Governor Of the Province of TnrInc.

Tarlac, Luzon, Feb. 19.-The United
States Philippine commission decided
yesterday after a conference that it
would not be wise to postpone the or

in the province Of Tarlac. AS the first
step in the work Of organization the
commission determined to appoint an
American as governor Of the province,
the selection falling upon Capt. Wallis
O. Clark, OF the Twelfth United States
infantry. There are two native fac
tions seeking to control the affairs of
Tarlac, the strongest being led by
Macabulos, whose loyalty is questioned
by all the military officers. The in
difference Of the people is obvious.
There IS a manifest lack of enthusiasm.

Laybourn Speaks.

II am against the holding of a spe.
cial session of the legislature during
the coming winter, because l am in.
terested in st. Louis county and it,
welfare"
So said George r. Laybourn, repre-
sentative from the Fifty-first district
in Duluth yesterday.
81 know positively that if there is a
special session of the legislature to
consider revision of tax laws. which
is, of course. the only thing for which
one will be called, there will be a
vigorous effort made to take the min
ing taxes away from this county and
make them payable to the state.
Representative Jacobson will lead
this fight and he will have the support
of the best workers in the legislature.
He contends that the mines are the
property of the state at large. just as
are railroads, and that the revenue
from them should GO to the state at
large. He will seek to have that idea
embodied liz a constitutional amend
ment.
81 am afraid that he will be able to
do it, for it will be matter that our
small delegation will be powerless to
prevent. It would be hard fight at
any time and doubly so at special
session, where there were no other
matters in which our support would
be sought for, enabling us to use a
leverage that would bring US votes.
1"The sentiment is general that the
mines are paying about one quarter of
what they ought to in taxes, or even
less. OF course the amount is certain
to be increased next year, and it will
be even more attractive to the
country legislator then than it is
now. AS he sees ST. Louis county

does not appeal to him. He will use

leaving this country to bear the bur-

How an Akron Young Woman Views the Attack
on Rev. DoWe.

Although prominent in the First Con-
greSational church at one time, Miss
kasson said she had not known what
1t meant to lead Christian life un-
I'll she knew the teachings of the Chris
tian Catholic church, as the church or
today has gotten into the world and
the world has gotten into the church.
Concerning Rev" Dowie's declara-
tion that he was Elijah, Miss liasson
said it was very generally misunder-
stood and that much which is absolute
ly false is published by newspapers
hostile to the Christian Catholic church
and very little which Is true, largely
because Rev. Dowie was misunder,
stood, misquoted and misinterpreted.
She believed that in him the spirit OF
Elijah had come again to earth to
save sinners, but no member of the
church understood Rev. Dowie to mean
that he was Elijah descended from
heaven.

rapidly elsewhere, 1t now has a mem,
bership of 10000 in the U. S.
