AS TO

Many of the most intelligent and
fair newspapers have criticized Fun
ston's performance with decided vigor
question now up is that having bagged
his game by falsehood and forgery,
what shall be lone with his unfortun-
ate victim? The capture of Aguinal-
do will not end the war if he is really
of not so much Importance as supposed
to the Filipinos at wal with the in
vaders and would-be-conuuerors. The
Washington Post of the Sth instant,
mentions that it is insisted by some
that he a never been the real head
Of the ~so-called insurrection, and as
serts that, on the contrary. the whole
Filipino movement. has been inspired
and directed by persons in Manila, act
Ing under the very noses of our au-
thorities. General S. NJ. B.. Young,
just returned from Manila, is reported
as having spoken very much to this
effect in Chicago on Saturday last" If
this is correct then Funston did not
bag after all the real inspirer and lead
NAN "oA IL NAAoI Z ll1oJ 81
on indefinitely. The Post evidently
regards Aguinaldo as a very important
instrument for it says two weeks
or so g he was regarded as
the head n front the brain and
muscle of the instruction" Today,
albeit a prisoner in MacArthur's hands
he seems to be our chief hope in the
matter of establishing American SOW
ereignty in the Philippines" We
read lately in a North Carolina news
paper hat a returned soldier of mis-
state after a veal and a half military
experience in the Philippines, gave It
as his opinion that the 40, 600 Ameri-
a soldiers could have ended the war
long ago if those in authority had so
resolved. He thinks good berths and
soft places have delayed the end. Agu-
inaldo has sem a message to his peo-
pie to lay down their arms, and accept
amnesty from the United States.

The Public School Library Law

The following is an abstract of the
act passed by the last legislature:
No school district in an incorporated
town can receive the benefit of the act.
The patrons and riendS of any free
public school shall raise by private sub
scription and tender to the county su-
p~erintendent the sum of $40. The coun-
" board of education shall appropriate
SO from the money belonging to that
school district and shall appoint a man.
ager for the library and one competent
person to select books for said library.
When the county board of education
shall have made the appropriation and
the appointments required. the county
superintendent of schools shall inform
the secretary Of the state board of ed
ucation of the fact, who will forward
the sum of $40 for the purchase OF
books. Upon receipt of this money, the
county superintendent of schools will
turn over the $50 to the person appoint
ed to select books. who will select and
purchase such books as he or she may
deem best suited for such purpose and
file the vouchers with the county su-
perintendent of schools for the whole
amount. NO voucher shall be valid ex-
cept for books and transportation
charges.
The manager is to carry out the rules
and regulations furnished by the state
superintendent of public instruction.
Local managers may exchange Ii
braries once in six months, without ex-
pense to the school fund. Not more
than six libraries under the library law
are allowed to any county.

THE MEANING OF THE KAlSER'S
ALI

Emperor william keeps up the ex-
citement in Germany and disturbs
neighboring peoples. What does his
oratory amount to? Does he aim at
war? Will he make a COUP or return
to prophecies of troublous times ahead?
Is he only aiming 20 arouse specula-
ton and excite his own people? His
speech as given out was mysterious
and probably mean a good deal. He
said:
"a hand from out of the people was
recently raised against me. to my in
tense sorrow. Evidently serious times
are coming, which will try our mettle.
I know that the army is true to its
traditions and to the solemn oath it has
taken. L know it will remain steadfast
and faithful to me.
My conviction is especially strong
as to the Guards. This regiment now
present is tied to the HohenZollerns by
indissoluble bonds. as the past has
shown during the troublous times
abroad and even during revolutionary
times at home.
The authority of the crown must be
maintained at all hazards. Woe to the
soldier who listens to the voice of the
tempter!"

it an alarm signal for the nations?
London advices are to the effect that
the Kaiser considers the attack
to take his life as an evidence of his
unpopularity. and it is believed that he
really m~editates some startling stroke
that will dazzle his own people while
greatly astonishing the nations The
London Saturday Review thinks he will
denounce the American Monroe doctrine
as dangerous. 1t saws: "It (the Monroe
doctrine) menaces the legitimate devel-
opment of European countries. We have
reason to know that it has excited the
gravest apprehensions of the future in
the governing circles of Germany
His fiery talks nave stirred Europe
and speculation is rife. The London
Spectator says that there are actual
ly whispers of a regency in order hat
the emperor might enjoy a long term
of tranquility in which to recruit. We
don't see the ground for believing any
rumor Of that kind. There is little doubt
however, that public confidence in him
is shaken"
