THE RESULTS OF THE SESSION.


eventful existence. The group
of laws made by the first ses-
sion of this congress marks an
era in American legislation.
The rate bill, the pure food
bill, the meat inspection bill,
the free alcohol bill, and the
immigration bill are all note
worthy. The rate bill asserts
the right and duty of congress
to control corporations engag-
ed in interstate transportation.
The meat and pure food bills
assert the same right and duty
over the manufacture of ar
ticles intended for interstate
distribution.
These bills met some oppo-
sition from the states rights
people, but that opposition
gave way before the argument
of common sense that congress
having the power to act and
the duty to act being pressing
it should not shirk the burden,
but assume it and carry it
The states are not debarred
thereby from exercising their
own police powers concurrent
ly within their own jurisdic-
tiou.
The free alcohol bill was a
piece of remedial Legislation
calculated to bring down cor
rupt monopoly of the means of
power and light. 1t was simple
in principle involving nothing
but remission by the federal
government of tax which it
had Z perfect right to levy and
collect.
The canal bill settled a ques-
ton which had vexed and an
nOyed the country and amused
foreigners. It makes up the
mind of the American people.
The immigration bill is not
specially noteworthy except as
showing that congress is be
ginning to think seriously
about the source of our princi-
pal support of new citizens.
The passage of such a re-
markab1e number of bills of a
general character is sufficient
to stamp the fifty-ninth con-
gress as having had leadership.
But when we come to look for
the leader, it is rather remark
able that we do not find him in
either house of congress. 1t is
merely stating the truth to say
that the hand is the hand OF
Roosevelt. The rate bill and
1--WE meat bill were passed by
l..tn: I>le canal bill is III the
same category, and the alcohol
bill and migration bills were
urged upon the attention Of
congress by him in special an !
general messages. The pure
food bill passed in the senate
as the result Of long wrestle
Of that body with the question.
When it reached the house it
was fortuitously mixed up
with the meat inspection dis
cussion, which the president
had provoked. IN the eyes Q.
people the two were one. They
demanded both and we are in
clined to believe that the house
under the thumb of Speaker
Cannon grudgingly gave
81 ther.
Congress at the session just
closed has given the country
results of more than ordinary
value. It would be pleasant
to be able to accept them as
from the hands of an altogether
cheerful g1ver. It would be an
error, however, to ignore the
fact that the national legisla-
ture has been under heavier
pressure during the past SEES
sion from public sentiment

FRANCE STILL ABSORBED
BY POPE'S ENCYCLICAL

repeated references to the rejection of
the associations entertained the after
thought that the government might pos
sibly be induced to assent to the forma=
ton of associations which, while carrying
out the spirit of the law, would recognize
the divine constitution of the church, the
Interchangeable rights of the Pontiff and
the hierarchy's complete control of sacred
edifoes
However, this hypothesis if true, has
not, according to the semi-official view,
any great chance of realization. such a
project being considered acceptable by
the government, which regards the law as
incapable of modification.
Negotiations evidently are not out Of
the question, but how they may be en-
tered upon remains problematical.
The assumption day services at the
the churches today were attended by
great crowds. The day was observed as
a national holiday, all the government
offices, the banks and the bourse being
closed. The governmental observance of a
church holiday is commented upon as an
anomaly. in connection with the contro-
versy with the Vatican. In the course
of the church services. the Pope's ency-
clical was alluded to by several of the
clergy, but apparently without concert,
the prevailing theme being readiness to
accept the Pope's decision in the matter
of the separation.

NEW sANITARiUM.
Or. M. A. Copeland's Institution for
Confinement and Convalescent Gases.

Work on the new and thoroughly mod
crn sanitarium of DIR. NJ. A. Copeland.
located about one mile beyond the end
of the Idlewild car line, and directly on
the route of the proposed extension of
the above named line to Elmwood eeme-
terry. has nearly been completed. and the
building will be ready for occupany in
about a week.
The santarium, which has a total Of
twelve light and airy rooms, is beauti-
fully located in the midst of grounds
comprising about five acres of lawn and
grove Its possibilities for landscape
gardening are thought to be good, and it
is understood that some attention will
be paid to this feature of the surround
ings. The building is two stories high
and has all of the necessary appointments
required by a first-class private hispital.
Adequate barns and outbuildings have
also been erected.
DR.. Copeland states that the insttu-
ton is intended especially for confinement
and convalescent cases, and its situation
is well calculated to provide the proper
environment for the sick to regain
strength and enjoy unbroken rest 1t is
believed that the addition of the new
sanitarium to the list of those already
in the city will fill long-felt need.

Paris. August 15.--The Pope's encyclcal
letter to the Fench archbishs and bishops
regarding the separation law continues a
topic of absorbing interest here, but the
discussion is largely polemieal since the
law does not take effect until December.
and this gives ample time for reflection.
Moreover, the absence of all high per-
sonages, official or parliamentary, defers
an exact determination of the govern
ment's course. Nothing similar to the
inventory riots has occurred or is ex-
pected to occur, either in Paris or the
provinces, although the actual publica-
ton of the law in December probably will
accentuate the situation.
M. BRAND minister of public worship,
is absent from Paris, but the Temps to-
day put forth the views of several high
officials who point out that the encyclical
ie merely negative condemning the cul-
tural associations provided by the law
but giving no real instructions relative
to the bishops future course.
The Pope's intention is regarded in gov
eminent circles as leaving the bishops
free to act In the way which, to them
seems best, without exciting a violent
conflict between the civil and religious
powers. The Pope, they contend, by his

ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED.
Mrs. J. A. Matlock Returns From Edu
cational Rally at Cleveland.

Mrs ]. d. Matlock has returned from
Cleveland, Blount county, where she went
to attend an educational rally last Thurs
day and to organize a school improvement
association. The people of this little town
are very much interested in education.
They have during the past year erected
handsome two-story school building,
which when completed and furnished will
cost between $4,000 and $4,000
The School Improvement association of
Cleveland was organized and the following
officers elected:
John Brown president; J. S. wittmier.
first vice president; A. c. McAnnally, sec
ond vice president; Miss Ella Pass, secre-
tary; Miss Ethel McCarn, treasurer.
This association has the largest member
ship of any school improvement associa-
ton in the state outside of the cities, and
its work will doubtless be carefully watch
ed by those interested in the educational
progress of the state.

Twenty-second streets after October /.
The resolution is as follows:
BE it resolved by the Mayor and Alder

nue. B from Twentieth street to Twenty
second street.
BE it further resolved, That the Mayor
is hereby instructed to see that this reso-
luton is carried out"
There has been quite an agitation on
this subject recently and it had been
stated that the dives on these streets and
avenues make it exceedingly unpleasant
for women and children to go and como
from the South Highlands and other resi-
dence portions of the southside on ac-
CT
cars or in carriages or automobiles.
The resolution was referred to judiciary
and miscellaneous committees and the al
aermen from the. wards affected.
Alderman Moore also introduced an or
dinance providing that the companies hav-
ing telephone. telegraph and electric
light wires be required to place them
under ground wherever they had been

tion 1t is true that the seats of GER
tain delegates were contested. But these
contests were not decided by fraud, and
Mr.. Bryan knows it. Does Mr. Bryan
deny the authority of the democratic ma

ton by vote of 647 to 299 confirmed the
right of the legal Illinois delegates to thein
seats. Those delegates elected me ma
tional committeeman by vote of 40 to 5.
The national convention again confirmed
that action. To allege fraud against my
right to a seat in the national committee
is to indct the last national convention
and its leaders for compromising felony.

ly do this? He cannot II he expects to
