lative and executive departments Of
the government: for Taft and Root
have been the dlplomatists Of the ad-
ministration. and they have won
many a bloodless victory in the com
mittee rooms. However. such rela-
tlons between Mr.. Taft and congress
would have been impossible without
Roosevelt as a predecessor.
The Aldrlch crowd in the senate
has been the whole government for
many years. They looked askance at
Roosevelt from the beginning of his
administration, because he was a
president by virtue of accident, and
because he had a record as radical
reformer. II wasn't long before they
found what serious accident Mr..
Roosevelt was. and just how radical
he can be.
The president Immediately set out
upon a policy OF acquainting the peo-
pie with the situation at Washington,
the principles Of congressional action,
the limitations of executive ability
TO cope with evils, and the RESPONSE
billty of congress in the premises.
His attitude and his penchant for
playing politics as keenly as any sem
ator in Washington. encouraged the
Beveridges and the LaFollettes in the
upper chamber to fight the leaders;
and encouraged ambitious men at
home to fight for the leaders seats.
The people soon learned the neces-
slty OF sending representative men TO
congress. As a consequence we find
the speaker Of the house humbled,
he senate leaders opposed by q
strong and ever growing admins
rat on faction. and new faces Of the
oettef type in the seats Of political
puppets.
Wen Rect taxes his seat from
New York, another strong figure will
be there to fight for his country The
policy for years to come has been
definitely outlined 20 the country by
MI Roosevelt. and popular oonyen-
tons of various sorts hold annual
meetings to discuss and consider the
wants OF the country. Mr.. Taft has
a thoroughly whipped majority az his
beck In congress. and thoroughly
aroused constituency at his back,
ana pleasant word in his mouth 20
win friends 10 his cause IN commit
tee rooms. SO we anticipate peace
in Washington. and good will to al
men

The signs OF the times ire an

No one thing will do more to en-

well born. Some very good
Christians (~otherwise) are with

unite in saying that 'to brace the

their quota to make lives unfruit-
full.

Rae Characteristics.

"Heredity accounts for likeness
es of race; environment, for differ
ences."
The Jews are a striking example
of inherited rae characteristics
they adhere most closely to their
parent stock.
The American is new, with new
characteristics physical and psy-
chial. AS evolved from the Eng
lish and presenting a now type,
the figure is different; the color
of the skin, darker; the head and
eyes changed. Other changes
have been evolved through oc-
cupation of a new country and
participation in the struggles and
sacrifices incident to founding q
nation on virgin soil.
In the words of Emerson:
The word Of the Lord by night

And filed their hearts in flame.

missionary in China and leader OF
the Chinese anti-opium crusade,
recently preached a sermon which
is published in local papers in
which he very effectively parallel

the American anti-liquor move

"Did we not condemn England

Yes. Then shall not the same

public school:
To whom it may concern: Know

21st day of May. 1908.
Wherefore, we, the undersigned are
the undergrade teachers, pass these
resolutions commencing Mr.. Watts
for his years work.
For qualifications and professionl work
Mr.. Watts has shown rare ability, his
government the best, his considera-
tion for the school and teachers are un-
questionable; perfect harmony and
satisfaction have marked the year
work for teachers and students.
All teachers feel that 1t has been due
to Mr.. Watts careful consideration
that the school has been built up and
is now left in progressive condition.
We therefore consider that the
teachers owe many thanks to Mr..
Watts for his qualities and work as a
teacher.
