A day or two ago Erving WinsIow
the secretary OF the Anti-Imperial
League. published extracts from let
ters written by prominent Democratic
leaders showing that the anti-imperial-
istic issue was still living one. Among
those quoted were Senators Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee. Senator Money. Represen-
tatives Shafroth, Griggs and others.
There is no doubt of course that the
Democratic party intends to keep the
anti-imperialistic issue before the peo-
pie. 1t is not saying much about IL
now because there is no occasion for
doing so, but it will be brought to the
front just as soon as the presidential
campaign begins.
And there is no doubt that there is
a strong sentiment in favor of giving
the Filipinos their independence. A
straw which shows the way popular
feeling on this subject is tending is
shown by a. vote that was taken at a
meeting of the Peoples Institute at
Cooper Union, New York city, on last
Sunday evening. There were about g.
900 present, and the principal speaker
was Mr.. Schurman. president of Cor
nell University. In the course of his
remarks President Schurman said:
THE Filipinos are intelligent and have
aspirations of complete independence.
The Philippine question will never be
settled until they gain such independ
ence. The only justifca ton we have
for being in the Philippines is that we
are training the Filipinos for complete
independence. The flag should float
over the country until it has done its
perfect work"
At the conclusion of President
Schurman's address those who agreed
with the policy outlined were asked to
stand up, and all arose except three.
These three were for pulling down the
flag at once.
The Democratic party is not for pull
ing down the flag Immediately and
abandoning the islands. 1t favors deal
ing with the Filipinos as the Cubans
were dealt with-that is, giving them
their independence as soon as they are
prepared for it. 1t also believes In
announcing this policy at once. On
the other hand the Republican party
refuses to say what its policy in re-
gard to the islands is, but the infer
ence from its course is that its pur-
pose is to hold the islands permanently
The Philippine question is not a set
tied one by any means. The indica-
tons are that it will play an import
ant-a very important-part in the
next national contest.

A Good Guesser.

A lawyer had seen the story Of the
witness who was confident of his &C.
curate notion of time, and was request
ed to give his ideas of two minutes,
says Tit Bits. A watch was held and
at the end of twenty seconds he de-
clared that two minutes had elapsed.
The lawyer resolved to try the ex-
pertinent on q sailor in the hospital,
whose deposition he was taking in re-
gard to a collision and the time which
had elapsed after the vessel had left
the wharf. The sailor answered,
About ten minutes
Man." said the lawyer, chow long
do you think ten minutes to be-"
About ten minutes"
Out came the lawyers watch, as he
said: ''I'll tell you when to begin, and
you tell me when the ten minutes are
up"
Aye, aye, sir" said the sailor.
The lawyer stood with his back to
mantel, on which little clock was
facing the sailor.
After three minutes the lawyer ex-
claimed: Look here, are You going
to keep up waiting all day." No an
swer
The hand of the clock was on the
exact rotch of ten minutes AS the
sailor said carelessly: The time must
be about up"
WELL" said the lawyer, "of all nen,
dying or alive, that ever saw. you
can measure time the best"

A rRouBLEsoME POSITION.

Strong pressure is being brought TO
bear upon the President to influence
him not to accept the position of ar
bitrstor OF the differences between the
/ allies and Venezuela. II is not known
\ of course that it is his purpose to
accept, but the indications are that he
will if officially requested. He regards
! the request as a great compliment.
and no doubt it is. provided the all
lies have no Interior motive in want
ing him to act as arbitrator.
1t is said that Germany suggested
him for the position because she wanted
to show the people of this country that
they had no ground for a hostile feel
ing against Germany-that the German
people wanted 20 be on the vest best
terms with them. That sounds very
well and may be sincere, but 1t would
be about impossible for the President
to fill the position without mourning
certain obligations which the people
might not want him to fulfill. For
instance. II he were the arbitrator and
Venezuela should not show a DISPOSE
ton to pay the award, IL one were made
against her, what would be the posi-
ton of the President? II may be said
that it would not be any concern of his
If Venezuela refused to abide by the
award or settle in accordance with it,
1t would not of course. but the allies
would take the position that the Ameri-
can President having said that their
claims We're just the American people
ent measures for collecting the award.
1t is impossible OF course to for
see what these measures would be.
They might be such as our government
would approve and they might not.
Therefore the better plan is for the
President not to put himself or the
American people in position that
would prevent entire freedom OF action,
in the event that action, inimical to
the interests of the allies. became adj
visabIe.
The point made by the allies. name
ly, that Venezuela would be much more
likely to pay an award made by the
President than one made by The Hague
Court is not very strong one. The
Venezuelans have no such considera-
ton for this country as would induce
them to pay debt which they could
avoid paying. The understanding is
that the Venezuelans are notorious for
not paying their debts. II an award
were made against them by an arbi-
traitor. they would pay 1t only when
they could see no way OF avoiding pay
ment. There is no good reason there
fore why the President should entan-
gle himself and the United States in
the imbroglio. The wiser plan is to
keep clear of 1t. We shall stand a
better chance of retaining the friend
ship and good will Of the allies by do
ing so.

