ROOSEVELT ORATOR At Syracuse, N. Y., on Occasion Labor Day Celebration. Reviewed Monster Parade and Afterward Delivered Speech Before an Audience of Fifty Thousand People. President Roosevelt went to Syracuse, N. Y., Monday to speak to organized labor. He was accorded a magnificent reception by the citizens of his own state. From the moment of his arrival at 9:30 o'clock a.m., until he stepped aboard his special train at 10:30 at night, to begin his return trip to Oyster Bay, he was given a continual ovation. Fully one hundred thousand persons from all sections of New York state tested the carrying capacity of the various lines of railroads and many additional thousands came from the country immediately contiguous to the city. Everywhere in the city, and at the grounds of the New York State Fair Association, the president was received with notable enthusiasm. In his address the president said in part: "Side by side with the increase in the prosperity of the wage-worker and the tiller of the soil has gone on a great increase in the prosperity among the business men and among certain classes of professional, men; and the prosperity of these men has been partly the cause and partly the consequence of the prosperity of farmer and wage-worker. It cannot be too often repeated that in this country, in the long run, we all of us tend to go up or down together. If the average of well-being is high, it means that the average wage-worker, the average business man are all alike well off. If the average shrinks there is not one of these classes which will, not feel the shrinkage. "It is all-essential to the continuance of our healthy national life that we should recognize this community of interest among our people. The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us, and, therefore, in public life that man is the best representative of each of us who seeks to do good to each by doing good to all; in other words, whose endeavor it is, not to represent any special class and promote merely that class' selfish interests, but to represent all true and honest men of all sections and all classes and to work for their interest by working for our common country. "We can keep our government on a sane and healthy basis, can make and keep our social system what it should be only on condition of judging each man, not as a member of a class, but on his worth as a man. "It is an infamous thing in our American life, and fundamentally treacherous to our institutions, to apply to any man any test save that of his personal worth, or to draw between two sets of men any distinction save the distinction of conduct, the distinction that marks off those who do well and wisely from those who do ill and foolishly. "There are good citizens and bad citizens in every class, as in every locality, and the attitude of decent people toward great public and social questions should be determined, not by the accidental questions of employment or locality, but by those deepest principles which represent the innermost souls of men." "The failure in public and in private life thus to treat each man on his own merits, the recognition of this government as being either for the poor as such or for the rich as such, would prove fatal to our republic, as such recognition has always proved fatal in the past to other republics. "Legislation to be permanently good for any class must also be good for the nation as a whole, and legislation which does injustice to any class is certain to work harm to the nation. Take our currency system for example. This nation is on a gold basis. The treasury of the public is in excellent condition. Never before has the per capita circulation been as large as it is today; and this circulation, moreover, is of money every dollar of which is at par with gold. Now, our having this sound currency system is of benefit to banks, of course, but it is of infinitely morg benefit to the people as a whole, because of the healthy effect on business conditions. "There is no room in our healthy American life for the mere idler, for the man or woman whose object it is throughout life to shirk the duties which life ought to bring. Life can mean nothing worth meaning, unless its prime aim is the doing of duty, the achievement of results worth achieving. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY.

