one victory along this line already.
Senator Simmons is a small
man, but powerfully built, with
the accumulated dignity in car
riage and demeanor of IL years In
the senate and two in the house.
He has dark hair and moustache,

a man to meet as one finds any
where. He is a southern gentle
man, completely. All of which
tempted some to be surprised
when those who know. him best
made him chairman Of the great
finance committee. But more
and more it will become evident
that they knew what they were
about. The man who can man
age the still hunt well is the man
who manipulates committee and
caucus-and eventually the SEN
ate.
"North Carolina swears by
Senator Simmons and she knows
him well. He is a serious,
thoughtful man; not quick in
coming to conclusions or ex-
pressing them, but with the cour-
age to stand by them when they
are reached. In the course of his
career In the senate he has sew
eral times taken positions well
in advance of the more cautious
and timid and defended them to
victory. He has wei learned the
reputation of being progressive
and has stood on the firing line
in several progressive movements
when the man at the front took
serious chances if he was not
farseeing and se~lf-reliant as well
as fearless. It begins to appear

a tariff reformer. His work in
connection with the framing of
the Democratic tariff bill will go
down in history Is one of the
greatest pieces of legislation ever
enacted, and your North Carolina
senior senator is due the credit

ity and true progressive Democ-
racy of Mr.. Simmons as any

The views Of Senator James
are similar to those heard from
all sides in regard to Senator
Simmons. His handling of the
tariff bill is simply a remarkable
piece Of work; work that North
Carolinians cannot help but feel
proud.
The Independent, a weekly
magazine published in Boston, in
an article published May 22, and
under the caption of "Men We
Are Watching" has the follow
ing to say of Senator Simmons:
eve have learned to stand IN
awe of the powerful finance com
mittee Of the senate. Aldrich
was chairman of it, and a line OF
politicians before him who made
the wheels 60 round right merri-
ly. And now Simmons OF North
Carolina is chairman, and 1T is
within conservative truth to say
that since his appointment
hardly two months ago-he has
been making wheels go round in a
way to startle even some OF the
hardened engineers of the past
He has the ne wtarif on his hands
more of a task, this time, than
has often fallen to the lot of the
seasoned engineers. Not a few
are watching him and wondering
IF he can accomplish it.. SO much
one may say, at least; that ne has
a commanding grip on the ma
icrity of the finance committee
and that he calmly proposes to

tempting one to confidence that
he will do it. He is a strong ad.

(By Parker r. Anderson.)

Washington, May 29.-Those
Democrats and others who Oppos-
ed Senator Simmons during the
late senatorial campaign, as well
as the 10000 majority who
fought for the reelection of Sen
ator Simmons will be pleased and
more than pleased, the extent Of
the pleasure being measured by
the enthusiasm which was mani
tested either for OR against MI.
Simmons to know that North
Carolina's senator is making a
record as a tariff reformer. :
There was much grumbllng
among those who did not really
know Mr.. Simmons when it was
found that he would be elected
head of the all powerful finance
committee. Slime Of them said
he was a protectionist that he
would not revise the tariff in &C
cordance with the Democratic
platform and that he would fol
low in the foot steps of the late
Senator German Of Maryland.
None of these predictions have
come true. Senator Simmons to-
day sits at the head Of the table
IN Democratic tariff making. His
Democratic members who had
been told that he would not stand
"htched'' now realize that they
were mistaken. They, one and
all, declare that his efforts In
blnging about a tariff bill in ac-
cOrdance with Democratic doc

