! you, things you had really no strength
| to attempt, you found them easy af-
! ter they were really put on you; but
you found what is better, new

! bursting forth in your life. You found
yourself, to your surprise, help and
not a hindrance. You quit thinking
Of yourself. You found Joy at the foot
of the Cross where you least expect

Great as parental or satisfied love
has been in the world as conquar-
| ing force, still greater is virgin-love,
defeated ambition, as a power impell-
ing men and women to chivalrous,
unselfish, sanity deeds; as water
with 5O0-foot head playing on tur-
bine wheel is more highly useful than
the same water flowing freely at a
low level and serving humble ends.
This is the spring-time power which
turns the great wheels of charity, re
fern and missionary endeavor.
In George Washington, and above
all in Jesus Christ we see the pow
er Of the springtime controlled and
used for humanity's good. Frances
Willard is the foremost example
among modern women. With all the
mistaken examples of celibate life,
which were uncalled for in many
cases, nevertheless the power of un-
selfish devotion, the conservation of
the whole life-not fraction-distin.
guishes Christianity from other reli-
gions. Other religions have their her
mits and secluded devotees but in
Christianity alone Is the greatest of
all forces geared to the machinery of
life.
All good, in fact, comes from disap.
pointment, self.repression, self-denial
at some point. We are learning more
and more how to harness, confine,
control and direct the forces of
nature, which would otherwise run
riot in a useless flood and dazzle the
beholders by specular display to no
purpose; SO In Lent we turn for a
time from proper self-indulgences,
much more from the improper ones,
and manifest to the world the might
Of the Cross in spring-tide of love
and well doing.
Always present but too often hid.
den under our everyday blessings the
spring life struggles against its bonds
and, like the mountain stream flow
ing under the ice Of winter, must be-
times burst them. So let us do our
part in letting the Life do its larger
work of blessing to mankind. Hold
ing 1t selfishly, means ruin to those
who would monopolize or limit It's
flow. '4 ftil G

A GRACEFUL REPLY
BY President Taft to Apology Of the
Suffraqists.

washington. April 17.--Declaring he
regretted the kissing incident at the suf-
fraGette convention Thursday evening,
not because Of personal feeling hut be-
cause it might he used IN an unfair way
to embarras the leaders Of the suffraS-
lists movement, President Taft Saturday
afternoon sent a letter of reply to the
apology sent him yesterday by the suf-
frayists. ...,.
The letter was. addressed 10 Mrs.
Frances Squire Potter and read:
My Dear Mrs. Potter-I beg to ac-
knowledge your favor of April IS,
unite with you in regretting the Incl
Fdent occurring during my address to
which your letter refers, regret il not
because of any personal feeling, for
have none on the subject at all. but
only because much more significance
has been given to it than it deserves
and because it may be used in an UNI
fair way to embarrass the leaders of
your movement. ...
II thank, the, association for the
kindly and cordial tone of the resolu-
tons submitted. and hope that the
feature of Thursday nights meeting,
which you describe as one giving your
association much sorrow, may soon be
entirely forgotten. Sincerely yours.
WILLIAM H. TAFT
A conference on the practical methods
of work preceded the opening Of the con.
vention. Suffragists from all parts OF
the country told of their plans and ex-
periences in their efforts to place the
matter intelligently before the people.
Representative Anthony of Kansas ad-
dressed the delegates, indorsing the
movement and praising the result Of mu-
nicipal suffrage In Kansas.
The convention received numerous in
teresting reports from state presidents.
detailing the progress made during the
past year in the suffrage movement. Mary
Hutcheson Page of Massachusetts, said
the cause had made great Roadway in her
state and prophesied much for the future.
Mrs Lucia Ames Mead of Boston, who
will represent the cause of international
peace for the first time at the biennial
meeting of women's clubs In Cincinnati
in May, presented a report. She said in
part: Az.
while all women hate var. many are
hoodwinked by the clamor of vested inter-
estS and the naval and military class into
supporting the war system When they
read war scares they do not suspect, as
Representative Tawney declares, that
these are due to the ship combine. i
Women are conservative naturally.
They should set their faces like flint
against the new, ambitious policy that
would deludc us into thinking our huge
and costly navy is a national police Po-
lice never fight each other; they take men
to court. Navies fight each other and
never aim to secure a judicial decision.
An international police must replace rival
navies.'

