.. Carnegie, is
too unequal Immense fortunes as
rule are not conductive to the general
good. The millionaire has to learn
that he is only the administrator of
his wealth for the general good. The
highest worship is the service of man,
and instead of Heaven our home"
there is also the noble aspiration as
our immediate duty to labor to make
this home our heaven.

Mrs. Soames said that the health,

Arnold Rowntree. who spoke Of
the subject from the urban point Of
view. moved THAT the great difficulty
of obtaining land in some parts of the
country whether for cultivation or
for building purposes, and the great

AFFAIR PROMISES
TO BE BIG SUCCESS
Mr.. Finch Was One of the
First Men in the United
States to Engage in Mod
ern Commercial Associa-
ton Work, and Has De-
voted His Whole Time 10
It for Many Years.

Late yesterday afternoon the COM
mercial Association received word
that owing to an unlocked for and
unavoidable change in his plans, r.
w. Bender would not be able to come
to Pensacola to address those attend
ing the Get-Together dinner Monday
night. The Association feelf how
ever, that while this is a dissppoint-
ment. it has been turned into an ad-
vantage.
The board Immediately. by wire,
urged upon VIII L. Finch OF New
York, that as one who is as much, or
more interested in commercial asso-
citation work as any man in this
country, he owed it to the work to
come here, under the circums tanceso
and address the men of Pensacola on
this occasion, and Mr.. Finch has con-
sented to do so.
Mr.. Finch was one of the first men
in the United States to engage in tIna
modern and practical phases of COM
mercial association work. and has de-
voted his whole time to it for many
years.
The most interesting feature OF his
experience to the men of Pensacola is
the fact that he was formerly. and
for ten years, secretary Of the Indus
trial Bureau of Cincinnati. which was
organized by him, and during that
time the location in that city of ~
industries without paying a single
complished is what Pensacola wants
to know. and there is no doubt that
there win be a large number oE men
at this dinner to hear Mr.. Finch.
A few years ago, in order to broaden
his field of work, Mr.. Finch became.
and now is. editor and proprietor Of
Town DEVELOPMENT Magazine. a New
York publication devoted eXd klusively
to commercial association York in
this and other countries, andA Tecog-
nized as the trade journal of this

In connection with this he iSas.
during the past few years, directed
the work Of placing more crippled
commercial associations on their feet
than any other man in the United
States Mr.. Finch does not claim to
be an orator but he does talk facts,
and presents them straight from the
shoulder.
The association feels that it was
most fortunate in prevailing upon
Mr.. Finch to address this meeting and
there is no doubt that the citizens Of
Pensacola will welcome an opportu-
nifty to hear so high an authority on
a. subject so important to the city.
Mr.. Finch arrived in town last night
and will spend today in looking over
the city and studying conditions in
