Just what position this congress is going to take upon that vicious prac- tice of attaching riders to important appropriation bills was possibly in- dicated by the action of the rules com- | mittee in the house of representatives in blocking the Shackleford road bill as a rider to the postoffice appropria- tion bill. There has been at- tempted in this Dbill two ef- forts which under all circumstances should be made to stand upon their own feet. It is nothing new to en- deavor to obtain legislation by the rider method, when it is realized that but little chance exists for its passage in any other way. There are many precedents which encourage the pur- suit of such a course and hold out hope for inclusion of the rider rather than turn dpwn the important bills which must of necessity be passed. It is therefore the vital appropriation bills to which the rider experts devete their chief attention, and on which re- liance is placed for carrying such un- desirables, and many times hidden leg- islation into effect. As an enticement for the throwing of the assistant postmasterships into the spolls barrel privilege was sought 0 attach to the postoffice bill a propo- sition for good roads throughout the country carrying a large appropria- tion. How effective this would be in overcoming the declaration of the pres- ident against the spoils plan is diffi- cult of estimation, but it deserves to be ruthlessly cast aside as it has been. Whatever merits such a plan has they should be considered separately and that idea as well as that comcerning assistant postmasters should be made to provide its own supoort. The chance teo kill the rider habit should never be over- looked. THE JAPANESE QUESTION. Japan may have troubles of her own at home but it is made evident that it is not proposed to allow her pro- tests to this country concerning the rights of the Japanese in the United States to be disregarded, or to accept as satisfactory what to them is very unsatisfactory. The address of the Japanese foreign minister dispels any doubt which may exist in regard to this matter and’revives a subject which has been ‘allowed to simmer along without progress for some time. even to the point of being considered a closed incident, That Secretary Bryan ehould look upon the outcome optimistically indi- cates that he sees a way for the bridging of the difficulties which of course involve the existing feeling in California as well as the Japanese side of the question. From Baron Ma- kino’s statement the motes of protest have failed to obtain a solution and another way must be adopted for ac- complishing the desired ends. What this new way will be is not revealed, but it undoubtedly refers to efforts being made for a new treaty that the deeired adjustment can be accomplished in that manner. This means it is a question for diplomacy to handle and that Japan will en- deavor to secure through that method the rights for her countrymen which have been so long sought and equally as long opposed. It will mean a lengthly considera’:sn of the Japanese question, but one which ought not to disturb the friendly relations of the nations any more than in the past. FLOOD PREVENTION, It is not to be wondered at that the legislature of the state of Ohio took up as one of the first matters ‘before the new session the problem of floods. That state has sufféred to an enormous extent from the inunda- tion which 18 bound to linger long in the memory of the people of that sec- tion of the country and the most nat- ural thing is that a determined effort should be made to prevent a recur- rence if such a thing is possible. The need of exerting every effort in the way of prevention having been so re- cently demonstrated it will prove one of the greatest alds to unanimity of action, Bver since the flood of ten months ago & study has been made of the situation and the result is that the proposed legislation which represenis the ideas of engineers, lawyers and the reference board of the legisfature plans to attack the problem by districts wherein the governing body will be given large powers for the regulation, widening and deepening of stream ghannsels, reclaiming wet and pver- “flowed land where possible and im- proving the drainage. Those in charge will have power to condemn lands, is- sue bonds and exercise police pewer, subject to court review. ‘While stimulated by the flood and primarily for the purpose of preventing others such an effort 1s bound to serve & two-fold purpose for much valuable reclamation is bound to result from the pursult of such a policy, while the opportunity of Increasing water power privileges is also offered. They will thus be getting the benefit in the near future as well as in the uncertain time of flood. . THE UNEQUIPPED FREIGHTER. Not g little worry was occasioned by the .on-appearance of the long over- due Italian steamship Oceano which was towed into port with a crew of fifty men after having been picked up 400 miles off the coast in dire straits. Her coal supply was exhausted, her boiler tubes were disabled and she ‘was badly battered and helpless. If there was any condition aside from disaster which was needed to demonstrate the importance of having the slow freight vessels equipped with wireless apparatus, this trip of the Oceano should be sufficient. This steamship was at the