The doctrine of evolution, and
the severe veracity of scientific
reasoning, is reaching into every
department of thought. Religion,
through its influence, is expunging
superstition and tradition, and
finding that it can root itself in
the reason and nature of things.
Philosophy, casting off the yoke of
speculation, has swept into its
grasp all the new sciences to help
it discover the unifying principle
in the world. History and litera-
ture, through the scientific spirit
of investigation, spread us a wider,
truer page than ever before.

One of the few really meritori-
Gus measures before the House is
that to compel one-quarter of all
the money expended in roads to be
for improvements of permanent
character. This bill is worthy of
the most careful consideration of
every member, and'especially those
from the outside counties. Too
much money has been expended
in work on roads without the least
idea of permanency. Had def
mite plan of ultimate permanency
been followed from the first Cole
RADIO would now have much better
roads than those which exist.

1t is claimed that both France
and Germany are closely watching
the course of events in the Philip
pines with the hope that the Uni
ted States will tire of the game.
Germany, it is stated, is willing
to take up and finish what this
country has tried TO do. Though
the exact disposition of the Philip
pines is by no means determined
yet, it is simply waste of time on
the part of France or Germany to
suppose that the American people
will ever abandon a contingency
which so deeply involves their
pride. Whatever else is decided,
congress is certain to find some
way to govern territory not in the
Union, or to bring it within the
pale of American influence, and
Germany, and all other nations,
can conclude that destiny did not
intend the Philippines for any of
them.

A business career in this life has
distinct and great advantage over
the professions or specialties. The
business man is usually solid and
level-headed; his education is of
the general world, and he is con-
stantly on the alert to take advan-
tage of every opportunity. The
profession tends to dwarf the in
dividual and crush originality and
individuality. 1t does not give a
man the symmetrical, full-rounded
development that business career
does.

Previous to the Paris exposi-
ton, American art, on the whole,
was held to be mediocre and unwor-
thy of serious consideration. How
ever, the American exhibit at the
exposition changed this feeling of
Indifference and patronizing toler-
alton to admiration. 1t was adj
mitted on all sides that the pro-
duct of our own artists was much
superior to that of exhibitors uf
any other foreign country. With
the new century begins new era
for American art-an era of recoe-
milton and appreciation.

AN EXTRA SESSION NECES-
SARY.

Will there be an extra session of
the Fifty-Seventh Congress? That
is the question of the hour in
Washington. Although there are
still some doubters, the conditions
all seem to point toward an extra
session, regardless of the effort
that is now being made to force
the Ship Subsidy bill through the
Senate. AS a matter of fact, it is
doubtful whether that measure is a
factor either way. 1t is Philip
pine and Cuban affairs that is
seemingly making an extra ses-
sion inevitable. The plea of the
Philippine Commission for legis-
lation authorizing a form of civil
government for the islands is be-
ing supplemented by daily appeals
from great business interests, not
only in the islands but in this
country and in several European
countries. In addition to this, is
the question of dealing with Cuba.
For several months Cuban con-
vention has been at work making
a constitution, and its work is ex-
pected to be completed before the
adjournment of this session of
Congress, but there will be no
time for Congress to act on that
Constitution, as it must do before
it can become effective. If the
Cubans get their Constitution to
Washington by, say the first of
March, it would hardly be fair to
make them wait until the regular
session of Congress met, next De
cember, to find out whether it will
be acceptable to Congress. There
are other important matters, in
Guiding the Nicaragua Canal,
which ought to be legislated upon
by Congress and which have no
show at this session. All these
things add to the probability that
a spring extra session will be
called.

1t is encouraging to note the

ems. The art of Forestry has been

The Beers wonderful courage

Yesterday the nation celebrated
with love and enthusiasm the hum
dredth anniversary of John Mar
shall's elevation to the supreme
judiciary. His life was the EN-
bodiment of success. The fame
he gained was not alone due to
learning or ambition, but to the
exercise of honesty as well. His
great career was founded upon the
truthful, logical process of his
mind. Where others groped and
spun fine theories, Marshall
grasped and understood the vital
truths.
