Anglers LEADERS OF PARTY
PRESIDENT IS MEDDLING WITH
SENATORIAL COMMITTEES.
Roosevelt Also Declines TO Go TO the
Aid OF the State Leaders in
Their Fights.

A Washington dispatch says the
dignity of the republican leaders of
the United States senate has been
rudely disturbed by the interest Pres
ident Roosevelt is taking in the selec-
ton of the committees for the next
session of that august body. The
president has indicated to several of
the senators who have visited him at
the white house that he will appreci-
ate if if his friends in the senate be
Given important committee assign
ments. It is claimed that he has gone
farther in this direction than any OF
his predecessors, and thereby eVlnced
a disposition to attempt to shape the
policy of the senate.
The president is said to be partic-
ularly interested in the formation OF
the committee on interstate commerce
II is the committee that will have to
do with the railway rate bill and he IS,
therefore, anxious to secure as friend
ly an organization OF 1T as possible.
1t is known that majority OF this
committee is now opposed to the ad-
ministratiOn rate policy, and while
the president does not expect to secure
a sufficient number of republicans to
carry out his policy, he hopes with
democratic aid to secure a favorable
report from the committee on bill
that will be in harmony with his
ideas.
But such a movement on the part OF
President Roosevelt has created con-
siderable i'll feeling among the older
members of the senate. The lower
house has sometimes accepted dlcta-
ton from the white house, but the
senate never. If the president should
persist in his pictorial attitude toward
the senate, some of the more influential
leaders do not hesitate in saying that
an open rupture will be the result.
Harmony No Longer Exists.
That there is not now any harmony
between the reOrganized state leaders
and the administration is evlnced by
the refusal of President Roosevelt to
90 to the rescue of the party IN THIS
falls state elections.
Especially has this been true when
the party was in danger of meeting
defeat. as is the republican party OF
New York. Pennsylvania and ONO.
These states are recognized as being
republican states, and in former years
the administration regarded their loss
to the party as a rebuke to the repuD-
lican president in power. But Presl-
dent Roosevelt does not appear to
take this view of the situation. He
assumes the attitude of being wiser
than his party and refuses to support
the state machine.

RAMANATHAN's MISSION.
Solicitor General Of CeyIon Here to
Make Proselytes

L. Ramanathan, solicitor general of
Ceylon, has been widely quoted in the
newspapers as having come to this
country for the purpose of bringing
about a unifscation of religions, says
the New York Times. AS a Hindoo he
declaYes that proselytizing is foreign
to his mission, while this specific in
tention he disclaims, pointing out that
the parliament Of religions that had
this in view failed in It's endeavor.
"Since all religions at bottom teach
love and light as the means to reach
God" he said in a recent interview,
zone religionist should not tear the
hair of another or be too proud Of his
own beliefs, but should rather practice
a thoroughly sincere tolerance. AS for
unity of belief, that is impossible.
What wonder that the parliament of
religions, consisting of an army of
speakers from every part of the world,
each holding his own theories, was in
effective, when we know that the 400
bishops who assembled at Mecca under
llIt Oldtis VI al CIIIpCAOl " lCl lIlOhiAS
the one creed of Christianity some three
centuries after Christ failed to pro-
duce harmony that was effective up
on the yotaries of that religion!
My purpose in coming to this coun-
try is simply to answer the invitations
of certain kind friends and learned so
cieties here, not to make proselytes.
These friends and societies have ex-
pressed a desire to hear from me on
the great problems of civilization, and
after | have been with them for a few
months l expect to return to my home
in Ceylon after visit to China and
Japan. l do not expect to give lee
lures while in New York, as l am
averse to that form of teaching"
On Ramanathan's return to Cey-
Jon he expects to devote himself to
educational efforts whose aim will be
the preserving Of the national life
of India that is threatened seriously,
he believes, by the influx of the ma
terialism and sensualism Of the west.
To this end he expects to open col
lege for the higher education of the
youth of his own land.

Novelty In Electrical Service.

The man with the hoe and the patient
beast of burden may be driven from
the farms of the Wabash valley as the
result of a novelty in electrical service
which is proposed by the Fort Wayne
and Wabash Traction company, Operat-
ing eighty miles of interurban lines in
this section, says a Wabash Qnd) spe-
cial to the Chicago Record Herald. If
1t is successful dynamos will displace
hand workers. draft animals, steam

company proposes to install at cost an
electrical outfit for each landowner
within one mile on either side of its
tracks and furnish current at annual
rates to be based on the extent Of the
service required.
