Washington, Jan. 2S.-Speaker Heu-
derson has put his foot on pending
legislation to more permanently estab-
lish the gold standard at the present
session of Congress. The rivalry be-
tween the committees of the House to
reap credit for inaugurating such leg
islation brought the matter to head
Saturday.
The Hill bill, providing for the ex-
changeabilty of gold with silver, was
reported from the committee on coin
age, weights and measures several
days ago The committee on banking
and currency reported the Overstreet
bill today. containing, with change
of verbiage, the same provisions as the
Hill bill. Chairman Southard of the
committee on coinage introduced res
olution providing for the consideration
of the Hill bill. This resolution was
referred to the committee on rules, of
which Speaker Henderson is chairman.
Mr.. Henderson told Mr.. Southard
that before his resolution would be con-
sidered by the committee he must first
bring the assurance of certain senator's
that the bill would be allowed consider
alton in the Senate, if the House passed
it. Mr. SOuthard made canvass of the
Senate Immediately and found that
''tOO much legislation was already on
foot was the general sentiment.
Two Democrats. briggs Of New York
and Thayer Of Massachusetts, voted
with the Republicans in favor of the
Overstreet bill, which is as follows:

Rome, Jan. 2S.-The Pope's encyclical
on socialism was issued Saturday. 1t
is dated January 18th, and says dis
tinction must be carefully drawn be-
tween socialism and the movement
among Catholics reviewed in his prevf-
Gus encyclicals on the socialistic sub
ject. and which was called Christian
Democracy.
The Pope commences with recalling
his two previous encyclicals on social
questions. and says that the sequel of
these encyclicals was that the Catholics
devoted all their activity to social works
to help the working classes. The pom
tiff here reviews all that has been done
in this direction-the foundation of Ia
Dor bureaus, funds established for the
benefit of the rural classes and work
ingmen's associations of all kinds He
considers the appellatiOn christian so
cialism" incorrect. and says Catholics
who occupy themselves with social
questions are sometimes also called
"Christan democrats" But even this
title is attacked by some people rs be-
ing ill-sOunding. Divergences have
arisen therefrom and the Pope ardently
desires to eliminate them.
The careful distinction must be
drawn between socialism and Christian
democracy. The first concerns itself
solely with material possessions. al
ways seeking to establish perfect
equality and a common holding of
goods. Christian democracy. on the
contrary. respects the principles of di-
vine law. and while seeking material
amelioratiOns. has in view the spiritual
welfare of the people. Christian dem

the son became penniless Then it was
that the rich girl whom he had form

Unknown to any one. she gave the

the youthful husband obtained employ

the fact that wealthy men are on the
lookout for wealthy husbands for their

There is probably no other cycle rid

and Johnnie Lake, now team mates.
Pickard rides in the races, trains his
men, attends to the motors. and builds
training quarters or cycle tracks with
equal facility. In his position he at
tends to everything, from cutting down
motor frame to wiring a motorcycle
complete. or building new bicycle. He
rides the motor, either on the front or
rear seat. He knows the cycle and
the motor tandem, as he knows every
thing else. thoroughly. His work was
responsible for much Of the success OF
Nelson during the past season, for he
attends to every detail, and allows
nothing to go undone. Many have called
Nelson lucky in winning several hard
races, forgetting that it was the fact
that second motor was always kept
ready and waiting to pick him up, or
that second wheel was always nn-
der the hands of this trainer, and ready
to be rushed to him at any point
around the track. In five races Mel

contests. His extra wheel was not In

That was not good luck certainly. The
extra motor for Nelson was not on the

track, and at all times the riders were
watching Pickard for a signal, under
instructions from him. The fact that

to represent a chemical element-iron,
sodium or some other ingredient Of
which the sun Is composed. But
prisms did not seem to divide light
finely enough to suit the astronomers,
so they went to work and made some
thing better. Upon a plate OF metal
they scratched an infinite number of
invisible lines-scratched them in q
marvellous machine. which they invent
cd for the purpose, 10000 Of them to
single inch-and called the metal
plate a "diffraction grating" With
this instrument and a long series Of
calculations and experiments they were
able to arrive at very correct ideas Of
the suns chemistry. and later they
found that the light OF star could be
taken to pieces in the same way. 1t
was great discovery and the astrono-
mers took deal Of pride in it. But,

