past is flashed. The tariff bill is
no longer matter for discussion.
The rules are not now al issue. Our
problem is the redemption of the
pledges Of the party to the people. "
This is the situation which confronts
the Republican party. Every mem
Der OF it in the executive and
legislative branches Of the govern
msnt has an interest IN securing
prompt aud hearty action ia favor
of the promises made IN the platform
Of .1oo8. Mr.. Taft has shown a
good deal of earnestness in bringing
The insurgents and tbs regulars into
harmony on the essentials of the
situation. In one degree or another
the political fate of every Republi-
can in public station will depend on
the result of the election which will
take place next November. II a
Democratic House should be chosen
to serve duriag the second half OF
Mr.. Taft's term, he would be
seriously hampered in his activities,
some of the party's promises in 10 8
would necessarily fail, and the
country as well as the party would
suffer. President and Congress,
insurgent and regular, have an
interest in averting such disaster.
The only way In which it can be
averted is by having the party pull
together lntelllgently and persistently
n favor of the programme which its
formulated in 1908.
4 reverse for the Republicans for
Congress this year would make the
outlook for President and Congress
wo years hence dark. Here are
he reasons why the President and
he Republican leaders in Senate
nd House are asking unity in their
'a:ty. The party is greater than
NY Of its members, in or out of
ffice, and it demands that all
rrangles between them be dropped,
nd that they unite in pushing
& publican policies to Enactment

PEACE AMONG THE
REPUBLICANS.

established among the Republican
in Congress will not surprise TIL
country. Peace is just the thinl
that has been expected. 1nsurgent
as we'll as regulars entered the House
caucus three days ago. They viii
enter that which will be held day
or two hence. In the recent caucus
the party selected coAmittee to
manage the congressional campaign
of 1910. In the enc which IS just
ahead of US the Republican mem
bers of the House on the joint
committee'of investiga,i II into the
Pinchot Ballinger matter will be
named. Already the Senate's mem
bers have been decided upon. They
are Nelson of Minnesota, Root Of
New York, Sutherland of Utah,
Flint of California, Paynter of
Kentueky and Hughes of Colorado.
Paynter and Hughes are Democrats.
The House Democratic caucus has
selected James of Kentucky and
Rainey of Illinois as the Democratic
members of its chambers delegation
ON the committee. The present
ind cations are that the Republican
House members of the committee
will be Olmstsad of Pennsylvania,
Mccall Of MASSACHUSETTS, Stevens
Of Minnesota and Madison of Kan
sas. Madison is aa insurgent. All
the others are regulars. Probably
Nelson will be the Chairman Of the
committee.
No qaeo,t.ion is before Congress
on which Republican rupture can
reasonably be precipltated. All
elemeats of the party are repre-
sented, according to their relative
strength, on the Pinchot- Balllhger
committee. In fact, the insurgents,
by getting one out of the four
Republican members OF their cham
Der, have a much greater strength,
propertionately than they have in
the House itself. The danger of a
"whilewash" for Ballinger in the
investigation is SO remote that it no
longer attracts serious atteEtion. So
far as the couRtry can Judge by
what it knows of all the members
who are named for places on the
committee, the inquiry will be
comprehensive and honest. A.
elements have an interest in learning
Abe truth. The truth is what the
country asks for, irrespective OF the
official or the ex-official which 1t
may hit. The Republican party of
the country wants the inquiry to be
complete and to be impartial, and
il alss wants 1t to be pushed with
Sufficient vigor to have the report

The whole wrangle betweea Il e
ex-forestry chief and the secretary
of the interior must be wiped off the
slate before the congressional cane

allowed to obtrude itself into the
canvass. The country will have
weightler matters to think about at
that time. In the personal fortunes
Of tn. principal disputants not one
Republican out of a hundred has

The Brahnan Funeral Pyre.

After the body of a Brahman has
been amounted with sesamum oil the
two toes are bound together and the
two thumbs. 1t is then lashed to a
litter made Of two long parallel poles,
TO which are fastened even transverse
pieces of wood. The shroud is very
simple, a large piece of cloth wrapped
round the body and bound with ropes
of straw. If the dead Brahman leaves
a will his face Is not covered; other
wise the shroud is brought up over the
head. The burning ground. or CHAT, Is
usually near a river, that those who
have taken part in the ceremonies may
purify themselves as quickly and as
easily as possible. Before erecting the
funeral pyre a shallow pit is dug and
partially filed with dry wood; the body
is covered with %splinters of dry wood
and sprinkled with panchagaria, an
tniammable liquid, and placed on the
pyre and covered with branches and
roots, like a hut. The nearest relative
or heir then takes Il lighted taper and
sets fire to the -Four corners OF the pile
and leaves at once to perform the cere-
mony of publication. The carriers, be-
ing Of the lowest caste, remain until
the body is entirely consumed.

L.ava Honor and ohay.

Is The controversy about including the
word "obey" In the marriage vow is
probably as old as the marriage cere-
mony itself. When Marion Harland's
parents were married In 1925 (as she
tells us In her autobiography the bride
had 'laughingly threatened that she
would not promise to obey and that'a
scene would follow the use Of the OBJ
noxious word in the marriage service.
The young divine, with this in mind or
in a fit of observation-disclosures or of
stage fright, actually bfundered out,
Love, honor-and obey In all things
consistent" The costumes worn on
this occasion were hardly as modern
as the unfortunate amendment. ""The
bride wore a soft sheer india muslin,
a veil falling TO the hem of the gown
and white broeade slippers embroid-
cred with faint blue flowers. The
bridegroom's suit was of fine blue
cloth with real silver. buttons. His
feet were clad In white stockings and
low shoes with wrought silver buc-
kles."

Amusins and Pathetic Story of Com

An amusing and pathetic story is
told of Benjamin Constants first pic
ture to attract attention. 1t was called
TOO Late and represented Fortune
and Glory visiting an artist Just as he
had breathed his last. The artist was
lying on the bed. The figure of Death
stood near the door through which
Fortune. carrying a box Of money. and
Glory, bearing ~laurels, had just en-.
tered.
The artist received many letters
from those who had seen the painting.
One was written by a nrofessorlof mu,
sic, an old man. who expressed In
touching Eprds the emotion he had
felt at the Sight Of the artists work.
He asked Constant to visit and talk
to him about TOO Late"
The invitation was accepted, but as
soon as the old professor saw the art.
list he uttered an ejaculation of sur
prise and anger. "Why, you are quite
a youth" he exclaimed. II thought
you were old and. like myself. had
spent your life in vain epdeavor to OBJ
tain recognition of your abilities. l
conceived that picture to be the last
despairing cry of a man as unfortu-
nate as l am. I find you are quite
young and your eyes are full Of hope.

that you leave this house immediate