COTTON SHORTAGE Cuts Great Hole in Pockets of Farmers in Many States. RESULT OF DRY WEATHER Unfavorable Reports as to Crop in Georgia, Alabama and Texas are Made Known-Million Bates Hon. George W. Truitt, well known largest farmer of Troup county, Ga., who is also known throughout the south as an authority on matters agricultural, estimates that the recent, severe drought throughout the cotton belt has cut a million bales from the south's cotton crop. According to Mr. Truitt's estimate, the dry weather days have cost the farmers of the south $50,000,000, calculating that the staple will bring $50 per bale during the entire season, which is quite a conservative figure at the present prices. According to the weekly weather and crop bulletin issued by Section director J. B. Marbury, for Georgia, the cotton crop is in a critical condition. The crop is about one month late and the cotton continues to open, shed and rust rapidly; picking is becoming general in the southern and middle sections. The weather conditions during the past week have been detrimental to all crops, cotton being an especial sufferer. Decrease in Alabama. Alabama's commissioner of agriculture, R. R. Poole, stated Tuesday that the cotton crop has deteriorated 25 per cent in the cotton belt of the state within the past two weeks. "The hot weather, the foll and army worm are injuring the crop and will cut it short," said the commissioner. "I predict that the next report will show a worse average condition of the crop than we have had for years." Texas Shy Million Bales. According to The New York Commercial, unless there is an organized effort on the part of press correspondents all over the state of Texas to falsify concerning existing conditions in their different localities, the ravages of the boll weevil in that state have been underestimated rather than overestimated by the reports that have been sent out before this time, and the condition of the Texas cotton crop is very bad. It is evident from the tone of the telegrams from Texas and the crop information published in the newspapers of that state that the Texas idea of what this year's crop will be is very different from the idea of a great many northern cotton men. In New York there is plenty of talk about a 4,000,000-bale crop for Texas, and the figure is very seldom placed below 3,500,000 bales, while in Texas, where it is fair to be presumed the situation is better understood than it is in New York, a man receives newspaper notoriety as an optimist of the most pronounced type if he estimates the crop at 3,000,000 bales. In forty-two reports from different Texas cotton centers only three or four are indicative of as large a crop this year as there, was last. About two-thirds of the telegrams tell of the ravages of boll weevil and other pests; a number of them say the crop in certain sections has been ruined, and from every place comes the report that the crop is unusually late. Allowing for the fact that some correspondents may have somewhat aggerated the conditions existing detrimental to a good crop, the reports from all over the Texas cotton belt are undoubtedly in the main very accurate, and the condition they show is certainly not a favorable one. INVESTIGATING AT MONASTIR. Military Attaches of Powers Probe Affairs of Disturbed Districts. $ ^{a}$ A dispatch to a London news agency from Constantinople says that military attaches of Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, France and Russia have arrived at Monastir and will commence an investigation into the situation in all the disturbed districts of European Turkey. SECOND WARNING BY JELKS. Alabama Governor Acts Vigilant Watch Dog Over State Treasury, Governor Jelks, of Alabama, Tuesday afternoon sent to the legislature another message again calling the attention of its members to large appropriation bills. This makes the second request of the governor. The message is quite lengthy and goes into the details of the finances of the state. The governor acknowledges that the prosperity of the state at this time is unparalleled in its history, but says that it would be detrimental to the state to draw too heavily upon the treasury. GOMPERS SCORES PARRY. Labor Leader Pays His Compliments to Head of Manufacturers' Association in Scathing Terms. President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, in his labor day address to 15,000 persons Monday afternoon at the fair grounds in Indianapolis, spoke in part: "I ask every thoughtful man and woman within the sound of my voice, I ask any one who may perhaps have the opportunity of reading what I may say this afternoon, how can a workman, an individual workman, act upon his own initiative, and from his own volition? Where can he act as an individual to try and secure improvement in his condition, much less protection against a great corporation?" "Some say the workingmen lose their individuality when they join a union of labor. In truth, the workingman has lost his individuality just as soon as he enters one of our great modern industrial plants. "The old idea, even among the business men, that competition is the life of industry is no longer held as an economical tenet; it is no longer believed and declared by men who know the trend of events in the development of industry. They realize that competition is today the death of the trader. "A strike is nothing more nor less than a disagreement between the employer and his workmen about continuing industry upon an old agreement. And strikes are diminishing in numbers in spite of what our opponents say. We stand for arbitration and we pin our faith to it." President Gompers then turned his attention to D. M. Parry, president