The Home Paper.

Only those who have lived in small
town can realize the power and fascin-
alton of the home paper. 1t occupies
a position that no other publication
can fill The home paper comes first
always. Everybody looks through it's
columns to see if his or her "name is
in the paper" Every bit of gossip is
read and discussed. Sometimes it is a
birth, sometimes marriage. No mat
ter what it is, every name is familiar to
all, and for this one reason alone the
home paper is priced above and beyond
anything the literary fellows" in the
city can produce. 1t doesn't take long
to read the home paper for there isn't
much in it, but what is read satisfies
the mind in a way that no other paper
can.
1t is like drinking when one is thirsty
it reaches the spot. There is time to
read the advertisements and they are
read as we'll as the news. Every bust
ness man in every town where paper
is printed should be represented in that
paper. If he is not, it is he and not
the publisher, who is loser-EXchang

HISTORY proves that many countries
have tried colonization and failed.
Even England, the most successful
colonizer of modern history, has lost
some colonies. But today England's
colonizing schemes are successful to a
conspicuous degree. The United
States is just entering upon her career
of expansion. But she has this advan-
tage of her predecessors, that she can
learn by their experiences and avoid
their mistakes.

CONFLICTING reports give conflict
ing ideas of the Philippine insurgent
leader, Aguinaldo. Could we believe
some of the dispatches which come
from the east concerning the President
of the new Filipino republic, we would
be justified in regarding him as an ar
rogant, bigoted rascal, with surprising
lack of intelligence and devoted to the
cause of Filipino independence only
through personal interest and desire
to be big parsonage in the affairs of
the orient. But there are other pic
lures of Aquinaldo than the foregoing.
MANY excellent authorities, men in
whose word the reading public is in
clined to place cO6dence, represent
Aquinaldo to be patriotic Filipino,
but a man of intelligence and good
sense, who was lead into the position
he now occupies by his keen resent
ment of the vile abuse and violence of
Spanish power, and sincere desire for
an improved condition of his people
and his country. In conversation
with W. A. Harper, Aguinaldo gave
the following three reasons for the out
break of the insurrectiOn:
/. The misdemeanor of the priests
(Spanish.)
2. Spanish laws giving all the lib
critics to Spanish subjects and restrain
ing the Filipinos in every possible way.
3. The occupation of civilian Offices
by Spanish officers instead of natives.
independence was evidently not the
war cry of the Filipinos in the begin
ming of their outbreak. These three
reasons are only the statements of
abuses which the FiIipinos volunteered
to have corrected. That independence
they have not sought for nor even
thought they could possess or main
tain is shown by the fact that short
time before the beginning of the Span
ish American war peace was estab-
lished between Aguinaldo and the
Spanish on the grounds that the
priests leave the country and the civil
Offices be given to natives. Owing to
the unfulfllment of part of the financial
stipulations the trouble started again
just about the time that Dewey took
Cavite.
Moreover, AguinaldO himself is
quoted by Mr.. Harper again as saying
that there is a strong, friendly feeling
for the United States among the Fill
pinos. While they hope that it will bt
annexation to the United States, there
is no objection to an American protect
crate. Annexation AquinaldO doe
not regard as possible to achieve a
once, but after certain lapse of time
say two years. The heart of the chic
FilipinOs and their leader is for an alb
solute Filipino government, with n
foreign influences, but this their bette
Judgment says is out of the question.
If these things are trCe-and VIII
shouldn't we believe them, comm
from so authentic source-there woul
seem to be small ground for apprehen
sion on account of Aguinaldo and hi
followers. American rule, of whateve
nature, will relieve all the ills whic
they have been fighting against an
give to them a form of governmer
only just separated from independence
and much better calculated to su
their situation. Independence the
have never had and as far as one knows
have never sought.

ONE or two of the European powers,
as France, for instance, expect to send
a naval attachee to this government
after this in addition to their present
staff. After all, maybe, there we're

know before during the war between
Spain and this country.

CHkEE CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT Gated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable to weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases.
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
ty-four hours; sediment of settling in
dicates kidney or bladder trouble. The
