The Register desires to assure its
readers and the general public that the
voting contest now under way, holding
out as prizes ten free scholarships
on the Scranton, Pa, Correspondence
Schools, with free text books, tuition
and instruments, is no ordinary COM
petition. 1t possesses real merit, and
means an education without expendi-
ture in one of ten technical lines
to those receiving the largest number,
of votes. The Correspondence School
is one of the best institutions in the
country for acquiring an education,
and many hundreds of men and wo-
men. young, middle-aged and old, have
become it's pupils, to distinct advGn-
tage. At the present time several
hundred mechanics, artisans and pro-
fesional men, are taking advantage
OF it, while there is a widespread and
deserved interest upon the part of 9TH
ers who have not yet enrolled their
names. The Register proposes to give
every advantage to ten contestants
selected through a popular ballot, and
will supply every requisite absolutely
free of charge In addition we this
morning make an offer of five dollars
to the contestant polling the largest
number of votes by the 18th of Deem
Der, as an inducement to bring in the
votes and as an additional guarantee
of good faith, Vote your coupons and
have your friends vote for you 1t is
not only a good thing, but it costs
nothing.

POLITICAL SOOTHSAYING.
New York Journal.

New York Journal
President Mckinley, in his recent
speech at Philadelphia, undertook to
explain just what the people meant
by Their vote on November 9th Mr..
Mckinley, so far as the public is aware,
never took a course in mind reading,
telepathy, clairvoyance or any similar
science, but nevertheless he feels able
to say of the popular verdict:
1T records the unquestioned indorse-
ment of the gold standard, industrial
independence, broader markets. COM
mercial expansion, reciprocal trade, the
open door in China, the inviolability
of public faith, the independence and
authority of the judiciary, ano peace
and benefcent government under
American sovereignty in the Philip
pines"
We should really like to learn how
President Mckinley knows all this. 1t
is an undoubted fact that many people
who were in favor OF the gold stand
ard were not in favor of American SOW
ereignty in the Philippines If they
voted for Mr. Mckinley because they
thought the financial issue more i'm
portant than any other, how can he
say that their action was an "unques-
toned Endorsement" of American SOW
ereignty in the Philippines?
And what in the name of the holy
Saint Hanna did the election have to
do with the open door in China? When
was that ever made an issue? When
was there any discussion of broader
markets, commercial expansion" or
reciprocal trader"
The truth is that the Presidents
sounding assertion is the reductio ad
absurdum of our present methods of
interpreting public opinion. 1t is
fundamentally impossible for a citi-
zen to express approval or disapproval
Of a dozen different policies by the
single act of voting for particular
candidate. All he can say by such an
act is that for one reason Of another
he prefers that candidate to his rival
He may like the candidates whole
platform, or only one plank in 1t, or
he may not like any part of the plat
form, but may cast his vote wholly
on personal considerations. The effect
of the vote is the same in any case.
The only way in which the desires
of the people on the various issues be
fore them can really be ascertained
is to give the people the right, as in
Switzerland. to vote directly on meas
ures, instead of merely for men.

for we would have to protect the new
waterway by sea as well as by land,
against all corners, and be strong
enough to not only stand off any sim

DO reasonably assumed that quar-

an incessant and heavy annual drain
upon top of that.
An Isthmian canal would be q good