General Debate in House
May Conclude Thursday
President viii Not Leave with
Bill in Conference.
Corporation Tax Cases Decision
May Be Handed Down Today.

Washington. April lit looks after
all as though the House would beat the
Senate in passing the administration
railroad bill. Notwithstanding the lat
ter branch had start of two or three
weeks in taking up the measure. About
the only advantage in this priority Is
found in the fact that the new law for
the control of the transportation lines.
while prepared almost entirely by At
tcrney General Wickersham, will bear
the name of Rep. Mann of Illinois in
stead of Senator ElkinS of West Nir-
giria.
Preparations have been made in the
House for the early closing of debate
on the measure. Mr.. Mann YESTERDAYS
obtained the adoption of a motion by
which night sessions may be held to-
morrow and Tuesday. IT is expected
that by next Thursday general debate
will have been concluded, and that on
Friday the bill will DC placed before
the House for amendment under the
5-minutc rule. Republican leaders be-
lieve the bill can be passed by Satur-
day. Several days will clapse. in all
probability, before the railroad bill is
tdhtI up liSdlIl III 'ttic SSLdtS. liz nv
err and harbor bill has the priority
just at present.
The interest of the President in the
details of the railroad bill is so great
that he will not leave Washington
while the measure is in conference If
he can avoid.
The influence which the President
cxerted by remaining in Washington
while the tariff bill confcrees were in
session, is Well remembered. and the
President is not blind to the fact that
his control might have been even
greater il he had been acquainted. as
he now is, with the most effective
methods of reaching the legislators. 1t
is regarded as certain that he will not
again lose such an opportunity.
Considerable interest attaches to the
gathering here this week of the judges
of the new customs court of appeals.
Their purpose is to organize for BUSH
ness.
Now that the Standard Oil and the
American Tobacco Co, cases are to be
re-arsued, the corporation tax cases

morrow.

stated in press reports that the inhi-
bition against sthe expectation of pulp
wood would specifically apply to the
United States. officials here are not in
clined to. take that view. IL Quebec
should. as has been announced, issue an
order of prohibition it would probably
take the form of the order ISSUED some
time ago by the province of Ontario. In
1897 Ontario passed an act to the effect
that all licenses to cut timber on crown
lands should contain and be subject to
the provision that all pine cut into logs
should be manufactured into swan lum-
her in CaEada. In 1900 the provision
was extended 50 as to require that IL
censes to cut soft woods suitable for
PULP wood must stipulate that it must
be manufactured in Canada into pulp
or paper. a@.
The state department earnestly contin-
mes its efforts to reach an amicable un-
with Canada, looking to
closer commercial relations between the
two countries and there is reason to be-
lievc special attention is being given at
this moment to the subject OF pulp wood
and pulp. Although the officials decline
TO discuss the subject 1t is undoubtedly
true that frequent communications are
passing between the state department
and Consul General Foster, who took
part in the tariff negotiations with the
Canadian officials. The nature Of these
has not been disclosed.
Basing its opinion upon the utterances
of President Taft and Mr.. Fielding at
the conference held In Washington some
weeks ago, at which an agreement was
reached by which Canada was to receive
the minimum rates of our tariff act, gov
eminent officials are very confident that
soon after the adjournment of the Cana
dian Parliament, which is looked for IN
about two weeks, the negotiations will
be opened for a treaty between the Unit
ed States under which reciprocal advan-
tases can be secured to both countries.
