The season is at hand when, accordmc to the custom of our people, it falls up^ the President to appoint a day of prais

During the. last year the Lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving ns peace at home and abroad, and the chance for our citirenv to work for their welfare unhindered by war. famine or plague. It behooves us not only to rejoice greatly because of what has been given us. but to accept it with a solemn sense of responsibility. realizing that under heaven it rests with us ourselves to show that we are won by to use .aright what has thus been entnisted to onr care. In no other place, and at no other time, hA the experiment of government of the people, by the people, for the people, been tried on so vast a scale as here in onr own country in the opening years of the twenRieth century. Failure would not only he a dreadful thing foe us, but a dreadful tiring for all mankind, because it would mean the loss of hope for all who believe in the powcP and the righteousness of liberty. Therefore, in thanking God for the mercies extended to us in the past, we beseech hjm that he may not withhold them in the future, and that our hearts may be roused to war steadfastly for good and against all the forces of evil, public and private. We pray for strength and light.- *0 that in the coming years we may with cleanliness, fearlessness and wisdom do our al-

Less than $150000.000 of dhe $ 1/xxwxxxooo annual transactions can have the shadow of a 'double audit.' ” As to claims for railway mail transportation. aggregating alwnt $40,000,005 * year the report says the auditor must rely wholly on the bald statement of the departmental authorities that the amounts certified are due and payable. The report recommends an amendment to the law prohibiting the payment of any saline* or expenditures pertaining to the business of the Po«toffice Department by order on a postmaster. It also recommends other safeguarding amendments together with an increase of 190 clerks to handle current business and vitally important work necessary to the safe audit of flfittaxJOOjooo a year. The Auditor summarizes the recent investigation of the method* of his office and deprecates the fart that the auditor keeps no accounts for postage stamps, stamped paper and envelopes, etc, bought by the Po'loffice Department from manufacturers or contractors, and urges a law to remedy this defect. * The Auditor recommends that Congress amend the laws so as to provide, when "any branch of the government desires to use a patented article in the public service, some just method of deriding on the value of that article, based on cost of mamffacture. reasonable profit and fair royalty, and that tlie same be fixed at the price tn be raid therefor. The manufacturer would doubtless in all cases be willing to accept the price thus established. He would have no tqptive for offering bribes to any official for approving the sale, and the government would secure the desired improvement ala minimum cost. If the manufacturer should refuse the price Uittr established, provision might be made for invalidating the patent as to articles required for the public service.” Favors Vclsaise Bolkr. At a meeting of the Naval Board on Construction it was dedBcd that it will not be necessary to change the contracts for the fevtn ships being built with the Nicfausse tfoc ol boilers installed. so as to provide them with a different boiler. This action, it is understood, was taken largely as a result of the recent trial of the battleship Maine!" which is equipped with Nidausse boilers and which made such a satisfactory run from Hampton Roads to Culebra and

return.

The boiler qftestion is now one of the most important before the department. It has been held by some naval engineers. prominent among whom is Rear Admiral George W. Melville, formerly Chief Engineer of the Navy, that the Nidausse boiler i* not adapted to the needs of the Nary. Besides the Maine, seven pf the large ships under construction are to be provided with the Niclausse boiler. Before retiring Admiral Melville recommended that these
