| The President has not been able to
move his Legislative cohorts on the

his New York speech, full of hope. He
girded himself for a busy campaign.

do. They demonstrated to the Presl-

movement. There were a few days Of
| this opera bouffe. The telegraph wires
carried many an article about the brisk
plans of the senate and the house ana
the marvellous record that would be
made in handling those measures which
the President has close at heart.
But gradually in recent days the eur
tain has been drawn aside. The sorry
spectacle of congress promising to the
ear and breaking to the hope IS now
appearing. The cold facts OF the Presi-

The senate adopted this with a grim
humor. The leaders did not crack q
smile. There was no particular opposl-
toh. The consideration OF the bill
drIfted on days aud DAYS. Finally some
one suggested that the bill was clearly
unconstitutional. Such a great LAWYER
as Senator Root subscribed to that view
lie put IN ar amendment TO correct
that. He proposed to connect the bill
up with the fiscal system of the United
States. He would use the deposits to

And what followed? \ week of great
activity that promised much of progress
III the direction the President has urged
proved week of demoralizat ton and
despair. The senate leaders rushed to
the President with the advice that the
Root amendment would kill the postal
savings bank bill, if it were not already
dead. The hour was near for the use
of resuscltatOrs. OF course, the senate
was concerned. 1t wanted to help the
President! 1t wanted so much to pass
his bills,
With all this show of sincerity, the
grand old game of procrastination pro-
ceeded. There was a particular milepost

a speech by Senator Bailey, OF Texas
on the constitutionality of postal saw
ings banks. He is admitted to be a
great constitutional lawyer-when it
serves the purposes of the senate Re
publicans, But it takes time to pre-
pare a great constitutional speech and
TO examine the decisions. First Senator
Bailey had to go to South Carolina to
make a speech before the legisIa -ure.
That body had issued an invitation to
him. The United States senate has
weIl-detined practises about waiting for
a senator who has views to present.
Ordinarily if it had to wait for the
South Carolina legislature or for any
other legislature, there would be thun-
dering from the old senatorial forum.

Civilization and Missions.

There is question that is larger
than government or trade, and that is
the moral well-being of the vast mill
lions who have come under the protec-
ton of modern governments. The rep
resentative of the Christian religion
must have his place side by side with
the man of government and trade, and
for generations that representative
must be supplied in the person of the
foreign missionary from America and
Europe. Civilization can only be per-
manent and continue blessing to any
people if, in addition to promoting
their material well being, it also
stands for an orderly individual liber-
ty, for the growth of intelligence and
for equal justice in the administration
of law. Christianity alone meets these
fundamental requirements. The
change of sentiment in favor of the
foreign missionary in a single genera
ton has been remarkable.

the Pan-American bureau. as it is usu-
ally called, is a sort of common head

afoot to erect permanent home for
1t. 1t was to cost $125,000, and the
different republics were to contribute
In proportion to population as they
do for the annual expenses of the in
stitution. Several of the South Amer
lean countries proceeded on this basis,
and there was something like $4,000
on hand when the congress of the
United States declared for a more pre-
tentious building and appropriated
100000 instead of merely its share of
the $125, 900. Soon after Andrew Car
negie came forward and offered to do
nate the whole sum needed for build
ing-and a much finer building than
had previously been thought of. He
had previously donated millions of dol
lars for the famous peace palace" at
The Hague, and it was his idea to
have the new edifice in Washington oc-
cupy the same relations to the cause
of international peace on this CONT
nent that The Hague palace does to
the cause of international arbitration

When any person remarks about the

free use of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.

whom I have spoken about Postum, to
follow directions in making it, for
unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the
other hand, when properly made. it is
very delicious. I want to thank you

the building, took the chief part
The erection of the building was
made possible by Andrew Carnegie,
who gave $750,0OO of the million which
1t and its site have cost, and the

delivered fine address, and speeches
were made by Senior de la Barra.

tary of State Knox and John Barrett,
director of the bureau, who was in
charge of the ceremonies. Prayers
were delivered by Cardinal Gibbons
and by clergyman of the Protestant

Or course all the members Of the
diplomatic corps who were in the city
were present, and these brilliantly
uniformed gentlemen, together with
scores of ladies in their beautiful
spring costumes, made the scene most
picturesque.
