first place as a part of the national leg islature. It is daily becoming more mani fest that the defeat of the proposal to re- quire the President to choose his cabinet from the majority side of the House of Representatives was a misfortune. If cabinet heads held seats in the House, being members of the majority, we would see senators resigning to seek seats in the House, whereas it is the ambition of every representative to be .'promoted' to the Senate. It Is the reverse in England
 "Jim' Mann Is not Tom Reed. but he Is vast improvement on Serene E. Payne. The first leader of the House the republican party ever had was Lewis D.. Campbell of Ohio, who never ceased to be Whig and never became a fullfedged republican. He died a democrat, by the way, after serving all three parties in Congress He was & very superior man, indeed, and fair match for Clement L.. Vallandigham and Robert C. Schenck, both of whom he beat for Congress and by both of them he was beaten. He was from the Miami valley, and represented the Dayton district

Thomas B. Reed on the minority side the four years, 1S91-95. He again be- came speaker in 1895 and chose Ding ley for leader on the floor. In 1899 Reed retired in disgust. He died In 1902, and 1t is likely that had he lived until 1904 he would have voted for Parker for President. In 1895 Reed took Ding ley. who had never served on the com mittee and made him chairman of ways and means over the head of Sereno E. Payne. That same year he made Joseph G. Cannon chairman of appropriations over the head of David B. Henderson.
 Henderson became speaker In 1899. Ding ley was dead, and Payne was chosen the titular leader, but Cannon was the real leader, and such he continued until he became speaker In 1903 since when Dal- zel has been the real leader, with his authority divided with Tawney. But a new force appeared in Congress in both Houses-the insurgents They were not

 3, 1859, or 16 years. James G. Blaine led the republican side and Garfield fol- lowed. Blaine entered the Senate be- fore the expiration of the term when the House was making inquiry about the "Mulligan letters" and again Gar field took the reins of republican lead ership in the House and held them un- til he was elected President.
 Keller was speaker of the Forty seventh Congress, and for the second time the republican leadership was put in commission. Kelley was chairman of ways and means, but the leaders were Reed Mckinley, Haskell of Kan sas Burrows, Hiscock and some others of lesser note, and the republican lead ership remained in commission the three succeeding democratic congresses, though Reed was the real leader. When Reed became speaker of the Fifty-first Congress Mckinley was made leader on the foor but Mckinley was defeated for the Fifty second Congress and Reed was the republican leader of that body, as he would have been even if Mc- Kinley had retained his seat

Mann voted against the Payne-Aldrich tariff without losing his standing as a regular. As head of a special committee he had investigated the paper and wood pulp items of the tariff and recommends ed cutting the graft out; but it was de- nied him, and like the brave, honest man that he is, he voted against the whole thing.
 It was amusing to see Mann at work when there was a hearing before his com mlttee in contested election case. You could tell how he stood by the way he sailed into those who upheld the party he intended to support. He was upright as a judge on the bench and he thus sought to find any flaw that might lurK in the plea of his man. Though strong partisan he Is a very conscientious man and will do no wrong if he sees 1t.
 Perhaps he is the most indefatigahld worker in either house of Congress. He has a genius for labor and is a glutton in that behalf. As a democrat, I regret that Uncle Joe or Dalzell was not made the republican leader; but it Is better for the country that James R. Mann has the job. MT. Underwood must lose few tricks or the vigilant leader of the minority will cause him to walk the floor at late hours of the night.
 But how can the democrats lose?

consent as years ago Governor Waite s ''blood to the bridles'' speech was drowned in derision.
 It is not supposed that all Americans or that all English people believe in the supreme duty of peacefulness, or in the possibility of carrying out such a compact as Is now in process of discussion. But there are millions of Christian folk Tn these lands and the present plea is that they keep not silence" nor earn the curse of Meroz by refraining from help at the crucial time. Now in the end of the ages a veritable Truce of God may be proclaimed by a united Christian con- viction.
 Here Is an expression of England's well come to the arbitration idea:
 THE DAWN OF PEACE. Yes-"on our brows we feel the breath Of dawn" though in the night we walt An arrow is in the heart of Death,
 A God Is at the doors of Fate! The Spirit that moved upon the Deep Is moving through the minds of men: The nations feel 1t in their sleep,
 A change has touched their dreams
 again.
 Voices, confused and faint arise,
 Troubling their hearts from East to
 West,
 A doubtful light is in their skies,
 A gleam that will not let them rest: The dawn, the dawn Is on the wing, The stir of change on every side, Unsignalled as the approach of Spring, Invincble as the hawthorn tide. Have ye not heard It, far and nigh.s The voice of France across the dark, And all the Atlantic with one cry

