This thought was apparent when Governor Garst spoke of tho expenditure of 12.000.ooo a year on the schools and the desirability of expending It to better advantage.

The following Is the text of the address delivered by Governor Garst upon being sworn In aa chief executive of the slate yesterday: Gentlemen of the Joint Convention: In laying down the gavel today, I close a fifteen year service in the legislative halls of the state, and I beg your Indulgence for a few remarks which It seema to me are appropriate to the occa-alon.

In that fifteen yeara much of permanent and Inestimable value has been placed upon the statute bcoka by you and your predecessors. It has been an era large with the things making for the uplifting of our people and the upbuilding cf our beloved commonwealth. Thla occasion does little more than mark another mile on the way. 1 am sure that thnae of you who continue In the work and others who follow will meet the larger opportunities and greater responsibilities with patriotism and wisdom. While not unmindful of the great work done by those who preceded you.

including very much that Is of endurlna helpfulness to the state brought to a successful conclusion by some of the most capable and high minded men that have erved the people. I still fee! that there Is due you special praise for that which ou have accomplished. A Remarkable Record.

Among the many eubjerte which might appropriately claim my attention at this time I shall mention but one other. The, conservation of our natural resources will be prominent In the discussions of the future. They have been so abundant, and apparently so exhaustlesa, that we have consumed them without a thought tmrwiv.rl.nmir I III. I WV ourselves.

States has no more sacred duty than to give back to the ceopie in some degree the trees that it has squandered upon avaricious speculators. The strength of our soli must be preserved, and If he who tills It is not willing to so use It that It mav go down to future generations still fruitful and productive, then the government must direct him In his energies.

Our water powers must be developed, for thus only can the life of our coei depeslts be lengethened. I must not. however, detain you further. It seems to me that the years, of the past, brilliant as they have been, were only periods of preparation for the present. We shall need all the virtue and all the strength that we can draw from our forefathers to equip us for the Iti.

I can only aguin promise you that one motive, ana one only, shall Inspire me an abiding sense of the responsibility I undertake, and a whole hearted desire to serve the people to whom I must account.

BENEDICT WRITES IT FIRST Addresses Envelope) to "Senator" A. R. Cummins. To Chief Clerk Rush Benedict of the house of representatives belongs the honor of addressing the first letter to "Senator A. B.

Cummins." Yesterday afternoon Mr. Benedict returned to the new senator the manuscripts of his address yesterday morning. He addressed the envelope to "Senator A. B. Cummins." "Man Is As Old As His Stomach" This Persian Epigram 6 the Eeal Oauga of a Mani Life.

The Persians were a very sagacious people, noted, among other things, for their deep thinking on Ufa and the things which make up life. The above epigram shows the wisdom of their thought. When a man's stomach Is sble to furnish new material to the system as fast or faster than the natural decay of man requires, then such a man lives his fullest and his best. When through wrong living or disease a man's stomach begins to tax the other organs and takes from the blood strength which It cannot give back in nourishment taken from food, then begins the death of man and he decays fast. The stomach Is strong, splendidly strong, and can stand an untold amount of abuse and neglect, but when It dies, man dies.

The stomach gives tons upon tons of good rich blood every ysar to tha system and draws only (SO lbs. of nourishment for its own use. If. however, the food which It receives cannot be turned Into blood which Is capable of use by the body, then the stomach receives no help from the other organs. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain the most perfect digestive qualities known to science snd at the same time the most powerful.

They will mix with the poisonous Juices of a sick stomach and digest food In spite of this handicap. They will stop gas making and bad breath. They tone up the nerves of the whole digestive canal. Including those of tha stomacli. A single Ingredient contains strength enough to digest ,000 times its weight in mixed food.

The effort of the audience to secure another encore was energetically pursued, but was brought to a close by Senator Smith's gavel. He remarked, however, that he was not surprised by the enthusiasm of the audience. Later Senator GUlilland suggested that the record should show that Mrs. Shank's songs had taken the legislature bv storm and President Smith offered the suggestion as a motion of thanks to her for her music. The record will show that appreciation.

Thli duty extended to legislation anecting an the activities of the people. You have had the rare experience of meeting together after your work has been at least in part given a practical test. Tha material prosperity of the people has been greatly enhanced and the health of the peopr preserved by the enactment of the pure food law. It is perhaps one of the unfortunate things that fien who take advanced positions In this and other remedial and reform 1 ('delation meet with temporary disfavor on the part of those who are the real beneficiaries. This should not In any way discourage you, for unless you are willing to meet conditions of this kind you would be but little less than time servers, a charge that In no sense applies to you as Individuals or as a bodv.

It Is only a question of time when th Importance of your work will be recognlied and appreciated. I am one of those who believe that In enacting the Indeterminate sentence law our state has started in In the right direction. In loosening the bonds of cruel environment, opportunity has been given manv an unfortunate person to return to useful cltlsenshlp. The experience of most clvfllxed countries Is that punishment should, as far as possible, be eliminated, but that everything possible should be done along reformatory lines. The conclusions of your commission appointed to investigate this great subject seem to me to afford ample Justification for the law plated upon the statute books.

