GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS.

and fine vocal and instrumental music

More than a place to work in, tools TO
work with and materials to work up, is
the workman himself. The place may
be poor one, the tools scanty and rude,
the materials unpromising, yet work

work may have more to show for 1t in

respect better equipped, but who having
no clear and earnest aim is satisfied with

My cup runneth Over.--Psalm xiii ).
1t is very sad commentary that so
often the reYerseS of life-especially that
greatest of all sorrows. the loss of loved
ones-drive from rather than draw To-
ward God. Many have actually been
spiritually wrecked from such a vista.

fest sad and bitter complaint. and an
accompanying distrust of God, the Faith

thus blighted; and all the more so when
the larger view discloses the defective,
ness of their attitude
Quite different was the effect of Gods
dealings upon Job of old, who very de
family and enthusiastically exclaimed
Though He Stay me. yet will | trust
Him." Like spirited was Paul, when he
declared that neither height nor depth

able to separate me from the love OF
God" Such voices are rare to-day and
the sentiment therein expressed seems
almost foreign to the present, though il
cannot be denied that there are souls in
this age as large in faith as any of Bible
record. When it is faithfully compre
hended that sorrow, even of the deepest
character, has its accompanying joy
then will the ultimate effect be Godwartl.
When we remember that each must drink
his cup of sorrow-even to the last bitter
drop-the light will begin to come How
often do we pray as Christ did, Father,
remove this cup from me" But what
avail is that prayer? Naught. We must
drink the potion. But we must remem-

TAFT ON GUERRILLAs.
He Says the Present Warfare Against
American Authority In Philippines Is =
Crime Against Civilization.

Washington; Feb. s.-Gov. Taft
Tuesday continued his narrative be-
fore the senate committee on the
Philippines. concerning conditions in
the Philippine archipelago.
Speaking of the military policy in
the Philippines Gov. Taft said: 1.-The
war has been all over in these islands
and that which remains is a crime
against civilization. 1t is also a crime
against the Filipino people to keep
up a state of war under the circum=
stances. They have worn out the
right to any treatment but that which
is severe and within the laws of war -
Gov. Taft also said that the great ma
jority of the people of the islands de-
sire peace and the insurrectionists
were by their acts preventing the
mass Of the people from settling down
and earning quiet living. Instead
of being allowed to do this they were
kept under a system of terrorism,
which should be stopped.

Senate VIII Amend the War Revenue Bill

Washington, Feb. Sit is under
stood to be the purpose of the SEN
ate to amend the war tax bill so that
the brewers will be relieved of but 80
cents tax instead of 60, the remaining
war rate above 81. On this question
the president is interested. He sent
for Chairman Payne and Representa-
tive Grosvenor to call their attention
to the extreme risk which a total
abolition of the war taxes would place
the majority in should the canal bill,
ship subsidy, irrigation, rivers and
harbors, and, lastly, Cuban reciprocity
bills, be passed.. The revenues would
not be sufficient to carry these meas
ures into fulfllment, and without re-
gard to whether any or all of them
might become laws, the president adj
vised the representatives named that
the reduction on beer should be ex-
empted from the rest of the war
taxes and not be made complete.

begun by the previous body into the
charges of bribery in connection with

bench of the ST. Louis circuit court,

part:
The work and report of the last grand
jury revealed appalling conditions touch
ing bribery of public officials. These
revelations indicate that men in high po-
sitions in the social life and commercial
activities of this community have, in
their endeavor to secure public fran
chises for private gain, not hesitated to
bride members of the municipal assembly
to betray the public interests and well
fare they were elected to protect. No

sentatives. 1t is a menace to our civic

Gov. TAFT Tells How Differences Between
Himself and Gen. Chafree at Manila
We're Adjusted.

Washington, Feb. Elm his state
ment before the senate committee on
the Philippines Wednesday, Gov. Taft
dealt especially with the question of
the relationship of the civil and mill

In this connection Gov. Taft explained
at some length the contention be-
tween the commission and Gen. Chat
fee which had, he said, arisen over
the habeas corpus provision in the
commissions code. The question had
been referred to Washington with the
result that instructions had come
back that the differences might be

Gov. Taft said that he had never
met a Filipino who was not a must
clan and he added: "Ali Filipino
crowds are we'll behaved and polite.
and the people are courteous. The
Filipino also shows capacity for
skilled labor, but he is negligent OF
machinery. I wish it were true that
the Filipino Is as Industrious as is
claimed, but he is not. Indeed, there
are many of them who might secure
work who do not seek it. This con-
dition leads to a demand for the
bringing in of Chinese
Replying to other questions, Gov.
Taft stated that in the islands there
are about 100000 acres of land held
by private persons, and that of this
403,00 acres are owned by the Catho-
lie friars. Of these 100000 acres $780,
900 are the best lands in the islands.
AS to the honesty of the native
Filipino, Gov. Taft said that many
exaggerated and extreme pictures
had been drawn. That some are dis
honest and others dodble=faced was
true, but that ali present these char
acteristics was not true.
