PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

w HEN the President sent his recent mes .
w sage to Congress it was received with
insults by the Foraker group in the upper cham
Der and by the Cannon brigade in the lower
house The Western Republican papers dweit
especially upon these marked snubs. Cannon is
reported to have said in effect that the message
was of little moment as messages OF the Fresi'
dent were of frequent occurrence and were,
therefore, becoming commonplaces
The opponents Of the President, and in most
instances they are representatives OF special in
terests throughout the country, at the time the
message was received intimated strongly that
nothing would be done with the suggested legis-
lation.
The Cannon-Foraker coterie evidently are will
ing for a test between their views and those held
bv the President. We wish there were some way
in which the voters Of these United States could
express their opinions OF the two conflicting
forces-the President on side and Cannon,
Aldrich, Payne and Foraker and all those of their
illl on the other
We wish the test would include the peoples
verdict not only upon Foraker, Cannon and the
like but also upon all those who are not so
prominent, but who, every now and then, throw
bricks at the policies of the President.
Were such a test to be made there would be
an authoritative decision that would cause Can
non Foraker and their camp followers in various
parts of the country, to wonder whether there
had been an earthquake or a cyclone about them.
All that would be left of Cannon would be the
stump of one of his fragrant cigars, and almost
all that would be left of Foraker would be a few
scattered syllabes of his latest rant.
Late reports from Washington, according to
the New York newspaper that dislikes the Presi-
dent so much, say that the Cannon crowd are not
so sure of their ground. They must have heard
from the friends of the President. Probably they
received some messages from the West if not
from the East.
1t is now said that the House will consider the
anti-injunction bills and that more attention will
be paid to the President
Before Congress adjourns it may heed Roose-
vet's advice.
The action of the Maryland convention in en-
dorsing Roosevelt for President again ought to
be a slight warning that the President has not his
grip upon the affections of the people OF this
country.

VALUE OF ADVERTISING.

HE Hon. Levin Irving Handy, we notice.
II was among the speakers at the Mercantile
dinner. If we were reporting his speech at po-
litical convention we should say, that Mr. Handy
poured some hot shot" but as it was business
mems gathering we shall say that he gave some
good, sound advice about advertising and we
trust that the merchants will profit by it. For no
one knows the value Of publicity better than does
Mr. Handy.
For example, THE JOURNAL. gave to the
public the news of the forming Of the Handy
Ford political combine in the Democratic party
and what it intended to do. The combine did
what it said il would do, didn't it?
When he tells the merchants OF the value OF
advertising, of course Mr. Handy speaks dsin.
terestedly. If we told them what Mr. Handy told
them they might say that we were hunting for
business. But right on this point, if our mel-
chants should double their appropriations ,tor adj
vertising for o. year for instance, how much
better in every way would our papers become.
And the merchants, we believe, would be bene-
hted.
This Of course, is our own shop talk. We sell
dom indulge in it in these columns But the
merchants dinner, or rather, Mr. Handy's ad-
dress, called our attention to this subject
There was much other sound advice given al

Three days after singing a song Of
triumph upon the bank Of the Red Sea
In commemoration Of their deliverance,
the murmurings Of discomfort are
heard from the Israelites Three days
Of tramping over the desert with
scarcity of water tested their faith.
When they came as far as Marah they
found the waters bitter The people
tired and weary were chagrined at
their disappointment. They regretted
they were not back in Egypt beside the
river Nile.
Moses was burdened in spirit Know
ing that murmuring would not bring
relief he found refuge IN prayer. In
answer to his prayer Jehovah made
the waters sweet.
In our pilgrimage. like the Israelites,
we have varied experiences.
If to-day we have broken away from
the Prince of Darkness and with the
flush Of victory are singing the song
Of triumph. in a brief time we come
to some Marah where the waters are
bitter-Marah means bitterness and is
an emblem of life's disappointments.
Reverses overtake us and we are re-
duced to poverty. which necessitates
the most heroic struggle TO supply our
needs. In these sharp experiences of
privation we often murmur at our lot,
and yielding to our spirit of despond-
ency. become cynical in our disposi-
tion.
In Naomrs experience we find our
counterpart. When she returned TO
Bethlehem after an absence of ten
years the people said. 'Is this Ma
omi? And she said; Call me not Ma
omi Call me Mara. for the Almighty
has dealt very bitterly with me. Il
went out full and the Lord hath
brought me home again empty" Ruth
/: 1920.
In a single decade she has been be-
reft Of her husband and two sons.
Isaiah speaks Of the waters Of afflic-
ton. They are verv bitter. The
nuDtial knot is tied. the outlook is
bright. but soon the cherished hopes
are blasted. Loved ones have gone out
from our homes to that undiscovered
country.
There is no scarcity Of Marah ex-
periences.
Our heart becomes y spring of bitter
waters. If there is In US jealousy, envy
or revenge. Sin in the heart embit-
ters the life. in the case of Israel !
there was a remedy close at hand, !
which was not revealed until Moses J
prayed. and thea the Lord showed him |
tree which when he had cast into |
the waters they were made sweet.
There is a remedy for all tn bitter
experiences Of life. and It is close at
hand. We hear Paul saying. 1--WE !
glory in tribulation." Again to the |
Philippians he SAYS, IT have learned |
in whatsoever state am Herewith to /
be content" Phil 4: II.
If we 90 to God In earnest prayer
He win show us the remedy and re-
veal the sweetenine tree.
The tree which sweetened the waters |
of Marah was symbolic Of the purify !
ing power OF the cross. The cross of
Christ can sweeten the bitterest afflic- /
tions.
Jesus is the tree Of life and He can
turn the bitterest spring into a fount-
ain Of living waters. When Christ be-
comes the object Of our faith He re- I
news the heart and heals the bitter
waters.
Submission to His will can sweeten
the bitter experience.
''The crossi it takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
II cheers with hope the gloomy daN
And sweetens every bitter cup"

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been
forced to reduce its dividend one per cent. during
these times And, perhaps, it is lucky in view Of
the setback in business that the stockholders do
not have to stand a still larger reduction Only
the good management Of the company enables it
to keep to the standard that it has maintained
during the last six months. Some roads have
been hit much harder than the Pennsylvania has

Some Of those who have been objecting to the
expense of the investigation of the Water De
partment were willing that board of expert en-
gineers should be secured to pass judgment on
the work of the department Had this plan been
followed the expense would have been much
greater than the present inquiry is costing There
is a strong probability that as a result of the
investigation changes will be made in some of
the methods of the department If reforms are
accomplished the money will have been well
used.
