The Pulplt's Failure.

The loss OF moral leadership by the
clergy is often deplored; but what
else is TO be expected, when so many
clergymen appeal to the feminine
rather than to the masculine con-
science? To-day the Yirile, who see

MRS. MINNIE MORRIS
DECLARED INSANE

ST. LOUIS, MO, october It.
(SpeciaD Mrs Minor Morris, whose
ejectment from the White House a
year and half ago caused consider
able discussion has been pronounced
insanse and committed to the State
asylum at Pennington. She had been
in the observation ward of the city
hospital. She is not hopelessly in
sane, it is said, but her condition has
shown no improvement of late.
Mrs. Morris, who is a sister of Con-
gresham Hull, of Iowa, was the CEN
trail figure in the affair that stirred
the whole country. In January, 1906,
she called at the White House in
Washington to see President Roose-
velt B. F. Barnes, now postmaster
of Washington, was assistant secre-
tary to the President at the time and
told the woman she could not see
the Chief Executive.
The woman announced her deter
mination to see Mr. Roosevelt and
thereupon Barnes ordered her taken
from the White House. He said af-
forwards that Mrs. Norris dropped
to the ground and the policemen were

that she did this, but says she tainted

SECOND RIVERS AND
HARBORS CONGRESS
Aims at improvements on
Meril System.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Is.
! (SpeciaD The National Rivers and
Harbors Congress will convene in
this city on Wednesday, December 4,
and will continue its sessions on
the succeeding Thursday and Friday.
The Congress will be the second to
convene after it's reorganization more
than a year ago. Its first session
was most encouraging in the fact
that it's fundamental principle of a
fixed and settled policy of annual ap-
' preparations for the improvement of
: the Rivers and Harbors of the United
States, without regard to section but
wholly with regard to merit, COM
mended itself to the commercial and
! manufacturing interests of the coun-
try and to men distinguished in pub
lie life, but there is every reason to
believe that its coming session will
be far more encouraging.
The attention of the country has
been directed to the absolute neces-
sity for the improvement of inland
waterways and harbors in manner
so forceful and so direct that the
interest cannot be abated. 1t was an
interest dormant for years, save in
particular sections of the United
States, and whether it has been
aroused to the plane of a demand
that will not be satisfied with less
than full compliance by the energy
of local improvement associations, or
by the admitted inability of the rail-
ways to carry the freight offerings
of the country is not the material
question.
The real question is in the univers-
al concessions, in all sections, that
the trade and commerce of the Unit
ed States canont be adequately serv-
ed without the improvement of the
Rivers and Harbors on systematic
plan of continued work with adequate
appropriations made annually
That is the policy and embraces
the aims of Congress. In it's SEES
sions and its deliberations no section
of the country should be without rep
resentation. All are alike interested
in its work, and to no more import
ant subject could the commercial,
manufacturing and agricultural in
terests of the country be directed
than to the coming session. of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress and to adequate representation
in it's deliberations.

Value of Memorial Parks.

Nothing Of greater worth or perma-

a memorial than a park Or square, for
with each succeeding year it becomes
more attractive and valuable, says the
Los Angeles Times. Stones may crum-
bic and iron rust away, but parks en-
dure for all time. Memorials of other
kinds, eve those useful, such as is
the case with buildings, can never be
of such far reaching benefit, for parks
give pleasure to one and all, whereas
but a small part Of any center Of pop
ulation will visit a building more than
once, wen though it be a public libra
ry. If one wishes his memory to re-
main green. there is no perpetual re-
hinder to compare with a park.
