ONGRESS RECONVENED in
Washington Monday after the
holiday recess. 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.

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

'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.

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."
