THE little story on the siege OF Mar
ragansett Pier by the slot machine
printed on this page, is well worth
reading. The slot machine habit is
one of the most fascinating aud insidi-
Gus imaginable. 1t will be observed
that matronly women and small chill
dren play the machine at the famous
resort, and that some people do not
think of it as gam bling at all. But the
experience of the young man, in "hav-
ing q girl of nine years explain to him
the workings of a new tangled roulette
wheel'', is theme to induce little
serious thought in the minds Of serious
people.

It almost looks like inevitable fate
that we should sooner or later have TO
take over all these little outlying
places for our own protection and
theirs. Well, the map would look bet
ter all one color, anyhow, aud as long
az the United States has nothing but
national conscience in the way, it is
to be expected that she will do what
seems best from a commercial and
strategic standpoint.

THE results of the peace conference
at The Hague constitute little more
than a report of progress, and very
little progress at that. Still. as has
been said by several OF our own re-
representatives. there, the results are con-
siderably greater than might have
been expected. A large proportion OF
the powers signed the arbitration con-
vention, and while there is nothing
contained therein that would prevent
war, even over trivial pretexts: be-
tween the signatory nations, neverthe-
less the existence of such compact 1s
undeniably of value as providing
a good excuse for delay, at least, and
it is evenspossible that some nations
might be brought to take advantage OF
the arbitration court. 1t is more than
likely that as the years go by, rs Am
bassador White says, the appeals to
the court of the nations will become
the more frequent and the more ma
tural, resulting in gradual d1m1nu-
ton in the numb Der Of wars. The re-
suit of the conference seems step In
advance, not very long, but not likely
to be retraced. The protocol drawn
up may be regarded as the most con-
servative declaration that could pos
sibly be made. It does not represent
the sense of either people or
governments, but simply the common
ground on which all can stand without
any sacrifice or fancied sacrifice OF ma
tional dignity or independence. The
mere existence of such court Of arbi-
tration as is provided for will no doubt
tend to establish a greater degree OF
understanding among the several ma
tions, and inasmuch as compliance
with the forms of law in time leads to
a comprehension of its spirit 1t is quite
possible that from this little much will
result. In any event, let us give to the
car of all the Russias full credit for
having suggested and brought about
this magnificent gathering of some of
the worlds master minds.

WILL THIS END THE WAR?

The army of sixty.fve thousand
will have to be increased to an least
one hundred thousand before we can
garrison the principal towns of Lu.
ION. When we have the towns\ prop
erly garrisond and Aguinaldo's army
scattered or destroyed, we shan have
to keep our army there to enforce
peace. We cannot depend upon the
amigos, or friendly Fiipinos, because
almost hundred per cent of them
are loyal to their country's cause.
They see the great American land
syndlcates getting ready to swallow
up their homes and evict them from
their lands. The holy orders have
been odious to the people of Luzon,
yet they have only charged rent of
about three cents year an an acre OF
land. The Tagals are not short sight
ed enough to believe that a change of
task makers will benefit them. They
can make living now without being
driven Like slaves and they feel that
as the victims OF an amateur colonial
ton scheme the future has for them
no hope or star. So that from the ten
millions of people on tie islands we
may expect nothing but bitter and
relentless hatred.
During my stay in Manila 1 be-
came acquainted with the brother of
Aguinaldo's private secretary. This
man was All amigo, working in the
palace, yet he had the bitterest preju-
dice against the Americans. After I
had gained his confidence, he told me
his real sentiments. / do not give
his name, not wishing to injure him,
but the following is the substance of
what he told me:
"For America to attack the Fill.

cans because in that way l can bot
ter help to overturn their rule. l
want to learn a few civilized arts 30
that with the help OF my people | can
turn them to advantage in our future
wars with the Americans. You are a
nation of supreme thieves-you rob
US worse than tie Spaniards
because you have better guns with
which to collect your Infamous taxes.
You will never conquer the Tagals.
We will waste and wither you with
the waste and expenditures of a ruin
Gus war. My theory is. Make peace
with the Americans till we have
learned the arts of civilized war-then
drive you oppressors into the sea-.
Our homes we're pure-your soldiers
polluted them, Our people could
live under Spain. but you Americans
have taxed the heart blood from the
people. You are vampires and the
curse of God will follow you till your
proud republic falls into sea Of
blood."-Rev. Peter MacQueen in

The Lifetlme of a Book.

The following from the Youths Com
panion on the durability Of books printed
long ago is surely true in the case Of a
book recently purchased by the library
from a secondhand book store in Lon
don, England; the book was published
in 1889. The leaves are yellow with age.
but 1t Is to all appearances capable OF
existence another hundred years. The
softly tinted illustrations are beautiful
to look at even in these days Of fine
illustrations.
Books printed four centuries ago still
exist, with their paper in good condi-
ton, but if the committee recently ap-
pointed by the Society Of Arts in London
to study the deterioration Of modern
paper is not seriously mistaken, multi
tudes of books printed to-day will be
very shOrt-lived. Perhaps, in many
cases, that fact is not to be regretted.
If bad and worthless books could always
be printed on paper that in few years
turns to dust, and good books always on
enduring paper, the makers of bad paper
would, after all, be benefactOrs Of the
public. The committee referred to finds
that paper containing mechanical, or
ground, wood-pulp especially tends to-
both disintegration and discoloratiOn.
Papers consisting mainly of f1bers OF cot
ton, fax and hemp are more lasting"

Hon. A. c. Rankin, of Chicago. the
"MolGer Orator." opened the republican
campaign in Ottumwa last night, at
which time he addressed one of the
largest ard most enthusiastic audi
ences ever assembled at the Turner OPP
era house. The large, spacious build
ing was barely adequate to the de-
mands made on its capacity, and for
more than two hours, Mr.. Rankin
poured forth stream of logic and
principles of right and justice which
called forth loud and hearty applause
at frequent intervals. ''rhe Molder
Orator" is unquestionably one of the
most forcible political speakers OF the
day, and he was at his best last night.
A slight hoarseness was somewhat to
his disadvantage but that did not in
tsrfere with his demonstration of re-
!, publican principles and the utter over
throwing of all the argument that has
been advanced by the democrats in the
present campaign. Tariff, trusts, i'm

pervious heap under the blow from this

Rallingall hotel to the hall by the Wa

His reception was an ovation, which
was joined in by the many women who
were present at the meeting last even
ing. Mr.. Rankin responded substantial
~ as follows:
