pies? answer that the only justifiab1e
object of such expansion is the eStab-
liShment of good government in the ter
ritOry annexed, the elevation of its peO-
pie in civilization. and the training of
them in progressive Self-government
with a view to ultimate independence,
whether by partnership in, or Separa-
tion from, the sovereign state. AS the
end of the moral being is perfection,
and the end for the economic society is
wealth, so the end for the political COM
munity is independence. In the divine
education of the race, no people can be
permanently kept in a state of subjec-
tion to, or even dependence upon an
other people. OF all cOlonizing nations,
England is the only one which has real
lied this great principle; and it took a
successful rebellion in her first empire
to impress the truth even upon Eng
land.
In the Philippine islands our own
mission is to educate and elevate the
Filipinos and aid them in governing
themselves. We shall not adopt the pol
icy of Scuttle, nor, although American
sovereignty must be established even
by force shall we ever dream of the
policy of determination. Not oppres-
sion nor yet abandonment and deSer-
tiOn, not these, but honest and frater-
nal cooperation with the Filipinos for
the establishment of a just and stable
government of the natives shall have
ever-increasing participation in proper
tiOn to the development of their pOliti-
cal capacities, the growth of their pO-
htical experience, the progress of the
masses in education and civilization
and the evolution of the idea and sent
ment of nationality, a sentiment and
idea which will be nourished and de-
velOped by the habit of common action,
the improvement of the means of COM
munication, the freer intermingling of
the tribes and races, and hearty native
cooperation with the Americans whose
best political traditions are but the
realization of the dearest ideals of the
Filipino peoples"

VI 6UOIBA Un6N6Os .
Oil Inspector Surrenders to the
Standard Company.
Rejected Product Was Returned
to Fort Scott.
TALK OF ARRES T..
Finally Proves That the Oil is
Up to Standard.
c. s. Briggs Lands the Place Of
Census Supervisor.
z OF ARIES T.

The Standard Oil company and s. O.
Spencer, state oil inspector, have been
having a merry war at Fort Scott. The
proceedings have reached such a stage
that Spencer has consulted the county
attorney and is prepared to bring GRIM
1nal proceedings against the company.
Last week Inspector Spencer person
ally tested ten tanks of oil shipped to
Fort Scott. He claimed the result
showed a test of 106 while the legal re-
quirement is 11O. Spencer rejected the
oil and reached an understanding with
the company that the oil would be
shipped out of the state.
The company started the oil out of
the state, after Spencer had refused to
permit it to be transferred to the tanks
in Fort Scott, for local trade, and took
it to Kansas City.
At Kansas City the oil was retested
and showed no. Now the company
claims Spencer did not treat the oil
fairly and sent it back to Fort Scott for
sale in the local markets.
Spencer proposed to have the local
agents of the company arrested but
today George w. Mayer the Kansas
City agent of the company went to
Fort Scott and with Spencer's instru-
ments demonstrated that the oil tested
ia, four per cent in advance of the
legal requirement. Then Mr.. Spencer
receded from his position and the once
rejected oil is now being sold to con-
SumerS at Fort Scott.

A COFFEE EXPERIMENT.
Not Likely to Be Repeated.

THE work of a newspaper cores
pondent involves constant thought and
study, with consequent brain and nerve
weariness. It may interest you to
know of my experience with coffee.
Some years ago I was compelled to
give it up, and after a few years abstf-
nence started its use again, at break
fast only. Within a few weeks I was
compelled to abandon it, as became
nearly paralyzed.
During the forenoon of each day my
arms and wrists were so benumbed that
I could use them with difficulty Alarm
my physician informed me were the
forerunners of apoplexy Coffee was
therefore fOresWOrn. Milk, of which
was very fond, made me intolerably
drowsy and stupid
About two years ago my attention
was called to Postum Cereal Food Cof-
fee, and trial was made, believing
that If 1t proved half as valuable as
claimed it would be of great advantage
to me. On the first trial it tasted rath-
er insipid to our strong g-coffee-Ioving
family, but a little freer use of Postum
and longer boiling produced a delicious
drink, and within a short time the
members of the family, one and all, had
become ardent advocates of Postum
Food Coffee.
In my own case it has worked won
ders. I work more constantly than
ever, but my general health is better
than at any time in my life, and the
symptoms of nervous trouble have
wholly disappeared About eight months
ago made one more trial of coffee, re-
ducing it with nearly half milk The
experiment lasted four or five davs
and is not likely to be repeated. The
nervous suffering that followed was in
describable, and did not recover from
its effects for nearly two weeks

a stormy session, lasting two hours, re-
fused to accept his resignation, but Mr..
Truax informed his associates that he
would under no circumstances continue
TO serve as president The committee
declined to fill the office OF president,
but created the position of director gen

a member of the general committee.
The labor leaders were at first in

was explained TO them to all purposes
he had been succeeded by Mr.. Noyes,
they appeared satisfied with the reor-

Beyond the retirement of Mr.. Truax
no progress has been made toward set

DONE EXPANDED. "
President Schurman Discusses
Expansion From Senator
MOrgan's Standpoint.

Ithaca, N. Y, Sept. 2s-President ia
cob G. Schurnan in his address at the
opening of the scholastic year of Cor
nell University today spoke at consid-
cradle length on the subject of national
expansion Mr. Schurman was pres1-
dent of the commission sent to the
Philippine islands to investigate the
subject of the civil government of the
archipelago. AT the outset Mr. Schur-
man referred to his address of last year
when he answered negatively the in
islands from Spain?" His opinions he
SAYS brought upon him no little con-
demnation but the rapid march Of
events rendered it unnecessary to con-
slider whether these opinions were
sound or not. The treaty making pow
er of the United States backed, he ad-
mitted by an overwhelming public
opinion irrespective of party, took the
Philippine islands from Spain. Some
people were still discussing the theore-
tic expediency of expansion. This had
not been an open question since last
winter. The only question today open
was this: THE United States having
taken the Philippine islands from Spain
what shall be done with them ?"
This grave issue must be decided by
the president and congress. With them
he thought it could be left N the con-
hdent expectation that a wise solution
would be reached. He invited attention
to some observations on the general
subject of national expansion.
A difference existed between an ex-
pansion of the United States and that
of Great Britain which came promi-
nently into view when our new states
were compared with independencies

All the Passengers Taken Off

Heath Point. Que, Sept. 2s-Theover-
due steamer Scotsman is ashore in the
Straits of Belle Isle. The steamer
Montfort, carrying 200 of her passen-
gers, has passed in.
Montreal, Sept. 28.-The local agents
of the Dominion line have received in
formation that the steamer Montfort
has $50 passengers of the steamer
Scotsman which is ashore on the
Straits of Belle Isle and the agents
think this number will include all the
passengers
A special train will be sent to take
them off. This will be a sort of relief
train for it is understood that there is
not sufficient food on board the Mont
fort to satisfy the rescued people. 1t
seems that the accident to the Scots
man was due to an error on the part
Of the officers who made a mistake
about the new light in the Straits of

sci will be a total wreck.