mercy of the ocean. It was powerless to help itself and depended entirely upon the chance meeting with another vessel which could render assistance. Signals which were visible but a short distance were the only means of securing aid and in the meantime many lives and a val- uable cargo were subjected to unneces- sary risk, While confidence was placed in the staunchness of the craft to sur- vive the storm nothing was known of its location or its predicament, all of which could have been quickly re- vealed and assistance despatched through the invaluable medium of a wireless outfit. Had it et with disaster such as would have threatened the lives of the crew it would have been the same. Nothing more could have been done towards informing the many ships within reasonable distance. The freighter as well as the passenger ship has many important uses for the wire- less and each and all should be so equipped not only for the importance of protection, but for the aid which it can thus be to others. THE NEGLECTED CONSUMER. It has always been the claim of the advocates of free trade that the con- sumer would realize the benefit from this readjustment of economic condi- tions, that goods coming into the country at a lower rate by the elimina- tion of the government tax would bring an appreciable relief to the final pur- chasers of such products. Since the new tariff bill of this country has been put into operation we have been re- ceiving quantities of South American products and the difference in price with the duty removed is favorable to Jarge importations. Nothing is more indicative of the fact than the effect which it has had upon the markets of this country. Grain and meat in par- ticular have been shipped in large quantities to this country, with plans not only for the continuance but for steady increase. It is declared by the authors of the new tariff that they are in receipt of thousands of letters from small trad- ers telling of the better results which they secure under the revision in spite of the actual conditions and develop- ments under the new measure. It is to be remembered, however, as the Washington Post points out, that the “‘small traders’ are middlemen, not consumers. The latter are forced to pay higher prices than before, all of which goes to the enrichment of the very class the new tariff was to put the screws on. Therefore if the mid- dleman is the gainer at the expense of the consumer, instead of the con- trary, by what mental route do the high priests of low tariff arrive at the conclusion that the results achieved fulfil their promises?” The only effect seems to be the neg- lect of the consumer and the injury of the ‘American producer.

In old times all sorts of achievements were supposed to speak for themselves, but in this age the achiever is permitted to speak for them. The ancient counsel was this: “Do not blow your own horn, let some one else do it for you.” The modern query is: “If 1 do not blow my own horn, who will?” This is one of the evidences we progress, if not that we improve. Gall sits now where Modesty used to sit. And self-gratu- lation seems about as good as con- gratulation. What are we going to do about it? Nothing at all, for we have learned to abide it—we keep abreast the times. The present gen- (Written Especially for The Bulletin.) As 1 wrote the title this paper, a reason came to my d for fur- ther reform in spelling. For a long time I have been convinced of tzs uselessness of silent e at the end words like are, were, have, etch, but in the instance just referred to, the meaning is greatly affected. Who knows whether 1 am intending to write about a class of people or a brightness of silver and other things? Only a division Info syllables can de- cide whether people are in my mind or scrub-clothes. A hyphen is only a little straight line, which affects only the eye, but does not reach the ea and we are still in the dark as to th spoken word. Now it happens that it is not people who fill my thougnts to-day, but means by which the world may be- eration cannot be expected' to take on the virtues of the past for past generations have shown it no ex- amples of this kind. Every genera- tion thinks it is sufficient unto itself. Do you realize that the systematic person can keep tab on everything but himself. Man appears to be so con- situated. Man thinks he is actually temperate when he is guilty of ail kinds of excesses. A woman who is intemperate in speech rarely realizes it, any more than does the man of inordinate appetite sense how much he resembles a glutton. A story is told of a Kansas man who was a constant smoker that was waked up to his excesses by an observant daughter who by careful count ‘and figuring discovered that his cigars cost him more than did the meat and bread for the whole family. Pa was dumb- founded when confronted with the facts and figures, but when from his own record and calculation they were proved to be true, he cut out his cigars. He was able to continue, but he had sense enough to feel ashamed of his lack of personal control. The things that are unnecessary, or most harmful to us, we often squander most money upon. It always has been difficult to tell who gets the worst of it in married life; and this may be why every cou- ple is married for better or for worse. There are always trials in