Senator Lees. Overman intro
duced in the U. S. Senate recent
ly," says the Lexington Dispatch,
a resolution Of far-reaching effect.
If it passes it will suspend for two
years President Taft's order put
ting fourth-class postmasters un-
der civil service rules.
He also proposes to make it pos
sible for internal revenue %collec-
tors to Immediately remove depu-
ties, who are now under the civil
service. and appoint in their places
me of their own choice.
Senator Overman believes that
the time has come to remove from
Office some of the 1000 deputy
collectors and thousands of post
masters who received appoint
ment through political pull" and
were covered under the civil SER
vice by the executive proclama-
tions as a reward for campaign
services and to replace them with
other and more competent men.
There are SO deputy collectors
in North Carolina, % being under
the Collector for the Western Dis
trict and 80 under the Collector
for the Eastern District. Their
salaries are between $1,000 and
$1,000 each per annum, with add
ed allowance for travel. All
these men are now protected by
the civil service, but with the pas
sage of the Overman resolution
they can be Immediately dismissed
and replaced with men chosen by
the collectors.
The action of Senator Overman
is not casused by any dissatisfac-
ton with the hardness of Presi-
dent Wilson in revoking the Taft
order, or with the indisposition
Eof Mr.. McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury to substitute democrats
i'll the treasury department. On
the contrary, it is known his ac-
ton has the jtacit approval of the
President, Secretary McAdoo and
Postmaster General Burleson who
have been consulted freely by the
North Carolina Senator. Internal
Revenue Commissioner Osborn is
also known to have discussed on
several occasions within the past
month this question, with Secre-
tary McAdoo.y
The Overman resolution reads
as follows:
Resolved, That2 the other is
sued by President Taft, under
date of October Is, 1912, placing
fourth class postmasters under
Civil Service rules, and tns
same is hereby suspended until
March 10,, 1917.
Resolved, That any officer or
employee Of the government who
may be required by law or regu-
lations to execute a bond to his
superior officer, or any other off
Ger Of the government, to secure a
faithful performance of official
duty, may be appointed by the of

taught US to believe that all the Jews,
brethren of Christ, were to be eternal
" tormented because they crucified
Jesus, In the better light now shining
from one page of the Bible to another,
Gods people see that Messiah pur-
poses that Israel shall obtain Divine
mercy and forgiveness, in the Millen-
NAL Kingdom.
Instead of ~their~being punished with
an eternity of torture. the Lord will be
gracious to them. AS He declares, II
will pour upon them the spirit of
grace and of s~upplication." How beau
tiful, and how much in harmony with
our typical lesson of today! Joseph's
ten brethren apparently typifed Israel,
as the Egyptians typifed the Gentiles,
as Benjamin typified the Great Com
pany, and as Joseph typiied the Mes
| sianic class. the Elect, of whom Jesus
is the Head, and the overcoming
Church the Body.
Joseph Was Long Misunderstood.
Joseph's brethren failed to under
stand him-so great was the difference
between their characters and his. Even
after they had become more sympa-
thetic and tender-hearted, they had
still a s~uficiency of bitterness of spirit
and of animoSity that, had they been
in. Joseph's place. they would have
seen that somehow or other future
punishments would have been melted
out. They were, therefore, surprised

lieve that he near it. They concluded
that he was dealing graciously with
them for his fathers sake.
So we find. years afterward. these
ten brethren were in trepidatiOn lest
Joseph should wreak vengeance upon
them after hat Jacob had died. They
went to him. asking for a continuance
of his forgiveness. But Joseph com.
forted them. and spake kindly unto
them.-Genesis 5O:19-21.
Jacob In Egypt.
Joseph had planned that for the five
remaining years Of the famine, al
least, his father Jacob and indeed the
entire family should come into Egypt
He thought of the district styled Gosh,
en- as very suitable for them. being
cattle-graz ing locality. Pharaoh gave
full consent, and suggested that Egypr
tan wagons be sent to fetch Jacob and
the women and children. -
Joseph prepared d~elicacies for the
journey and little presents, indicative
of his love. He sent a special message
to his father. and urged haste in com
ing into Egypt. Then he kissed then
all goodby. saying:
"FaII Not Out by the Way"
Evidently Joseph vas a keen observ-
er of human nature. Many would have
thought it unnecessary to caution the
brethren against disputes amongst
themselves under all the circum
stances. Many would have said, They
will be so overjoyed that love will pre-
vail amongst them, and no disputes
The contrary, however, is often true
When prosperity comes, there are Op
portunities to feel more or less envy
and selfshnesS.

accept Joseph's words. "See that yt
