The Manila Pig.

Manila Freedom. One of the
curious sights to an American WIS.,
iting the Chinese and native quar-
ters is the ever present pig; but as
pigs are not allowed at large, they
have an ingenious method of tying
the pigs by the ears. They cut a
small hole through the pigs ear,
one half to an inch in diameter;
through this hole they insert rope,
with large knot on one end.
This rope securely confines the
pigs liberties about the promises
The same sights are seen often on
the native boats and even on the
swell steam launches plying on
Manila Bay. Transporting pigs
through the streets of Manila al
ways attracts crowd, although the
sight is common. The legs of the
pig are tied together securely and
the pig is then suspended on long
pole resting on the shoulders of
the two native carriers. The pig,
with his legs up and head down,
makes about as much noise while
in transit as the pig under gate in
Missouri, and never fails to hold a
crowd.

The good, true citizen will do all
in his power to encourage public
enterprise in the community in
which he lives, whether he may
have money to invest in those en-
terprises or not, and the good citi-
zen who has nothing but his good
will and the benefit of his encour-
agement with which to aid those
enterprises and uses them we'll, is
deserving of far moro credit than
the citizen who, having nothing
but wind" to use, employs it in
fighting, tearing down and driving
away those enterprises which have
been established and keeping away
others which might come to the
community, The latter, while en-
gagged in abusing and discouraging
enterprise, may call the former a
flake" but it does not alter the fact
that the latter is a paralyzer, de-
stroyer, barnaole, a deadweight

for while he consumes the sub
stance of the community, he not
only does not aid in renewing, but
binders and abuses those who would

Mhnt the Yote Shows.

OF course, administration organs
profess to be we'll satisfied with the
election of Nash, the Hanna can
didate in Ohio, which they claim is
an endorsement of the administra-
tion and the policies, including
Imperialism, by the people of Ohio
the Presidents own State.
But let us see if this is true of the
people of Ohio in the light of the
returns and estimates we have up to
date.
The total vote in Ohio was prob
ably more than it was in the last
gubernatorial election in 1897,
when it was s64, 900 in round num-
bers. OF this total vote Bushnell
received 10000, or 1929 per cent.
and Chapman, his Democratic op-
ponent. AZ per cent, about three
per cent. being scattered.
This accepting in the alb
senoe of the completed returns, the
most extreme claims of the Repub-
lican ohairman-with total vote
say $4,000, Nash receives plu.
rality of 5O,OO0-the extreme Re-
publican claim-over Mclean.
Subtracting from the total vote
100000 conceded to be the indie
pendent candidate, Jones, this
leaves the total Republican vote
100000, or but AZ per cent. of the
total vote.
In palmer language, of the, say,
$4,000 Ohio voters who went to
the polls Tuesday, 100000 voted
for the administration candidate,
or, as our Republican friends them
selves prefer to put it, to endorse"
the administration, while 100000
voted against the administration
and to condemn it's policies cast
ing their ballots for Mclean or
Jones in preference to endorsing"

ton, Trusts and Imperialism

An exchange gives utterance to
the following, and what it says
will apply with equal force to
some people in Point Pleasant;
"It is not hard to stand on the
corners and criticise your neigh
bors, public officials and everyone
else Some people can do that
who can't do anything else. There
are few people of that kind of
people here but they are only cum
berers of the ground-they are not
useful in any way that anyone can
discover"

If a girl can't sing all she has to

A liberal education is one that