life, and it is when one or the other gets to thinking their troubles are greatest that the twain commence to open up a gulf between them. It is not easy work to conduct a home, or to pro- vide for it. Skies cannot always keep blue—disposition cannot always keep sweet. Love, however, has a way of abiding in patience—selfishness .2 mouth for complaints and _cutting words. A good eye for the detection of weariness in one another, and a heart to be gentle and considerate does a mighty lot to keep the matrimonial waters unruffied. Keeping the fires of passion smothered and hope gleam- ing bright is a good balance for every matrimonial exigency. Constant com- plaint and an ungovernable temper can wreck any home. 1t was Epictitus who proclaimed to the world this statement: *“God has delivered yourself to your care, and says ‘1 had no fitter to trust than you” How that fine old pagan put up to man the fullness of his re- sponsibility. This puts every one of us on our mettle, and as the recipi- ents of divine confidence none of us should need a chaperone; but too many of us really desérve to have a conservator. Man has a high com- mission, but when we view him as he is we become conscious that he is guilty of a breach of trust. If every man had proved up to the sonship there would have been a square deal for every man on earth before this. It may be well for each of us to remem- ber God's message to us: 1 had no fitter to trust than you;” ana then we may the more strive to honor the trust. No wonder this sentiment rings down the ages! The world endorses the sentiment “It is a glorious thing to rise in season”, although Thomson wrote it while lying in bed at 10 o'clock in the morning; but now it is often quoted as an example how much bet- ter a man can preach than pract It is a wonder where so many of us can get the face to give so much good advice. It may be an evidence of a high ideal—a sign we know what we ought to be In spite of what we are. Good advice is the one thing which seems to have eternal life. It was handed out in the Garden of Eden and was then treated Just as it is today. 1t did not seem to be a bit more popular at the start than it is now. It is because of this, no doubt, that our mistakes have become so many that we have wrought them into a song; but it Is very much better to sing over our mistakes than to weep over them. Wheo can doubt man's deeds have more to do with his character than his creeds. What a man believes he | is not so sure about, but acts of kind- ness give comfort to the heart if no one eise is aware of them but ihe recipient. It is safe to say most peo- pie who have subscribed to a creed would pass a poor examination if | asked what their creed was. It would | be a real good thing to learn the| creed by heart so when challenged we may appear worthy of our association. I cannot imagine St. Peter inquiring of | one: “What have you been believing.” for it is much more natural to inquire | “What have you been doing? It surprising how much we can believe and how little of it we can work into | our daily lives. It was Colton who | said: ‘““He that will believe only what | he can fully comprehend, must have a very long head or a very short creed.” In their action men are found to be very much closer together than in their creeds. It is the moderns who are afraid of night air, and this is why we see | 50 few open windows at night and so | many sickly looking people in the | day-time. It is not so long ago that| night air was believed to be bad air— | bad air is in illy ventilated bed-rooms; but the closed window never shut the enemy out, but merely kept him in. It| is the close atmosphere of a room | which promotes disease—the slow | poisoning of breathed over and over The night air is today | regarded as a healing balm, and some physicians claim grip patients gain | faster sleeping in the open air than | indoors. The old attics with roof | which showed the stars and let the snow sift down through are healthy sleeping places. The fresh air which the civilized shut out is a promoter of | longevity. All who insist upon shut- | ting windows at night just keep the assassin _of healih in when they imagine they are shutting him out. If you are going to make a climb of life you must have self-respect—if a siide, self-indulgence. This is all there is to it! Self-indulgence opens the door for a little pleasure and of- ten ripens into a manhood destroy- ing habit or vice. If we would not have vice get a grip on us we must get a gTIp on ourselves. Taking things easy many be at the bottom of our woes— it is easier to be a fool than to be a sage to be nobody than somebody. Good things come high in this world, but they are usually found fo be worth all they cost in endeavor. When it comes to achievement we always get a glimpse of hard work, and if we are willing to pay the price we win. Those who sit on land and come better. When we want to at- tract others to us, on our way of thinking, we find our manners take on an extra shine. We polish them up for the occasion. I have ‘during my life met individuals of whom it was said: “OH, don't fear for him! He wil o through the world on his manners. One such was in school work and in his case it was true. I never knew him to be ill-mannered under any stress of circumstances. Severe at times he was, but never