Hence, with due diffidence, I venture to suggest to all leaders of Christian forces, of whatever sort or name, the value of this present moment in the worldwide Kingdom of Heaven. Let Bible classes, Sunday schools, young peo- pes societies, however small, speak out beside the great Sunday gatherings of believing men and women, sending word to MT. Taft and to Sir Edward Grey that we American Christians with one accord. are praying for the success of the nego- tiations, because we want peace, and be- cause we regard this as only first step towards international reason in place of bullets, shells and blood
 The conviction and faith of the church ought to be as outspoken as the cynical unbelef of the anti Christian. Opinion is made, and public opinion is itself espe- cially created by the confident speech of men who have convictions. If profession al fighters are to be heard prophesying war and preaching it's naturalness and inevitableness, so much the more neces- sary is it that men of peace should make their voices heard, speaking for peace.
 Is there no danger that the unchris- tianized, the hearts of men who have no sense of peace, should outvote those who know the reality and value of that price less possession? Strident are the voices that talk of strife. Class feeling and class interests, sectional feeling and sec tional interests alike mako war believa- bly, inevitable even in our own borders But what would be the doom of the man who should ceaseessly repeat his convic- tion that bloody class conflict will break out in America? His words would seem so likely to fulfill themselves that he would somehow be silenced by common

singular above all ages of history by es- tablishing now the foundation of Truce of God. The desolating wars of the mid dle ages, cruel, ruthless as they were, compare with modern wars as a piginy with giants. If, therefore, to those local and comparatively insignificant quarrels the church felt 1t not beneath her digni- ty or beyond her power to put an end, why should not the modern church, though apparently less united than that of medieval days, delight to strive for a far more widespread and more perma- nent truce?
 Our present peace Is only a yelled form Of the deadlest fighting, minus the em- bittered feeling that would spring up If we could actually see our foes. The cost of maintenance is not the chief evil, great as that Is, destroying wealth that has far better uses. But the martial spirit spread through our population by the existing army and navy is a most real and alarm ing fact. We here in America find the existence of his zeal for fight How much more does every leading country of Europe feel that same spirit? You cannot dedicate your boys to the business and art of war without creating in them Q thirst for battle
 Here then comes the mission of the church today, her re-dlscovery of interna- tional authority By the church I mean of course the whole sum and substance of Christian conscience end life, ire spective of ecclesiastical limitation CT jealousy. No one will suspect the present writer of leaning towards that exploded phantasy, a state church. In America there is, hope, little danger of experi- ments in ths direction. But there is a vast region of human interest in which the church has a power which she has

rage. Hence the democratic party was drafted to the service of making an hon est tariff. Thus far they have done ad- mirably in the House and blundered de- plorably in the Senate.
 Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood have shown a capacity for leadership that few suspected them of possessing. They have made no mistakes. Indeed, the g. O. D. seems to have acquired the art of bundering, so long a democratic accomplishment I hope to say deal about the democratic leadership in the House before the session expires. and I want also to talk some words with the learned Thebans on the democratic side of the Senate. They need it, that is. some of 'em.
 No interest 'ever bought a seat in Congress for James R. Mann. He is ab- solutely incorruptible and capable of dis charging with credit to himself and profit to the republic any position in the civil service, even the presidency itself. He IS not brilliant or a showy man. His mind Is not nimble. He is no orator, but he Is honest, courageous, energetic, industrious and indefatigable. Besides, he is a man of talent, and since Burton of Ohio Is gene to the Senate, Mann is the most capable leader on the republican side. Perhaps Dalzell is an abler man. but he would never herd the insurgents.

forgotten to use, at least until quite re- cently I mean the region of information al relations.
 It has been illustrated, however, during the strained relations of Germany and England on several recent occasions. The clergy of these lands, Romanist and Protestant, have achieved a new Catholi- cism in their activity for better under. standing. Many of my readers will have noticed the magnificent reception recently given in London to Harnack, the famous master of New Testament criticism, and early ecclesiastical history who became the spokesman of German Christians to- ward English Christians. His address was as magnificent as the opportunity. Lutheran and Catholic in Germany, as well as the leaders of the smaller groups of Christian believers there, are creating in their own people saner, more patient more gracious attitude towards their cousins across the North Sea. And sim ilarly an enormous volume of influence is being developed by the English churches of all denominations, steadily telling for brotherhood, confidence, understanding,
 instead of this nervous excitability and perhaps overbearing insolence toward legitimate German aspirations.
 Years ago MT. Clevelands government steered close to conflict with Great Britain. The surprise of the English people was a very pained surprise. But the breach was healed chiefly by the in- intense Christian sentiment which, promptly found expression, on both sides of the Atlantic.
 But here Is no sudden cause of fear or of fighting. It is an astonishing oppor- tunity rather of contributing mass of popular conviction and of creating the first international bond of peace. The

Yet Stevens was never chairman of ways and means, but he wassmaster of them all-Morrill, Love- joy, Washburn, Logan, Butler, Bingham, Boutwell,, Conkling, Blaine, Kelley, Col fax, Julian, Schenck and the others. He used to shake his long, bony finger and say: 'I know every miserable coward here and every contemptible peculator there," pointing to the Senate. That was the era of reconstruction. He died in 1868 with a threat to vote for Seymour and Blair if the republican party dared to pay the bonds in coin. He would have been the head of the green back party had he lived and been physically capable.
