Even friendship must be based upon
perception OF common sympathies. Of
common interests. Of common ideals and
OF common purposes. Men cannot be
friends unless they intend the same
things, and the Americans have more
and more realized that in all essential
particulars they intend the same thing
with regard 10 their thought ana their
life and their activities
TO be privileged. therefore, 20 see
this drawing together In friendship and
| communion based upon these solid foun-
dations affords every one who looks oil
with open eyes peculiar satisfaction and
Joy. and II has seemed to me that the
language Of science. the language Of i'm
personal thought, the language OF those
who think not along the lines Of indivld-
ual interest but along what are intended
| to he the direct and searching lines OF
truth itself. WAS a very fortunate Lam
guage in which to express this COM
munity OF interest and OF sympathy.
NO one who reflects upon the prog
| ress OF science or the spread Of the arts
| OF peace or the extension and perfection
of any OF the practical arts OF life can
| fail to see that there is only one atmos- =
| phere that these things can breathe. and
that Is an atmosphere Of mutual conf
uence and OF peace and Of ordered politi-
cal life among the nations.
Amid war and revolution even the
voice OF science must for the most part
be silent. and revolution tears up the
very roots ot everything that makes life
go steadily forward and the light grow
from generation TO generation. For moth

These things were realized with pc
culiar vividness and said with unusual
eloquence In recent conference held IN
this city for the purpose OF considering
the financial relations between the two
| continents OF America. because II was
perceived that financiers can do nothing
without the cooperation OF governments
| and that IL merchants would deal with
one another laws mus, agree with one
| another-that you cannot make laws
| vary without making them contradict
! and that amid contradictory law the
| easy flow OF commercial intercourse is
| impossible. and that therefore a finan-

! inferences OF politics
Politics and Progrrss.
For politics I conceive to be nothing
more than the science of the ordered
progress Of society along the lines OF

admitted the distinction between the
other departments OF life and politics
some people devote themselves so exclu.
sivc!y to politics that they forget there
IL any other part OF life, and as soor
as they do they become that thing which
Is described as mere politician.
Statesmanship begins where these con.
nections, so unhappily lost. are reestab.
lished. The statesman stands In the
midst OF l!fe to interpret life in poltica
action.
THE conference to which have re-
ferred marked the consciousness OF tn.
TWO Americas that economically they
are very dependent upon one another
that they have great deal that II Is
very desirable they should exchange anC
share with one another. that they hav,
kept unnaturally and unfortunately sepa.

and the object Of that conference was I,
ascertain the practical means by whicl
the commercial and practical intercourse
OF the two continents could be quickeneo
and facilitated And where events NOV,