ill-mannered Such a poise means much self-control, careful choice of speech, quick no- tice of need and opportunity. Anoth- er was a business man, though what line of work he undertook I never knew. That he was successful, I do know, and that his fine manners nev- er failed him I am equally certain Placed wherever he might be his af- fable manner gained him favorable notice. From clergyman to hod-carrier no one can afford to overlook his bear- ing towards others. Of how many it can be trutbfully said, “Yes, he is a good man, but what a bear! I could never feel free to ask a fav- or of him, or go to him for sympa- thy, if I were in ' trouble.” How much happiness is lost by such! Call it tact, if you will, and a ntural gift, but it can’t be acquired like all oth- er virtues by practice. How much polish can do to make one’s home attractive. It becomes a part of cleanliness. When all dust is removed from the furniture, the room is brightened and seems _sweeter and cleaner in the process. We all know of the many infallible kinds of polish offered in the market, but with all friction is needed to secure good re- sults. Friction will repay the exer- tion entailed, and the home will be the brighter for it. An aged lady told me once, ‘I cannot sweep but i dust all the time,” and her rooms showed that she practiced all she claimed. Nothing _so improves the table as highly polished silver and glass. We all like our tea and coffee more if the spoons be bright, and water seems fresher and even cooler from a well polished glass. Offer the same food from dingy dishes and from well- polished clean ones, and how much greater is the relish, when the manner of serving is attractive. We have an old_authority for serving butter in a lordly dish. Happy, indeed, is the housekeeper who feels assured that a seemly dish can be found for, what- ever brand she desires to put before her family or their guest. I know there are those who contend that they don’t care, provided they only get the food, but even they are affected by SUNDAY MORNING TALK THE JOY OF COMING BACK. “See if you have the generosity and the spirit of sacrifice of college days. See if you can come back.” It was part of a printed appeal to a company of middle-aged graduates urging their support for a worthy project. The implication of the letter was a little startling at first. It sumed that we had grown hard cynical, unresponsive to appeals that would have moved us a score of vears ago. Our classmate wanted to see if any of the old idealism remained, whether we could “come back” to any of the noble enthusiasms, the uncalcu- lating generosities of youth. The melancholy fact is that what the letter assumed is true in myriad cases. As they grow older many men do lose their visions and forsake ideals. They become little and sordid. Life takes on a character of progre: sive detorio n. What the poet Wordsworth pictured so graphically is illustrated in the experience of people around us. Heaven may lie about us in our infancy, but it does not alway in our maturity. The youth, who daily farther from th H east Must travel, still is Nature's priest, And by the vision splendid is on his way attended; At length the man preceives it die away And fade into the light of common da Into what a very common day do | our early visions ~sometimes fade! | Age with too many is the period of disillusion. We believe less, are less inclined to sacrifice, less touched by the appeal to generous serivce. We succeed materially through the com- | promise of our ideal How many | hard, worldly-wise, successful men must confess as did that strange | genius, Tom Hood, in his later years that “I'm farther off from heaven than when 1 was a boy.’ But is that our ideals cannot easily be really lost. We may try to forsake them, but they have a way of stick- ing to us through thick and thin. The Gospel story tells how in the period of discouragement that followed the death of the Master the Apostle Petes decided to turn back to his old occu- ation. “I go a-fishing,” said he, and his fellow apostles planned to go with him. But we know how, in the e morning, on the shores of the blue lake of Galilee the Master met him and won him back to h ty. One may still the voice of conscience and silence the pleading of his heart for a long time—but not forever. The sun will break through the clouds some day when perhaps we least expect it. I have known men who had thought the impulse of faith had been forever stamped out of their lives to find that impulse suddenly and strangely revived in some hour of reflection, or of hope or fear. earlier loyal- Our lives often seem winter. The trees and shrubs are bare; no life is apparent. But by and by the south wind blows softly, spring advances and the life lurked in the roots under the sod proved by the buds and flowers thi now appear. The miracle of nature is not more wonderful than that of hu- man nature. Happy is the man who will not re- sist the over-brooding influence of that Almighty Spirit we call God. No matter how far he may have wondered in the bypaths of doubt or of sin the Guide is always trying to_bring htm back to the royal road. Nor is the sunshine ever brighter or the sky bluer than in that hour when one feels the surge of an old faith, within him a continent: and those who idle away of loafers on earth.