of the National Manufacturers' Association, and devoted the remainder of his address to Mr. Parry's opposition. He said Mr. Parry had constituted himself the savior of society and civilization. His references to Mr. Parry were from the standpoint of ridicule. Said he in closing: "A strike may bring about strife and discord, but as soon as it is done, better feelings are engendered and mutual respect is brought about. I don't think I would care to have a strike in Dr. Parry's factory, but I don't believe it would be an unmixed evil, for he might learn the lesson that Mr. Baer has learned—that there is something to arbitrate, to discuss, to concede. From what I can learn the wages paid by Mr. Parry are less than any fair establishment in the same line of business in the whole country. "Organized labor has feeling against Mr. Parry. It has no designs against his life, his children or the safety of his property. He is as safe from labor as is President Roosevelt. "I have never yet challenged Mr. Parry to joint debate, but I say I will challenge him to a debate on the labor question and the labor movement. I challenge him to submit the report that he prepared for the last convention at New Orleans to the next convention of the Manufacturers' Association and ask the convention to indora all he said in that report. He knows that the National Manufacturers' Association will not be committed to such unjustifiable and unreasonable attack on organized labor." Secret Alliance Said to Have Been Formed by and Between Them Formed by and Between Them. A special from Pekin states that the much moted secret convention between China and Russia has been executed, but this is not officially confirmed. The Pekin correspondent of a Toklo, Japan, newspaper, wires that concerning the opening of Manchuria, the United States minister, Mr. Conger, has made a strong argument, to which Prince Ching has replied in a note. The prince's message says that If China assents to the opening at this time Russia will make that action a pretext to continue the occupation of Manchuria after October 10. President Shaffer "Unearthed." Theodore A. Shaffer, president of the Amalgamated Association of Iron Worekrks, who has been missing from his home in Pittsburgh, surprised the labor unions of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Monday, by appearing at the Labor day celebration. FOR PHILIPPINE SCHOOLS. New Education Measure Provides $72,000 for First Year's Expenses. A Manila special says: The new education bill has just become a law. It appropriates the sum of $72,000 to cover the expenses, of the first year. It further provides that one hundred of the best qualified students, securing at least 75 per cent on each subject at-an annual examination, shall have the privilege of going to the United States to complete their education at institutions designated by the governor. GRISIS IN ORIENT Turkey Prepares to Swoop Down Upon Little Bulgaria. AN ULTIMATUM PROBABLE Lives of Foreigners in Constantinople In Great Peril and Situation is Grave—Horrors in Balkan- States Continue. A dispatch to The Tageblatt (Berlin) from Constantinople, dated Saturday, says: "War with Bulgaria is in sight. The council of war has recommended sending an immediate ultimatum to Bulgaria, but the sultan has decided to wait. It is rumored that Turkish troops have already crossed the Bulgarian frontier without a declaration of war. "The members of the council of war were up all last night at the Tildiz Kiosk and Edhelm Pasha as commander in chief. "The Turkish press is printing inflammatory articles against Bulgaria." The Turkish government, according to information received from the foreign office in Berlin by the Associated Press, has notified the powers that the porte cannot guarantee the safety of the legations at Constantinople. This extraordinary statement was communicated, without explanation or qualifying details, in response to an inquiry as to whether German marines were among those United States Minister Leischman reported as having been landed at Constantinople. It is inferred, however, that the conditions at the Turkish capital are not so grave as the sultan's ontification would imply, but that the legations have been warned to look out for their own safety, the porte disclaiming 'in advance responsibility for any disorderly act. The porte's inability to take energetic hold of the Macedonian insurrection is the worse feature of the situation. Powers Forced to Act. A London special says: So threatening is the Macedonian situation that the powers are being forced to take action sooner than it had heretofore believed would be necessary. Before adopting any definite scheme for the pacification of the Balkans it was intended to wait until the czar's visit to Vienna, when the matter was to be discussed fully with Emperor Francis Joseph, but it is learner a recent exchange of views has brought the powers to a stage where decision is about to be reached regarding the character of the intervention which should be adopted. While the proposed plans are not divulged; it is authoritatively denied that the intervention contemplates the occupation of Macedonia by Austria and Russia. It is equally certain that the powers have no intention of acting so as to in any way encourage Bulgaria to declare war. Atrocities on the Increase. Advices from Sofia under Sunday's date state that the Autonomye publishes the names of fifty villages burned by the Turks in the following districts: Resen, thirty villages; Kostur, fourteen; Krushevo, sfx, and one monastery. The Turks burned four villages in the district of Strushkopolis and murdered the priest. The population fled