This Is My 47th Birthday

a CAMPBELL MORGAN

The Key. 0. Campbell Morgan, the famous preacher and evangelist, was

born la Tetbury. Gloucestershire, Eng-

iaaa, uec. , 1593. his rather was a

Baptist minister and his mother the daughter of, a Baptist deacon. He was educated mainly at Cheltenham, from which place, at tho age of SO, he passed to a mastership In the Jewish Collegiate School In Birmingham. He abandoned this calling for the work of an evangelist, and In 1889 accepted a call to the pastorate of the Congre

gational Church In Stone, Stafford-1

shire. In 1893 he took charge of the

Westminster Road Congregational

Church at Birchtleld, near Birming

ham, and a few years later he accept

ed a call to the New Court Congrega

tional Church In London. In 1900 the

Rev. Mr. Morgan came to America and has sine spent much of bis time

working In connection with the insti

tutions founded at Northfield, Mass,

by the late Dwight I Moody. He has

published several books, the best known of which are . "Disci pi eship,"

"The Hidden Years at Naaareth." and

"God's Methods with Man." .

The President's Pledge

The President's message is the longest message that has been submitted to the congress and the American people. This at the very 'first suggests that the message is rather a record of what the chief executive believes than it is a message of the type which is effective in whipping men into action. This Is the true interpretation of the spirit of the message. Progressive and etandpat alike, without regard to party will be surprised at the number of things on which they agree In this message they have already ceased to be surprised at the number of things on which, they disagree.

Conservation, the tariff and the enforcement of law are the ;eal things that are bothering the American people. Amid the thousands of things from big to little and the thousands of words which are necessary to cover the thousands of things, the three things stand out as the strongest portions of the President's message. It is the most notable document since the speech of acceptance. The people in general have found less fault with the literary ability of the President than with his interpretation of what be said and what they expected from those documents.

The message of the President, quite apart from the effect on congress and the people is apparently progressive and captious or complaining criticism is out of place as far as the message itself is concerned. The President comes out boldly for leasing of waterpower sites and coal lands. He treats it from the Federal point of view. Of course the idea did not originate with Mr. Taft, but the fact that the message contains the recognition of the principal already working so well in Australia and New Zealand and advocated by all progressive men in this country who think about this prob.em is to his credit and he should be given the full credit for it and the assurance of the people that they will back him up if he comes out and fights for' it.

"Take the tariff out of politics" seems to be the dominant spirit of the President's views on the tariff. The cynic may remark that. the tariff is 'what has done most to make trouble for the Taft administration and the congress of his supervision. A tariff commission and the revision of schedule by schedule is precisely what all the insurgents have been fighting for. It is the only way out. If Mr. Taft will give the full strength of his power to this he will find that the people will support him if he appeals to them rather than to try political manipulation to attain his written suggestions. It is not the sort of a program to disturb business or should not be.

The scathing criticism of our consular methods and customs bouses Is the cleanest cut reform enunciated. That the consular service has been abused and is already on the up grade everyone knows and the President Is to be congratulated on the written message. That It costs about 1300 to collect one In the customs department is sufficient reason for giving that a rake out. Read that portion of the message.

The enforcement of law. Judicial procedure, proposed legislation to correct our evils ail these things go together. The President advises enforcing what legislation we have, changing the judicial procedure and going to It strongly In enforcement Like all the rest of the message all this will have to be discussed In more detail. It needs to be said now that the President has placed himself on record as assuming the obligation of selecting wise and unbiased judges free from corporation Influence determined to get the spirit as well as the letter of the law and moreover to push the federal prosecutions with the utmost vigor. That was Roosevelt's strongest point.

So the message of the President is reassuring. This Is a progressive newspaper of the type commonly called insurgent. These are some things which are comparatively unimportant and others which are essential that progressives will disagree with. But in the big vital sweep of things though the swing of urgence does not radiate from the message all the people need to ask is that will go on. The lines laid out are sufficiently broad. We pledge the President that the people of this community are discriminating and intelligent. All of us want to see progressive policies enforced and aided and supported. But the message must be regarded as a pledge, a pledge which will be expected to be lived up to. On the pledge of the message the citizens should rejoice in the face of a possible do nothing congress.

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE.

THE GARDENER S FLOWER, Ton wAuId scarcely suppose, would you, that plants and flowers are sensitive to human affection or hatred? Or that metals may be poisoned and restored by antidotes? Or that metals may be overworked and restored by periods of rest? , Science says so. Recent experiments have shown that certain Cowers are extremely sensitive to words of praise or of blame long continued. The flowers will exrand in beauty and sweetness under kind and affectionate treatment. But if they are disparaged or sneered at or ibused In speech they will languish and die as of broken heart. Ildman influence! What a masteiy is in it! The mysterious thing we call magnetism affects the sensitive flower even as It doeH the human. Things both organic and inorganic are subject to human influence. If so, my friend If so, should not a realization of the fact make us wondrous kind to all rersons and all things? And, if one ouht to bo careful of his moods toward the little plant of the woods that it may blossom into beauty and fragrance, how much more careful one should be toward the tender little human plant that it may bloom into fragrant and beautiful life! For is not a little child of more precious worth than many flowers? The Head Gardener gives you the tender human plant and exiects that j ou will love it and shield it. And he has so made the tiny plant that affection will open its petals to the warmth of your love and it will bend gratefully and graciously toward you. But If you neglect if cr chide it continuously or put it in a noisome place it will droop and wither and languish. And may it not be that because the little human plant is so tender and so dependent and so submissive to your Influence the Master said you would better put a millstone around your neck than offend one of these little ones? Soul of man! Be careful, be very careful, how you treat a little humoo flower. It Is the Head Gardener's flower! Be careful lest he hold you guilty of blighting one of bis favorite plants.
