There Will Be No Adjourn
 men Before July |5 SAYS REPUBLICAN WHIP
Program in Both Houses For Week - Statehood Bill Suddenly Brought to Front to Be Used As Oil On Troubled Waters

Washington. May 22-Shivcrs have been chasing themselves up and down the spinal columns of members who must face contests in their dis tricts if they come back to con gress ever since John Dwight. the re- publican whip of the house. issued a prediction that the session would not adjourn before July r.. The contest in the house over q s250.0OO appro- priation of the sundry civil bill to eX tend the scope of the tariff board has been much more stubbornly contested than was anticipated. The democrats opposed the item on the ground that the results of the investigations by the board should be reported direct to congress instead of to the president.
 The sundry civil bill has been used as a vehicle to convey more campaign speeches under government frank throughout the country than any meas ure that has been before congress.
 The postal bank bill which has been reported from the committee on post offices will be ready for the republican caucus on Wednesdav. Practically all the republicans of the house have signed the call. II is not likely, there fore. that there will be a division over the bill along regular and insurgent lines. IL is more likely that il will be between the eastern and western mem bers. The caucus will take the form of the committee of the whole ma jority membership Of the house. and it is probable that many changes will be made in the bill.
 Many western members believe that 21I2 per cent of the deposits. as the bill requires. to be kept in the local banks is too small. and that that pro- vision of the bill that passed the sen ate vii be more effective to keep de- posits in the communities where they are collected. The westerneis charge that the bill as drafted is bankers bilT' and that under its operations the community will be depleted of its money.
 When the caucus is agreed upon a bill which there is reason .o believe can be put through the house the ma jority probably will endeavor to bring in q rule with view of passing the bill without amendment
 The insurgent republicans are ex- pected to resist such d rule on the ground that they are opposed to Legislation in secret" as they charac- terize the caucus method
 After reposing on the senate calendar for many weeks the statehood bill has suddenly been called to take an active part in bringing the opposing factions together on the railroad bill. The regulars have conceded that they need democratic votes to pass the adminis- tration measure in d form satisfactory to Mir. Taft. Many of the contested features of the bill meet the favor of the democrats. but they cannot over look the prospect of bargaining that the statehood bill shall receive early consideration if they aid the republican majority in passing the railroad bill.
 AIessrs. Elkins and Aldrch are hope full of getting a vote on the railroad is no certainty that they will succeed

Our Three.Fold Gospel.

The Gospel of Jul Lord Jesus
Christ is q three-fold Gospel. You
all know that gospel" mean "glad
tidings" or good news" There are
three parts to the good news.
che first part is Christ Tor us on
the cross. That God took every one
of your sins, and every One Of mine,
and laid them on Jesus Christ. 80
that to-day there Is not a cloud be-
tween us and God.
The second part of the Gospel is
Christ in us, the secret Of e. VIC
torious life. There is no use If our
trying to initiate Jesus Christ, but
God through the Holy Spirit forms
the living Christ in us, so that Christ
in us lives out His life day by day.
The third part of the Gospel Is
Christ with us. He is not with US
fully low. He is with U.S., Of course,
in the presence and power of the
Spirit. But the Lord Jesus left this
earth. He is now our absent Lord,
but He is coming back again. We
are going to have Him with us, deliv-
ering us from the very presence OF
sin.-R. A. Torrey.

Civilization "Soused."

have read your quotations from
the address delivered recently by Dr.
r. Alexander MacNichol, and am
puzzled at the use of the word "pes-
simistic" in describing his sentiments.
Has any one proved that DR.. Mac
Nichol Is wrong in his statements?
There are any number of people who
believe him to be right, and If he has
merely stated a fact why should he
be called pessimistic2
The word optimism seems, through
m usage, to mean a white
washed, rose-tinted, sugar-coated de-
scription Of the bitter things OF life
which some men absolutely refuse TO
see, and pessimism, instead OF stand
Ing for the distorted vision of a torpid
liver, Is utilized wherever a man OBJ
serves actual conditions and describes
them exactly as they are, with no at
tempt either to gloss or. darken them.
Apparently no two words in the
English language are more abused
than the two in question, and no IN
telligent thinker is more wronged by
the public than when he is called a
peSSlmlSI LUZ MS1Siy pSinS 1A
teller. :.
In view of these facts Is 1t not pos
sible that DR.. MacNichol's suggestion
that the Government should use Its
police power for the destruction OF
alcoholism Ito save future genera
tions of school children) is something
more than pessimism?
Regardless of the fact that the
writer will also be called a pessimist
I have no hesitation in saying that
civilization is "soused" at the pres
ent time, and unless the Government
soon reforms itself and it's people
there will be little vitality or longeV:-
ity left for coming generations

Our Fathers World,

He who thinks deeply lives deeply
We can go through life drifting along
on the surface of things, never know
ing all the sweep and force of the
mighty stream that bears humanity
onward. But the men and women
who live deeply, whose thought is
serious, who have in more or less de-
gree the consciousness that they are
here for a purpose, are living with
God; even now they are in the eternal
order. In all true men and women
that is the growing thought of the
years.
AS a fact we find that conviction
stronger among the aged, when the
failure of the body seem we'll nigh
complete. The outward man per-
ishes, but tile inward man is renewed
day by day-yes, renewed in the pro-
found and inspiring and blessed
thought that in spite of all the sin
and suffering it is still Gods world
which He is guiding to some divine
end.-Rev. George D. Latimer.

