THE question of what to do with the
islands that fell to our lot in the war
with Spain, is one that has engaged
the earnest attention of all parties.
The President says the policy of the
Administration is to fit the Cubans
''for a regenerated existence by en-
forcing the supremacy of law and JUS
tice, "and to "take every rational step to
aid the people of Cuba to attain to that
plane of self conscious respect and self
reliant unity which fits an enlightened
community for self-government." In
treating of the Philippine Islands, Mr.
Mckinley says, "Few graver RESPONSE
biIites have been confided to us. If
We accept them in spirit worthy of our
race and traditions, great opportun-
ity comes with them. The islands lie
snder the shelter of our flag, aud are
eurs by every title of law and equity.
They cannot be abandoned If we de
sert them we leave them at once TO
anarchy and finally to barbarism. We
fling them, golden apple of discord,
smong the rival powers. Their rich
pIains and valleys would be the scenes
sf endless strife and barbarism." Mr..

WE published last week communi-
cation under the title of ''Pooh Bah
Universities, which seems to speci-
ally trouble some of the friends of a
former citizen of this town who see in
it only personal attack. This loyalty
to him by his friends is very admirable
and not to be wondered at from their
point of view Unfortunately they
think it is confined to one individual.
If these people were in possession of
the facts that are before us, the hori-
zon of their vision would take in
naany rather than one. The subject
matter of the communication in refer
ence to titles from diploma Mills
was in reference to recipients at large
and to no one individual, and applied
to no one aChO ipas free from the inn
putGtjOn.
We have evidence in our possession
from more than one President of the
leading universities in the United
States, in regard to the fraudulent
character of so-called Chicago Insti-
tutions that have conferred de-
grees upon persons In Delaware,
and we have the right to publish
them in full under their own full
signatures. However we will for
bear for the. present. We mention
this fact because we are able to back
up everything that has been published
in this paper, with evidence that can
not be thrown aside. Every fair
minded, intelligent man must sooner
or later agree with our course. 1t is
in the interest of truth and nothing
else.
The business of procuring titles
from diploma Mills"-an array of
ones self in borrowed plumage-is is
not confined to one but unfortunately
is found in the ranks of many denomi-
nations. There are probably score
of them bearing titles from bogus in
stitutions, on the Peninsula. The re-
suit is to discredit the titles which are
earned or bestowed by genuine col
leges and universities, and make them
comparatively worthless. 1t is nefar-
| ious business and an insult to institu-
tions of learning recognized b: schol-
ars, and indeed to scholars themselves,
and ought to be stopped. The news.
paper is only filling its proper sphere
when it gives space to the voice of the
people who feel that fraud is being
perpetrated on them.
We could hardly do otherwise than
publish the communication of Presi
dent Harper of the University of
Chicago, when he addressed the editor
of this paper under his own signature
calling attention to mistatement pub
lished with reference to the institution
over which he presides.

Christmas shopping made
easy.
Out-of-town people, have
you any idea how comfortable
it is to shop at Wanamaker's?
You leave your parcels and
wraps at the parcel-room, near
the door Market and City
Hall Square), and then begin
your looking just as comfort
ably as if we brought each
counter into your own home.
When you make your first
buy, ask for a transfer-slip,
have each purchase marked
on it, and when you have fin
ished buying, go to the trans
fer-desk, give shipping direc-
tions, and pay for all at once.
In the meantime, take lunch
in the basement or in the tea
room third floor Chestnut
street-by the way, the earlier
the comfortabler) and, if you
get tired, rest in the waiting
room on the first floor or the
basement, whichever is near
est.
As for amusement, there's
plenty of it with the cat
show, the bird-show, the pic
lures, the toys, the furnished
rooms, the different stores full
of pretty things-books, fancy
articles, jewelry, and all sorts
of small stuff in the middle of
the store, the bric-a-brac on
the second floor, and so on.
Everypart ofthe store thinks
it is a Christmas place just
now, and, if you think SO too
why so it is. There are
some good culinary souls
who'd rather have a new kind
of baking-tin for Christmas
than anything else-and why
! not?

Our government seems to be in a
most excellent financial condition.
The receipts in the opinion of the Sec
retary of the Treasury, will exceed the

surplus of $40, 900, 900 is anticipated.

points out, confidence prevails, there
Is increased activity in industry and

THE question of Trusts and their
growing power and influence, has been
a matter of alarm to the people. 1t is
gratifying to know that President Nc
Kinley takes a positive stand against
trusts, which, he says, are "obnox-
ious not only to the common law, but
sIso to the public welfare" tits to be
hoped" he concludes, after discus
sion of the subject, ''that means may
be found by the Congress within the
limits of its constitutional power to so
supplement an effective code of State
legislation as to make complete sys-
tenn of laws throughout the United
States adequate to compel general
observance of the salutary rules to
which have referred"