to the mountains. The Turks have destroyed all the flour mills in the district of Resen and also every church. Reports have reached the revolutionary headquarters in Sofia of atrocities by the Turks in the village of Vilokostf, in the district of Debre. The troops and bashi bazouks are said to have surrounded the villages and part of them entered and began plundering the houses and assaulting the women. The other soldiers remained outside and killed those inhabitants who tried to escape. The Turks then set fire to the village in four places, burning twelve women and children. One child was hanged. Allogether sixty peasants were killed and their bodies were left lying in the streets. BECKHAM OPENS CAMPAIGN. Immense Crowd Gathers at Winchester, Ky., to Witness Event. A crowd estimated at from seven to ten thousand was present at the opening of the democratic state campaign at Winchester, Ky., Saturday. Speeches were made by Governor Beckham, Senators McCreary and Blackburn and Congressman Ollie James. Several brass bands discoursed music, and special trains from Cincinnati, Louisville, Lexington and other places-carried large delegations. Thousands of gallons of burgoo were dispensed. SUNDAY RIOT IN BEIRUT* Admiral Cotton Says He Is Prepared to Land Force of Marines When ever Situation Warrants. Cablegrams were received at the state and navy departments Tuesday from Minister Leischman at Constantinople and Admiral Cotton, commanding the American, squadron now in Turkish waters, respectively, giving an account of a riot which occurred at Belrut Sunday. It was stated at the navy department that no new instructions had gone to Admiral Cotton in consequence of the report. Instructions sent to Minister Lelschman, however, contemplate that he keep the state department constantly informed as to the situation, that the department may know to what extent protection is being afforded American citizens. The president was advised of the facts reported. Rear Admiral Cotton's cablegram is dated Beirut, September 7, and is as follows: "Violence and bloodshed 'between Mohammedans and native Christians occurred at Beirut Sunday. Six Greek Christians, three Mohammedans and three Turkish soldiers wounded seriously. Other murders reported. Flag lieutenant and the United States consul were present Sunday and Monday in the disturbed quarters and verify details of statement. Turkish government willingly afforded facility for their investigation and guard; promise one thousand more Turkish soldiers. Turkish soldiers present sufficient, if properly disposed of, to handle situation at Beirut. Well patrolled and all quiet Sunday night and today, Monday. Turkish governor promises to do all in his power to restore authority. Many houses closed and business suspended. I have prepared to land force for protection of property of American citizens if situation demands. Will act with caution. Present trouble due to animosity between Moslems and native Christians and failure to control crimes." GRAFTERS ARE GRIPPED. Grand Jury at Washington, Probing Postoffice Department Scandal, Return Seven Indictments. After deliberating for several weeks over a mass of documents submitted by the postoffice inspectors the federal grand jury in Washington returned seven indictments in postal cases, involving six different persons. All the indictments were kept off the public records and both the officials of the district attorney's offices and of the postoffice department refused to discuss names or details of the indictments until the parties indicted are arrested. The identity of the indicted individuals thus was left a matter of conjecture. It is expected that arrests will occur tomorrow and that the postoffice department will have some announcement to make during the forenoon. The grand jury action probably marks the beginning of the end of the investigations that have been in progress since the middle of last March. Voluminous evidence has been laid before the grand jury as the result of the inquiry, and while the present report of the jury disposes of most of the cases, there yet remain several cases to be passed upon. When the latter are disposed of, according to Postmaster General Payne, the investigation so far as the work at Washington is concerned, will be at an end. Several of the persons indicted live outside of Washington. Postmaster General Payne, and Fourth Assistant Bristow received word of the grand jury's action shortly after that body reported, and subsequently they had a long conference on the subject. Both officials refused to divulge details pending official notification of arrests. Two other important events occurred during the day. Leopold Stern, the Baltimore contractor who disappeared from Baltimore before he could be arrested on an indictment, returned July 31 last, was located at Toronto, Canada, and the long-delayed surrender of George W. Beavers, the former head of the salary and allowance division, to the New York authorities took place. Soper Admits 'Working Great Graft in Indian Territory' The department of justice, at Washington, has received from Pilny Soper, United States attorney for the northern district of Indian Territory, an answer to the allegations which have been made against him, to the effect that he has been interested in leasing and releasing Indian lands, etc. The department has ordered still another special agent into that territory, and will investigate Mr. Soper's statements. It also will make an investigation of other federal officers of the four districts of the territory. . _ - : “The Savannah Tribune. Posie Evrex Satvepar, BY THR TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO ‘116 W.

