Ex-senator Geo. F. Edmunds,
in a letter addressed to the New
York World, reviews the Phil
ippine question at length. He
describes briefly the physical as
poets of the islands and the char
acter of their inhabitants. The
population, he shows, is already
denser than that of the State of
Michigan" and says that "of
the total of all this conglomerate
Of races the Europeans and
Americans compose less than
two per cent after more than 200
years of European occupation. y
He claims that the people "never
have been and never can be in
need of or consumers of American
productions to any appreciable
extent

tonished the naval powers Of the
world" gave us control only OF
the bay and city of Manila and
it's environments-nearly all be-

an organized rebellion against

islands who were carrying on
the rebellion in order to be free
and independent do not desire to
be annexed, and that they intend
to resist annexation" Mr.. Ed.

He then proceeds to show
what a war of conquest would

AS to the status of the Philip

CONSPICUOUS INSTANCE
Where a Newspaper Has Met the Demand,
of the Times


In these days when the interests of the
American people are so varied and s."
wide spread, the demands made upon the
publishers and editors of the great daily
newspaper have been corrcspondingly in.
creased. Skill and judgment are called
for more than ever before. To keep
abreast of the news. to be accurate in its
statements, to print what the people
want and to present in attractive form,
is task for the newspapers Of growing
difficulty. But very few papers can be
said to achieve the task. Conspicuous
among them is the Boston Journal. The
news of the world is given each day, in
it's columns, fresh, readable, with its sig
nificance made plain and free from the
rubbish and sensationalism that get into
so many papers these days. 1t is pleas
urc to note that the Boston Journal has
fully met the demands of the time.

Fashion stories aud fashion pictures
take up much space in all the newspa-
pers at the day. Particularly IS tins so
in the Sunday papers; but for the most
part papers seem to print impossible de-
signs. which are mainly the cranky pro-
ducts OF extremist designers. Il is our
observation that The Boston Herald
publishes the most desirable fashion
plates. These plates are pictures in facts,
in which real pictures wear real clothes.
People one would be glad to know. and
who wear clothes which are fashionable,
and in which men oi taste would like to
see their wives. sisters and sweethearts
attired. Such fashion pictures not only
attract the attention of women, but as
well that of the men. This should he a
hint to women. Ii men like the Boston
Herald fashion plates, would they not
like women attired in gowns equally at
tractive. The good qualities of the Bos
ton Sunday Herald are not confined to
fashions. In every department the SAINT
zeal and enterprise displays Itself, and
IN consequence, our readers will find mucl
to their liking ON every one of its many
pages.

England and the Transvaal were then

The treaty concerning the transfer of
land was drawn up by an American
missionary named OmanS.
We felt the country was ours by the
purchase of cattle and blood. In 1912
the English entered Natal, raised the
Union Jack and said This is ours. -
The Afrikanders submitted to the edict
and moved to the Orange Free State
only to be again followed by England
who laid claim to the territory. We
moved without a murmur over the
River Vaal and made settlements,
when yet again England claimed the
territory. It was then we said MOI
and had recourse to arms, which re-
suited in the defeat of the English at
Maiuba Hill and the ultimate triumph
of the Afrikander forces.

Sandringham every year. The first is
the county ball, to which all the local
magnates are invited; the second is the
tenants ball, at which all the farmers
appear, and the other is the servants
ball. At all three the Prince and Prin-
cess and their family, well as the
guests in the house, do their best to
make everybody at home and comfort
able, showing the true spirit of hos
pita1iry.
The ballroom is situated on the left
hand side looking towards the entrance
hall. There is another doorway open
ing on to the front, which connects
also with all the halls and passages,
and also with the ballroom, which is
used when dinner dances and private
theatr1cals are in progress. for large