There can be- no reasonable doubt as to the wisdom of the appropriations made by you and your predecessors for the betterment of our educational institutions. No one. I am sure, ran question your good Judgment In making such magnlfi-ment provision for the agricultural college. It seems to be the consensus of opinions that the material Interests of the state have been advanced each year manv times the amount appropriated. In addition to this, the cltiienslilp of the state has, for the present and for all time, been greatly elevated.

I think no one who has the good of the state at heart will question your wisdom la providing for a greater university, an Institution that is turning out yearly a great numher of voting people whose presence in the different sections of the state often act as a veritable benediction, with expenditures of something like twelve million dollars for our common school svstem, nothing can be more essential than a well equipped normal school. If I am not In error, history will accord to this legislature great credit for what It has done to harmonixe our political methods with our Ideals and the Ideals of the founders of the republic. W'hat you have done has, In a large measure, I sincerely hope, removed forever some of the pernicious Influences that surrounded your predecessors. While In many fifteen years I have never known of a well authenticated case of legislative wrong doing on the part of men entrusted with the sacred responsibilities of making the laws of the state. I still feel that you have made It easier for those who follow to serve with fidelity the Interests of the people as a whole.

It Is not too much to say that our constituents associate with tnls general assembly more often than anything else the passage of the primary bill. No legislation since the organisation of the state has vindicated itself more quickly nor more completely than this. The action of the Joint assembly todav Is perhaps the most complete vindication of the law. It has been, it seems to me. In the hearts snd minds of the people for a long time that they should select their representatives In the senate of the United Stnfes.

In accepting the mandate of the voters of Iowa you have today come Just as near to this as it Is possible under the federal constitution. Your successors will no doubt find some features of the law that will need slight amendment, hat the principle of the law has been. I hope, placed Indelibly on the statute books of the state. You are the representatives of one of the greatest people on this big earth. It Is no wonder you have had Just pride In serving them and that you rejoice in the material prosperity of their state.

Beautiful land, especially favored by an all-wise Creator, homeofahappv and sturdy people. Intelligently represented In executive. Judicial and legislative halls since the state's organization Successors Have Duties. The Important work before you has been well done. You entered courageously Into the spirit of the time the purpose to make our public life and our political methods square with the eternal principles of right and Justice.

Your successors will have a great task, for which I have no doubt they will prove competent, that of keeping abreast of the movement atarted by you and your Immediate predecessors. Among you are who have been associated with me during all the years of my public service. I appreciate these old time friends. There are still others among you of shorter acquaintanceship, but there Is not one so far as I know for whom I do not have the kindliest feelings. In fact, you will agree with me that the only compensation for men occupying the exalted position you do Is, first, duty well done, and secondly, lasting friendships made.

I am, to a large degree, the beneficiary of the latter. Your action today has placed upon me a new responsibility and dute, though It be but for a short time.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. The following statement was given out ot the White house today: "As the New York Sun story entitled "Roosevelt and Prairie OH" has seemed to deceive a number of people, the following statement is made public about It: "As soon as the story was brought to President Roosevelt's attention he not only called for reports concerning the statement from the department of Justice and the department of the interior, hut also communicated with ex-Secretary Hitchcock so as to be sure that tha president's recollection was not St fault. The story la false In every particular from beginning to end.

Not only Is there no such reports In the department of Justice, and never has been, but no such report was ever made. In granting the franchise of the Prairie Oil company the president simply approved the recommendation of' Secretary Hitchcock submitted to him precisely as all other recommendations were submitted. Moreover, In every case referring to the granting of franchises or the adoption of regulations as regards oil and gas franchises In Oklahoma and the Indian territory, the president approved the recommendation of Secretary Hitchcock, with the exception of one small and unimportant grant to a Delaware Indian to whom the lielaware Indians In recognition of eight years of aervlce to the tribe, had voted In council a fee of $5. not), which he declined to accept, and who was given the usual amount of the lamf.

Finally the coroner decided upon a rigid Investigation. Or. Albert Hamilton, a gunshot expert, testified that the dead man could not have fired the shot which killed him. It came out at the Inouest that Sampson, on the Saturday before his death, had discovered a letter written to his wife by a man outside of the family, which had been the cause of a bitter fluarrel. The name of the man from whom Mrs.

Pampson received the letter which aroused Sampson's Jealousy was not re-ealed at the Inaulry. APPLAUD THE EMPEROR Great Demonstration By Industrial I'nlon in Berlin. BERLIN, Nov.

"That Is the Important thing; It Is a victory for the people. The defeat of Governor Cummins would have been hailed In the nation as a warrant for reaction. This la a great day for the people."

I am grateful to the voters of the republican party who nominated me tor senator In the congress of the I'nlted States, and I am grntefu to the republican members of the general assemblv who have, with unanimity, elected me to that high office. Speaking to that host of loyal, steadfast friends, both within and without this body who have for so many years strengthened and sustained me, I have sought in vain some formula of words that would express the profound emotions of a heart that Is overflowing with the memories of unparalleled devotion.

