Separated, they are subject to all the crosa-cui rents of tho confused' politics of a world of hostile rlval lles: united In spirit and purpose, they cannot be disappointed of their peaceful destiny. This is Pan-Americanism, it has none of the splilt of empire In It. It Is the embodiment, the effectual em bodiment, of the spirit of law and In dependence nnd liberty and mutual service." Ni:V PAN-AMKIUCANISM. The new Paii-Amcrlcnnlsm, tho Presi dent eninhnslzcd. was destined to play a foremost part in the economic leadjust- j ment which must come udoui wiwi in end of the Kuiopeun war. He laid stress on how tho Pnlted States hnd plated "brother" to Mexico. He reiterated ngnln that the United Stntes had no :el tlsh purpose In Its gunrdlnnshlp of tho South and Central American Republics. It was an equality of nntlons themselves independent except In mutual alms and usplratlons. OfTHPKST OK HANDCLAPPiNG. The argument for Pan-Americanism was at the opening of tho address. The Congressmen heard It at llrst in silence, but when ho came to that poitlon re affirming tho Monroo Doctrine, and In particular to that phrase where ho enun ciated the equality and Independence of all American nations, thero was n vigor ous, momentary outburst of handclapplug. Tho pronunclamento "We will aid and befriend Mexico but will not coerce her" also evoked n brief round of applause. For tho most part, however, tho Senators and Representatives sat engrossed and silent, taking In every phrase as It fell from the President's lips.

Miller Playerforte is the greatest value you can obtain in a player a purchase for a lifetime. The Playerforte has easier pedal control and an absence of complicated hand devices, which enables you to play it easier and more naturally than any other player-piano. And with this control is the rich tone that marks every Henry F. Miller instrument. Player action, a well as the piano, is of our own construction, giving a unity of purpose and result that would otherwise be unobtainable. We shall be glad to demonstrate the Playerforte to you. Select early for Christmas.
