People are bright-minded and quick to
learn. and once the children have been
taught English and the people generally
have received little edcuation the prog
ress of these islands will be rapid.
My remarks in regard to the people are
general. We have in this section of the
country quite a number of natives that
seem TO be trustworthy.
ut will not be safe, in my opinion. to
reduce the military for several years. The
native character cannot be trusted WITH
safety. Before the strength of garrisons
can be reduced garrisons withdrawn
from places now occupied by troops the bad
element must be eliminated from the popu-
lace. At present we know only few of the
bad people, but we are learning them. The
bad element is not in excess in this part OF
the country. The greatest trouble that
We have been having is TO protect our ad :
ehrents from assassination and kidnapping.
Every day or so comes in a report that
somebody in one of the neighboring towns
has been kidnapped or killed
I've are watching with much interest for
the proposed army legislation. 1t is re-
narkable fact that in the cavalry during
the past two years of war we have had
less promotion than had in time of
peace. AS one of our officers remarked the
other day, the past two years show that
war is the best and proper state. for IN
peace cavalry becomes eIfeminate, weak
ard Sickly."

personal interests are secondary with them.
In nearly every instance where the Presl-
dent has gone outside the wire pullers and
asked and urged an independent man 10
accept an office and succeeded fE getting
him such man has proved TO be of the best
service to his country. In many Instances
where the persistent professional has ste
&C ~ded In obtaining Job injury both TO the
party an ountry has resulted. The pie
counter l4ea in politics is stigma on our
national life. 1t lowers the dignity OF CT
flee and office-holding. IL causes the name
trust TO be misnamed "spoils" by the
anti-partisans. Public office is not party
spois," but a public trust. and should be
sought and filled and administered such.
Distribution OF patronage is an unfortu-
nate and misleading expression. "Distrib-
uting offices" doesn't sound right 1t is
liekly to convey to the spoilsmen the i'm
preston of an inheritance and legacy. and
that they are heirs of their party and en-
titled to distributive share in the estate
1t Is gratifying TO know that now and
then party worker be found who has
the manly independence, when asked what
he wants. to say: Nothing. thank you.
1t would be well If public offices could be IN
the hands of such men. It Will be fortunate
Tor our country when our offices are filled
by men sought, rather than by men who
have done the seeking.

THE WATER CONTRACT.
1t May Be Recalled from the Fran
chfse Committee.


The water contract that was sent to the
Council several weeks ago is still in the
hands of the committee on contracts and
franchises, and no action has been taken
toward formulating a report for its ratifica-
ton. Chairman Evans, of that committee
called a meeting of the committee several
weeks ago, and the contract was discussed
for short time. 1t was the sense of the
members of the committee that the con-
tract should be sent back to the Board of
Works, with recommendations that 1t be
amended.
The meeting adjourned with the under
standing that the chairman would call an
other meeting in few days to consider
the contract and decide upon a report, IL
possible. For the past two weeks members
of the committee have expected notice to
meet, but Chairman Evans has not called
meeting. Councilmen are anxious that
the committee shall take some action on
the contract and, it is said, motion will
be introduced in the Council tonight to
withdraw the contract from the hands of
the committee. Should this motion be lost
it will serve to spur the chairman to get
the committee together at an early date.
Councilmen are also anxious to settle the
interurban franchise question, but this is
still in the hands Of the Board or Works
and City Attorney Kern for changes.

DEMOCRATS ARE ANGRY
MEN RECOMMENDED BY COUNCIL
MEN QUICKLY REJECTED.
To Square Accounts They VIII Vote
Against the Junk Ordinance
Municipal Affairs.

Democratic councilmen have alleged
grievance against Police Superintendent
Quigley and other members Of the police
department, and, it is said, will take steps
to get even at the meeting Of the Council
tonight. The grievance grows out of the
fact that many Democrats recommended
for appointment to the police force by
Democratic councilmen have been turned
down and the councilmen claim it is owing
to spite work or favoritism being shown by
Quigley and some of his friends.
The Board of Safety has been busy for
several days. during odd moments. when
the fire-alarm system contract did not en-
gage them, preparing a list of names for
appointment to the police force. The board
expects to appoint thirteen or fourteen
regular men this week and several suosti-
tutes. Owing to a Republican vacancy In
the force there will be more Republicans
appointed than Democrats The Democratic
councilmen have worked for the appoint
ment of some of their constituents and 1t
is said they will nearly all be disappointed,
as the men personally recommended by the
councilmen have failed to pass the physi-
cal examinations conducted by Police
Surgeon Christian. The councilmen allege
that Quigley was responsible for the men
failing to pass the examinations, and they
have laid plans to square accounts.
Several of the Democratic councilmen
said, yesterday, that they will not stand
for such treatment, while one OF them said
that one of the men he recommended was
a perfect specimen of physical develop
ment and his chest expansion was six
inches. He failed to pass the examination,
however, and when asked the reason why,
DIR. Christian told him he had some trivial
trouble that was news to the applicant for
appointment. Other councilmen have the
same story to tell.
1T was agreed yesterday that the Demo-
Gratis shall vote against the junk ordinance
and work to kill the measure, which was
introduced in the Council at the instigation
of the police department. The ordinance
provides that junk and secondhand deal
ers shall make daily reports of all goods
they purchase, the name of the seller and
his address. The councilmen say that this
ordinance is particular benefit to the de-
partment, but because Quigley and his
friends have worked hard for its pas
sage they will endeavor to have Ii killed.
The ordinance was reported upon favorably
by the committee at the last meeting of the
City Council, and, 1T is said, it will be
brought up tonight for a second reading
and passage, and if this is done the Demo-
Gratis will work against it,
Chairman Hyde, of the Board of Safety,
said the police surgeon has examined about
ffty-fiye applicants for appointment to the
force and of that number he has rejected
about thirty. Mr.. Hyde said that DR.. Chris
tian had the power to reject any applicant
who he thought did not meet the physical
requirements

Divine power, and 1t is this power which
heals. not the power or influence of the in
diyidual. If this is So Christian Science is
clearly the exercise of religious profess
sion and worship within the meaning of the
Constitution, and il cannot be interfered
with nor restricted by the State. 1t seems
to me very clear that, under our Constitu-
ton. such teaching cannot be prohibited
by statute, nor can persons who wish to
engage in this teaching be required TO pass
any examination prescribed under the au-
thority of the State. To impose any condi-
tions other than those suggested in the
Constitution itself would be TO impose limi-
tations on the free exercise of the right of