Tucked Blouse.

The simple tucked blouse is always
a dainty and attractive one. This
model can be made from any mate
rial that is adapted to lingerie treat
ment, and that means the thin silks
and light weight woods as we'll as
muslins. 1t can be made with high or
square neck, and the square neck can
be finished with banding or with a
frill or in any way to suit the fancy.
Mercerized batiste with banding of
lace is the material illustrated, but
muslins include embroidered and
openwork sorts and all kinds of fancy
effects, while silks that are adapted
to such a model meal foulards, India
silk and a variety of silk and cotton
mixtures. The blouse suits the odd
waist and the gown equally well.
The waist is made with front and
backs. 1t is tucked to form a yoke
and closed invisibly at the back. The
sleeves are in n piece each gathered
into cuffs, and these cuffs "a be
made deeper or shorter according to

Reason ard Faith.

It swell to bear in mind that most
of the so-called modern" difficulties
of belief are by no means new, but,
have at recurring periods been put
prominently forward by thinkers
lost and gone" Whatever may be
the difficulties of intellectual appre-
hension, "belief would"-as has been
finely said-"cease to be itself, We're
it capable of mathematical demon
stration."
There are regions into which rea-
son cannot penetrate, and then faith
must go forward alone with its torch.
TO light the way" The history OF
reason shows conclusively that every
attempt to make it the only light or
humanity has failed. You may
drive faith out by the door, but it.
will return through the window.
Blessed are they that have not seen,
and yet have believed" (Johh 20:.

BITTER WAR ON INTEMPERANCE
SOLDIERS FIGHTING THIS CURSE
GREATLY CHEERED.
The Consumption OF Liquor.


The American Prohibition Year
Book for 1910 is just to hand and
gives some interesting statistics on
the consumption of liquor in this
country as compared with the United
Kingdom. In 1889 the drink bill Of
this country was s840,000,0 900 as
against s750,000,0 900 for Great Brit
ain and Ireland; an expenditure Of
$14 a head against $40 a head. In
1899 our bill was $1,000, 600, 900
against 5000, 100000 for Britain; or
s14.40 a head against s23 a head.
In 1908 this country spent $685.
900 900 for liquor against $800,000,-
900; or 1922 a head against SIS a
head.
For the last ten years, owing large
ly to the increasing excise tax, the
English per capita consumption has
been steadily going down. So much
so that the nation Is now saving an
nually 100000 600 a year as COM
pared with 1899. On the other hand,
the consumption of liquor steadily
increased up to 1907, when it reached
the high water mark of $~1,757,O00,-
900.
The only encouraging figure in the
long table, as far as this is concerned,
is the expenditure for 1908, which
shows a decrease Of SS0,000,0O0.
Unfortunately, that is just one-half
the increase which took place during
the year Immediately preceding. 1t
is to be regretted that the Year Book
does not give the figures for 1909,
as they are elsewhere stated to be
much more promising.
Of course, the above figures are all
only estimates. It is impossible to
get at the exact fact. But they are
perhaps close enough for the COM
parison based upon them.

gathered into cuffs or of plain ones
of the two-piece sort, and these latter
can be either cut tofull or three-quar-
ter length as preferred. Pongee is
the material illustrated, ard the coat
matches tlc skirt, but it will be found
available for all suiting and all cloak
ing materials. Chanticleer red and
royal blue serge are much liked for
the separate wraps of mountain and
seashore use, and the model suits
such treatment as well as it does the
costume and more prosaic coats of
street wear. Any contrasting mate
rial can be used for collar and cuffs,
but this coat is finished with MESA
line in matching color. Natural COL
ored pongee with revers and cuffs OF
powered cretonne would make an at
tractive summer coat. Small women
will find the model an excellent one.
The coat is made with fronts and
back. 1t can be cut off and made
somewhat shorter if preferred. The
full sleeves are made in one piece
each, gathered at upper and lower
edges, but the plain sleeves are cut
with upper and under portions. The
collar is scanned to the neck edge.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (sixteen years.
is five and a half yards twenty-seven,
three and three-eighth yards forty
four or three yards fifty-two inches
wide with three-quarter yard twenty
one for collar and cuffs.

to hurl a silver dollar at a china plate.
If he breaks the plate he may dance
again. In any event, the bride keeps
the money. When the proceeds were
counted at daylight the bride had six
hundred silver dollars. AS some

TouueS Hang Low.

The toQues that hang low over the
right eye ought to look very ridicu-
lous, but do not. Possibly this is be-
cause they are what milliners call
''well-worn," that is, balanced to the
exactitude of a hair and suited in
character to the rest Of the toilette.
But what would be thought of a cook
if on her day off she were to return
in one of these? The policeman on
duty would certainly keep his eye
upon her.

One of the new touches on lovely

hlmy chiffon in the most enhancing
shade of pale green. These sashes
are draped and festooned about the
bodice of the frock and end in long
streamers finished with silk or beaded
fringe.

Couture STYLES.

Among the minor essentials of the
present couture is that an inch of hair

down at the very edge of the line of
growth.
