ROOSEVELT'S
REFORM WAR
TO CONTINUE
President Urges Educators to
Teach Children to Fight Cor
ruption Everywhere
"They Waste Time Who Ask Me
to Withhold My Hand,"
He Says
Country Sound, but That Is No
Excuse to Let Evil
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.— That
there will be no letup in the Roose
velt policy of warring "against rot
tenness and corruption" was em
phatically . declared by the president
today in an address to the delegates
to the department of; superintendents
of the National education association
during their reception at the White
House. * Continuing, . the president
gave his views on educational-meth
ods at considerable length and- with
characteristic catholicity of thought
and vigor of expression.
V'lt. is idle for , any man ,tr» talk of
despairing -'of the future of this coun
try or feeling, unduly alarmed; about
it If .he' will' come in contact with you
here and with the educational .forces
that you represent," said the president.
"Fundamentally this country is 'sound,
morally no less than physically.
Fundamentally in its family life and
in the outside activities of its individ
uals the country is better and not
worse than it formerly was.
- "This does not mean' that we are to
be excused if we fail to war against
rottenness and- corruption, if we fail
to contend effectively with the forces
of evil, and they waste their time who
ask me to withhold .my \u25a0 hand from
dealing therewith. But it. is worth
while to smite the wrong for- the. very
rV&son /that we. are confident that the
fight' 'wiH -ultimately prevail. : "'^'.
"You' who! are traipingvthe;next;gen
eration ; are training this country as ' it
is' to be a 'decade , or two hence, ;\ arid
while your work .In straining .the s Intel
lect is great, it is x not as- great as.your
work in training. character... More" than
anything else I want to see the public
school turn out the boy and - glrl ; who,
when man. and woman, jwill add to the
sum of good 1 citizenship of-the nation.
"One thing that I would have you
teach your pupils Is that whether you
call the money gained salary or wages
does not make any real difference; and
that -If, .by working hard by your hands,'
you get more : than if you work with
your head only, it; does r not atone for
it to call the. smaller amount salary.
The term 'dignity of laborl implies that
manual labor is as dignified as mental
labor;, as, of .course,- it Is. . Indeed, the
highest kind of labor is that which
makes demands upon; the, qualities „ of
both head and hand, of heart,' brain and
body..' . ~. . : . .; \u25a0- ; • • ,
"Physical prowess and physical ad
dress are. necessities. .'They stand on a
level' with intellect and" only, below
character- Let us show, that we regard
the position of the man who; works with
his hands as being ordinarily and in
good faith as important 'and dignified
and as worthy of consideration a^a that
of the'businessman'or professional man.
We need to have a certain' readjustment
of values in this country, which must
primarily come through the efforts of
Just you men and women here and. the
men .and women 'like you throughout
this land." -

Chief Witness
OAKLAND, Feb. 26.— "Baby
John," Mrs. Isabella J. Martin's aid
in perpetrating crimes against life and
property, was brought back from
WeaverviHe today in the custody of
Detective St. Clair Hodgkins and W.
H. Donahue, assistant district attor
ney. The party, which included Dis
trict Attorney E. J. Hall of Trinity,
left WeaverviHe at 6 o'clock yesterday
morning _ and arrived this morning
aftdr. having consumed more than 2?
hours on the' journey, 52 miles of
which, were, made by stage to Redding'
over .a frozen, country road badly
drifted with snow.
'j ; An /hour . after reaching Oakland
'"Bab^John" proved that part of his
confession : relating to the cache of
explosives In Do Fremery park. He
went. to the. park with Detective Cap
,tata Petersen. Police. Captain Lynch .
and* Detective 'Hodgkins and there unr
covered a box of giant powder suffi
cient to destroy a large buildlngv This
dynamite, the boy explained, w»5; to
' have been used by him under the or
ders of Mrs./ Martin in destroying the
life and home of a certain Alameda
county Jurist whose name is hidden by
the police department, bnt who un
doubtedly was associated a* some Urn©
with litigation , affecting Mrs. Martin
and her attempts to wring a fortune
from the first available source.
FIXD EXPLOSIVE IX SACK
The cache of explosives was found
hidden beneath the bush which the
boy said on the stand at WeaverviHe
! had "fuzzy leaves which left white
down on my coat antj sleeves when I
1 scrambled away from the' place." The
bush, which is shown in the accom
panying picture. Is situated* on the
west side of De Fremery park, about
190 feet -from the line of Eighteenth
street. So thick are 'the leaves and so
low hanging the branches that even
a raore'than casual- observer would fail
to notice any' foreign object lying be
neath them. .
When. the boy arrived at the park he
walked directly to the bush, asked
permission to do so and then crawled
carefully beneath its thick fuzzy
leaves. Almost on top of the ground.
.covered only by a sprinkling of spider
webs and dirt. he. carefully 'drew forth
the cache, which was wrapped in »
'burlap, sack, aa was the former cache
found 'at the Martin property in West
street. . . -
Dragging .th» sack and its weighty
contents out into /the" open "Baby
John" tjuickly revealed what it held.
The potential portion of the" package
consisted of an. oblong- box. , inside of
which were 30 sticks* of slant, powder.
