President Roosevelt to Act First Will Call Conference of Na* tions at The Hague.

-Strom Mu of Pei la Wfehlottoa.

Ocotleoien of the Interparliamentary Onion—I k.'rvet you with profound pleasure us repreaentatlrea In a special sense of the treat International movement for t>eace and will among the nations of the earth. It Is a matter of grutitioBtlon to all Americans that we have had the honor of receiving you here as the nation's guests- You ore men skilled lu the practical work of government In your several countries, and-this fact adds weight to your championship of the cause of International Justice. I thank you for your kind allusions to what Che government of the United States has accomplished for the policies you have at heart, and 1 assure you that this government's attitude will continue unchanged in reference thereto. We are even now takt Ing steps to secure arbitration treaties with all other governments which are willing to enter Into them with us. In response to your resolutions Shall at an early date ask the other nations to Join In a second congress at The Hague. [Applause.] I feel, am kure you do, that our efforts should take the shape of poshing forward the work already begun at The Hague and that whatever 1s now dooe should appear not as something divergent therefrom. bat as a continuance thereof.

Time to A*vas the Woek.

At the first conference at The Hague several questions were left unsettled, and It was expressly provided that there should be a second conference. A reasonable time has elapsed, and I feel that your body has shown soundJudgment In condodlng that a second conference should now be called to carry some steps further toward completion the work of the first It would be visionary to expect too Immediate success for the great cause you are championing, but very subbtantlal progress can be made if we strive with resolntlon and good sense toward the goal of securing among the nations of the earth, as among the Individuals of each nation, a Just sense of responsibility In each toward others sod a just recognition in each .of the rights of others. The right sad the responsibility must go hand la hand. Our efforts must be unerasing both to secure lu each nation foil -acknowledgment of the rights of others and to bring about

in each nation an -ever growing of its own responsibilities.

At an early data J shall Issue the call for the euofereaee y'ou request [Apple nae] I again .greet you and bid you welcome In the name of the American people and wish you godspeed in your efforts for the common good of

APPEAL TO YOUNQ MEN. f, | AspSaia —. MMt— Yomw Tost Awsbb the Ltvftag sud Bet Araesg the D-di* [Extract from the speech of Hon. James A. Qarfleid dehrersd at OoimUad. O.. Oot U. UK.] Now, fellow ettHena, • word .before I leave you, on the very eve of the holy day of God—a fit moment to eonnocrate ourselves finally to the great work of next Tuesday morning. 1 see In this great audience tonight a great many young men. young men who are about to cast their first vote. I want to git's you a word of suggestion and advice. The other day a boy up In one of the northwestern counties said to me: “General, I have a great mind to vote the Democratic ticket My father Is s Republican, and my brothers arc Republican*, and I am a Republican all over, but I want to be an Independent man, and I don’t want anybody to say, That fellow votes the Republican ticket-Juat because his dad does,* and I have half a mind to vote the Democratic ticket Just to prove my independence.** I did not like the thing the boy ruggested. but I did admire the spirit of the boy that wanted to hare some independence of his own Kow 1 tell yon. young men. don’t rote the Republican ticket Just because your father votes It. Don’t vote the Democratic ticket even If he does i-xtle tt. But let me give you this one word of advice aa you are about to pitch your tent In one of the great political camps. Your life is full and buoyant with hope, now, and, I beg you, when you pitch your tent, pitch It among the living and not among the dead. If you ore at' all IncMoed to pitch It among the Democratic people and with that party, let me go with you for a moment while we survey the ground where I hope you will not shortly lie. It Is a sad place, young man. for you to put your young life into. It la to me far more like a graveyard than like a camp for the living. Oh. young man. come out of that! That Is no place in which to put your young life. Come out. and come over Into this camp of liberty, of law, of order, of Justice, of freedpm, of all that Is glorious under these night stars. Is there any death here In our camp? Ye*'. Yes! Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, the noblest band that ever trod the earth, died to make this camp a camp of glory and of liberty forever. But there are no dead Issues here. There are no dead Ideas here. Hang out our banner from under the blotsky this night-until It shall sweep the green turf from under your feet! It hangs over our camp. Read away up under the stars the Inscription we hare written on it, kJ, these twenty-five

years.

Come down the glorious steps of our banner. Every great record we have made we have vindicated with our blood and with our truth. It sweeps the ground and It touch— the stars. Come there, young man, and put in your life where all is living, and where nothing is dead but tbs been— that

Terrible things were going to rl*'* up out of the island* of the sea and come In upon us and devour us. Mind you.'I wish to God that our government never bad meddled with s single one of the Islands lu those distant seas. But when 1 remember that the treaty of Parts was concluded at the urgent personal solicitation of W. J. Bryan himself It looks to me as If both the parties are committed to the proposition that the holding of the Philippine* was a good thing to do, or at least a necessary evil. Both are committed to It Now, having got them, what are you going to do with them? Roosevelt soys. “We will give them self government whenever they are prepared for tt." That’s the substance of It He doesn't set the time, the place or the manner. Judge Parker In his speech of acceptance says, “When they are ready for self government we win give It to them.” There you've got it • • • Upon Imperialism there is no difference that you can figure out In plain English between the acceptance of Roosevelt and the acceptance of Judge Parker. The Democratic platform declared that, we needed new legislation against the trusts. Judge Parker In his speech of acceptance said: “No, we don't need any new legislation; toe law as tt stands is good enough; all you hove got to do is to carry It out" Against whom! When! And how! Judge Parker upon that subject Is gloriously Indefinite and furnishes no bill of particulars. Therefore on the subject of the trusts^ there Is absolutely no difference tlTat you can state In plain English so that the common man can understand what tt Is.

