MEMS LEAGUE GROWING.

The Mems League for Woman S
Suffrage in England, which was start
ed less than year ago, is re orted to
be growing steadily. Its members
say they believe that the greatest
service We can render to the genera
tions to come is to make it possible
for both sexes TO work hand in hand
for the common good of society p"
The Treasurer of this League is Mr..
Stanton Colt, formerly of Columbus,
Ohio. His mother, the late Elizabeth
Colt, was an active worker in the
Chic Woman's Suffrage Association
for many years.

We take occasion of this momen-
tous season to draw attention once
more to the fact that one of the
prime purposes of the morning wor-
ship is worship. The Church is an
evangelizing agency for the rede-
mption of the world. She is the
bearer of important news to the
unrepentant and the unsaved. But
she exists and her public congrega-
lions assemble also for the building
up of the saints. AS DR.. Forsythe
in his notable Yale Lectures puts
it the office of the minister is sac
ramental as we'll as evangelistic.
1t is the Church which must save
the world and only as she comes to
the full consciousness of herself and
of her mission can she do this great
deed. Therefore she needs her
hours of communion and of ado
ration of holy contemplation medi-
tation and prayer. Upon such sea-
sons the strictly evangelistic effort
may we'll wait.

billions gallons ere produced
throughout the world last year
France leads in the productions
with a total of billion and half
gallons while the contribution of
our own land is something over
thirty-fve millions. Figures of this
kind are discouraging but it is nee
essry that we should have them
if we are to realize the magnitude
of the struggle in which we are
engaged. When we know how far
the battle line extends we are not
likely as to make the mistake of
believing that the enemy is routed
because we have repulsed him in

God has rewarded our arms with
wonderful success but there is still
much country to be possessed.

But it is not alone in the trailing
of the criminal, that the bloodhounds
are useful; their greatest value will
be realized as a deterrent of crime.
Knowing that the dogs are within
easy reach to be put upon his track
as soon as his crime is discovered,
the criminally inclined will think
twice before perpetrating the deed.
The fear of punishment and detect

that can be devised.

BRYAN S Commoner.

The greatest political thought in
the world is that embodied in the
declaration of independence, name
ly, that all men are created equal.
This is the basis of popular COVER
ment, and popular government is
spreading. 1t does not mean that
men are. or will be. equal in ply
steal strength, in intellectual abil-
ity, in moral character or in wealth
1t simply means that God never
gave to one human being natural
right that he denied to any other
human being, and that in the con-
temptation of government, all must
stand equal before the law. Out
of this basic principle all other
political principles grow and by it
all methods of government and all
policies must be measured.

WHEN THE COMMITTEES

OF THE WHOLE SITS.
When the committee OF the whole
sits, the speaker leaves the chair a
chairman is called to preside and the
bill under cons derStirn, which are
bills appropriating money orproperty,
private bill, are debated generally
and then are read by section or para
graph for amendment, under q rule
which limits debate to five minutes
on a side. This method of amendmen t
and five minute debat is one of the
most admirable systems of procedure
ever invented for a parliamentary
body. and one that has wrown up and
is pecrliar to the House of Represen-
atives. Under its provisions. long and
prosy speeches are excluded, but
there is cOncecrated on each para
graph of the bill an Intelligent discus
sion always to the point and usually
sutficen to develop any week place
that may exist in the proposed leg.s.-
ton. After the bill has gone through
the searching process of the five-miu
ute rule, the committee takes a vote
on the question of reporting it to the
House, and if that is decided in the
affirmative, the committee rise and
the bill is accordingly reported. in
theBOuse it is possible if theHouse sc
wills, toconsiderthe bill again 9TH fol
debate and amendment, but usually
there is no desire to do this, and
the question on the several readings
and passage of the bill are take al
once
When the bill has passed the House
it is sent to the enrolling room, where
trainined clerks prepare it for the
printer, who prints it on a good grade
of paper, in large type; and thereby
it becomes an engroSSed bill. The
clerk places upon it hes certificate to
show that it is IL true and bona-fide
act of legislation of the House, anC
then takes it by message to the U. S
Senate. Speaker Joe Cannon arti-

AS to the size" of a poet, compar-
ed with other poets who is
there many tell about that? 1t IS true
that Liley never jngges with a navy,
like Kipling does, or slaps a solar sys-
tenn on the wrist in Walt William S
big, fraternal, familiar way; and he
isn't what we call timely poet in
nypolitical sense; he is preoccupied
with the enduring ancient properties
of song. For he is sure that no mat
ter what emperors and kegs and re-
publics may be doing, Titinia still
holds her court(untroubled of lifetime
ly events of any time) in yonder dell
where the fireflies be-star her wink
ing woodland armament; still there is
the dew upon the clover; the
grooming of pigeons and the done of
bandit bees that rob the blossoms;
still there are good fairies, crowded
with the silverest moonlight, to perch
upon the window-sill and sing chuck
ling songs to good children, and fire
eyed, gratchy-fIngered COLLINS to af-
fright the bad ones; the rose has still
her limited secrets for the curious
breeze; the cobwebs and the frost still
clrpet the October bottom-londs with
glitteren and Intricate welt of beau
ty; and still, by the old swimmin
holes of youth,
the dragon-fly, in light
Gauzy armor, FURNISHED bright
Comes a-tilting down the waters
In wild, bewildered flight.
Older things and newer things than
the oldest creed or the newest decla-
ration of independence; and after all
the old properties of the poetic stage
are good enough when there comes a
wholesome man who can make us look
and listen and remember. Don
