particularly true of lung diseases. As soon

fate. He wouldn't act that way if he were

PLEA FOR CIVIL SERVICE.

They need roads out there, and their
construction is the first necessity when
peace is restored to the islands. Then
after that should come the schools Let
these be established and the mission
aries admitted to every province and
success Wtll be assured.
But one thing | wish to emphasize
more than any other point. that / have
lwelt upon. We must make an honest
civil service a permanent institution on
the islands. Spain established the spo.ls
system, and the corruption which has
followed from it has made three centu-
res of evil government for the people,
and finally resulted in her own over
throw. The best man in the United
States Is none too good to go to the Phil
qpines as Governor General. He must
nete out justice to all and teach the
Filirinos by his decisions and example
that he is their friend. By sending ont
uch man we win succeed, but III we
send an ordinary political appointee WE
hail fail. | ann confident that the right
man will be sent, and then our expert
ment will be a national success"
