THE WORK OF CONGRESS
Congressional Summary.

The business of both houses of
Congress was confined largely TO list
ening to the reading Of the Presi-
dents annual message but in addi-
ticn few bills were introduced both

the House number Of bills was sent
to conference, among them being one
providing for new immigration sta

In addition, the Speaker announced

ceased.
For the first time during the present
Congress there was n call of the con-
mittees of Tie House but no measure
was reported by any of them.
The miscellaneous work of the Sen
ate consisted i'll the main of the ref
crence in executive session of about
l,50O recess nominations, which were
sent to the Senate by the President.
and the adoption of resolutions of re-
grct on account of the death of men,
bers of the House who have passed
away since the adjournment las, May.
The Senate adjourned for the day at
'nl., a I
Census Bill Passed.
For nearly five hours the House of
Representatives considered the bill
providing for the taking of the thir-
teenth and subsequent dccennial cen
suses, and passed it without material
change From the very outset of the
debate it became evident that the
progress of the measure toward pas
sage would be impedcd.
Pensions in Senate.
The session of the Senate was
chiefly devoted to the formal presen-
tation of departmental reports ana
the introduction of bills. The re.
ports have been made public from
time to time and the bills numbering
352 were chiefly for the granting OF
pensions.
Saturdays Session.
The House Of Representatives Sat.
urday was in its old-timc form. No
particular programme had been map.
ped out. but under call of commit.
tees several measures in which the
members were especially interested.
and III some cases vitally concerned
were considered. With few excop.
tions they cngendercd the lvelesi
sort of debate, and it was disclosed
that the forces for or against them
were fully lined up for the fray.
Parliamentary tactics were freely re.
sorted to, with the result that five
times the roll was called.
The first rangle occurred on 4 rcSo.
ln:ion fixing the boundary line be.
tween the States of Colorado. Okla.
homo and New Mexico. which was
agreed TO by majority bat not with
out two roll calls. The House then
by decisive vote refused to further
consider the bill providing for arbi.

threshed out Mt length. The measure

The Nations Bread.

That bread is justly entitled to be
called the staff of life" is fully borne
out by Investigations of the United
States department OF commerce and
labor. This department made an in
vestigation to determine the amount
spent for food by normal" laboTer'G
family. The data obtained from the
11,156 families whose expenses were
studied showed the average amount
spent for food by family consisting
of husband. wife and five children TO
be $329.19 pre- year. 1t is interesting
to note how the so-called normal fam
seems rather above the normal in size,
apportions its money for food and
other necessities. Twenty nine dollars
and 20 cents is expended for bread,
-four and cereals, and while the cost of
the bread is small compared with that
of other foods, the amount of nutri-
ments and energy derived from it is
large. The laborer's meat bill is the
largest of all. He spends $110.50 per
year for all kinds of meat, three and.
a half times as much as for bread.
His butter costs him about as much as
his bread, and sugar half as much,
while about the same sum is spent
for potatoes and vegetables as for
bread. Thirty eight dollars goes for
milk and eggs. More coffee is used
than tea; about $40 is spent for the
one and five dollars for the other. Re
1igion, charity and tobacco claim near
~ equal amounts. while Intoxicating
liquors come in for a much large:
share. Labor organizations get about
nine dollars per year, while s5.79 is
contributed to the support of state and
local governments in the form of
taxes. Sickness and death on the
average claim $2054 1t is quite APP
parent. says Harry Snyder in Harperg
Monthly, that bread and flour do not
form a very large item of the food ex-
pense of the normal laborer's family,
as only nine per cent. of the cost OF
the food goes for bread and 81 per
cent. for all other food articles.

REV. D. R. DAY FACES CHARGES
PREFERRED BY A MINISTER OF
THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Criticism Of Roosevelt by Chancellor
Leads to Complaint Being Made
Against Him to the New
York Conference.

Brandon, Vt-Charges have been
preferred by Rev. George A.
Cooke, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Brandon, against
Rev. j. r. Day, chancellor of Syracuse
university, on the ground that Dr. Day
DETAINED the character of President
Roosevelt. The charges have been
presented to Rev Waters, presiding
elder of the New York church confer
ence of the Methodist church, to
which Chancellor Day is ecclesiastical
ly attached.
When interviewed last night con
corning the allegations, Rev. Cooke
said it was true he had brought
charges against Chancellor Day. He
said that in a book entitled "A Raid
on Prosperity" written by Chancellor
Day. President Roosevelt was severely
criticized and that in his opinion DR..
Day had violated the rules of the
Methodist Episcopal church in thus
assailing the president. Mr. Cooke
stated that the specific charge pre-
ferred was defamation of character.
He considered that although SYRIA
cuse University is under obligations
to the Standard Oil people by reason
of large money gifts" Chancellor Day
Was AOL Justified as 4 minister or the
Methodist church ia assailing Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The university itself
is non-sectSrian.
Rev. Cooke was formerly pastor of
the Methodist church at Milford,
Mass, and is well known in New Eng
land and New York through his cam
paign against Prof. Hinckley G.
Mitchell, formerly professor of Heb
rev and Old Testament eXegesis of
Boston university
More recently he has appeared in
charges against Borden Parker Bovine
professor of philosophy at Boston uni
versity. and against DR.. James NJ.
Buckley, editor of the Christian Advo-
cate. These charges We're dismissed
after a hearing.
DR.. Day is charged with having
spoken "evil of magistrates in viola
tion of paragraph 80 of the general
rules of the Methodist church, which
warns against "uncharitable or un-
profitable conversation; particularly
speaking evil of magistrates or of min
listers"

