The Prayers for the Late Pres
Ident

The religious papers are again
battling with the question as to the
import and effect of prayer. 1t is
notorious that the prayers Of
churches and of thousands Of Chris
uans at home have been offered for
the recovery Of the late president;
and to what end1 The whole out
come OF the discussion rs that pray
er is answered as truly by withhold
ing as by granting the thing asked
for. This leads TO tho essential
conclusion that the office of prayer
is a spiritual rather than a physical
one, and that It's value in this case,
as in others, is the mere exSltation
and oncensu Of spiritual purpose,
all Christian prayer resting on the
saying Of designations "NeyeTthe-
less, not my will, but thine, be
DONE
There is nov not 10 violent = de-
uuEeiation of the skeptiesl yiew of
prayer as affecting only the one who
prays as there was when Tyudsll
proposed the prayer test, a quarter
century ago. It was then regarded
as the extreme Of blaSphemy TO hold
that prayer could have no influence
on conditions fixed by natural Laws,
and that certain eauSes must have
certain effects, however earnest and
fun OF faith in the divine power the
petitions TO the contrary may be,
This is nov practically recognized,

News Notes From the capital
Perhaps abe most interesting as
well as the most puzzling question
before the president today is that
OF the proposed irans- Pacific cable.
Il has been considered Of sufficient
Importance to practically monopo-
lize the last session Of the cabinet.
Il has plunged the attorney.gener-
al into a thorough investigation Of
the rights OF the United States
government IN the matter Of land
ing telegraph lines al any point in
the Philippines, Before the treaty
OF Paris, spain had granted exclu-
sive privileges to a European COM
.pany. 1t is commended by some
that through the treaty America
ratified all existing contracts be-
tween Spain and other parties con-
corning surrendered territory.
Atty Gen. Knox will prepare for
Pres, Roosevelt an opinion on this
phase Of the question and until il
has been received and considered
by the chief magistrate and his
cabinet ministers, no definite pol
icy would lee oltlined.
As the contract between the
Spanish government AID the Euro
peaa company involving exclusive
cable rights IN the archipelago
covers a period oitorty years and,

run, the International problem rails.

A Peep senate chamber

thes Senate. heart hutterings
and misgivings.
We slipped quietly in and gliding in
to an obscure corner as quickly as
possible, breathlessly listened to the
words of wisdom that welled from
these oracles of the law.
The text book bill, as passed by
the house, was the topic under dis
cussion. We heard some very fine
and entertaining speeches made on
the various phases of this bill. II
was discussed from every standpoint
and very ably discussed. Our pres
ent text books were held up to the
dirision of the senate and a very few
of their many errors and inconsist-
encies pointed out.
The feeling in the senate seemed
to be that we had a very inferior
and inaccurate set of books and that
they must be changed at all hazards.
Not only is the mechanical work on
them of the very commonest kind
but the material is cheap and the
subject matter vicious.
Many amendments were proposed
to the house bill, some vital and
others of less Importance. The
point that brought out the hottest
debate was the amendment cutting
out the maximum price provision.
This provision was generally and
fully discussed and it was finally de-
cided that the price should be left
with the commission and that they
should be authorized to contract for
the books they thought best for the
state schools at the best possible
price,
We stand chance to get great
ly improved set of text books for
the state and also a chance to pay
trust prices for them. We were
struck during the discussion of this
bill by the want of knowledge of the
subject as displayed so plainly by
many of the senators. 1t does look
like bill of the Importance of this
one should have earnest and careful
study of every senator, but when we
remember the many hundreds OF
bills introduced and the short time
the members have in session it is
impossible for them to read every
bill to say nothing about giving them
careful consideration.
We believe there should be a
short session of the legislature in
December in which all bills should
be introduced and assigned to the
proper committees and no new bills
considered in the regular session.
Then the members should receive
not less than FIVE dollars per day and
about one hundred and fifty of the
useless employees and hangers-o on
should be dispensed with. We like
the Kansas senate pretty well, It is
composed of bright, wide awake,
intelligent set of men. We cant
say that we are much stuck on the
house. They may be just as bright
but they did not treat US right. We
called on them and they locked US
up during a roll call and made u'
lose our supper and almost miss oul
train; naturally we were studying
