rhe Speakers objections.

The Speaker is credited with having
been particularly hostile 10 the prop
osition in the bill to give the Ameri-
can Line s25O,0OO year which pro.
vision was stricken out. 1t is possible
he may desire some additional modif-
cations, but 1t is ANTICIPATED there will
be no trouble In changing the bill to
suit his views. AS far as known all
the leaders OF the House will favor the
bill.

drafted It and is chairmanrof the com

sentative Dalzell, the other Republic

facts 1t Is not regarded as likely that

in crushing instructions in the House,
will put himself in the attitude Of an

The New England States are praccti-

The Hoosier State Is one Of the few
Republican States where ship sub.
sidy is bitterly fought. This seems to
rise from the fact that tile newspapers
confuse the present bill with the old

would have given a great deal Of mon.

ator Hemenway was rather in doubt
as to his vote on the bill, but the bust

New Year Calling,

The custom of paying formal calls on
New Year day has somewhat lapsed from
the old days, when the social world was d.
yided into two great classes. those who
received and those who called. It was a
pleasant practice when IN its full bloom
But 1t suffered from abuses, like all other
popular institutions. 1t led to absurdities
The present plan is perhaps better, after
ALL The day Is marked by renewals of &C.
quaintance by the informal visiting. by a
less rigid observance of the rule that So
ciety imposes upon neighbors and friends.
In this city the custom has special,
official significance which is peculiar to the
capital The White House is the scene of
a pleasant gathering of representatives. of
the government of the United States and
foreign powers, of patriotic organizations
and of the people generally. The President
and the members of his official household
receive these callers. many hundreds of
them, of all classes. The day thus brings
the chief executive into closer relations
with the people.

ton that for the longest time existed be-
tween these two Kentuekians. But that
time is past. Jack is now against Joe. with
all the fervor of his fervid nature.
The issue Is the machine. Mr.. Blackburn
and his colleagues charge that Judge
PEynter is the candidate of machine
manipulated by Gov Beckham, and are
calling on the people to rise in their might
and assert themselves. To this Col. Chinn
replies like this:
which sent McCreary to the United States
then? Oh. no. He was too cunning for
that. He was charmed. The whirr OF the
wheels was sweet music to tJeerns b. g
cars in those days. But one day, about
two years ago. Blackburn and McCreary
walked up and heard in Washington--'n
Washington, mind you--that there was
machine In Kentucky, and they were going
to bust II.
We'll, If there Is any such machine *
the same machine that elected both or
them to the Senate. There may be a few
new cogs and some fresh oil, but in every
other respect it's the same machine.
The note here of the cynic and old cam
paigner need be no surprise. Years of po-
litical activity have parted Col Chinn
from all illusions and he gives the name
OF spade to the implement to which the
name belongs. If the Paynter men are
wise they will select the Harrodsburg
statesman to put the judge in nomination.

The announcement is Interesting, If true,
that Andrew Carnegie is preparing his au-
photography. No book Of the kind in any of
the numerous libraries he has founded will
possess greater charm for the American
reader of a practical turn He will find in it
both lesson and entertainment, both inspi-
ration and instruction. Mr.. Carnegie has
seen and done much. and should be able
to tell his story in style carrying the meat
of all OF 1t. The American, indeed, who
with opportunities he improved. saw the
development of the second half of the nine
teenth century and the effect on his coun-
try, has knowledge and observation of great
value. Mr.. Carnegie beginning at the foot
of the industrial ladder, went to the top
almost unaided, and is today one of the
striking figures of the world. And there
are more years coming to him.

Words Of Good Will

The days greeting falls lightly from the
tongue and pleasantly on the ear. 1t Is the
natural expression of good win incident to a
day set apart for fresh beginnings. Per-
haps 1t Is insufficientiy considered Maybe
we hear 1t too often, say 1t too often, to
realize It's fun significance.
"A happy New Yeari" 1t should signify
a wish for the highest attainment of happi-
ness in life. And yet how often Ii has been
uttered without thought for the meaning
In this sense And how variousiy 1t is In
terpreted.
What is happiness after ALI Ten men
stating their conceptions of happiness
would probably offer as many variations
Of the theme. To one it would be a concept
of more money. to another more leisure. to
another more fame. to another more in
diligence, to another better health, to an
other more chances for doing good, to an
other wider opportunity for the acQuisi-
ton Of knowledge, to another more power
over other men, and so on ad minimum.

hope Is suggested, though unexpresssd In

Let us not begin the New Year with too
great uneasiness on the subject of Mo-
rocco. 1t is true all danger is not behind
us, but the subject has been so thoroughly
discussed, and protestations of peace and
good will by all parties in interest have
been so eloquent and numerous, war seems
most unlikely. The leopard cannot change
its spots, nor the Moroccan his skin, nor the
kaiser his theatrical way OF doing business
But the world today does not want war,
and almost the world Is concerned In the
