criticised the action of the Episcopal
Convention in ST. LOUIS, when they
proposed resolutions tending toward
conversion of Jews from their faith

DR. Calisch declared The measure
in question was offered in St. Louis
At the triennial convention of the

 Society is Jury; Am Counsel" eff men want to get rich. they must have human relationships with those who help them to get rich. That IS a lesson that men have been exceed ingly slow to learn, slower than any other lesson of cooperation in Amer1- ca. I pray God that their eyes may be opened and they may see that the future of this country lies in their
 cooperation, open, candid, cordial,
 and not in their antagonism, and that if they will once get together and
 plan in the same spirit the Nsame
 things the industry of America will
 go forward by leaps and bounds such
 as we never yet have conceived. Sometimes it is necessary in order to arrest attention, to pull men up with a round turn and say Stop, look, listen,' because presently if you don't
 the great forces of society will correct the things that have gone wrong. So- ciety 4s the jury. The parties are not going to settle. The nation is going to settle and I am counsel for the na- ton. l-
 And so, my fellow citizens, you see how this little plant of the cause of good roads spreads into a great tree, bearing upon its bougiIs the fruits of the savor Of life. We have got to know each other. We have got to co- operate with each other. We have got to stand together. That is all that politics is for As contest for office it is contemptible, but as combina- tion of thoughtful men to accomplish kSomething for the nation, it is honor Aole. If could not be associated with \ Congress that did something I would quit. If I didn't think that making speeches contributed a little bit to the common thought. that it had nothing to do with selfish purposes. but had pose, I wouldn't make any speeches. Speeches are not interesting because of the man who makes them or the words he uses. They are interesting in proportion .as> the people who hear believe what he says

cross them. There is a very genial saying of a great English writer that he never could hate a man he knew. And sectionalisn is > based upon the radical danger of every nation. name ly, ignorance. The only thing that breeds darkness in the world is ig- norance. The only thing that really blinds us is not knowing what we are talking about. The only thing that binds a nation together is the knowl- edge of it's several parts of each oth- CT. -, { My fellow citizens, I need not tell you that I did not come here to talk is pertinent in this connection which I cannot deny myself the privilege of saying. Any man who revives the is- sue of sectionalism in this country is unworthy of the confidence of the Ma tion. He shows himself a provincial; he shows that he Himself does not know the various sections of his own country; he shows that he has shut his own heart 'up in a little province, and that those who do not seek the special interests of tha tprovince are to him sectional while he alone is national. That is the depth of anti patriotic feeling.
 Creating UncQnquerable Force.
 And that is my interest in good roads, for, my fellow citizens, my present interest is chiefly in the na- tionalization of America. We have created a great people. At least, if I may put it so, we have brought to- gether all the elements, all the com ponent parts, all the necessary char acters and industries and material re- sources of a great nation, and we sud- denly find we are face to face with the problem of assembling these ele- ments in the sense in which the mechanic assemblies parts of a ma- chine, and having assembled those elements, to put them together for the creation of one unconquerabIe force to which thew orld hereafter hall. look for most of it's forward im- pulse, for most of its ideal principles, for most of it's example inl the prac- tice of liberty.
 ''Therefore, the thing that I am more interested in than anything else in these days is the forces that make for drpwing America together into a great spiritual unit
 America came into existence, my fellow citizens, not in order to show he. world the most notable example t had ever had of the accumulation , md use of material wealth, but in

order to show the way to mankind in every part of the word to justice and freedom and liberty. So that the words I want you to carry in your mind in connection with this good roads cause are these:
 "First-Nationalizat getting all the flores of this great vital people united in a single organism.
 "Second-Mobilizatfo getting them so related to each other, so co-ordi- mated; so organized, so united, that when they move, they move as a single great, irresistible, conquering force.
 'Third-The word that want you to consider is the word that I sup pose affords the key to doing these things. That word is,'the word CO., operation.
 "I wish that each one of us could fix in his mind the difference between the way we have been trying to do things and the way we ought to do things. We have been trying to do thingss by combination, by setting off one powerful group against another, by setting up groups in particular in dustries or spheres of our life which try to exclude all other groups by the power or by the method of their destroying competition. That is not the way to build a nation together That is the way to build it up into warning elements.
 Good Signs in the Air''
 Instead of exclusive combinations, l want to see universal cooperation. There are good signs in the air. Have you not noticed how almost every great industry, every great profession, every year holds a congress of some sort? Why. even the Advertising men, who we thought were the sharpest competitors in America. have a na- tional association in which they CO., operate. For what purpose? For the purpose of getting ahead of each guiding one another and setting up standards, and the chief standard they have adopted is the word Truth And so, in profession after profession, men are getting together by way of cooperation instead of by way of mutual destruction. I hold this to be happy omen. I see the growth in America of this conception of solidarity of the interest of each being the interest of all and the in terest of each growing out of the in- ,terest of all.
 There is one field in which we are particularly sluggard in respect of

