CONGRESS IN SESSION

The closing session of the Sixty
first Congress opened at noon Mon
day, and the only business trans
acted was the appointment of COM
mittee to formally apprise President
Taft that the legislative branch of
the government was ready for the
conduct Of business.
The Presidents message was pre-
scented TO both the Senate and House
OF Representatives Tuesday, the
reading beginning the first thing
after they convened at noon. The
message was lengthy. approximating
one hundred printed pages. The
President makes numerous recon-
mendatiOns and suggestions, and
calls attention to the many ways in
which the departments of the gov
eminent may be made more effective
by the introduction of modern me-
thods and machinery. His urgent
appeal is for the reduction OF ex-
penses.
Following are some OF the peril
nent points OF the message.
II recommend fitting recognition
by Congress of the great achieve
ments of Robert Edwin Peary."
One great crying need in the
United States is cheapening the cost
OF litigation by simplifying judicial
procedure aud expediting final judg-
ment."
My experience leads me to be-
lieve that, while Government me-
thods are much criticized. the bad
results-if we do have bad results
are not due to lack OF zeal or will
ingness on the part of the civil SER
wants"
Due to the reform movements of
the present decade, there mas I'M
doubtedly beer great Improvement
in the business methods and stand
ards"
Since 1868 it has been the de-
clared purpose of this Government
to favor the movement for an eight
hour day"
Il cannot too strongly urge upon
Congress the passage of a measure
10 guarantee the establishment and
rapid development of an American
Merchant Marine"
AS an income producing meas
ure the existing tariff bill has never
been exceeded by any customs bill
in the history OF the county,"
Little, If any, of the criticism O
the tariff has been directed agaios
the protective principle.
Whatever policy is adopted, il i.
clear that the necessary Legislation
should be based on an impartial
thorough and continuous study O
the facts"
with respect to the parcels post

tion on all rural delivery routes"

THE HAPPIEST.

In happiness there are far more
regions unknown than there are in
misfortune. The voice Of mis-
fortune Is ever the same; happi-
ness becomes more silent as it pene-
trates deeper. He is happiest who
best understands his happiness. for
he is Of all men most fully aware
that it is only the lofty idea. the
untirins. courageous human idea,
that separates sladness from sorrow.
