WITH PERFECT CONFIDENCE
We May Trust Settlement Of Philippine Qucs-

Ithaca, y. Y, Aug. 21.-President
Schurman reached Ithaca today. He
stated that his views as to American

consented to make several general OBJ
scrvation. He said:
First, the United States having as
sumed sovereignty over the Philippine
islands by virtue Of the treaty Of peace
with Spain, the Chief Executive of the
republic is engaged in establishing that
sovereignty. The issue, today, is not
Il commercial one. although the natur-
al rcsorces Of the Philippine islands
are of great value and wait only
American capital for their develop
ment. Nor is the question one Of pOlit-
zeal expediency or Of party politics. al
though in it's collateral branch there
may be aspects on which political par
ties may properly divide. The ques-
ton, today, is purely a moral ques-
ton. The vital question is the honor
Of the nation. the protection Of local
FiIipinos and the fuIfment Of our OBJ
legations to the nations Of the world
involved in our acceptance Of sover-
eighty.
Secondly, the means and agencies
for the accomplishment of this end
must be determined by the President
and it is well to bear in mind that the
President understands the situation
better than any one else can possibly
do, inasmuch as he is in receipt of in
formation from a variety Of sources.

A Selfish Man Punished.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train
a few evenings ago We're treated to a
spectacle of retributive justice that
tickled them famously. The car was
crowded, and, as the dust was flying
pretty thickly, all the passengers save
one had their windows down. This I'M
pleasant exception was a disgruntled-
looking party. with a plentiful growth
of weedy-looking whiskers, and these
he allowed to sway in and out of the
window with the gusty, zephyrs. OF
course, he got none of the dust and
cinders, for these always blow in the
seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfor-
tunate quarters, and, after suffering
martyrdom for about twenty minutes,
one of them asked the "open- window
fiend" if he would mind putting the
window down. NOT he replied, gruff-
ly. Its too warm. If You don't like
it change your seat
In front ofsthe man sat a travelling
man, who took in the situation at a
glance. Quick as a flash he raised the
window, and instanter the flowing
facial appendages of the man behind
began to perform a most fearful series
of gyrations. The dust speckled them,
and the wind twisted them. Their
owner, after few moments of such
violence, got red in the face and then
put his window down. A few moments
later he leaned over and asked the
other passenger to shut off the draught
in a similar manner, but, to the in
tense amusement and qualification of
the balance Of the people in the car,
who had watched the little comedy all
the way through, the drummer, with
out so much as twinkle of the eye,
replied: mo! It's too warm. If you
don't like it change your seat."-Phila-
