THE FTTTpTVOS

a. Boys of Co. F are unanimous in
their declaration that the Filipinos
have a Well organized and equipped
army, but the men are not warriors.
There is no fight in them, and as
soon as they lose their advantage
over their opponents they take to
their heels. They dress light, carry
no baggage, except guns and am
muni ton, wear no shoes and at the
least provocation run like March
hares. They are ingenious, however,
and build trenches of bamboo and
sand that are almost impregnible.
They shoot well and hold their enemy
at bay only as long as they are not
charged upon. When their strong
hold is assaulted and the fight begins
to warm up they skedadle. After
years of practice they can out run the
Americans, hence the difficulty in
cornering them. The natives are al
ready whipped but their surrender is
a different proposition. They can ex-
ist almost entirely without labor, and
their clothing amounts to very little.
Their coats and trousers are of blue
calico, their hat is light and that is
all they wear.

TILE GROWING NEED

Comptroller of the Currency Dawes
thinks one of the greatest needs in
connection with our increasing for
eign trade is some method of inter-
national banking, such as England
and Germany have, not only with
European countries, but with South
and Central American countries, and
he will call the attention of Congress
to the matter in his annual report.
AS an argument of the need of such
facilities Mr.. Dawes said: "Sup-
pose two men are dealing in live
stock. One of them sells bunch of
horses, and ships them to the pur-
chaser, upon whom he draws for the
money. He takes the draft to the
bank and discounts it. With the
money, he buys more stock, which
he sells and ships in like manner The
second man does not use banks, he
sells his horses, and after shipping,
waits for the purchaser to remit.
While the second man is waiting for
his money, the first man has made
half dozen transactions and has
greatly increased his own earnings"

The election is over and the Repub-
licans have won a great victory. The
state has increased Shaw's majority
from 10000 to $4,000, and Mahaska

AN Old AGE PENSION

II Is authoriatively announced that
cSne pennsylvania railroad will soon
put into effect an old age pension
system, after several years of consid-
Grafton. The fund from which the
payments viii be made will be known
as pension and approximation fund.
and to make it effective will REQUIRE
about $500, 900 year from the com.
pany. 1t is understood that 70 wears
OF age has been fixed as the age for
compulsory retirement, and that en-.
ployees who have been 30 wears On
the service but who have not attain.
ed that age wiils.be entitled 10 the
benefits of the fund upon the report
OF the committee which will have the
administration of its affairs. The
pension allowance will be based upon
length of service, and the average
wages received by the employees
during snch service. The new ar.
rangement will not interfere in anv
way with the Employees, Relief

sions after long and faithful service.
1t will benefit not only the recipients
but the service of the company.
Employees will be stimulated to do
their best for a company that pro-
vides for them in their old age and
the company will be relieved of the
necessity of keeping on its pay rolls
employees who, because of the in
firmities of age, are less active than
they should be. In the obsence of
pension system this retention of en-
ployees after they have passed
their days of usefulness is a real
drawback.
The example of this great corpora
ton is said to have stirred some of
the other giant employers of labor,
and if system like this should be
put into effect in other places, and
fair consideration manifested every
where for the rights of the laboring-
man, strikes and labor discomfort
would be thing of the past.
