LL0yD-CEORGE ON NATIONAL HONOR Speech Taken as Meaning Moroccan Situation Is
 Serious

London, July 21.-Addressng a banquet given by the bankers of London tonight David Lloyd-George, chancellor Of the ex- chequer referred to Great Britain's con- tinually growing prosperity, which he said, could only be arrested by dis turbance of the worlds peace. There fore he was ready to make great sac- rifices to preserve peace and would re- joice at the success of the arbitration ne- gotiations with the United States, but, he added, it. was essential that Great Britain at all hazards, should maintain her place and prestige among the great powers. - If a situation were forced upon Great Britain where peace could only be pre- served by the surrender of the position she had won by centuries of heroism . and achievement, by allowing herself to be treated where vital interests were con cerned as though she were of no account in the cabinet of nations, then, he said, e emphatically, peace at that price would be humiliation. intolerable for great country like England to endure.
 National honor," said the chancellor, lis no party question. The security of our international trade is not party question. The peace of the world is more likely to be secured if all nations realize fairly what the conditions of peace must be-"
 The speech made deep impression on his hearers. David Lloyd-George sell dom makes an incursion into the domain of foreign politics. His audience, there fore, interpreted the speech to mean that the Moroccan situation is serious enough to have decided the cabinet to depute the chancellor to take this opportunity of affirming the British standpoint.
 London, July 22.-The liberal morning papers which refer ito the fact that Chan ,. cellor Lloyd-George in his address last . night read the important passages slowly - and carefully from prepared manuscript, regard his utterances as the embodiment of the cabinets views and it is not doubted that it was hint to Germany with regard to Morocco. The papers ex- . press the hope that this word in sea- son. may prevent the situation, arising through Germany's demands, from becom- ing critical.

pose a measure in that interest as a di- rect tariff measure. He objected to the reciprocity bill, he said, because the news papers would get free paper at the ex- pense of the farmers whose duties on their products would be removed.
 President Taft was severely criticised by MT. LaFollette, who said the Presi- dent was the first to ignore, discredit and repudiate findings of his own tariff board. He quoted from speech by the President in which he said there was no substantial difference in the cost of pro- duction of agricultural products between this country and Canada. Thereby said Mir Lar ollette. "he corftradicted find ngs of his own tariff board.''
 Senator LaFollette charged the demo- crats with trying to keep the tariff alive as an issue for the next campaign. Tt is common talk on this floor pri- vately between senators,' he said, that that is the reason why all tariff reduc- tions amendments should be voted down. "
 He declared the democrats knew Presi- dent Taft would not dare veto the reef procty bill, even If tariff reductions were coupled with 1t.
 After running the whole gamut of is sues, the President has at last struck one that is popular said LaFollette. He will not abandon 1t merely because some of the tariff reductions, which the people demand, are attached to 1t. Noth- ing could tempt the Persident~ to aban- don reciprocity.
 He declared the democrats knew this. He said the democrats proposed to pass separate tariff bills which the President would veto so they might have an issue in the next campaign.
 "The people," said he, twill put on you democrats the responsibility for fail ling to secure high duties." | Senator Smith of Michigan also spoke against reciprocity.

 The Senate finance committee finally reported the bill back to the Senate June 13 without recommendation. Since June II the bill has been continuously before the Senate as it's unfinished bus mess and attempts to amend 1t or to bring about its defeat have been con- sistently unsuccessful.
 Assailing the press of the United States for it's support of the Canadian reciprocity bill Senator La'olletse of Wisconsin made his closing spech against the bill in the Senate
 He expressed the belief that newspapers would suffer in loss of influence for the support they have given to legislation in which he said they have direct money interest,"
 .The press has failed in it's duty to the public in regard to this legislation he said.
 Mir LaFolette referred Ho testimony given before the finance committee Of the Senate that newspaper organization has sent out communication to many papers urging them to treat lavorably the reciprocity agreement He deplored this attitude of the newspapers.

CREATURES OF HABIT.

AS large a city as Indianapolis has
closed it's postoffice for the delivery of
mail on Sunday and il is the policy OF
the postal department To encourage
\ closed Sunday in every city in which
public sentiment will stand for 1t. Al
ready in several large towns in Iowa
the postmasters are taking a referen-
dunn among patrons as to closing the
postoffices on Sunday, so ii may be
expected to be up to the patrons of
other offices almost any day.
Going to the postoffice for mail on
Sunday is largely a habit with our
people. Business men as class all
too often get into a 'rut. They apply
thems elves to routine until tteir lives
in fact become little more than fur-
ried pursuit of themselves around II
circle Men will acquire the habit of
walking down town after supper to
loaf on the street corner or in drug
store until they go about it automatic
cally They make the trip without
u
even when they must stand around al
most alone But SO set in their habit
do they become that they have to make
the usual trip even when sickness or
unusual distress needs them at home.
So it is with the average mans rit-
grmage TO the postofice on Sunday
He goes after his mail simply from
force of habit Often he takes it to
his office or his home unopened. Sci
dom is anything received so important
that it must be attended to that day.
II he could but break himself OF a
seneeless habit Of this kind and actu-
ally forget his business on Sundays he
would open himself to new rays OF
light In his short life. He would ac-
quire an interest in things outside Of
his rut. He would refresh his mind as
well as his body and he would obtain
an actual vacation of one Gay in seven
and return to his work on Monday
morning with that renewed vigol
which every man admits comes from 8
vacation but which so few men ever
actually realize because they think thai
they are too busy to take vacations.
Study this Sunday postoffice habit
and cut it out if it is nothing more
than a habit.
