DRTALMAGE TALKS
Of the Aohievementa of Hand and
Brain During the Year
Tfcis disoourno of Dr. Talm .go is a
national congratulation over the
achievements of brain and hand during
the paBt twolvo months. Tho texts
are: I Corinthians ix, 10, "IIo that
plowoth should plow in hope;" i-air.h
xli, 7, "Ho that sinootheth with the
hammer;" Judges v. 14. "They that
handle the pi n cf the writer."
Welocme, JL'banksgiviny day! Whit
ever we may think of Now England theology,
wo all like Now England Thauks
giving day. What means the steidy
rush to tho depots and tho long rail
trains darting their lanterns along too
tracks ot tho lioston and Lowell, the
Georgia Central, tho Chicago Great
Western, the St. Paul and Duluth and
thr Southern railwav ? Ask the happy
group in tho New Ejgi&cd farmhouse.
Ask the villagers whose song of praise
in tho morning will come over tho Berk
shiro hills. Ask all tho plantations of j
the routh which havo adopted tho Now j
England custom of setting apart a dry ,
of thanksgiving. Oh. it is a great d?v
of national festivity! Clap your nance,
yo people, and shout aloud for joy!
Through tho organ pipes lot there come
dowu the thunder of a nation's rejoicing!
Blow the cornet! Wave tho palm
branches! "Oh that men weald praieo
the Lord for his goodness and for his
wonderful works to tho ohiidrou of
men!"
For two years and a ha'f this nation
has been oelobratirg tno triumph of
sword and gun and battory. Wo bavo
sung martial airs and cheered returning
heroes and soendod tho requiem for tho
slain in battle. M-'thinks it wi!l bo a
boslthful ehango if on this year's
Thanksgiving in ohuroh and homestead
we oolebrate the victories of the plow,
the hammer and tho pen, for nothing
was done at Santiago or Manila that
was of moro importance than that which
/ ' in tho last year has been done in
farmor'B field and mechanic's shop and
author's study by thore who nevev were
an cpaulot or shot a Spaniard or wont
a hundred miles from their own dcorsill.
Como up, farmers and mechanics
k and literary men, and get your dues as
far as I oan pay them.
/ Things havo marvelous!y changed.
/ Times was when the stern cdiot of
my / government fcrbado religious aesomfr
blages. Thosowbo dared to be so ualoyal
to thoir king as to acknowledge
loyalty to the Head of the Universo
were punishod. Churches awfully silent
in worship suddeniy heard their doors
swung open and down upon tho church
aislo a sooro of muskets thumped as the
leaders bade them "Ground orms!'
This custom of having tho fathers, the
husbands, tho aonB and brothers at the

SELF fcUSTAINING.
That I< What la Said of the Postal
Department.
A self sustaining service, brought
by iho yetrly iooroaso of the postal
revenues resulting from general extension
of rural freu delivery is tho oonolubion
reaehod by First Assistant Postmaster
General Win. Johnson in his
annual report.
Oi the gross postal revenues of tho
UQi?e<i ctatett lor tho past fiscal T<??r
$74,295 394 otrno from 866 delivery

pcBtiffiws violded $16 003,252,
while the $72 479 fourth olas.s poatcfii'ca
irjducod $18,913 519.
Mr. Johnson nays tbo fait that tbe
poetal icrvioo in the largest cities is
praoiio&lly poifeot is the explanation
of why tbo annual pcroen.ago cf inorcaso
in tno rovenao of tbe free uc
livtry postoffiecs should bo throo limes
greater than in the imallor ouics and
five times is large as tnat of th? fourth
olass cflijes. As rural froo dolivory
reaches out into tho oountry jiving
equal facilities without regard to lootli
ty, ho nays it inoreascs tho rovenuos at
a rato at least equal to that maintained
in the frco delivery cities, where, during
tho past tivo years, it has avoragod
8 por oent. At the end of the present
fiscal year 8 600 rural routes will bo in
cuooesbfui operation, 6,000 boing in
effeot by Doocmbor 2 Tho latter figuro
rcprosouts just 50 years ago. Tho inextblo
policy is announoed of avoiding
horcaftor maintenance of unnecessary
postoffiocs and pnpcrflaous star routes
contemporaneously with rural free dolivery
routes. On .July 1 last tho
foroo of 4,301 rural carriers wsb serving
2,840,6 4 4 poople at a fraction over
75 ocms por capita, and on Deoombor
nex*. 4,000,000 of the rural population
will oo orj )>ing frco delivery. Kvory
establishment of a route, the report
says, is followed promptly by a steady
increase in tho volumo cf mail, both
delivered aDd collected.
Tho oi'.y froe delivery now embracoa

the now insular possesions, all those

Fighting the MachinePrcsidont
RoobcvcU, according to the
belief cf many politicians in Washing
ton, is Booking by appointments to
build up a Resscvck machine in tbo
ou-un'ry, which will bo powerful to
nomiaato him for president in the next
Republican national convention. R M.
Moorman in the Atlanta .Jouruai Bays
tbe president realizes that the real
machine of the party is against him,
that Senator llacna is not his political
frioud, that Senator Piatt forced him
upon tho tiokct ar tho vico presidential
candidate in order to got him out of
New York politic*, where ho was a
disturbing factor for tho Rspublio.n 1
organization. Thcroforc, in tho mailer
of appointments it would not bo in the
uaturo <f Roosevelt to turn to Lis one 1
micB, and ho iB breaking away from tho '
machine with a rapidity tbr.t is at ccee 1
startling and unn.nul Th? i
four nrtional Republican comittoomon
in aa many southern Btates havo Iroady
been turuod down. It is genoraWy the :
case that a national committc"bm>a re- 1
ooives groat consideration at the ,
house but under the Koosr velt adnyinii
tration thui far this has not be jfa tho
rulo. Too president is headstrong and
is going to havo his own way about
things, ilis appointments havo b',jon in
the nature of surprises for nojutpof the
older party leaders and the only way
they can figure out tho actions cf the jiow
president is that ho is lr?ing to build
up a maohino of his owa ia order to so
cure a nomination fer tho presidency.
Thero is now ponding a Litter fight bo
twoen S 'cretary llitchoA and National
Committeeman Kerens, of Missouri,ftr
the political mastery in that stato. It
is staged in tho best informed circles
that Kerens will bo givon the worst
end of tho proposition tad if this bo
true, H josovclt will have slapped five