If each of those men were tax-payers, there would be several more thousand dollars go toward the education of the thousands of unfortunate boys and girls who are unable to secure school accommodation.

"The Charleston News and Couri- ap" makes the same point in discussing the President's letter to Governor Darbin, say- ing that if he and his party are really ‘anx- ious to suppress lynching and avert the pa- tional demoralization end degredation it causes, they will, give attention to the -one plan which promises résulle—“the plan of separating the two races by the width of the sea.” “Such counsels only make the situation worseby withdrawing attention from real remedies for present conditfons, To tell Iynchers that the remedy for lynching rests in he far off consummation of a practical im sibility is to give them plenary permis- Flos for indefinite iadulgente of rlothan pas ‘sions. ‘The problem of civilization in this country is to make possible the orderly and prosperous mubistencn init ofits present in habitants. ‘The prescription of laws or éustoms suitable for a pure white community and the insistence on conforming the com- munity to the prescription, instead of mak ing a prescription more suited to the exist- ing trouble, is worthy of the physician who didnot understand typhoid, but was death on fits and thought he could effect a cure if he could only throw his typhoid patients in- tofits, Now, whether we like the disease we have to cure or not, our task is to deal with two races, not with ons.

All birds live in more or less close relation to the earth, but some are pecullarly associated with it, or depend upon it more especially for certain re- quirements. Not the least interesting of these are the burrowing owls. These, unlike their tree or tower-haunting rel- atives, make their home underground, digging their tunnels together, and Jay- ing their eggs at the farther end. Here In the darkness the little owlets are hatched, and here they are fed on fat grasshoppers and mice until they are ablé to climb up and look upon the world for themselves. It 1s curious that these owls, which of all their fam- {ly would seem to have the best prac- tice In the dark, are not nocturnal, but dig their burrows, catch their food and do their courting in broad daylight. Ostriches may be mentioned as types of birds which have found {t so good for them to spend their life In running that they are without the power of Might, andsare ngyer able to rise above the ground—“winged creatures” of the earth, not the “air.” ‘The bird which 1s preeminently of the earth earthly lives inthe far antip odes—Australia and the Philippine Isl- ‘ands, It is the megapode, or mound ‘builder, and has the curfous habit of burying its eggs in the ground or in a mound of leaves‘and dirt, leaving them ‘—reptilelike—to hatch from the heat generated in the pile of decaying vege- ‘tation, It is thought that the parents never see thelr offspring, which are fully feathered when they leave the egg and able to dig out and fly at onc». This unusual development at birth is made possible by the great amount of nourishing yolk in the eggs, which aro very large in proportion to the size of the bird.

Of course, this is not collected in one year, but it {s a great undertaking for birds no larger than our common grouse.

Captain Jim has a tank all to him: self at the Aquarium, and although all the people are warned not to go too near him, none of them follow the warning. He is one of those quiet sea lions which rolls about in a lazy way fust as though he did not know that he was alive. He has two small black eyes. which he keeps half closed, and you would think to look at him that he never saw anything or took any notice of ¢he persons who constantly pass his tank. . There 1s no danger of him splashing anybody, eays the* boys with the new suits. The girls with the now hats and the new dresses laugh at the {dea of Captain Jim belng impolite, and they gather in groups about him.