How an unpolished stove will render the kitchen unclean! The unpolished floor and zinc detract so much from the looks of the place.

That is flying to the other treme. But we must remember all this is usually attained by friction. Isn't| why a peaceful old age often finishes a bustling complimenting life? We often hear it said, “Old Mrs. { Brown is so much more amiable than she used to be. I really dreaded to meet her at one time she seemd so fretful, but now she is delightful.” The friction of life has polished off the corners of her temperament till they are smooth. There are staircases in the world, we are told, where the feet of pilgrims have smoothed and polish- ed the stones by constant use. Also we read of statues where the friction of devout lips has smoothed and rounded away the original corner: Even so in our lives time proves an efficient polish at Iz What poor specimens of our race are those who form the opposite c to | those I have mentioned, selfish, mo- rose, unsocial, they seem to be the nat- ural enemy of all their kind.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Casting Out Devils, Mr. Editor: Seeing that the theo- logical battle royal has ended or come | to a truce, it may not be considered | impertinent if one of your many read- | ers (who have been impelled by the copious quotations made in the va- rious letters pro and con, to consult their Bibles) may venture a word or two on the vexed question of what the “signs” are to be expected of a believer in Christ. It strikes this w er that an important point was ovi looked by the learned debaters which was, that a seeker after truth first asked the churches to show works of benevolence and then urged that mira culous powers be displayed. This al- lowed, of course, he had the best of the argument, for the mass of believers are destitute of the power to cast out devils or drink deadly things with hurt. After all, are these quoted from St. Mark's gospel, necs | the horse | monopoly - parted to con i C ‘from its originai setting, we this footnote in_explanation of the last chapter of Mark containing the remarkable utterance: “*The two oid- est Greek manut ts and some other authorities, omit verse ninth to the end. séome other authorities have a different ending to the Gospel.” These being the facts, Mr. Editor, the proof is wanting to assure us that the passage was even written by St Mark or ever uttered by our Lord. It is related of King Charles II, the great patron of the Royal Society for the Promotion of Arts and Sciences that one day he proposed to the as- sembled philosophers of his realm the following proposition: “Suppose two wails of water are equally balanced on a weighing beam. Why is it, that if a live fish be placed in one of the pails, that pail does not weigh heavier than the other.” The learned savants had as many explanations as their number, but no two agreed. At length one, who had remained quiet, ventured to suggest that the fish be weighed and his majesty said, “Quite right and laughed at the discomfited phil- osophers. A good many theological problems, too, perhaps, might be solved by just weighing the fish. ONLY A READER. Norwich, Jan. 23, 1914. *Revised version, 1881, Oxford Press, Cannot Make the Horse Drink. Mr. Editor: One may lead a horse to the water, but a dozen cannot make him drink. 'The president, it is said, has forced a tariff law and a banking and currency ‘law onto the statute books, and now he is going to try and make better business, that is he is go- ing to undertake the task of forcin to drink. This might hav been s of a task if he had not Guenched the thirst of the horse by the enactment of the two previous law: specially the banking and currenc the banking and prevents the pos- ny permanent improvement . This ought to be evident to anyone who has read and studied the so-called law. In the first place this law does not provide for one dollar of new money. Observe, not one dolldr of money. The thing d are promises y money. v anyvone knows that promise to pay money is not money The president, in his recent message says: “We are all agreed that ‘private is indefensible and intoler- able; and our programme is founded upon that conviction.” There can be and there is no greater monopoly than the monopoly of that which all the people are obliged to have, viz.: A me- dium of exchange whether it be called money or In plain lish the Constitution gives congre the power to coin money,” that is to create it. It has no such power to either “coin” or create curréncy. In the new bill congress does not create “currency” for the people direct. The new currency (government’s promises to pay) are to be delivered to the Danks when the banks ask for them. The banks then have a monopoly of all the money and currency and if it is not a “private monopoly,” then there is no monopoly. Some people will learn only by experience. It said that experience is a hard teacher nd that “fools will learn in no other school.” It is an effort to lift one- self by his boot in trying to change business fons for the better without changing the present financial system.