To thank you adequately or sufficiently la utterly Impossible, and I must content myself with the expression of the hope that I may be able, in the days to come, to vindicate. In some small measure, the generous confidence which you have so lavishly bestsvyed upon me. To you who are before me, and to them who are beyond the sound of trtv voice. I pledge all the strength I hsve In the effort to he worthy of the trust you have been willing to give Into my keeping. No 111 Will for Any.

I am sure you will believe me when I say that there Is no tinge of III will In my mind by reason of this natural, and. indeed, necessary difference of opinion.

This somewhat personal phase of the occasion would not be complete without a word to the men of the democratic party with whom I have been associated In public affairs.

I cannot leave the office 1 have held for nearly seven years without thanking them most heartily for tholr unvarying kindness to me. and for their patriotic and efficient assistance in the legislation that has been adopted In this period of alresa and storm. To them, with like pleasure. I record a promise which shall be sacredly kept. I will hold the welfare of my country and my state high above every other consideration, and will follow truth and Justice as they appear to me, wherever they may lead the way.

A Strong Tarty Man. The suggestion Just made moves me to a further reflection upon party allegiance and fidelity. I am a party man; and In so declaring I do not disparage the unattached reformer. He may be of great value. He may be, often is, capable ot high aervlre to his fellow men.

He may, and often does, stir the conscience, arouse activity and purify Ideals. But to create, to construct, to substitute honest and effecient civic regulation for unjust or Ineffective laws, require co-operation, not spasmodic or Intermittent, but fairly permanent and reasonably continuous. Co-operation In affairs which pertain to the government means political organizations and political arganizatlon is a synonym for political parties. They are. therefore, the necessary Instruments of government, and he who desires to accomplish anything must act and ally himself with that party which, taken altogether, will give to his country the wisest law and the most abundant and enduring moral and material prosperity.

As you all know, I am. In political fntth. a republican. I believe in the essential principles of that party, and I shall do my utmost to carry them Into effect, for thus, and thus only, as I view my duty, can I promote the welfare of all the people. I beg to Illustrate my meaning.

I am deeply convinced of the Injustice and the wisdom of the economic evstem which Imposes protective duties upon Imports, and with my voice and vote In the senate of the United States. I shall do everything in my power to preserve It. Preserve Protective Policy. To me. this established policy of the republican party means duties upon competitive products high enough to fully protect the American producer In his home market against the unfair rhalrv of other countries, but upon the other hand, low enough to insure to the American consumer a fair American price.

I am in absolute harmony with the definition announced In the most recent national republican platform. I stand, as you all know, for a revision of the tariff srhedules: an honest revision, keeping the promise to the hope as well as to the ear; a revision tested by the standard declared In the platform; and what little Influence I may have will be exerted to fulfill the pledge upon which the coming administration was entrusted with political power. I recognize, however, that but eom-Partlvely few of the problems whl-h confront congress are partisan In their character, and upon all questions which He above or beyond party lines. I hold mvself according to my Judgment of the puhHe needs. Without In the iiKNKwi aegree disparaging the wonderful work done In each decade of the century and a half which nmHiniir our national life, yielding to the men of former times the extreme tribute th.t can he rendered to patriotic greatnesi, I think It m-iv ade immediately before us will be W.

I am equally opposed to rash experiment and Indifferent Inaction. Step bv step carefully hut resolutely taken we must move forward. We cannot expect to see from the beginning every consequence that may follow change, and if we pause until all possibility of error be win pause forever. You have a right, to know what my general course will be upon this subject, and. re, serving to myself the privilege of changing my mind whenever I am convinced that I have been wrong, I say to you that I will do what 1 ran.

first to prevent the overcapitalization of all corporations over which congress has jurisdiction; second, to guarantee to every corporation and individual as well, the right to use our transportation facilities upon- the same terms, under substantially like conditions; third, to make more stringent still the laws which are directed against the attempt to establish a monopoly. I have long believed that eventually there must be a limitation upon the amount of capital which any corporation Is permitted to employ, carefully graduated according to the business in which It Is engaged. I thoroughly favor the enlargement of any enterprise so that the maximum of economy can be attained, but beyond that limit the growth of a corporation becomes a distinct menace to the country, without any advantage to legitimate capital. You have heard so frequently my opinions respecting the regulation of public corporations that it is not necessary for me to repeat them at this time. We must all unite In the effort to see that they are given a chance to earn a fair return upon the value of the property used to render the service required but we must be equally diligent to see that they are not allowed to earn more.

While the amount of the charge made by these companies, and especially the transportation companies, must be kept carefully in mind, It Is still more Important to give heed to the distribution of their charges. We have already made giant strides toward the abolition of discrimination for or against individual patrons, but the discrimination practiced for and alnst localities still continues with unabated Injustice. I fear that the power conferred upon the Interstate commerce commission in this respect will not accomplish the purpose for which it waa given, and it will be well to turn our thought in another direction. I believe.