was very weak. I could not rest at night. My appetite was very, poor and my digestion was bad. I began to use Tanlac and am all right again. I have hearty appetite, good diges- tion and sleep like Q top. I have lots of new strength and energy and can do as much work as anybody. Tanlac certainly makes one feel like a new man and I want to recomend 1t to all"
 For those who need better C;ges- tion and appetite, stronger nerves, bet ter blood, and new strength and ener- gy. Tanlac is the ideal tonic. As has been often stated before, Tanlac is purely vegetable in composition and is free from harmfuI drugs and injurious minerals. Tanlac is not laxative which eventually paralyzes the bowels and one does not have to keep in- creasing the dose to get the desired results.
 Prof. M. M. Ochincoff, the Tanlac Man, is on hand daily at the Atlantic Pharmacy, 99o Main street There he meets those interested in Tanlao and courteously explains the medicine and its action.-AdvertissSaA

MT. Hill, who prior to accepting a position with the street car company was employed for two years by the Geometric Tool Company as a machinist. said regarding his ex- perience with Tanlac:
 I want to add my thanks to those of the other people whoh ave used Tanlac andf ound it beneficial A great many of the boys who work for the street car company already know what a great tonic Tanlac is since many of them have used the medicine and have been helped by it. But for those who don't know about it yet and for my friends out at the Geo. metric Tool Company who need tonic, I want to publicly testify that Tanlac is a wonderful system builder, blood tonic and strength giver

Sir William Robertson Re-
garded as Kitchener'S
Logical Successor.
KING CALLS COUNCIL
TO CONSIDER PROBLEM
Names Of David Lloyd George
and Lord Derby Also Are
Mentioned.

London, June 6.-Immediately upon
the receipt Of the news of Earl Kitch-
cner's death the King came from Wind
sor and sent for Premier AsquIth. The
War Council held long session.
Naturally, speculation regarding
Kitchener's successor began immedi-
ately. Among those discussed were
David Lloyd George, Lord Deby and
the chief of the imperial staff. Sir
William Robertson. But whether a
militaryman or civilian Will take the
War Office has not yet been decided.
Present at the War Council were Sir
William Robertson, Sir Edward Grey,
Secretary for Foreign Affairs; Regln-
aid McKenna. Chancellor of the tx
chequer, and David Lloyd George, MIN
lister OF Munitions.
Sir William. Robertson, who Is re-
garded by the public as the only pos
sible successor 10 Earl Kitchener as
the head Of the British army, already
had taken over the War Secretary
duties temporarily when the Secretary
started on his i'll fated journey. On
Saturday and again yesterday he had
audiences with King George TO report
on the activities on the British front,
in which the Canadians have so dis
tinguished themselves.
The general has the full confidence
of the country. While only member
of Parliament may serve as Secretary
Of War, General Robertson would be
eligible IL raised to the peerage. or a
member Of Parliament might be APP
pointed War Secretary, with the un-
Outstanding that the general, like Earl
Kitchener, would have free rein.

MRS. I. E. ROOSEVELT
CALLS HUSBAND CRUEL
Appears in Suit for Separation
from COlonelS Cousin.

Mrs. Edith II. Briscoe Roosevelt, who
successfully defended an annulment
suit in Brooklyn, appeared yesterday
in the Supreme Court as. plaintiff in
suit for separation from John Ellis

The Roosevelts were married on

welt, who are respectively brother OF
the defendant and a sister of the plain
tiff. They both had been married be-
fore. Mrs. Roosevelt testified that her
husband had several times choked her
and that he used profane language.
On one occasion, said Mrs. Roosevelt,
her husband used profane language in
the presence of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert d.
Roosevelt, whereupon Mr.. Roosevelt's
brother reproached him, saying he was
ashamed to be his brother.
Under cross-examination Mrs. Roose-
welt denied that it had been her Gus
tom TO go to Sherry's for luncheon and
remain away from home for hours.
She also denied that she had told her
chauffeur that Mr.. Roosevelt had been
unkind to her and that they were to
separate. She said that before her
marriage her husband told her his in
come was 100000 year.

Roosevelt's family she said: 81 never
was on good terms with his family;
far from it."
The trial will be continued to-day.
