A Question for the Future.

The country is at least indebted to
Senator Hoar for making it clear just
what he would have us do with the
Philippines. To be sure Dewey. Mer-
rift and other American officers who
have been on the ground do not be-
lieve the Filipinos capable of establish.
ing stable government. and believe
that if they were left to do so a condi-
ton of anarchy would result which
would speedily invite the interference
of several countries who would only
be too glad of SO good an excuse for
securing this territory. Such countries
have long ago outgrown the craven
fear of being great" and do not hest.
tate to- take full advantage of their
opportunities. 1t looks to us as if the
final disposition of the Philippines
were question to be determined by
future events. One thing is certain,
! they are now practically in the possess
sion of the United States. There is no

When the Frost is on the Pane.

When the frost is on the window
And the lawn is covered DER
With foot of snow where pansieS
Spread their petals out before.
o, it's then there is n criSpneSs
In the circuma mbient air
That cOmpels Il man to hustle
When he's going anywhere
Makes him wish that he were like a
Duck that calmly takes its head
And tuckS il meath winglet.
AS child is put to bed.
When the man with flowing whiskers
Carries round a lot Of ice
Dangling downward from his features
Some folks claim to think it's nice
Claim that they enjoy such weather,
That it's best to have ii So
That it fills them full of ginger
And that sort of thing. you know;
But I've noticed that the people
Who praise up the wintry blasts
For the most part do it only
While the summer season lasts.

How 10 Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneumonia
always results from a cold or from an
attack of la grippe. During the epidemic
of Ia grippe Il few years ago when so
many cases resulted in pneumonia 1t was
observed that the attack was never fol-
lowed by that disease when Chamber
iain's Cough Remedy was used, 1t coun-

this question. Certainly any man who

entitled to the respect Of those VINO
may jus. as honestly think otherwise.
II seems to US that this country has,
through the course OF Unforeseen
events, been placed in a position OF
grave responsibility regarding the
Philippines. We have a duty to per-
form there that cannot be lightly
evaded. We cannot turn these islands
over to conditions of anarchy. We
cannot give them back to Spain. nor
would any patriotic American advo-
cate the turning of them over to any
other foreign power. For the present.
at least, under any circumstances, we
mist continue to control and admins
| ter their affairs. What is the need
then of undue precipitancy regarding
them? Why jump at conclusions on
one side or the other? We shall all be
better informed on the merits of the
| question later on, nor will anything be
gained in an attempt to cross bridges
before we come to them. The ultimate
disposition of the Philippines is mat
+, ter to be decided by future develop

| are in the hands of the United States.

considerable time to come.
Possibly events may in time convince

permitting the Filipinos to form pop

alone with their own troubles. and n
