 The problem of the future Is the government of America by Americans In the working out of this problem believe we must obliterate the imagin- ary line between the United States or America and the Canadian States Of America. can see no reason Tor the division believe that the flag bear tng the Stars and Stripes must nnaiiy float from BehriGg Sea to the Gulf of Mexico.

NO CURRENCY BILL
SENATOR JOHNSTON EXPECTS NONE
 THIS SESSION.
Thinks Commission May Be Appointed to Consider Financial Question. Many Republicans Anxious
 to Complete Business,

Washington April 29.-(Special.)-- Senator Johnston. who keeps rather a close watch upon legislation. is of the opinion. from what he can gather, that no currency bill will be passed this session. He thinks that possibly commission may be authorized by Congress to consider during the recess the financial question. but there is even doubt about that, owing to the wide difference of opinion among the Republicans as to the best policy to be pursued.
 Some of the leading Republicans say that 1t is too near the end of the session to reach a satisfactory agreement They are nearly all anxious to wind up the pressing business and quit, but at the same time they are not hurrying, be- cause they do not know for certain the temper of President Roosevelt.
 lie is just as likely as not to call an extra session if Congress does not pass most of the measures urged by him in recent special messages. Senator For aker. on being asked when he thought Congress would adjourn. intimated pretty strongly that it would not be until action was taken on the Browns vile matter. It is understood that he and those who take the same stand, are getting ready for a lively fight. The Democrats appear to be confident they have power enough to send this matter over to the winter session.
 Some of the members of the Alabama delegation have secret letters indicat- ing that a movement has been started in the State to make an effort to se- cure delegates for Governor Johnson of Minnesota at the primary to be held for electing delegates to the Denver Convention.
 Mrs. Johnston, wife of the Alabama Senator, leaves tomorrow for Birming- ham. She is anxious to see her young est grandson, whose acquaintance she has not yet made. because he has been on this mundane sphere about month only. Alfred J. Stoier'
