SUBLIME or RIDICULOUS.

The attitude of the Filipinos is sub
lime or ridiculous, according to the
point of view. 1t is sublime If they
really think that they are going to be
oppressed by the United States and are
determined to die in the last ditch in
defense Of their inalienable rights. 1t
is ridiculous if they are strutting
around like bantam ROSTERS and MAX
ing bluff. The latest news from Ma
Mia is that the congress at Malolos has
adopted the Philippine constitution,
passed a vote of confidence in Aguinal-
do and empowered him to declare war
on the Americans whenever he deems it
advisable. At mass meeting of wo-
men at Cavite, the paper adds, 1t was
enthusiastically resolved to petition
Aguinaldo for permission to take mems
places in defense of independence and
to bear arms if necessary.
This reads much as some news that
was once received in England from
this country read If 1t means as much
as that news did it will take a great
deal of time and trouble, and perhaps
some bloodshed, to straighten out the
situation. But if there are only few
professional rebels in the Philippines to
be dealt with the strain may soon cease.
Isn't it queer that anybody can be
found in those islands willing to reject
the blessings we are ready to shower
upon them?

They aren't all dead yet and the kill
err Of them is needed in Texas. Dudley
G.. Wooten Of Dallas, Texas the leader
of the house in the Texas legislature,
actually introduced o resolution in the
house last Monday in favor of Texas
withdra wing from the federal union.
He was inspired by his idea of the rul-
ing of Internal Revenue Commissioner
Scott to the effect that the official bonds
Of county and municipal officers must
have war revenue stamps attached to
them. The ruling stirred the old state
sovereignty prejudices of Wooten, and
he rose in his wrath with a view Of
showing the United States that, if nee
essary, Texas can take care of herself
1t doesn't appear, however, that Mr..
Wooten commanded the sympathy of
many of his associates. Several Of them
promptly denounced his resolution, but
it received sufficiently respectful treat
ment to be sent over to the next day
for final action.
Texas won't secede from the Union,
and Mr.. Wooten won't, although he can
be spared.

Trio UBLE IN VIENNA

Vienna has discovered that hatred of
the Jews doesn't necessarily make a
public official efficient. The correspon-
dent Of the London Standard in Vienna
gives an interesting account of the COM
plete failure of the administration of
Dr. Lueger, the anti-Semitic burgomas-
ter Of the Austrian capital. He has
found it impossible to redeem his ante
election pledges, and has allenated
many of his supporters by his failure
to provide them with public offices.
His most conspicuous blunder has been
the construction of the municipal gas
works. He could have had the entire
works and plant of the Imperial Con-
tinental Gas association for sixteen mill
lion forms, while the new works will
cost forty million forms, besides being
badly planned and worse executed

next October, when the new lighting
is to come into use. Main pipes have
been found to be cracked and have had
to be replaced by better ones; whole
streets have been dug up a second time
because the pipes were discovered not
to be lying on a solid foundation; and
the lamp-posts being put up through
out Vienna, besides being ugly, are SO
weak that several Of them have been
knocked down by passing vehicles. The
streets of Vienna are in a disgraceful
condition. The finances Of the town are
so heavily encountered by new institu-
tons created to provide posts for GER
tain councillors that sanitation, cleans
ing and education have had to be neg
lected, and the result is that the rates
are being increased, local trade and in
dustry are suffering heavily from the
class hatred in the town, and the gen.
eral condition Is one Of profound dis
satisfaction and anxiety.

crrE COLE GREENS 4 REST.

should golf greens have rest on
Sunday? We think they should, ana
strong legal hint has been given In this
state that Connecticut golf greens must.
Support to the idea that golf green's get
tired has been given by the action of
the Leasowe Club of Liverpool. Fol-
lowing the theory Of "Old Tom Nor
ris of St. Andrews, who declared that
the golf greens needed one days rest
a week as well as the golfers, this club
recently passed a law against the use
of that popular course on Sunday. The
clubs decision was largely influenced
by the assertion of John Ball, Jr., who
is one of the most prominent amateur
golfers of Great Britain and one time
champion, that after the heavy days
play on Saturday the links would not
stand the strain of another heavy day
coming Immediately after, and that if
such play We're permitted the grounds
would be ruined And Chicago comes
forward with testimony that the course
of the one club near Chicago where
Sunday golf was not played steadily
improved throughout the season, while
those of the other clubs late in the fall
showed the effects of two successive
days of hard tramping. This effect was
more noticeable on nine-hole courses,
where the wear and tear of tramping
feet, flying divots and fooled APP
proaches was greater than on those
Boosting eighteen holes.
1t is hard to believe that there are
people who want to play golf Sunday,
but after proof that there are people
who want to play it weekdays it is
possible. 1t is clear, however, that such
people in Connecticut are legally and
bound to restrain themselves.
And if they can be convinced that Sum
day playing will hurt the greens thew
will probably restrain themselves

ground. Dark blue melton was it's ma
terial, blue velvet furnished epaulettes,
and wide black silk braid trimmed both
skirt and bodice, lending bolero eff
feet to the latter.
The dimensions of a stylish skirt
show how much folks in general are in
debted to fashionable women for street
cleaning, or for dust raising, according
to how it is considered. Such skirt
must sweep the ground at least four
inches in the back and two inches in
front. This is the advanced sort, those
that flare out quickly from tightness
at the knees to width of four and a
half yards at the hem. Take one of
these that is untrimmed but for rows
of buttons from waist to hem front and
back, and it looks very swagger. But
the wearer's figure must be good, her
hips proportions perfect Otherwise it
will be charitable to imagine her in
some other form of skirt.
Handsome embroidered and lace
trimmed gowns appear in the robe pat
terms, but the discreet shopper will shun
them unless an exception opportunity
is offered. She will find it wiser for
various reasons to buy materials sep
arately. She can thus obtain better
workmanship, more exclusive designs
and have yard or two Of each ma
terial left for use In case of accidents.
Besides, she can have her gown con-
structed to suit herself, which of itself
1t sufficient reason for most women.

Methods for rendering the nitrogen of
the air available in agriculture are be-
ing considered on account of the theory
held by certain scientists that the
amount of this element found in the
earth is being exhausted. A process to
accomplish this end has lately been pro-
posed by M. Moissan in connection with
his recently discovered method of pro-
ducing pure calcium. The plan sug-
gested consists in bringing the calcium
into contact with nitrogen at a high
temperature, when the metal changes
in color from white to yellow, until it
takes fire at low red heat and burns,
forming bronze-colored nitride. If
this calcium nitride is thrown into water
1T decomposes with effervescence, pro-
ducing ammonia and calcium hydrate.
The metallic calcium is produced by
means of the electric furnace, the nitro
gen is free in the atmosphere, and the
ammonia obtained can be used for anv
of the agricultural or industrial COM
pounds in which it Is desired.
