Millions in Ii.

Two years have elapsed since
the ratification of the Treaty OF
Paris. The cost, in dollars and
cents, to this country Of the addi.
tion OF those "gems and glories OF
the tropic seas" TO our national
domain, may be summed up in a
lew words:

There are millions in the islands
millions of American money.
There are also hundreds OF Amer.
ican lives sacrificed in the vain
attempt to realize on bad invest
ment and get those millions out,
not to speak ofthousands of Amer
ican lives wrecked by wounds and
disease, and OF the 80, 900 Filipinos
slain. There may be profit and
honor in Asiatic expansion, but
our people have yet TO see it. An
other two years experience like
that we have just passed through
may make them unwilling longer
to continue the experiment and
even anxious to abandon it. Ex-
perIence is a powerful, il bitter,
teacher.

The Lafayette Stock Company will
follow up its succe ssful production OF
"a Social Highwayman" by the revival
during the coming week OF SIR Charles
Young's melodramatic classic, slim,
the Penman." The scene is laid in
England and the action is essentially
novel, though the story deals, as does
The Highwayman, with the dOings
OF criminal in high society. II has
been so many seasons since Tim, the
Pepman, made his last appearance in
Washington that a reference to the
thread OF the story may not be out OF
place. James Ralston, the principal
character, is London business man of
reputed integrity. In reality, he has for
a long time made his way by series OF
skilful iorgeries This is suspected by
noue OF his associates till there appears
on the scene Capt. Redwood. a former
suitor for Mrs. Ralston's hand. Red.
woods defeat IN the matrimonial rae.
was accomplished by means OF forged
letter, and it is a matter OF personal
vengeance for him to bring the penman
to justice. This he does by some clever
detective work which antedates Conan
Doyle's creation Of Sherlock Holmes.

stamp Cancellation.

The paragraph in the War Rev
enue bill regarding stamp cancel.
lation, as corrected by the Senate,
reads as follows:
And provided further. That in lieu
OF, or ia addition to, the present re-
qulreu ent Of the law IN that respect. all
stamps used for denoting the tax upon
iermented liquors or other taxes NAV,
IN the discretion of the Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue, be Cancelled by
perforation, TO be made In such manner
and form as the Commissioner may by
regulation prescribe.
From this it will be seen that
the Commissioner OF Internal Rev
enue is authorized to prescribe
the mode Of cancellation-either
by printing or pertorating or both.
1t is probable both forms will be
used--as at present--untIl a de-
cision is reached as to the more
suitable one. In the Commis-
sioner's hands also is lett the selec
ton Of the manner instrument by
which) cancellation may be per-
formed.
This is a guarantee that the in.
terests OF the Government and of
the brewers-not OF the owners Of
patent devices-will be consulted.

Church NOles.
ITO be Continued

Rev. w. G.. Bates began last Sun
day, at Oak Grove, a series Of SER
mons on, The Worlds "Isms," or
Comparative Religion. He took
Buddhism for his theme. He an
nounced that he would devote the
second and fourth Sundays to the
discussion OF the various religions OF
the world, comparing them with the
religion of Jesus the Christ. His
next sermon In the series will be
preached on the fourth Sunday
morning on Confucianism.
In his treatment OF Buddhism he
gave brief, mprehensive history
of its origin and growth, and he
dwelt upon the teachings OF Budd-
hism. He said these showed that
there was no God in Buddha's teach
ings, but that law was deified; that
to the Buddhist, existence-all exis-
Gence-was evil; that the highest aim
OF the Buddhist was to find relief
from existence; that this conld only
be attained through knowledge
knowledge was nothing but a sight
OF the immutable laws of the uni
verse. Buddha taught that there
was merit in asceticism, self-mortif-
cation and penance. He said: 1.-The
moral code OF Buddhism which has
been summed up as right views,
right thoughts, right speech, right
actions, right living, right exertions,
right recollections, right medltations,
seems to be almosC a perfect code OF
morals, but when viewed in the light
OF the great fundamentals of the sys
TEN they lose all their force. When
analysed in the light OF the Budd-
hist's conception OF God, of existence,
OF immortality, of heaven, they sim
ply present method of REFRESHING
all hope, desires, and at last attain
ing Nirvana-or non existence. The
preacher then compared these con-
captions OF Buddhism, with the
Christians idea OF personal God
and Father; OF the blessedness OF ex-
istence even in this life, and the hope
of blissful immortality Of conscious
existence in the place Jesus the
Christ has prepared for his faithful
disciples.
