Help the Band.

The refining influence of music is
a sufficient warrant for all reasonable
expenditures necessary to an acquire.
ment and knowledge of its theory
and practice. This influence is a
public benefit and it is but reasonable
just and right that the public should
share in the expense of maintaining,
training and educating the persons
who are to exert this influence for the
good of the public. In many of the
cities of the country bands are paid
by the city to give open air concerts
in the public parks, where public
stand is provided and seats arranged
for the comfort of the people who
gather there to be entertained. These
open air concerts are for the enter
tainment of all the people Of the city
and for the guests it's people may
have. The purchase of instruments
and music cost money and it should
not be expected that those who give
their time to instruct, amuse and
entertain the people, should go unre-
warded. Beside the contribution in
dividuals may make there should be
appropriated from the public treas
ury liberal sum for that object. A
public band stand erected in the
court house park would be not only
an ornament, but if there was an open
air public meeting of any kind it
would be useful not only for the band
on such occasions but for the speaker
who might address the public there.
from. We believe the board of super
visors would be justified in appropri-
ating one hundred dollars for the
erection of such d stand in the court
house park.

Special Elect on.

The school board has called a
special election of the voters of the
Independent district of Cresco for
the tenth of May to determine what
shall be done about the heating and
ventilating the public school build
ing. The board had Mr.. Starkey, an
expert in matters of heating and ven
tilating school, and other public
buildings, look over our school build
ing with view to get such informa-
ton from him as would be of benefit
to the public. Mr.. Starkey is not
associated with, or interested in any
supply house, that would furnish
anything we may need In the proper
heating and ventilation of our school
building SO essential to the health
and life of our school children. Every
parent feels the Importance ofan edu-
cation. Yet they also know the ne
cessity of a body physically sound
and well. as the habitation of an edu-
Gated mind. The two must be COM
bined if possible and to insure this
pure air must be combined with
warmth. After most thorough in
vestigation Mr.. Starkey concludes
the sum authorized, will not be ade-
quate for the purpose desired hence
the special election is called that the
voters of the Independent district
may grant the board this authority.
We hope to see an unanimous vote of
the people in behalf of the proposi.
tion to supply the required funds
needed.

nothing to prevent ii. He excuses himself
for not communicating his information to
the war board because that body has no
power or authority, and he has very little
confidence in its sincerity. He assumes that
ii is intended to whitewash the War De-
partment but that is no reason why he
should not invoke the power of the Pres
fdent to protect his soldiers from being poi
soned. Every cornmissary in the army has
testified under oath before the commission
that all the beef issued to the army has
been pure and free from chemicals. Gen
eral Miles tells the newspapers he is pre-
pared to disproVe the testimony by the affi-
davits and reports of sixty people, but he
has declined every official opportunity to
do So
The President and the secretary of war
were in consultation on the subject this
morning, but if they have determined upon
any course of discipline for the general of
the army they have not disclosed it. The
first step would be to address him an official
inquiry as to the accuracy of the interview.

IT IS THE WILL OF GOD
THAT WE SHOULD REDEEM THE
PHILIPPINES FROM BARBARIsM.
bishop DOane Condemns Use of Word
'TmperiaIism," aud Points Out
Americans Christian Duty.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2-The Churchman in
its issue of Feb. will contain an article
by Rt. Rev. William Croswen Doane, bishop
of Albany. on Imperialism" The bishop
opens with a reputation of the word "im-
perialism" as in any sense a. correct term
to be applied to any policy at present sug-
gested for the American government. He
says that whatever enlargement may come
from the present position is not active and
intentional land grabbing, but the passive
acceptance Of the care of certain people and
certain races thrust upon us by the unex-
pected and unintended outcome of the war
Discussing the present duty of the Chris
tian American citizen, the bishop says that
1t is quietness and confidence. Making haste
to give up the Philippines to nobody knows
what or whom and to leave Cuba and Porto
Rico to take care of themselves or making
haste to annex Cuba, to admit Porto Ricans
to citizenship and to make the Philippines
part of the United States are alike con-
demned by the bishop as suicidal and sense
less.
After some rather severe criticisms of the
course of the American government towards
the negroes and the Indians and a eulogy
of English government of Egypt and India,
the bishop says that not by shirking but
accepting the responsibilities, with all their
difficulties and dangers, we are to rise to the
ability to discharge them with the under
lying hope that there will come back to us
in our home politics publication and eleva-
ton, and that we shall make the virtue of
good civil service out of the necessity Of
the wise and honest undertaking of our
duty in the new position of the Nation
Bishop Doane says that precedent seems to
Indicate that both by the inherent national
right of sovereignty and under the existing
Constitution we can provide for the govern
ment of the people whom we have rescued
from tyrannous cruelty but that if this
supposition shall be found untrue then we
must remember that in the emergency ma
tional life and duty are more important
than the letter of q document and that the
Constitution not being, as some people seem
to think it, a close and final revelation Of
GOD, can be amended"
The paper closes: No difficulties and no
anXietes can alter the facts or change the
situation or put back the advancing move
mCnt of Gods will, which tends to the final
substitution of the civilization, the liberty
and the religion of English speaking people
for the lost domination of the Latin races
and the Latin religion. God has called the
people in America to be His instrument in a
move perhaps ever greater in it's conse-
quences than the Reformation in England or
the liberation of Italy or the unfication of
Germany, and in the spirit of dependence on
Him, with the quiet courage of patient
faith, we must rise to the duty Of the hour"

sixteen years past consul of Belgium at
Manila. Consul Andre is en- route TO WASH
ington on a secret mission, but it is UNDER
stood that ne has come to this country to
offer his good services as mediator between
this country and the Filipinos Consul An
Dire is perfectly familiar with the habits and
pecuiarities of the Filipinos. and he will
doubtless furnish the administration with
much valuable information. In Manila Con-
sui Andre served as the representative Of
the two governments during the negotiations
before the surrender of the city, and he
wishes it emphatically understood that his
present mission is purely neutral
Speaking of the present condition of af-
fairs in the Philippines, Consul Andre said
that should the Americans and Fflipinos
clash that the loss to the Americans would
be very great, not so much, however, from
the force of bullets, but from the sickness
which would follow an active campaign
The Filipinos, he said have $4,000 rifles and
could infiict much damage before being sub
dued, and he did not look for any serious
disagreement. THE Filipinos," he said,
"do not understand their position. AS soon
as they could be made to realize that the
United States will not make rash promises,
then so soon will the Filipinos welcome tha
protection of this country, but until that
time arrives there will always be some
signs of discomfort AS soon as the natives
realize that they can make money and live
comfortably, then they will cease fighting.
The recent proclamation of the President
did much to relieve the anxiety Of the peo-
pie, and the recent conference between the
American commissioners and the Filipino
representatives will result in much good"
