man the value per mile of the roads in
South Dakot as assessed by the state

one mile of road for one year is about a
third more than the value of that mile of

 The river and harbor bill then was read for amendment. The reading of the bill was interrupted by Mir. Mad dox (Ga-) who inquired of Mir Burton if Esopus Creek. mentioned in the bill. could not be changed to Salt River. This reference to Esopus. the home of Judge Parker, caused considerable merriment.
 In view of the inferential charge that the Committee was trying 10 force Pennsylvania to appropriate $50O,000 in order to get a similar amount from the government for the Delaware River, MT. Burton offered an amendment striking out the provision. Instantly Messrs. Brown, Adams and Butler (Pa.) were on their feet and each in turn pleaded for the appropri. ation without the requirement. of a contribution from their State.
 MT. Burton withdrew his amend- ment, but declared that the commerce of the country could not be brushed aside for the benefit of navy yards.

American Club.
 Paris, Feb. 22.-The feature of Wash ington's birthday banquet of the Amer ican Club was a speech by Ambassador Porter detailing the search he has pros ecuted during the last five years for the grave of the American naval hero John Paul Jones. Before coming to France" said General Porter, 'I felt a sense of humiliation to think that the most fascinating hero of the revolution and the founder of the American navy had been permitted to lie for more than 5 century in an unknown and forgot ten foreign grave, without an effort to rescue the remians from oblivion
 The Ambassador told of the search that has been made to determine the authentic grave of Jones Historians differed concerning his resting place The archives were burned during the revolution and the commune of 1871, and the records of the National Assem- ply, which appointed the distinguished delegation for the funeral of John Paul Jones failed to disclose the burial place An interesting letter was discovered showing that no money was available for the funeral. and that M. simmo- neau, Commissarry of Police, generously paid out of his own pocket expenses amounting to S92.

 Messrs. Adams. Bingham and Me- Creary (Pa.l called attention to the sums spent by Pennsylvania on the Delaware River channel below Phila- delphia. based on promises of fair gov ernment appropriations which they claim had not been given.
 Mir. Burton took exception to the criticism and said that more money had been spent at Philadelphia since 1902 than for the New York channel since 1898. X plea for the construc- tion of waterway to avoid the dan gerous shoals of Hatteras was made by MT. Small (N. Y)

 Reverting to the remarks of Mir. Bur- ton, regarding the Delaware River Improvements, Mir.

School Children.
 Chicago, Feb. 22.--Washington's birthday was commemorated by exer- cises for the school children under the auspices of the Union League Club and by a meeting of the general public in Orchestra Hall, which was crowded. The orator of the day was Henry &. Pritchett of Boston. President of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His subject was Shall Politics Be a Profession or Q Business?" He said in part:
 "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 people, and his profession Is one to be exalted-not brought into contemplate be respected as the noblest, not de- spised as the most unworthy. Let us frankly decline to give high place to him whose political leadership depends on appeals to the emotions and who will not learn to discipline his own tongue and his own temper. That man who cannot discipline his own speech, who cannot discuss public questions without the sting of personal suspicion and bitter words is unsuited for the high profession of politics.
 The American people, looking back over the years when they have fol- lowed inefficient leaders through the wilderness of bloodshed and sectional strife, may we'll 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 constitutes wisdom. Not sem timent, but sense, is the supreme en- dowment of political leadership for which the nation seeks"