pinos in the field was the hope OF
Democratic victory in the presidential
contest. There was nothing else, ac-
cording to the Republican leaders. the
administration newspapers and the ma
tionai committees efficient adjunct-
the war department-back of the Phil
ippines trouble. Each day the Filipi-.
no leaders were pictured as receiving
messages telling OF the utterances OF
Mr.. Bryan. and with great positiveness
it was asserted by President Mckinley,
through the executive commission, and
by all other Republicans, that the So
called rebellion would collapse the min
ute the Republican President was re-
elected
Almost the first step that followed
the reelection of President Mckinley
was the removal of censorship at Ma
Mia TIL first, news that comes through
uncensored is sent by the efficient rep
Tesentatiyes of the Associated Press
and pictures the greatest activity on
the part of the natives throughout most
if not all, of the islands. The Sultan
OF Sulu, protected in his monopoly OF
the slave trade and his orgie of polyg-
amy and enjoying fat salary from
the United States, seems. to be still quiz
escent; but with the exception Of this
most loyal of President McKinley's
subject princes, there is trouble all
along the line.
1t is, of course, inconceivable that
the election results should not be Known
to these people whom the Republicans
pictured following the progress of the
Democratic campaign with such deep
and touching interest. We are forced
to the conviction, therefore, that the
Presidents commissioners and the Re-
publicans generally made the mistake
of falling to consult the Filipinos when
they mapped out the collapse" pro-
gramme which they so vigorously ex-
plotted. The Filipinos seem no more
pleased with the Mckinley brand of
benevolent assimilation than they were
before the election. That is very
thoughtless of them, but it is a fact.
1t is just possible, since the cam
paign of Misrepresentation is over,
that we may find a general acknowl
edgment on the part of the admins
tration of the real conditions in the
Philippine islands. Campaign exigen-
cies do not now call for the wholesale
branding as TRAITORS and "renegades"
of those who happen to differ with the
Republican programme. 1t is even pos
sible that the Taft commission may
yet touch up the pretty picture it drew
in order to help the reelection Of Mr..
Mckinley and may make it more in
line with the official reports of General
Macarthur.
That able warrior is honest enough
to testify that the rebellion is appar-
emily no nearer an end than 1t was
many months ago, and he suggests the
necessity of the continued presence Of
at least 100000 American soldiers in
order to make the assimilation per-
feet. In the meantime. the experts. at
the war department are figuring on the
increase of the standing army to prob
ably 100000, which is respectfully re-
ferred to the several million able and
patriotic citizens who have Endorsed
such a programme by their votes.

THE TRUST METHOD.
Parkersburg Sentinel.
stream.

Parkersburg Sentinel
A few of the results of the election
beneficent to the trusts, may be noted
thus The Beef Trust has put up the
price of dressed beef one cent a pound
and rduced the price of live cattle The
Steel Trust has increased the price of
its products and reduced wages. The
Coal Trust has advanced the price of
coal one cent a bushel. The Salt
Trust has more than doubled the price
Of table salt. The Standard Oil Trust
has reduced the price of crude oil four
cents. And so it is all along the line
of Trusts and Combines. Very few
people stop long enough to think this
matter over, and to arrive at rea-
son therefor. Even a less number will,
on first thought, agree that it is a po-
litical proposition and not a business
condition that has brought about this
state of affairs. Nevertheless it is so.
In fact there are no conditions exist
ing that justify these changes in the
prices of products. They are the ar
bitrary exercise OF the power TO do so
without restraint from the authorities.
The officers of the law, especially those
directly a part Of the national admin
ISIfdliOH, REFUSE u SHlUEtR the Ia WIS
against trusts, and refuse the authority
to others to enforce them. The nation
al administration declines to become
an advocate Of law. or its executive
The authority and the power of the
general movement is exercised in OPP
posl1on to the laws against trusts,
and not without good reason. In the
recent campaign the trusts contributed
millions to the Republican campaign
fund. and the incentive thereto was
the promise direct from the Presi-
dent that there s.-ould be no inter
ference with the free exercise of their
power in the control of markets to
their greater profits and the oppression
of the people. These advances in the
prices Of goods are first, to return
to e Golfers of the trusts the money
they donated for political purposes, and
second to increase their profits while
they remain in power. There is moth
ing in business conditions that justify
the extraordinary expressions put up
on the people by the trusts. Thus the
Standard Oil Trust is dividing fifty
millions year of profits, and at the
same time reducing e price II pays
the proaucer for crude oil and hold
sing steady or increasing the price OF
the refined product. There is no wage
increase anywhere except in the hard
coal regions OF Pennsylvania, and that
was a political concession before the
election following direct request from
the White House. TIE trusts put up
the necessary corruption fund. and they
are now getting their money back, and
that is all there is to 1t.