same principle for ages. The countless
changing tints Of an oyster shell were
SO beautiful of themselves that most
people had been content to enjoy them
without seeking their cause. But ev-
erything has a cause-usually q most
interesting one-and the iridescent
mother of pearl resembled the astron-
omers' diffraction grating so closely
that they decided to look into the mat

obtains its color by dissecting white
sunlight In its own peculiar fashion
and when the oyster shell was not un-

was made up OF thousands Of minute

until the principles set forth in the bills here

ject are enacted into law.
In my Judgment the time has arrived when
we should definitely make up our minds to rec
ognlze the Indian as an individual and not
member OF tribe. The general allotment
act is a mighty pulverizing engine to break up
the tribal mass. 1t acts directly upon the fam

stop should be put upon the indiscriminate
permission to Indians to lease their allotments.
The effort should be steadily to make the In
dian work like any other man on his own
ground. The marriage laws OF the Indians
should be made the same those OF the
whites.
In the schools the education should be ele-
mentary and largely industrial. The need OF
higher education among the Indians Is very.
very limited On the reservations care should
be taken to try to suit the teaching to the
needs Of the particular Indian. There Is no
use in attempting to induce agriculture in
country suited only for cattle raising, where
the Indian should be made a stock grower.
The ration system, which is merely the corral
and the reservation system is highly detrimen-
tai to the Indians. 1t promotes beggary per-
petuates pauperism and stiles Industry. 1t is
an effectual barrier to progress It must con-
tinue to greater less degree as long as
tribes are herded reservations and have
everything in common. The Indian should be
treated individual-like the white man.
During the change Of treatment inevitable
hardships will occur; every effort should be
made to minimize these hardships; but
should not because Of them hesitate TO make
the change. There should be continuous re-
duction in the number of agencies.
In dealing with the aboriginal races few
things are more important than to preserve
them from the terrible physical and moral
degradation resulting fKom the liquor traffic.

Action should be taken in reference to the
militia and to the raising of volunteer forces.
Our militia law is obsolete and worthless. The
organization and armament of the National
Guard of the several States. which are treated
as militia in the appropriations by the Congress,
should be made identical with those provided
for the regular forces. The obligations and
duties of the guard in time of war should be
carefully defined and system established by
law under which the method Of procedure of
raising volunteer forces should be prescribed
In advance. 1t is utterly impossible IN the
excitement and haste of impending to do
this satisfactorily if the arrangements have
not been made long beforehand. Provision
should be made for utilizing in the first vol
unteer organizations called out the training of
those citizens who have already had experience
under arms, and especially for the selection in
advance of the officers of any force which may
be raised: for careful selection of the kind
necessary Is impossible after the outbreak of
war.
That the army is not at all a mere instru-
ment of destruction has been shown during the
last three years In the Philippines, Cuba and
Porto Rico it has proved itself a great con-
structive force, a most potent implement for
tn, upbuilding of peaceful civilization.
No other citizens deserve well of the re-
public the veterans the survivors of those
who saved the Union. They did the one deed
which If left undone would have meant that
all else in history went for nothing. But
for their steadfast prowess in the greatest
crisis of our history all our annals would be
meaningless and great experiment in pop
ular freedom and Self-gOVeTnment a gloomy
failure. Moreover, they not only left us a
united nation, but they left also as a her
itage the memory of the mighty deeds by
which the nation was kept united. We are
indeed nation, IN fact well
as in name; we are united in devotion to
the flag which is the symbol of national great
ness and unity; and the very completeness of
our union enables US all, in every part Of the
country, to glory in the valor shown alike by
the sons of the North and the of the
South in the times that tried mems souls.
The men who in the last three years have
done so we'll in the East and the West Indies
and on the mainland of Asia have shown that
this remembrance is not lost. In any serious
crisis the United States must rely for the
great mass of it's fighting men upon the vol
unteer soldery who do not make a permanent
profession of the military career; and when
ever such crisis arises the deathless memo
ries of the Civil War will give to Americans
the lift of lofty purpose which comes to those
whose fathers have stood valiantly in the
forefront of the battle.
