MANILA as AN AMERICAN CITY

The Cincinnati Times-Star takes a
roseate view Of the future Of Manila
and its relations to the United States
in a business way. The figures offered
in justification Of Its prediction are
doubtless accurate and must prove al
Turing to the American capitalist as
weu as the producer. The Times-Star
says;
Manila IS destined to be for the Uni
ted States as great an entrepot as Hong
Kong is for England in the Far East.
It will become the commercial center
OF the United States in the East for
there where the flag flies will be found
the banking houses needed for the trade
and the great commercial houses sup
plying the trade; it will be the hub from
which she spOkes Of the wheel Of east

It Is interesting to note the extent Of
this wheel or circle Of which Manila
is destined to be the center. Within
its limits lie Australia on the south

Every time any important public
question arises a lot of people begin
TO worry about the constitution al
though few of the men who have done
most to make the country great have
lost any sleep over it. When the re-

probably never looked to see what the
constitution said about it but just went
ahead and put it down and constitu-
tionaly established human slavery
with it. England manages to worry
along and keep her nose above water

NOT REPORTS ENOUGH.
Secretary Coburn's Reports Spoken
for Before They are Published.

Secretary Coburn is overwhelmed
with applications for his reports so
to supply the demand. The statement
that has been made that there are sew
eral tons of old reports of various kinds
in the basement Of the state house does
not apply to his reports. They are
gobbled up as fast as they are publish
ed. Before the last biennial report was
out there were a thousand applications
on file for copies, and as soon as the
newspapers announced that it had been
issued the applications came in by the
hundred.
corning the publication of too many Of
the reports of some of the departments
Secretary Coburn says:
'I notice that the usual biennial talk
is going on about readjusting the law
in reference to state printing and pay
ment of the printer, coupled with the
statement that entirely too many public
documents are printed and that the
for cords of decaying volumes which
were never Of use to anyone.
81 want to say that no such state
ments are applicable to publications
of the state board of agriculture, and
that none of them are ever piled away
to decay in the easements or elsewhere.
On the other hand the printing fund is
never sufficient to make possible one
half the number Of the boards publIca-
tions which are demanded by the public,
nor is there sufficient postage ever pro-
vided for mailing those we have.
''To some of the unsophisticated or
unthinking our printing and postage
bills may look large-espec when
compared with those of some other de-
partments-but it should aforementioned
that Kansas, if anything, is an agri-
cultural state, and whatever promotes
her farming and live stock interests re-
bounds directly to the prosperity Of
every other interest.
1.-The sole business of the board Of
agriculture is promotion of the affairs
that lie at the very foundation of all
our prosperity, but it can do only as
ways and means are provided. As to
what other departments may print that
is not demanded by the public have no
information"
