SONGS AND SPEECHES
NOTABLE EXERCISES FOR SCHOOL
CHILDREN AT CHICAGO.
Inspiring Address by Henry s. Prit.
chett of Boston--Interest at Boston
and Other Cities.

CHICAGO, February 22.-Washington's
birthday was commemorated by exercises
for the school children under the'auspices
OF the Union League Club and by meet
ing OF the general public In Orchestra
Hail. which was crowded. The orator OF
the day was Henry S. Pritchett of Boston
president of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology. His subject was. Shall
Politics Be a Profession or Business ?'
He said in part:
Let me urge upon your consideration
today the Importance and the dignity in
a democracy of the profession of poll
tics. If the problems of the state are the
problems of the whole people. then he
who sets himself to the study of these
problems is a servant of the whole peo-
pie, and his profession is one to be ex-
allied, not brought into contempt; to be
respected as the noblest, not despised as
the most unworthy.
Our Political System
IF our political system is such as to
make the choice of good men difficult. let
us change that system; if 1t offers no
opening to the poor but ambitious and
unselfsh man. let us make it possible for
such man to make an honest living in the
us insist that the men who go into this
calling shall become masters IL their pro-
fession.
LET us decline to give high .ce to him
whose political leadership de- .ds on APP
peals to the emotions, and wno will not
learn 4 D discipline his own tongue and his
own temper. That man who cannot dis
cipine his own speech. who cannot discuss
public questions without the sting OF per-
sonal suspicion and bitter words. Is unsuited
for the high profession OF politics. A sus-
picOus heart and a clear heart cannot re-
main long in the same human body.
Make Politics Honorable.
1.-The presence of ole will soon make the
other impossible. Let US make the profess
sion of politics honorable, so high, so re-
spected that it will appeal TO the wisest and
to the ablest Of our citizens. If we do this
we may hope to go forward into the future
under the leadership of men who work In
the spirit of Washington and of Lincoln.
THE American people, looking back over
the years when they have followed ineffi-
cient leaders through the wilderness of
bloodshed and sectional strife. may well
demand in the future a leadership which
shall have courage, honesty, moral purpose
and. Joined with all these, a capacity for
clear thinking which shall make these great
qualities effective. For. after all. neither
courage nor honesty nor moral purpose con-
stitutes wisdom: not sentiment, but sense,
is the supreme endowment of political lead
ership for which the nation seeks

the duties have not been paid. they will
be a charge against the bank which re-

TERMS INADEQUATE,
Russia's Rumored Peace Proposal
Criticised at London

LONDON, February 22.-The terms on
which Russia is reported to be prepared to
conclude peace are regarded in official
circles in London as inadequate and largely
in the nature of a trial balloon. Among the
British officials the hope of a speedy cessa-
ton of hostilities is mostly based on official
advices telling of the increasing ascendancy
and activity of the peace party in Russia.
1t is known that Count Benken1orff the
Russian ambassador to Great Britain, is an
acherent of this party, and it is under
stood that he did all possible to impress his
views on his government during his recent
stay at St. Petersburg.

FEELING AT BERLIN.
officials Have Been Aware Of Cars
Wavering Mind.

BERLIN, February 22.-That the Russian
emperor has actually determined to seek
peace does not appear to be known here
officially, but this court has been aware
that the emperor's mind has been waverng
between peace and continuance of tie
war.
What Emperor Nicholas has so far decid-
ed to do seems to be to request of France
to ask the British foreign office to inquire
of Japan what terms might be expected
were Russia to propose peace; that Is to
say, the preliminary steps are to be taken
by the seconds.
Russia will thus be able to refuse to open
negotiations if Japans terms are exor-
bitant. Az

HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE.
No More Meetings to Be Held This
Session.

The House committee on the District of
Columbia will hold no more meetings this
session. Speaker Cannon has sent word
around to the various committees of the
House that there is already enough bust
ness before the House to keep the ma
chinery moving briskly until March 4, and
that no more new bills will be considered
under any circumstances. n consequence,
the regular Thursday meeting of the COM
mittee has been abandoned. There are
still many measures before the House com
mittee which in consequence cannot be
acted upon at this session. The one of
greatest interest is probably that providing
for the construction of eross-town rail-
road by the Great Falls and Old Dominion
Company. 1t is understood that this meas
ure will be pushed hard at the next ses-
sion of Congress.
