President Makes No Set Speeches but Repartee Takes Its Place at
 Many Towns
A STUDENTS SERENADE
Railroad Men Tell the Exc cutive They are With Him in His Cam
 paign

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-While Presi- dent Wilson made no speeches, great crows greeted him at all stations in Ohio. Indiania. and Illinois and there was running fire of Ques- tions and answers.
 "I am before a jury and can't say anything" was the way the President explained it in several towns.
 q am not making a speech-mak- ing campaign" said the President at Lime. but it touches me and gratifies me all very much to get the greetings l have all along the line.
 eve did not want a speech. we wanted to see our President, a man called out:
 "Hurrah for the eight hour day came another.
 q don't think much of speech making, but I think it is better than I am to look at" Wilson said.
 "We want to see Mrs. Wilson, man shouted.
 "Pu admit she is better worth looking at than I am," replied the President. as he brought Mrs. Will son forward.
 "I heard a Republican say to- day he was going to vote for you, a man called out at Wooster, Ohio
 "He must be a good man" re- torted Wilson.
 You were with us in the eight hour day and we are with you. said g man at orville, the railroad town.
 Good" the President replied.

MR. JOHNSON IS
 AS INACCURATE AS
 JUDGE WICKERsHAM

Congressman Albert Johnson exhibits about the same degree of accuracy in discussing Alaska matters and the history of Alas l,a Legislation as Delegate Wick ersham displays. In giving what he calls a simple history of the Alaska railroad bilA Mir. John son is quoted by the Dispatch as saying;
 "All of the hearings covering several weeks in the House were on the Wickersham bill which finally passed the House and when it reached the Senate practically all of it's provisions were in- cluded in the Chamberlain bill, and the other was given the name on the calandar for the reason that it was a party measure and because the Democratic party wanted to father it.
 "That's the simple history of the Dlll.
 In the first place the Wicker sham bill never passed the House at all, and consequently. Of course. it never reached the Sen ate. In the next place the Sen ate acted on the Alaska railroad bill before the House acted, and when the Chamberlain bill the bill which passed the Senate came to the House it was trim mod down $5,OOO,OOO to make it look more like the Wickersham bill for which it had been substi- tuted.
 The more Mir. Johnson talks while in Alaska the less appears tue necessity of his first inter view saying that this is his first trip to Alaska.

President Sets Forth New Ideas Which Are to Govern This
 Country
CONDITIONS ALTERED
Every Political and DomeS- tic Question Has been Changed in Past
 Years

OMAHA. Oct. 5.-In a spirited address to the business men this afternoon President Wilson declared that the time has passed when "big and new things facing Amer ica can be done in the old way.
 "Those." he said. " who hesitated to break the traditions and who did not confront the new age with new ideas. are going to be left at the post"
 For the next decade we've got to serve the world" he said, and this situation has altered every poli- tical and domestic question.
 Heretofore work of America has been done by those who wished to exploit the world Hereafter it must be done by those wishing to gain the confidence of the world.
 Give me verdict that will con- tinue for 25 years and care not a peppercorn for the verdict of 1916"
 The President brought tremen- dous applause when he added:
 "I have known men who tied up their ideas in their head the same as the old woman may tie up her savings in her handkerchief and when they unrayeled the knot they found their ideas were no longer currency. I have known such men in politics"

INTERNATIONAL
 LAW BE PRIMER
 AFTER THE WAR
Stable International Code will Be Outcome of the European.
 Trouble.
TO FIX LAWLESSNESS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. - Inter- national law will stand on a firmer basis after the war, despite the buff fetings 1t has received, than ever before, according to Charles War ren, assistant attorney-general, who is making study of international legal questions for the administra- tion.
 "The very violations of interna- tional law the last two years have witnessed will make the establish ment and maintenance of stable international code imperative" says Mir. Warrer today. "The experience es of people during periods of law lessness teach them to respect a fixed code. In fact, after experience ing unbridled lawbreaking, they in- sist that some law be respected. The history of each frontier has been that because of the liklihood of general law-breaking, some code has been enforced with extraordin- ary vigor. The war has taught the world that it must tighten up it's international code if the nations are ito have any guide on which they can rely. International law is bound to be rehablliated, revised and es tablished in a more enduring form.
 MT. Warren is the author of sev eral bills drawn to safeguard Ameri can neutrality and he has had full charge of the investigations anC prosecutions resulting from unneu tral activities in the United Statel of representatives of foreign na
 tions.