Roox-vrlt sad Porker. [From fht, Cincinnati Volksblatt] Hoke Smith of Georgia, secretary of the Interior In Cleveland’s admin tatration. has given the dearest state-, ment of the reasons which In the opinion of the Democratic party Justify and require a change of administration. He Is silent about prindplea; not even the tariff, the Inexhaustible theme of Democratic spellbinders, is urged n* necessitating a change; only ^he dangerous personality of Mr. Roosevelt, with which Is contrasted the Judicial calmness -and repose of Mr. Parker. If Mr. Roosevelt Is such a restlds* and disquieting spirit as Mr. Smith chargii It Is strange that he has not communicated the least symptom of uneasiness to the country and to the nation. We find that the people pursue their several business Interests and vocations with the aame feeling of assurance that-prevailed under Mr. McKinley's administration.

-H* Ala*t Bs Dade!” [Julius Chambers In Brooklyn Eagle ] . New stories about President Roosevelt are reaching me by every mall. Edmund Seymour, a banker, told me one today that I believe to be new Is wholly nonpoll Heal. Mr. Seymour Js i Vermont man and tired out In Wyo mlng many years for bis health. Hi* ranch was less than a hundred mile* from that of Mr. Roosevelt, and that tact led to the story. “DM yon ever meet the young ranchman!" i asked. “Yes.” replied Mr. Seymour. T met him once, bnt I never saw'hlm.” “Now. don’t pet funny about tt» matter." I suggested. “WeR. I alept with him one night, and yet I as* ore yon I dM not sw

him."

“Host did that happen r “I rode In from my ranch to the railroad station," replied Seymour. “When I applied at the heart, about 10 o'clock at night, the proprietor told me e 1 bed was filled except one. I could have half of that or sleep on the floor. When I demurred to waking the i who had already gone to bed he said: That’s all right. He understand* that if another man comes be is to abue his bed.* That altered the case, coarse. I was shown op to . the room. Hardly bad I bsgun to undress w a voice asked, *Wb#'s thatr I explained the situation and was told that I elcome.

[From the New York Evening Poet. Parker] In acceding to the request of the interparliamentary union that be in vtte the nation* to a second Hague conference President Roosevelt token a step worthy of oil praise. iqaj be Impossible to reassemble tb<peace congress soon. Russia, and Japan coaM scarcely send representatives at present, and the unsettled questions may not be disposed of even when the delegates do find themselves at The Hague, but'the president bos. at any rate, shown bis hearty good will and by so much officially committed the United States to disapproval of war.

[Prom (ha Lou twine BareUL] The American people have always approved the “Mg stick" when sanely and safely used. It wax to used when Washington drove the British from oar SOU. when Jackson drove the English legions from New Orleans, when Zachary Taylor and Scott heat the Mexicans, when Grant ovsrqame toe forces of disunion and whan McKinley drove the Spaniards from American •oa.

S7A TIME.—Uncertain; but within a sbost time after last lesson. PLACE.—Uncertain; but perhaps on* of the places where was a school of the prophets, either GUgal. Bethel or Jericho. Human Reed and Divine Resources. The Widow and Her Need, (V. L).— What we know of the widow: (1) She was a Godly woman. 1. Tim. 5:5 gives, us a picture of the Godly widow. God holds such In special regard. (I Tlm. 5:3.) And one test of true religion ts ministering to such In their need. (Jas. 1:27.) (2) Was known to Elisha. The faithful. God-fearing Uvea of both h«r husband and herself proved excellent capital on which to do business. Godliness does pay. (I Tim. 4:8). (8) Was In the clutches of the oppressive creditor. Affliction and misfortune are not always a sign of sin or folly. (John 9:1-3.)’ (4) Had two sons who In accordance with the custom of those days acre to be taken to satisfy the debt. (Lev. 25:89. Matt. 18:25.) (6) Her need was urgent "The creditor Is come." The day of trouble Is the day to pray. (Psalm 50:15.)The Prophet and His Help (Ys. 2-4).— Two questions” were asked by the prophet. “Whiff shall I do for thee!" "What hast thou in the bouse?” (1) God always wants os to tell Him onr desires. To tell God what we want, clarifies our vision, and strengthens onr faith. (2) God always uses what we have, belt ever so little, as the medium of blessing. Strange Instructions.—(1) Borrow empty vessels. j(2) Shut herself and her sous In the house. (S) Pour out h« little pot .of oil and perhaps waste tt Surely, here was a test of faith. If the widow hod beep like most people seeking help, she would have had he; own Ideas aa to methods. (1) May not the borrowing of empty vessels suggest the need of greater capacity. We need tabs enlarged for more of God's fullness. (8) May not the shat door and the seclusion, teach us Che need of getting alont with God where His blessing may descend upon na (8) And may not the pouring out of the oil and lt»miraculous Increase typify the multiplying of spiritual gifts and power as we pour out our hearts and our Uvea in behalf of needy souls al about us. The Obedience and Its Reward (Ya 5-7.).—Unwavering faith and implicit obedience mark the conduct of the widow. The empty vessels were borrowed In the face, probably, of curious looks, and prying questions and sneers at ridicule. Th* door eras closed, shutting herself and her tons away from all other earthly help and ovary moment toe knock of the creditor was expected. And what faith! Only the little pot of oil In bond, and toe empty vessels on •vary hand. How seemingly impossible to AH them. Hat the pot of oil and toe empty dishes was not oil ths widow had. She hod tha word of toe prophet And we have toe word of God on which to depend. Let us lay heM of tt as the widow did of tbs prophet's word, which whs really ths word of God spokes through His servant That llttls pot of oil never of oil until