Baron Takahira, the new Japanese
ambassador to the United States, has
had the best possible experience to fit
him for his delicate position. He was
consul general at New York 10 years
ago, minister at Washington from
1900 to 1905, and one OF Japan's repre-
sentatives in the conference at Ports
mouth which resulted in peace be-
tween his country and Russia. He
knows the American people and the
American president. and it is asserted
that he also knows a good deal about
Japan.

MONTHS EXPORTS ARE LARGE.
Sure Sign That Business Recovery 10
Well on the Way.

The exports OF merchandise from
the United States in the month Of
January this year exceeded in value
the exports of any previous January
and Of any previous month, with only
two or three exceptions. From this
port the January exports, nearly $12.-
100000 in value, were greater by more
than one-half than in January, 1907.
The largest percentage of increase
was in wheat and wheat flour and in
cotton, and these are the leading items
in the general export statement.
Wheat and cotton are the two great
staples of international exchange be-
tween this country and Europe. While
they flow only in one direction, the
volume of the outflow Is determined
not alone by the immediate supply and
demand, but by the commercial and
financial relations between the coun-
tries concerned. When we have bal
ances to settle abroad, II is question
of the most economical medium of eX-
change. That there has been a sudden
export demand for wheat and cotton
indicates that the prices are low
enough. in the slackened demand at
home, to make their expectation
profitable.
The cheering inference from this is
that the country is discharging its for
eign obligations in agricultural prod
ucts. This draw. any accumulated
stores into the market and helps to
modify the depreciation IN prices; ulti-
mately the value of these products
comes into the hands of the producers,
who are, in turn, the buyers and con-
sumers of other domestic products.
Thus, even an export trade that, in IT.
self, may be only an adjustment of bal
ances without profit to the country, is
nevertheless, inseparably linked with
other business activities. In this as
pect the large increase in exports fol
lowing upon the recent panic is one
sign of the natural process of recov-
cry. 1t is necessarily slow and grad
ual process, in which an adjustment
of prices and careful economics are
essential. The recovery cannot be
forced, but it may be helped by recog-
nizing the signs as they appear.-Phil.
adelphia Record.

Favorable symptoms are more

especially in respect to the growth of
confidence. Jobbers note more pres
sure to replenish depleted stocks of
staple merchandise, orders in many
cases being for delivery next fall The
advancing season has also contributed
to the better feeling by accelerating
the distribution of spring goods and
stimulating interest in the building
trades.
Industrial plants are more active.
pig iron production rising TO the best

Credits are still closely scanned and
mercantile collections are by no means
satisfactory, yet payments are more
prompt and the volume of business is
distinctly heavier.

St Paul, Minn.-The Democratic
state committee of Minnesota on
Friday, after a bitter fight, adopted
resolution indorsing Gov. John A.
Johnson of Minnesota for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination and
recommending that he be named by
the national convention at Denver
next July.
AS the meeting of the committee
was presided over by Frank G. Day,
private secretary to the governor, and
as Mr.. Day voted for the Johnson reso-
luton on every test and on the final
ballot, the action of the committee is
held by political leaders as placing the
governor formally in the race for the
Democratic presidential nomination.

amendment we should like to see

One of the most striking signs Of
this age is the entrance of science into
every department of life. A symbolic
picture of the twentieth century might
represent the spirit of science stretch
ing her hand out over the temples Of
learning, religion and law. The state
of Chihuahua, in Mexico, has passed a
sanitary law regulating theaters,
churches and other public buildings.
All such buildings must have ample
fire protection, be properly ventilated,
and provide sufficient seats. In the
churches it has been the custom Of
worshipers to sit and kneel on the
floors. This is forbidden by the new
law, which looks to the health of the
people. Old customs are suddenly,
sometimes violently, upset by new
knowledge, but there never was an
age more confident of its new knowl-
edge and more competent to produce
the facts than the present age.
