Hamlin Loses His Coat.

q Congressman Hamlin lost his over
coat the day congress convened. After
the house had adjourned he stepped
into the Democratic cloakroom to get
his coat, which had been left in
charge of trusted Ethiope. The
black man got a large coat and start
ed to put It on Hamlin, who protested
that it was not his. Deed, marster,

Haralin donned the coat and walked
out. He was met at the door by Con-
gresham Rucker, who greeted him
thus: Hello, parson. Where do you
preach tonight II don't preach at
all" said Hamlin, and. this coat amt
mine. The niger says it is mine,
and Tn going to wear it this time,
but never saw it before. However,
it is a lot better than my own coat,
and I'm wondering what the other
fellow is saying"

IS cHRIsT'S REAL MESSAGE
"Love and Live for Others" the Key.
note Of All the Teachings of
the Master.
by love serve one another

by love serve one another."-Gal
5:13.
One of the wisest Of the ancient
Greeks declared that the free man
was he who existed for himself and
not, like a slave, for the sake of an
other. How sharply this contrasts
with the essential teachings of the
worlds greatest religious leader; they
who find the full and free life must
learn to live, not for themselves, but
for others.
We have been for centuries burying
the simple teachings Of the prophet of
Nazareth under survivals of ancient
superstitions and masses of philosoph-
fcal sutlety and speculation. Now
when his real message is spoken it
sounds so strange we call it new re-
ligion. The doctrine that the greatest
need of the universe is that men
should love one another and live for
one another has been neglected so
long that it appears to be wholly new.
Your historians point to this and
your philosophers to that as the es-
sential article of Christian faith, but
it is neither in historical records nor
in theological formulas. The one
thing that marks and makes the true
man in religion is that he has learned
that life Is just the chance to love and
to give life away. His faith is right
who Is right with his fellows.

NO WOMEN ON THE STAMPS
Post Office Department Thus Far Has
Ignored D. A. RS Request for
Honor to Sex.

Some time ago the Daughters Of
the American Revolution submitted to
Postmaster General Hitchcock in
Washington a request that the like
ness of Martha Washington be placed
on one Of the United States postage
stamps. The request was based on
the ground that women have a right
to such recognition and that Martha
Washington is the logical character to
receive the honor.
1t was suggested that the then
proposed new 12-cent stamp, designed
to cover the increased registry fee
and the ordinary letter postage for use
in the registry division of the postal
service, furnished the desired oppor-
tunity to- honor the wife of our first
president. However, a brief bulletin
was posted in the post Office depart
ment to the effect that the Houdon
bust of George Washington would be
placed on this issue of stamps, no
comment being made regarding the
recognition of woman. Inquiry at the
bureau of engraving and printing and
In several branches of the department
revealed an entire dearth of informa-
ton as to why the suggestion of the
D. A. R. was not adopted. Nobody
could be found who would admit the
slightest knowledge of the subject.
The inquiry still remains unan-
sWered. A bust of Martha Washing
>ton appeared On the four-cent stamp
for long time. Former Postmaster
General Meyer ordered that it's use
be discontinued.

Suffraqs of Three Kinds.

Three kinds of suffrage are involved
in the proposition to allow the people
of the District of Columbia the vot.
ing privilege. First, there is the cues.
ton of allowing men to vote, and in
this will be involved voting of the ig.
norant negroes. Any attempt to al.
low suffrage in the District will have
to be considered On basis which will
allow the blacks to vote and virtually
control. There would also arise the
question as to whether women should
vote. 1t SO happens that in Wash.
ington there are more women with
large property interests than in anv
other city of like size in the country

WHITE SLAVE FIGHT
1ANN AND Bennett PREPARED
FOR A BATTLE.
Ballinaer-Pinchot Quarrel Is Another
Matter Which Washington Expects
Will Eniven the Proceedings
in Congress Soon.

Government officials, statesmen and
the people of Washington who pay
close attention to the doings of con-
gress, now that the holidays are over
and the lawmakers are down to solid
work, are looking for a pretty fight
when Representative James r. Mann
Of Chicago, chairman of the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, and Representative Bennett of
New York, representing the house
committee on immigration, attempt to
settle the jurisdiction of their respec-
tive committees over the two white
slave" bills now pending in that body.
Mr.. Bennett had access to the rec
ords of the immigration commission
for ammunition for his campaign,
while Mr.. Mann was originally the po-
Utica sponsor of District Attorney
Edwin w. Sims Of Chicago, who has
done more than any one man to make
1t hot for the white slave" dealers.
Inasmuch as both bills introduced con-
tain in them not only a reference to
violations of law relating to interstate
commerce, but also to immigration,
Speaker Cannon will have a nice point
to decide
incidentally, Mr.. Bennett has played
his cards well to date. Not only did
he secure unanimous report from
the immigration committee for his bill,
but to attain this end he obtained the
collaboration Of Representative A. j.
SABBATH, a Democrat of Chicago, from
whose district the main testimony
about white slavery" was produced
in the recent trial of former Police
Inspector Mccain in Chicago. On
the other hand, there probably will be
a minority report in Mr. Mann's COM
mittee from the Democrats. The main
danger in the situation lies in the pos
sibility that the two proponents of the
bills. now on the calendar may get into
such wrangle that neither bill will
pass. Mr.. Mann is a notorious scrap
per for his rights, and Mr. Bennett is
somewhat OF scrapper himself.
There is likely to be a conflict in
the senate over the resolution to
investigate the Ballinger-Pin row.
Under ordinary circumstances it might
be assumed that the proper committee
to conduct this investigation is that
of public lands, of which Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota is the

The Divine Voice.

All through history the divine voice
that spoke to Samuel has been speak
ing to human hearts everywhere. We
of to-day wonder why it is that a
poem or a song or phrase lodges
in the memory and clings tenaciously,
making its appeal to our hearts. We
wonder why tender recollection out
of the past should come to us in a
moment Of sore temptation, lending It's
strength to our weakened resolution.

On the other hand, there is the SEN
ate committee on conservation of the
national resources, of which Senator
Joseph M. Dixon of Montana is the
chairman. AS at present constituted
the public lands committee contains
eight Republicans, every one of whom
comes from west of the Mississippi
river, and six of the eight come from
the mountain states. On the conserya-
ton committee, six of ten Republican
members come from west of the Mis-.
s1ssippi, five of whom are from the
mountain states. In either event. It
is plain to be seen that all of the Ills

Already members Of congress are
beginning to figure on the date of the

unite in saying privately that upon
the record of this congress depends, in
a large degree, the probable political
complexion Of the next house.
complexion of the next house. Repub-
lican leaders have no hesitancy in say
ing that record will have to be made
before adjournment, both for congress
and the Taft administration, if either
is to be of assistance to the other
after the congressional elections next
year. 1t is somewhat astounding to
hear the comments on this situation.
IF President Taft were to write me
a letter of recommendation for re-
election to-day" said a Republican
member of congress from middle
west state, lit would defeat me. There
is much good in the Taft administra-
ton if it can only be written on the
statute books before this session of
congress quits
There has not been a time in recent
years when Republican members of
congress were so fearful, individually,
of their chances of reelection. On the
ether hand, the Democrats freely ad-
nit that the political situation is ia
vorable to them, if they can make the
most of it.
Nor have the Republicans forgotten
the saying which was conveyed from
the White House to the capitol last
winter, just after the house had taken
action unfavorably to Mr.. Roos evelt's
secret service message.
There will be a lot of members of
congress who will be looking for let
tiers of Endorsement from me two years
hence, who will not get Them" was
the remark Mr.. Roosevelt was alleged
to have dropped at that time.
