DovERs PASTOR WELCOMED
Rev. William L. White and Wife Given
a Rousing Reception.

The members and friends of Wes-
lev nj. E. Church, Dover, turned
out in force last Tuesday evening to
extend greeting and welcome to
their new pastor and district superin
tendent and their wives, Mrs. Will
liam L. White and Mrs. R. K.
Stephenson. The reception was held
in the lecture room of the church,
which was beautifully adorned with
cut flowers, trailing vines and
electric lights. A striking feature
of the decorations was the word
welcome, the letters formed by
the incandescent lights suspended
over the space enclosed by the chan
eel rail. Prayer was offered by DR..
Alfred Smith and a most enjoyable
musical program was rendered, con-
sisting of an anthem by the choir,
piano duet by Miss Diston and Miss
Cariss, tenor solo by Colonel Treid-
Ter piano solo by Miss Diston and
soprano solo by Miss Miriam Kirk.
Master Muncy Keith delighted the
audience with a recitation, which
merited the applause it received.
After the receiving party had beer
greeted by all present, speeches of
welcome were delivered by Professor
Cross on behalf of the official board
and the congregation at large by
William S. Haman on behalf of the
Sunday School and by Mr.. Tebo rep

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON
News of interest of Men and Affairs
at the National Capital.


at the National Capital.
Political quid nuncs throughout the
country cannot but be interested in
the reported near retirement of two
Republican Senators. They are Sena-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island and Sena-
tor Hale of Maine. During the past
fifteen or twenty years no two Senators
have exerted more influence or as
much influence as these two men in
the great legislative affairs of the
Country. Senator Aldrich has long
been known in Newspaper Row as the
boss of the Senate, and the title has
been more than mere name. Sena-
tor Hale has as long been known as
the ruler of the Navy. 1t is fitting
that they should resign. They have
had their day. AS Cicero says, "The
times have changed and we must
change with them" "New wine
should not be placed in old bottles. ."
Actors and beauties seldom known
when to retire. They continue to
make last appearances, but the
Younger generation finally forces
them off the stage. The younger
generation of Senators are Beveridge,
LaFollette, Cummins, Dolliver, and
others. Talk about ancient or med
iaeval history! The every day his
tory which we'll informed people dis
cern in the columns of the daily
newspaper is surcharged with mean
ing far more important and interest
ing to the man that reads it than
any previous era in the history of the
world.

AS the Panama Canal draws daily
nearer and nearer to the time OF
completion, it is interesting to think
of its great influence on the CONNER
cial and industrial force of this hem
isphere and on the world. Informa-
tion comes that an increasing num-
Der of students from South America
are seeking learning in American
colleges and universities. This is
especially so, it is said, with regard
to Peru. 1t is a fact not known ex-
cept to exact geographers that San
Francisco is nearly three thousand
miles west of Lima, the capital of
Peru. This city is almost directly
south of New York and Washington
and trade will doubtless during the
next decade be opened up over all
the western coast of South America,
not only with the Pacific coast cities
of the United States, but also with
New Orleans and other cities of the
Mississippi Valley, as well as with
the great ports of the Atlantic coast.
Excessively high tariffs and all re-
strictions on trade are inconsistent
with time and opportunity. There
will soon be migration of technical
ly educated young men southwark to
penetrate the Andes where mineral
wealth in gold, silver, zinc, copper
and iron were barely scratched foul
or five centuries ago by the Inca
civilization.

Twenty years ago practically no
cotton was manufactured in the
South. Now it is said that fifty per
cent of all the cotton manufactured
in this country is Manufactured south
of the Mason and Dixon Line. AS it
is well-known, a large part of the
raw cotton raised in the world is
shipped from the South. Probably
within another twenty years the
South, while remaining the greatest
cotton producing section in the world
will also become the greatest cotton
manufacturing center in the world.
Then, and not until then, will the
South attain its maximum prosper
ity. Cotton may not be liking, as
was the boast fifty years 40, but it
is surely the greatest natural monop-
oily in the world. The cotton grown
abroad is inferior to that of the
South. That grown in India, Egypt
and China is useful in its way, but
it is at best but a poor substitute.

he MADE KANSAS CITY PRETTY
That's What They Say Out There
About George E. Kessler.
From Hampton's Magazine.

From Hampton s Magazine
Soon after George E. Kessler was born
in Germany in 1862. his parents noticed
that handful of posies amused him
more effectively than anything else. That
discovery was S: gnificant. The family
came to this country in 1865 and young
Kessler was educated in the New York
public schools.
Then he went back to Europe for spe-
cial course in engineering, forestry and
botany. When he returned to the United
States he headed for Kansas City. where
ne announced that he was able to make
a boulevard out of dump heap
That was in 1892. Now, Kansas City
has thirty EIGHT miles of boulevards and
500 acres Of parks, The cost was $1,000
100, but Kansas City Is glad she spent
the money.
Mr. Kessler is landscape architect, but
his field is that of cities and not that of
ISOLATED residences or once In Il while
cemetery In the beginning he trans
formed Kansas City from-a rugged, hilly,
dirty town out in the west to that pretty
Kansas City place of boulevards and
parks and Fairgrounds and breathing
spots
There does not appear to be much of
the dreamer about Mr.. kessler, but just
the same he does dream, and those WIS.,
ions have resulted in giving Kansas City
one of the best park systems In the coun-
try, remoding the vacant and dirty lots
of Memphis into public gardens, beaut1-
flying Syracuse. N. Y: creating butter
fly metamorphosis for Indianapolis and
making and restoring the worlds fair
buildings Of ST. Louis and then showing
the city how to create a boulevard system
worthy of the size OF the place.
That Is not all. The natural beauties OF
Pensacola, Fla, are being added to by
him. Fort Worth. Tex. is being con-
verified into city where visit would
not be complete without trip over the
boulevard system.
Kansas City, Kan, the little sister Of
the larger city. on the Missouri side of
the state line. is being made to conform
with the example of it's neighboring mu-
nicipality. Workmen are busily tearing
down the shacks and replacing them with