entertainments as well as concerts are

The north hall contains more tro-
pines collected in India. A magnificent
Tiger mounted by Roland Ward is es-
pecially nOticea bic, while some mag
innocent stays heads are to be seen on
the walls. Here, as elsewhere all over
the mouse, is prOfusiOn of palms,
and during the stay Of the Prince and
Princess the huge Conservatives are
ransacked to such an extent that the
mouse resembles a flower garden
The north hall is devoted to Indian
trophies. The library, which is also
the Pr1nce's room, is very complete,
WhlIe the draWing-rOOnS are superb.
Here, as everywhere, are masses of
PAINS and flowers in profusion, while
iaTSe mum berS of photographs of royal
personages and personal friends of the
Prince and Princess take away from
the usual English soIemnity of the
drawing-room and make it a wonder
fully coy apartment. The furniture is
covered with pale blue satin damask
ana the curtains and hangings are of
velvet. The floor is of polished oak and
IS covered with rich-colOred India
rugs A large conservatory opens out
from these rooms.
Close by is the Princess Of Wales

it is the Prince of Wales private writ

course it is only for the use Of the
household.
Punctuality at Sandringham is an
absolute necessity, as by the Princes

late for dinner and keeping royalty
waiting is an impossibility if attention
be paid.

The Transvaal Republic, more than
any other, has been grossly misrepre-
sented- This is more to be attributed
to Ignorance than to wilful desire to
wrong a people.
The term of Boer, for instance, is in
correct. The Boer applies only to the
farmer. The correct name of the peO-
pie of the Transvaal Republic is Afr
kanders-" This signifies all the cul-
tured people, black and white, of the
Republic; all the citizens, all the people
whose home is there; all those who
dwell in the towns and who are the
These are "Afrikanders.' The word
Boer means countrymans and it would
be just as correct to speak of a nation

Republic, as a nation of cOuntrymen
signifying the United States.
OUR ORIGIN.
We are the descendants of the first
Dutch settlers who landed on the most
southerly point of Africa in 1862, and
the French Huguenots, who were
driven from France by the revocation
OF the ed1ct of Nantes in 1885, and
sought refuge in Holland and ulti-
mately went to South Africa.
We hold Cape Colony, the Orange
Free State, Natal and the TransvaaI
The orange Free State and TranSVaaI
are Republics, while the other two are

as one people. We are one as regards
our future, and what affects one at
fects all. In 1906 when war between
Holland and England took place. we
were ruled by the British. and we
would not have interfered had we been
governed wisely. Our rulers, how
ever, simply gave US military govern
ment, and fOrgetful of the rights of
the people at large sought to glorify
themselves. They made no attempt
to advance our interests.
The most awful thing in our history
was the Jameson Raid in 1890. This
raid was planned by Cecil Rhodes, who

hcatlon of the restrictions surrounding
the admission to citizenship, and in the

cal laws as were contemplated would
mean the overthrow of the Republic
Mr. Chamberlain, the British Colo
NAL Minister, is evidently Matching the
present trouble, and England cannot
but be cOgniZant of the fact. True
there was an education grievance.
Outlanders were unable to educate
their children elsewhere than in Dutch
schools, but the law of 1896 provided
for English schools wherever needed
of the taxes alleged. 1t is true there
is a poll tax of IS head and an indi-
rect taxation on importations which
simply amounts to a custom duty.
1t is also true that we tax mining
materials, but in view of the fact that
huge dividends are earned, We feel JUS
titled in so doing. The dividends vary
from $40 per cent. to 300 per cent The
owners of the mines are fully protect
ed, so why should they not be taxed?
1t is wrong to believe that our lead
ers in the present crisis are of Dutch
extraction. Many of them are not. In
Johannesburg we have leaders named
respectively Hancock, Quinn, Watkins
and Lovejoy, so you can easily see that
in the coming fight we will not be all
Dutch Many of our leaders are native
born, but there are just as many who
were born under other flags. The
world has been grossly mislead by evil
reports regarding my country. The
facts in our case should not be mis-
represented.
It hardly seems possible that Eng
land is opposing US. She seems like
another nation-nOt like the England
we have known. If she still persists
in her unholy warfare. she may see
that God still reigns. He alone can
give grace to His people and bestow
upon them the victory Pray for US
pray that England may stay her hand
and not permit this blot to sully her
fair name. Pray God that He may
give US peace, or if not, that He may
raise friends for us, so that we may
remain in possession of our homes and
lands purchased at so great a price.