DIR. LoRENz's ONE MIRACLE.

AZ one of his clinics the other day in
New York DR.. Lorenz, the celebrated
Vienna physician who is making won
derful cures of cases of hip dislocation,
gave an account Of the one miracle
he had performed since he came to
this country. 1t was at a hotel in Salt
Lake City that a messenger came to
his room and told him there was a
girl in the parlor who wanted to see
him. He went to the parlor and there
found girl about 16 years of age who
was weepingl A brother. a little older,
was with her. He also was in tears,
though there did not appear to be any
reason why either of them should be
weeping. DR.. Lorenz inquired what the
trouble was, and was informed by the
girl that two years before she had
fallen on the pavement and hurt her
hip, and that ever since she had been
compelled to use a crutch. The fol-
lowing day he examined her at a hos
pital, but could not find that she was
a sufferer from any injury. He there
fore told her to throw away her crutch
at once. and to walk as If there had
never been anything the matter with
her. She followed his instructions and
found that she could walk without
trouble or pain. There was absolutely
nothing the matter with her She SIM
ply thought there was, and II she had
not had implicit confidence In DR.. Lo-
REM. the probability is that she would
have gone on using a crutch the balance
of her days under the impression that
she could not walk without it.
We call attention to this case simply
to make the point that very large
percentage of the people who are al
ways dosing themselves with drugs
and patent medicines. under the i'm
preston that they are sick. are all
right physically. The trouble with
them is that they insist upon thinking
they are sick. If they would discard
medicine, go about their duties as If
they were well, and take it for granted
that they were well, they would be
well. Too many people are forever
imagining that something is the mat
ter with them, and they magnify every
little pain or ache into something
dreadful.
If the truth were known II is prob
able that it would appear that many
of the so-called miracles. of which we
hear every once in while. are cases
like the one that came under DIR. Lo.
renz's observation at Salt Lake City.
OF course there are sick people and
| plenty of them. They need a physi-
clans care and medicine. We refer
only to those who only imagine they
are sick. The number OF the lat
ter class is appallingly large They
are the class that furnishes the mira
cles and the wonderful cures which
are credited to Faith Curists and
Christian Scientists.

A Visit From ST. Nicholas.

Twas the night before Christmas, and
all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a
mouse. I
The stockings were hung by the CHM
ney with care,
In the hope that st. Nicholas soon
would be there:
The children were nestled all snug in
their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced
in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief and 1 In
my cap
Had Just settled our brains for a long
winters nap
When out on the lawn there arose such
ciatter
Isprang from my bed to see what was
the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a.
flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw open
the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new
fallen snow
Gave lustre of midday to objects be-
low,
When what to my wandering eyes
should appear
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny
reindeer,
With little old driver SO lively and
quick,

More rapid than eagles his coursers

ricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle

So up to the house-top the coursers

With a sleigh full of toys, and st.

And then in twinkling heard on the
roof
The prancing and paving of each little
hoof.
As l drew in my head and was turn

Down the chimney st. Nicholas came
with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head
to his foot,
And his clothes were all furnished with
ashes and SCOT;
A bundle of toys he had flung on his
back
And he looked like a peddler Just
op'ning his pack.
His eyes how they -twinkled, his dim
pies how merry,
His cheeks were like roses, his nose
like a cherry;
His droll little mouth was drawn up
like a bow,
And the beard on his chin was as white
as the snow.
The stump Of his pipe he held tight in
his teeth,
And the smoke it enoircled his head
like a wreath.
He had a broad face and a little round
belly
That shook when he laughed. like a
bowl full of jelly.
He was chubby and plumb--a right
jolly old elf;
And / laughed when saw him in spite

a considerable surface of skin, which

skin from their arms with which to