THE LITTLE PINK MAGNOLIA. There was quite a stir in tae first botany class, as Fred Stapleton camo in from the country, on Monday morn- Ing, with 2 pink magnolia in his hand, ‘The Stapletons owned a big plastatfon just out of town, and Fred rode in om horseback every day. The botany class crowded about him. At recess the botany teacher took up the matter, and the principal and his assistants discussed the strange phe nomenon behind closed doors. ‘The magnolia was as much a native of thls Southern town as the peopla themselves, but never before bad a pink one made its appearance. Tho news of it spread to all quarters, and curious visitors stopped at the school- house. Fred was called from bis class: vs a dozen times that day to tell of his find, and this quiet, urassuming little chap ran the risk of becoming quite a Hon through the fame of the pink mag- nolia, “Is this the first pink one?” asked the botany teacher. “Yes, sir, all the others are white, and there's nothing, strange’ about tho tree,” answered Fred. : ‘J's a remarkable freak of nature, 1 shall take the class to your house on Saturday afternoon; this may prove a valuable discovery. If you,find any more, Fred, be sure and bring them ta school.” ‘The daily paper made quite an {tend of the pink magnolia. Fred begged them not to mention where it camo trom, as their place would be besieged, and if there should happen to be,any | more such valuable specimens they, would certainly be stolen. So the arti: clo merely stated that: -, 4A wonderful and rare magnolia has been discovered on a plantation near the city.” Then followed a vivid de scription, ‘When the botany class went out in the country to investigate there was, unfortunately, not one to be'seen. Fred, however, had brought a couple of buds the day before; so the interest was keen enough to hold them, clusteréd around the famous tree, studying i¢ root and branch, and jotting down notes and figures In quite a botanical way. Just then Mr.’ Stapleton camo riding up the road.

So I proceeded towork,and after a half hour of the hardest sort of work and breaking my strongest for- ceps, I managed to pull the aching mo- lar."

This fellow bebaved worse than an fofant of fire years, and I was about, to tell him to consult an- other dentist when he plteously begged me to complete the Job, as ho liad been refused by many dentists to do the work, . “Of course, I Sinished the job, though before I got through I had turned the edges of fifteen or twenty drills.

Such a‘bablt is one of the greatest dissiga- tors of ments power, and the ina who allows himself to-become its viethn {s foredoomed to failure. ‘A young man who starts out to micceed must resolve firmly that be wilt not become a prey to indecision, that he will suffer the consequences of mis+ talfes rather than be forever digging up matters de novo.

VS Se ee Se Se Se under another. > . In answering our correspondent’s very interesting question, therefore, we niust first state what's meant by “fittest” and what fs meant by “best.” By “fittest” we mean that which Js best able to adapt iteelf to its environ ment. Perhaps it would do to define “best” as that which will contribute inost to the advancement of the race. Let us take a few conerete MMlustrations, which will show how the survival of the fittest sometimes ciuses thé best to-go under. Very often in the intense competition af business, the most unscrupulons man wins out, ‘Though he shows his fitness by winning the fight, surely he $3 hot the best competitor who could have won. ‘Sometimes the man who adulterates bts goods can sell them at a lower Sgure than the man who is ‘telling the genuine, pure article, He may succeed in driving the honest dealer out of business. His survival shows his ituees, but docs not indicate that he was the best who could have survived. ‘The man who weaves cotton in with his wool can manufacture his cloth cheaper and ‘by mlsrepresentation sell {t for “all wool.” Being able to under- ‘sell the manufacturer of the real article, he may beat him out. Judging success by ordinary standards, thore men who have shown thelr ‘greatest fitness by the degree of thelr success are of the Rockefeller and. Mor- gon type. These are far from represehting our dest types of citizenship. In a state of nature, where no artificial conditions exist, the survival of the fittest generally doos mean the survival of the best. But, in a state of. cfviliza- thon, such as.we live in, with {fs conventions, usages, restraints and inequalltles of wealth, social position and opportunity, ft may mean something very dif- ferent. Our present system tends to let the fittest survive, but the fittest are often those who demand least. Now the man who demands least Js the one who has the fewest necessities, and-he fs usually the least highly organized and there- fore the lowest type. ‘Another faise notion which seems very prevolent 1s, that the survival of the fittest dmplies the killing off of a lot of people. This does not follow from the law at all. : ‘Though the estabiishment of the principle of-the survival of the fittest may appear as something which 1s purely theoretical and abstract, it has very practiéal applications. . We learn at least two things from It. =~ “2” . | One 4s that our alm in all legislative and other acts should be to try to make conditions such that the majority are fittest. ‘The second fs, that we ehould strive so ta organize soclety in future that the fittest who survive are the best, . ¢, those most desirable to society.—New York American. is aes Motives of “Settlement” By Ellen Burns Sherman.

CORRESPONDENT asks, “Is the survival of the fittest always the survisal of the best?” No, it fs not, At times, the survival of the fittest means the survival of the very worst.
