There are sev eral important measures to be con sidered at this session but not the least of them will be a bill which will bo Introduced which will take the work done now by the secretary of state and divide it up among the lieads of two or three other depart ments, each under a separate cabinet officer, or else provide several distinct bureaus in the present department, all to be under the direction of this one official. In either case this will 1)0 n recognition of the fact that the lorolgn affairs jof the government have outgrown tho machinery which was provided to deal with them Secretary Root urges a distribution of this work among several department chiefs. Apparently this would neces sitate tho creation of a few new cabi net officers. He recommends the crea tion of a secretary for European nf falrs, a secretary for South American affairs, a secretary for Oriental af fairs, ami a secrotry for British colo nial affalrb, Either in this shape, or in provfding for the separation of tho present State Department into Bovoral bureaus covering these sub divisions, a bill will be proposed early In tho present session. This proposition of a division of -work In tho State Department has much to recommend it. And Secret ary Root is tho man nbovo all others who may be relied on to tell Con gress how and why tho change ought to bo made. Ho is one of tho great est secretaries for Foreign Affairs whom tho United States has had among tho long line of distinguished men who have filled that role since Jefferson and John Qulncy Adams, and which included, nmong others, such political leaders a- Clay, Woh- Btor, Van Buren, Calhoun and Mnrcy, Mr. Root Is tho most accomplished hoad of tho Stnte Department since Sewnrd. None of his predecesois had tho opportunity of realizing, ns ho has done, the Inadequacy of our prcsont machinery for meeting tho demands of a steadily broadonlng cir clo of diplomatic activities. No other head of tho State Department over wont outsldo of tho country on offi cial business during ills t rm of office, Mr. Root attended tho Pan-American congress at Rio do Jnnolro in 190G illo mndo n tour of tho South Amor Wean Continent, calling on tho prcsi ."lenjs .njid heads of tho departments of foreign nffairs of most of tho La tin-American countries. On a visit to tho City of Mexico ho arranged, with President Diaz, a program which had for Its principal object tho maintenance of tho peace among tho five llttlo Contrnl American nations, By a call on tho govornor-goneral of Canadn at Ottawa ho is understood to have talked over the Chlneso and Japanese immigration Issues, and to havo aided in outlining a course of action on theso and othor subjocts which woro. and which still nro, of di rect concorn to Canada and tho Unlt- j ed States. In this most active and J dlffuslvo of all tho presidential J?'"T38lmes which tho country 1ms soon. L 11.. 1. .1 Mr. Root lias noun iuo must ucuvu, versatllo and ubiquitous of all of Mr. Roosovolt's department chiofs. His views, thqroforo, regarding the neces sity for tho division of work in his department will nocossarlly havo much weight with congress. It Is easy to point out reasons why there should bo n broador allotment In tho officials detailed to deal with the country's foreign activities. Tho State Department is tho oldest of all tho branches of tho oxecutlvo end of tho government. At tho time whon It wbb created, In 1789, tho United Btatso had only 3,000,000 Inhab itants. On the Bcalo of Us popula tion, wealth, commercial activities and political Influence it stood low on the roll of nations. Except as It is surpassed in population by Russia and China, the United States leads tho world today In every one of those fields. The department which was created to be the medium of com munication between the United States government and "the governments of the several states and of tho various nations of the world had only a small task at the outset compared with that which the passing years and decades havo brought it. The thirteen states at the beginning of the government havo been more than tripled in num ber. Between the Rio Grande and the Gulf of Mexico and Cape Horn there are twenty nations today, while there were none when Washington was inaugurated. Three or four na tions have been created In Europe since that time. Three or four have emerged In Asia and Africa. In these Rooseveltlan days the - United States touches the rest of the world at many times the number of points that It did in Washington's time, while tho world itself is far bigger than it was then. Important and nu merous as they were in 1789, the tasks which Jefferson was called upon to perform were fow and simple com pared with those which confront Root in 1908. In the Britis cabinet there are departments of forqign af fairs, of home affairs, of colonial af fairs and of affairs in India, Scotland and Ireland. Some sort of a division of work and responsibility is also needed in the department which looks after tho foreign concerns of the United States. A nation of 90, 000,000 of people, with territory ex tending half way round the globe, needs a larger equipment in its for eign department than did the coun try whose Western boundary was the Mississippi River, and which was "lit off from ace3S to the Gulf of Mexico by a strip of territory belong ing to Spain.

X K MACLAREN. The Little Roy's Hnby Prayer. Dear God, I need you awful bad; I don't know what to do, My papa's cross my Mam-na's sick; I hain't no fren's but You. Them keerless angels went and brung, 'Stid of the boy I ast, A Weenchy, teenchy baby girl, I don't see how they dast. Say' God, I wish You'd take her back, She's jest as good as new;' Won't no one know she's secon' hand, But 'ceptln' me and You; An' pick a boy. dear God, Yourself, The nicest in Yer fold; But please don't choose him quite so young, I'd like him 5 years old. Tho lamb that Mary had is but a has been now, (It got to be a rather wormy chest nut, anyhow), For since she donned hat awful gown with one side split in half All our admiring eyes are turned on Mary's little calf. Whose fault was It? In the opin ion of the men you are wrangling with, it was yours. There should bo no signs of make up In a girl's complexion or hair be fore she has reached 25. Coos Bay people are usually will ing to do their duty, but they do not like to do too much of it. Too many women regard a man as a bunco steerer regards a farmer; somcthirg to get the be3t -of. To the real strict church observer there occur about 40 -sermons in a year when parties must be given with the blinds down and tho news kept out of the paper. It is about as much trouble to get a girl ready to go away to school as it is to get her ready to bo mar ried is the opinion of a Coos Bay mother who has had experience in both lines. Tho women lose no time in taking possession. A North Bend man dis covered that the third time he called on a certain girl he was compelled to account""for the evenings ho spent away from her. There is no moral lesson like a polite, modest man. Such a man, without ever mentioning reform, does more good In tho world than a pro fessional reformer. Every man who knows hi mis impressed with tho im portance of modesty and politeness, and tries to be like him. When a girl goes to a party she lies around tho house tho next day, with her hair In curl papers, and rests up, always taking a nap in the afternoon. But tho young mon are compollod to get up at G o'clock the next morning and work all day. Girls often boast that they can stand more parties than tho young men; the rea son Is they do nothing else. Walt Mason sings: "I won't bo long in this valo ot tears; my works may run for a fow more years, but oven that is a risky bet, and the sports aro hedging already yet. At morning a gent feels gay and nice; nnd evening finds him upon the lco, with his folded hands and his long white gown, and his toes turned up and his plans turned down. So, view ing this sad uncertainty, and hearing tho wash of tho Dead Man's Bea, I want to chortlo the best I can, and try to cheer up my follow- man; to nia'io a ,fellow forgot his care, and mnke him laugh when he wants to swoar, is ns much ns a poet can hopo to do, whoso lyric is twisted and broke in two."
