Minister in Little Town in

Twenty-Five PROFESSIONS in ALI

Speakers Harrangue
the Multitude.

LADYBANK, Scotland, April A.
Premier Asquith opened his election
campaign this afternoon in the Ma
sonic hall of this little village, The
hall is q diminutive building, with a
holding capacity Of 500. Under these
circumstances the speech of the prime
minister was made to the sixty re
porters present. rather than to the dele.
gates Of the Scottish Liberal associa-
tions, who filled the rest of the hall.
The elaborate telegraphic arrange
ments for the circulation of the pre-.
mier's address through the United
Kingdom testified to the Importance
attached TO the speech in political
circles.
Premier Asquith, as befitted man
who had just assumed the duties of
secretary OF state for war, quickly ap-
preached the subject OF the army crisis.
He said he had felt it to be his duty
in the higher interests OF both the
army and state to assume his new Of
flee Hbecause a grave situation had
been created, both in regard to the dis
cipline Of the army and in connection
with its relation to the civil power. -
The premier continued:
''There is a certainty that if things
went on as they had threatened to do
a controversy would have arisen which
every patriotic man would have been
anxious to avoid until case Of crucial
urgency arose.
Pays Tribute to Army.
Paying tribute to the army, Premier
Asquith declared:
''The army can be counted on, from
the highest to the lowest rank, without
qualification or reserve, TO undertake
all the duties its obligations require it
to discharge. The army is not, and I
pray never will become political
machine. The army has NO place and
no voice in the making of our policy
or the molding Of our laws. The army
will hear nothing of politics from me
and in return I expect to hear nothing
of politics from the army
Turning to exceptional circumstances
in which the army might be called on
to assist the civil power, Asquith said
sin such emergencies it is the duty
Of the soldier and the duty of the
civilian TO comply with the lawful de-
mand of the civil power, The doctrine
promulgated lately by the leaders OF
the Tory party struck at the very root

All the meetings were addressed by
peers and members OF parliament who
never before had competed with the

who customarily occupy the open-air
platforms.
The speakers fiercely denounced any
attempt to "use the army and navy

Demands were expressed that the
government should Immediately sub

ist Leader; Austen Chambsrliain. i. q son son
and such prominent Unionist peers as
Viscount Milner, the Earl of selborne
and Lord Lond donderry, as well as Lord
Robert Cecil and Lord Charles Beres-
ford, were among the speakers.
An attractive contingent in the pro.
cession was formed by body Of 5000
men, mostly from the, stock exchange,
which formed upon the Thames EN-.
bankment, then marched to the park,
and there took lively part in singing
the hymn, "Oh God, Our Help in Ages
PAST and "God, Save the King"
which opened the proceedings.
Balfour's Speech.
Arthur Balfour, former Unionist pre-
mier, who occupied the center plat
form, moved a resolution protesting
against the use of the army and navy
against Ulster and demanding an inn
mediate general election on home rule.
He said:
"The government is on the point Of
committing great national crime. If
the crime is committed, it will be fol.
lowed by one of the greatest national
disasters
When bugles announced the time for
taking a vote on the resolution, Sir
Edward Carson sprang on TO the wagon
waving a Union Jack and calling for
three cheers for the king. His act
aroused wild enthusiasm in the vast
gathering, which cheered for some
minutes.

Weyerhaeuser conceived the idea OF
the Mississirni Boom River d Logging
company, which was combination OF
the biggest men IN the lumber trade
OF the middle west and which was con-
summated in Chicago in December,
1870. Weyerhaeuser attended the meet

of three members OF the executive COM
mittee. Within few years his asso'
ciates in the concern discovered that
Weycrhaeuser was the Mississippi
Boom & Logging company" He be-
came its president one year after Its
years. From this point the value Of
his holdings began to run into the mil

Another important landmark in his
career was in 1884, when he obtained
the cooperation of Edward Hines, the
Chicago lumberman who became wide
ly known at the time of the Lorimer
senatorial scandal,
Weyerhaeusor acquired some Of the
largest and most valuable timber and
mineral holdings in northern Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. In tho last
twenty years his interests increased go
rapidly that even bankers close to him
in a business way were unable to keep
track Of his vast holdings
He entered the Pacific coast field
and the southern lumber field on a
scale that made wealthy men gasp.
The organization Of $12,000,000 and
SIS 100000 contracts to handle indiyid-
ual timber and mineral companies be-
came commonplace. Only an execu.
tors appraisement can accurately total
his wealth.

SALEM, Ore, April 4.-According to
an estimate made by State Forester Ell

Frederick w. Weyerhaeuser in Oregon
total about 100000 acres, These lands
are scattered throughout the state, but
the largest holdings are in klamath,

The state forester was unable to es~

tho lands are of a choice character and
are worth many millions Of dollars.
