Hut the International Reform Bur eau has other matters, and plenty of them, to be attended to, and it seeks encouragement and financial support, as Dr. ("raft's nddres s-howed. "Our city campaign," aid Dr. Crafts, "is fighting bad shown, our state is putting an end to racetrack gambling. Our nation is driving liquor out of gov- i anient buildings, and our Interna tional body Is removing the rum and opium tralllcs altogether. "Higher than all sciences that can be taught, except the science of the spirit of God, is the science of Inter nationalism. The Balkans will bo the powder magazine of tho world until a commission made up of all the gront er powors takes charge and sees that Turkey's despotism Is not parmltted to dominate. . "I bollovo that we shall see Presi dent Roosevelt as President of the World, and that tlieie will be a Hague government with a legislative and ex ecutive department.

He said that President Roosevelt, who has done much to aid the bureau in Its work. Is not afraid to "butt in." but is a man "who makes precedents that will bo followed for years to come."
