manv whose consuls and CONNER
cial agents were men of parts, OF
fine address and good manners,
speaking readily the language OF
the country. Representative Doug
lass, of New York, has introduced
a bill to create a Commissioner OF
Consuls and to reorganize the Con-
sular service of the United States.
Bv the terms of the bill the Com
missioner is to serve under the Sec
retary of State and is to report
yearly to Congress. 1t also pro-
vides for the complete reorganlza-
ton of the Consular service. Inc
President, who has lived much
abroad and who speaks French and
German and possibly Dutch, is
much interested in having Ameri-
can Consuls as fully accomplished
as those of any other country.
The Panama canal bill has been
another casus belli between the
House and Senate. The Senate
maiestically ignored the fact that
Mr.. Man of the House had pre-
sented a bill which was passed and
had gone to the Senate. The latter
body ordered the preparation OF a
bill of its own on the same subject
by Senator Kittredge. Many mem
hers of the House are offended at
this usurpation of the Senate for
here again the right of origination
of a bill involving revenue, a con
stitutional right belonging to the
House is ignored by the Senate.
The bill as passed by the House
places the government of the canal
zone in the President until March
the fourth, 1907, or the end OF the
next Congress. providing that the
government shall protect the in
habitants in their liberties, property
and religion. It abolishes the old
commission and leaves the work OF
construction and the appointment
of the managers entirely in the
hands of the President. 1t does not
undertake to say whether there
shall be a lock level or a sea level
canal. This too, it is presumed, is
left for the decision of the Admin
istration.

WASHINGTON LETTER.


The statue of Frances Willard,
the Gift of the State of Illinois to
the United States, is in its place in
Statuary Hall of the Capitol. Right
beside it stands the statue OF
George Washington, whose statue
was moved a few inches to make
room for that of Miss Willard. This
is the first statue of woman to be
erected in the Capitol and the un-
dertaking has been the enterprise OF
women from beginning to end. The
inspiration came from a woman,
the legislation was promoted by
women, they secured the apprOpria-
ton of So, 900 from the State, and
the sculptor is also a woman.
Women from all parts of the coun-
trv we're present at the unveiling
and yet there is probably not
man in Congress who is not appre-
ciative of the justice in having the
statue placed among those OF our
greatest men.
The Presidents message accom-
panying the Santo Domingo pro-
tocol it is understood has made a
very favorable impression upon the
Senate and it will doubtless be well
received by the country at large.
The idea that the Monroe Doctrine
imposes other duties upon the
United States than those of mere
defense from aggression as relating
to the petty republics of this hemis-
phere is so patent and so just that
! it need only be mentioned to be ap-
proved. 1t is expected that the
Senate will confirm the protocol
il not at this session then at the
called session Immediately after the
Fourth of March. The tension be-
tween the Senate and the President,
it is thought has been very much
exaggerated. AS has been said OF
the President he does not wear his
heart on his sleeve but he wears
his mind OH his sleeve. Anybody
can know what he thinks about
anything. In fact the only way
they can avoid knowing it is to
keep out of earshot. His words in
his letter to Senator Cullom when
he sent the treaty to Ethe Senate
were: "The Senate has of course
the right to reject or to amend II
any way it sees fit any treaty laid
before it and it is clearly the duty
of the Senate to take any step which
in the exercise of its best judgment
it seems to be for the interest of the
nation. Those words will stanC
forever as a refutation of the 'asser
: ton that the President attempted
to usurp the treaty making power

THERE was change in the vote
for United States Senator last Fri
day that was not unexpected by
the Union Republicans. Senator
Pennewill led the breakawaYs from
the stalwart Union Republican
ranks and with Senator Lingo and
Representatives Lingo and Vanden-
burg, they voted for T. Coleman
dupont. Mr.. Benson voted for II.
A. Richardson and Mr.. Lyons voted
for formor Secretary of State Caleb
R. Layton 1t is possible that there
are two or three more who will take
a Ayer from the regular line and
vote for some one of their choice
other than Mr.. Addicks; but the
situation now looks like dead
lock. There could be several COM
plications arise to cause the cleo
ton of a Senator before adjourn
ment, but they are rather remote.
One could be the possible defec-
ton of sufficient Union Republi-
cans to the Regulars, to elect Col.
Henry A. DUPONT, which would be-
come very obnoxious to Willard
Salisbury for personal reasons
and rather than see dupont sit
ting in the U. S. Senate, as the
leader or the Democrats, he would
possibly prefer to see J. Edward
Addicks have the place, and deliver
sufficient votes to turn the trick
this is a possibility but hardly a
probability as it is not likely there
will be a detection wide enough in
the stalwart Republican ranks to

make this necessary. A deadlock
until two years hence is more
likely.

Rev. Luther d. Malone Makes Ap-
peal For Public Support For Superin-
tendent and Teachers of Public Schools

To the mind of a layman the sermon
Of Rev. Lyman J. Trumbull at the
Baptist church was one eminently suit
ed TO the occasion, and there were more
than one present who saw in the union
meeting of the Congregations OF the
Methodist and Baptist Churches
the hearing of the time when
each of the great religious denomina-
tions of the world will cease to be mere
tributaries. but shall, in fulfillment of
the prophets vision, be united one and
all into a great onrushing resistless

force and volume as it rolls onward to
its ultimate distinaton-the evangeliga.
tion of the world.
The subject of Mr.. Trumball's dis
course The River That Grows As 1t
Flows" was taken from Ez. 40 in
which is described the vission of a
prophet. who sees a life giving river of
water, having no tributaries, yet as it
flowed from its hidden source within the
sanctuary, eastward past the alter and
on through the desert and into the
Dead Sea, continually grew in force and
volume.
In a splendid word picture it was
shown that by this river, of the vision,
was meant the Gospel of Christ. The
Supreme Being representing the source,
was hidden from sight by the church.
The river flowed on past the cross and
into the desert places and the Dead Sea
OF humanity, and giving life wherever
it flowed to noble characters, unselfish,
helpful lives and to souls dead in Sin it
gives life that never dies.

England, too, by the rising demand Of

of the misery, ignorance and sullen dis
content has been moved toward the goal
