It is reported that the president
will send to congress a special message
advising the creation of an office to
be known as federal commissioner
of insurance. A dispatch to the Kan
sas City Journal says that the presi
dent has agreed to do this at the
request of insurance magnates who
are anxious to restore public confi
dence in the insurance business.
The house committee has reported
favorably on the Philippine tariff
bill. The republicans split on the
question and the vote stood 7 to 5.
In the debate in the senate Decem
ber 20 Senator Spooner made what
the Washington correspondent for the
Chicago Record-Herald says was in
tended to be a pointed thrust at Pres
ident Roosevelt and Governor Hig
gins of Now York. He said that he
had read in the morning paper that
a governor had determined who should
be the next speaker of the house of
representatives of his state, and he
said that "such a course is treason
to our constitutional system."
The democrats of the house ways
and means committee reported in fa
vor of the Philippine tariff bill. They
offered a substitute, declaring for ab
solute free trade between the Phil-1
ippines and the United States, includ
ing Hawaii and Porto Rico. They say
that if their substitute Is voted down
they will support the republican bill

In the minority report it is said'
"The members of the minority 0f the
?wmAUGe U Ways and moans believe
that the anomalous and preposterous
wiwnh n Ule PPm island's by
which they are treated as American
territory for certain other purposes
can not long be maintained and should
be immediately terminated. At ,res
ent, according to the whim of con
gress, or the executive, they are con
sidered as American or foreign or
as both American and foreign,' or as
neither American nor foreign In
justice to bulh the Filipinos and our
selves they should be considered as
altogether American, or altogether
loreigu. So long as we retain them
we favor the establishment and main
tenance of free trade between them
and the United States. The party,
which we in part represent, desires
to get rid of them at the earliest prac
tical moment, and we welcome the
dissatisfaction of the hitherto legis
latively favored classes, growiug out
of the competition of the products of
Philippine labor with our own pro
ducts, in our own market as a pos
sible moving cause to governmental
divorce between the Philippine archi
pelago and the balance of the United
States."

Do You Read?
Gladstone Said
"Books arc a delightful society. If you go Into a room and find It full
of books, without even taking them down from their HhelveH, they
seem to speak to you to bid you welcome. They heem to tell you that they
have got something inside their covers that will he good for you, and that
they arc willing and desirous to impart to you.
"Another purpose of books is to cnlargo the mind, to brace the mind, to
enable the people to find pleasure, not only in the relaxation of literature,
but In hard work, in the stiff thought of literature. The hard work of
literature conveys to those who pursue it in sincerity and truth, not only
utility, but also real enjoyment."
