ALL SOUTH OF VISAYAS
Eo Organize Under One Provincial
Government
zamkoanga, Island

Zamkoanga, Island OF NTindanao,
April Is D. Moving to the peculiar
conditions prevailing in the Sl1lu archi-
pelago and the island of MindanaO the
Philippine commission has about de-
cided to organize a departmental govern
zment covering all Of the islands south Of
the Visayas.
A uniform general provincial law is
impossible of application in the extreme
southern islands on account Of the neces-
sary debarring Of the Moros from self
government except in cases where they
have 3oresworn allegiance to the sultan
and become subjects Of the United
States and for the further reason OF the
multiplicity of races and tribes in Min
danaO and the diversity Of interests. The
commission will appoint department
governor having authority to negotiate
with the dattos and to act as direct rep
resentatives Of the commission.
The commission will sail by night to
the various posts in Mindanao.

ORPHANS PROVIDED FOR.
Collections on Their Account to Be
Used For Educational Purposes.

New York. April Archbishop Cor
rigan sent to all the pastors of the arch
diocese last week q circular letter which
was read in the churches. In it the arch
bishop announces that the money an
nually collected in the Christmas and
Easter offerings Of the different churches
heretofore used for the orphans under
the care of the Catholic church in the
future IS to be used in religious educa-
tiOnal work here The amount averages
yearly almost 500. 600. The change in
the uses to which ii is to be put is made
possible by the recent sale Of the two
Catholic orphan asylum sites in the city

nominal price fifty years ago were sold

that while he is the legal president,
the people showed their desire at the

ley's policy, he has retained the csbi-
net entire, and has announced that
he will be governed as far as they

pecially he says he will adopt the

Mr.. Bryan's PopuiIst Newspaper.

Mr.. Bryan's PopuiIst Newspaper.
Dispatches from Washington state
that Mr.. William ]. Bryan has pur-
chased the type, presses, subscription
list and good will of the defunot
National Watchman, the considera-
ton being S5. 1t is not stated what
Mr.. Bryan intends to do with his
new property, but it is hinted that if
he cannot break into Washington as
President he intends to do SO as
editor.
The journal, which is now in the
possession of The Commoner, lost
its life in brave but fertile defense
of the Kansas City platfarm. 1t was
equipped with editors, printers, ad-
vertising agents-everythinR but
readers. Lacking this one essential
it collapsed SO completely that it will
be little short of wonderful If even
Mr.. Bryan's puncture repair outfit
proves able to revive it just now.
Although Mr.. Bryan refuses to talk
of his new investment, it is thought
to mean that the sage of Lincoln has
made first move in Napoleonic
scheme to corner the market in de-
funct Pop periodicals.
Mr.. Bryan like other wise inves-
tors, knows that the time to buy is
when the price of things is low.
Populistic journals were never a
greater drug in the market. The S.
paid for the Washington publication
represents the top price. The
corpses of once thriving Fusion jour-
nails can be picked up in any state
by the dozen, price no object. For
two or three dollars Mr.. Bryan can
accumulate score of them in Colo
RADIO, including editorial copies of @.
A. Towne's collected speeches, and a
job lot of cartoons showing W. ]. B.
staying the octopus. We can imagine
the CONSERVATION in financial circles
when it is learned that Mr.. Bryan
has cornered all these periodicals
and is holding them for boom mar
ket. The Morgans, Sages and
Keenes will realize that they have
been backed off the board as opera
tors and that their careers as finan-
cial Napoleons have been cut short.
AS for Mr.. Bryan, he may not Iye

Tho Best Opening for Young Men.
One of the highest responsible
ties which fathers have is the selec-
tion of an occupation for their sons,
and the starting them along that
road in life where prospects of sue
cess are best, where risk of failure is
least and where competition has not,
in advance, sapped all profits. All
fathers cannot control their SONS IN
this respect, and all cannot furnish
capital to establish them in business,
but there are few fathers, themselves
fairly successful, who cannot afford
to give their SONS from $500 to ST.
600 each as a start in the world.
Now most of us have, from bitter ex-
periences, found that this amount
goes but short way in most busi-
nesses. We all understand that each
year, it requires more and more
money to safely conduct mercan
tile or manufacturing business, be-
cause the trust problem has made
competition keener, and small capi-
tslist are forced to the wall. Nor do
the learned professions offer satis-
factory Inducements. There are
three times as many lawyers, doc
tors, dentists, architects, and teach
ers, and so called literary men as
there is legitimate room for. The
average professional man does not
earn more than thousand dollars a
year, out of which Office expenses,
books and sundry outlsys reduce the
total earnings by nearly half. In
fact the average mechanic is better
paid than the average lawye er. What
then is there that is not overdone.
and which affords room for profita-
BILE intelligent employment upon
small capital?
We reply-grow sugar beets. But
