Uncle Sans Odd Expenses.

Everyone knows that it cost almost
S400,0O0,0C0 a year to run the United
States Government in times OF peace,
and the departments OF War and
Navy, the Indian and Pension bur
eaus, absorb the larger part OF this
amount; but in the ours Of years a
large number OF dependents upon
Uncle Sans purse have come into
being Of which the general public
knows little. Such, for example. are
the International Bureau for the Re-
preston Of the African Slave Trade,
located ut Brussels, a highly laud-
able institL ton, to the expenses OF
which our Government contributes
300 a year; the International Bureau
Of Weights and Measures. also Mt

our Government shares TO the extent
OF $500 yearly. AS a leading mem.

thropic work, we subscribe 1926 n

divided among citizens OF other
lands for services rendered to ship
wrecked American seamen; $500 n

for sailors ut Panama, and 10000 for
keeping and feeding American con
victs imprisoned in foreign countries.

The UnauthorItntIre Assurance OF
Senator Hanna Set at Saught.
Lieutenant Colonel Jacob H.Smith,
the distinguished commander o. the
Twelfth regular infantry, now win
ming renown in the Philippines, does
not agree with those military and
other optimists who are predicting
the early suppression Of the Aguinal-
do insurrectlon,
-The United States must UNDER
stand writes Col. Smith, that we
are only in the beginning Of this war
and that it will take 100000 soldiers
to put down the trouble we ore now
beset with in the Philippines. The
army here which is minus the tried
veterans has a very alarming amount
Of sick men and officers, and there
appears to be no let up. owing to our
having SD many soft recruits
How differently this sounds from
Senator Hanna's contidant assurance
that Tie Philippine revolt will be
ended within six months-and COM
ing from a tried and trained soldier
like Col. Smith who Is on the scene
OF operations, how much more
authoritative Persons desirous OF
getting at the truth &c the Philippine
situation cannot fail 10 be impressed
by this latest report. 1t sounds the
judgement Of a man whose business
it is TO correctly cstimate the quail
titles OF a foe all 10 weigh carefully
all the chances pertaining TO u cam
paign.
1t is natural, however. that Hanna
and his followers should wish to min.
imize as much us possible the menace
OF the Philippine situation. Admin
istration Secretiyeuess concerning the
Administration policy regarding the
permanent disposition OF the Philip
pines was largely responsible for the
outbreak Of the Instruction. Adj
ministration laundering and favorit-
ism are responsible for.the prolonged
conflict. The Administration must
needs convince the people that the
outlook is not serious-if such a feat
is possible to its mouthpicces. Han
ma is pleading earnestly for the Pres
ident when he so bravely predicts n
speedy restoration of peace in the
Philippines. 1t is very unfortunate
that, with the exception OF the Presi-
dents favoritc. Otis, the army officers
in the Philippines do not agree with
the Hanna forecast.
With Otis press censorship sup

tiers like that Of Col. Smith. They
desire the facts concerning the Phil
ippine campaign. II we are in for a
long war 1t ia better that the certain
ity be known. Tho administration
itself would act wisely in recognizing
this truth and adopting n policy Of
greater frankness in its dealing with
