CHARLES N. CRITTENDEN DEAD.
Well-Known Evangelist and Philan
thropist Dies in the West.
News has been received announcing
the death of Mr. Charles N. Critten
den of New York, who visited Daw
son while doing evangelistic work
and conducted a meeting in the Meth
odist church several days.
Mr. Crittenden died at San Fran
cisco, where he was visiting in the
interest of the Florence Crittenden
Rescue Homes, and the news of his
death will be learned with deep re
gret by many people in Dawson. He
founded the Florence Crittenden Res
cue Homes, and during his life es
tablished seventy-three of them. His
\wm‘k not only extended throughout
‘the United States, but in Japan and
'China as well.
COST JUST $600,000,000.00
That Is What President Taft Says
the United States Has Paid For
Its Philippine Policy.
WASHINGTON.—The -president in
his speech at the missionary conven
tion spoke in part as follows:
“We have taken over in a sense
a receivership for Santo Domingo,
and we are helping out that country
as well as we may, and we are doing
what we can to preserve the peace
between the Central American coun
tries. And there lies back in all the
history of this continent the possi
bilities of a heavy obligation resting
upon us should an explosion take
place and unhappiness and chaos re
sult for any one of the peoples of
this hemisphere.
“Now, that is one step. The Cuba
war illustrated the fact that when
you get into a war you never Know
when vou are coming out. We en
tered it lightly—well, not lightly, but
with a sense of due gravity, and cer
tainly not with a sense of what the
possibilities were, at Key West and
at Santiago, and we brought up 10,-
000 miles away at Manila. And then
we had to take over that government
and we still have it.
“Ilt has cost us a good deal of
money. 1 had a democrat to ask me
the other day how much I thought |
it cost, ‘right down between us, now,’
he said. Well, I explained to him
that the war department a(-mumsl
\showed that as far as the army was
concerned down to 1902 it has cost
\us about $170,000,000, and that the
further cost depends upon how you
lregarded the army. If you thought
that we could get along with fifteen
lor twenty thousand men less than
‘we now have then the whole cost of
‘the army ought to be imposed as a
:part of our foreign policy, which
{would make from twenty-five to thir
ty cmillions a Yyemr, But if you
thought that we ought to have the
army of the size that it is now, and
that it could be made useful in many
ways, then it has cost us by reason
of our Philippine policy upward of
$600,000,000.”
