Secretary Root, while appearing
before the appropriations committee Of
the House this week took occasion TO
say few words on the consular sys.
TEN. He pointed out facts that ought
to be perfectly well known to congress
at large. but which, considering the
way that the consular bill has been
emasculated in the senate, would seem
either to be unpleasant truths to which
congress would rather shut It's eyes or
else facts in which they do not believe.
Here are some of the things that
Secretary Root said
The American consulates in many
places are in bad shape Congress
knows the conditions and the reasons
as well as anyone. The consular ser
vice has oeen from long custom made
the stronghold of the spoils system and
has been used as berth into which to
shove any eminently respectable citizen
who had outlived his usefulness else
where and who needed to be taken care
Of. The object Of the consular service
and consular salaries seems TO have
been TO pay political debts and not TO
put live Americans abroad to foster
American trade. Import ant clerk ships
IN foreign consulates have too often
been held by natives Of the countries 10
which the consuls We're accredited and
not 10y Americans, this to the detr.
ment Of American trade. The proyis.
ions Of the consular reform bill for the
examination Of young men and promo
tons based on seniority and ability have
been stricken out by the senate. and
while some provisions Of Importance
have been left in. 1t is question
whether even the amended bill will
pass.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From Our Regular Correspondent,

ThIi Is aPre,ty severe arrangement of
congress. coming as il does from the
secretary Of state who is admittedly
good business man and a good lawyer
and one who knows conditions at home
and abroad. The worst Of it is that il
Is all true. The senate regards the con.
sular service as too good a repository
OF debt paying patronage to want to
see u reformed. And that is the secret
Of the amendments to the consular bill
just when the whole country is clamor.
ing for a reform in the service and
when the state department is doing its
best to furnish the reform.

week, he seemed to love me. But, af
terward, as his fortune increased, his
affection for me diminished. And he
got so rich after while that he said
he wished I were dead" It is the
story told in New York divorce court
by the wife Of e. II. Tucker, wealthy
insurance broker. It is, In substance,
the pitiful story told In a thousand d.
vorce courts all over the country. 1t
is the pathetic tragedy which, In these
days Of wonderful prosperity and
rapid fortune making, has blighted
homes unnumbered. Money, honestly
got and wisely used, is good to have.
But there is not enough of 1t in all
the world to recompense the loss OF
the sweet joys Of the humblest home
that is lit and warmed by love. Pros
perity is a precious blessing to those
worthy of it and able to stand it.
But all the wealth of the mines and
farms and factories cannot give such
genuine and enduring satisfaction to
the soul as does the wealth Of love
and faith and sacrifice that makes the
home the cornerstone of civilization.
The real life is not outside ourselves,
but within. The real possessions are
not what the hands may grasp, but
what the heart may hold. A lot Of
men will not believe these vital truths
are anything but empty distractions.
In their infatuation for the material,
the practical, they recognize no values
that are not marketable and see no
substance in anything they cannot
clutch in their palms. They must
wreck home before they can know
what it is made of. They must en-
bitter and blast their lives before they
can learn what Is worth while in them.
To be rich and still retain the simple
virtues and the honest loves-there is
the real prosperity.

Five days before the great storm
struck Pensacola and Mobile in Septem-
Der it's existence and progress were an
nounced by the weather bureau in these
words: "a tropical disturbance was
reported Saturday afternoon as deyel-
oping south Of the Grand Cayman,
probable direction northwest by way
of Yucatan channel" The next day
it's passage through the channel into
the Gulf was noted and it's presence
in the Gulf was reported the day after
On Sept. %, the fourth day, the fore
cast said that it seemed probable that
the storm would be felt somewhere be-
tween the mouth Of the Mississippi and
the west coast of Florida within TWEEN
ty-four or thirty-siX hours. It reached
Pensacola the next day, and on the
sixth day news Of the great damage
done In Pensacola and Mobile was tel
egraphed all over the country. Resi-
dents in the Gulf ports gave little heed
to the warnings, and many lives and
much property were consequently lost.
Similar conditions prevailed at the time
of the inundation of Galveston. The
people were warned of the storm, but
went about their business as usual.
1t is not possible to beat back the sea
when it is dashed into fury, but ship
ping can be anchored IN a safe harbor,
and persons and property in exposed
positions can be removed to places Of
greater safety. The weather bureau
was not established to give employ
ment to various persons who liked to
amuse themselves by making guesses
about the approach of storms. It is
conducted by practical and experienced
men trained In the science of meteor
ology. Their predictions are based on
established principles, indicated
by long series of experiments. An err
roneous forecast Is the exception, and
is due to the appearance Of unexpected
forces to defect air currents and
change barometrlc pressure. Nearly, If
not quite all great storms are foretold
many hours, and sometimes many days,
in advance. 1t is much safer to heed
the warnings Of the weather bureau
than to laugh at them. The farmer
who cuts his hay when pleasant days
are predicted is more likely to get it
cured and safely under cover than his
neighbor who ignores the daily bulle-
tins from Washington.

scope as the train rushes through busy
Belgium. There is always a town In
sight-long, narrow streets inclosed by
high brick tenements five and six
stories high, with steep roofs covered
with slate, and between them are little
farms, like those that you see in Japan,
patches Of wheat, rye or barley no
bigger than the straw beds in an Amer
ican garden, with little strips Of pota-
toes or other vegetables planted be-
tween. Every inch Of the soil is cul.
tivated, even up to the ballasting on
the railroad tracks. There is nothing
to show where the farms divide,
Hedges take up too much room and
fence material is too expensive. Hill
sides that are too steep for farming
are planted to trees and cultivated like
cabbages or turnips, because every
stick of timber has value here. The
waste of an American sawmill would
be worth fortune in Belgium. AID.
parently the women folks do most of
the farming. You scarcely ever see a
man in the fields as the train hurries
by. This is due to the fact that the
men can get better wages in the mines
and mills than they can earn on the
farms.

Every Creature Works There Except
Sheep and Pigs.

There is more population to the
square mile in Belgium than in any
other part Of the earth except China
and some parts Of India, writes Will
liam e. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald. There isn't an inch Of ground
wasted; every drop of water in the
streams is utilized, and every ounce of
strength and energy is applied. Every
body works in Belgium but the sneep
and the pigs. Dogs and cows have to
draw heavy burdens. The dogs do the
churning on the farms and draw mar
ket carts loaded with vegetables to
market. Sometimes they have a wom-
M harnessed in with them, which is
a little hard on the woman. but very

him to draw the load.
