From the London Express
 A reader has sent us the following story of Gen. viljoen. which, he says, is abso- lutely true.
 While on the way to Keep an appoint ment with the Boer general, our core spondent met friend of his, an officer in the Scotch Guards, who had seen ser vice in South Africa.
 By the way, I'm going to see an ac- quaintance of yours, he said to the of ficer, General Viljoen."
 ''Oh, he is no friend of mine," was the comment. 'He once stole our convoy, and we had to go on quarter rations for a fortnight"
 Later our correspondent told Gen. Vil- joen of his meeting with the officer and what the latter said.
 The general laughed heartily at the story. 'Tell your friend" he said. T did not steal his convoy. I only bor- rowed it."

Taft On The PHILIPPINES

Gov. Taft's recent article in q num-
Der of The Outlook on the Philippines
is very able, clear, concise but COM
pact statement of conditions in the
islands and of the purposes of the adj
ministration in relation to them and of
the work done. Gov. Taft is not a
visionary man. He is practical ami
presents both facts and arguments
with great force. A perusal of the
article shows that America is doing
for the Philippines something similar
to what she has been doing for Cuba
and Porto Rico.
The commission OF which Gov. Taft
is the head is spending million dol
lars on the improvement of the high
ways in the interior of the islands.
Their condition has been miserable,
making travel and transportation in
the interior almost impossible. Thr ee
millions are being spent on the habor
of Manila. The bay of Manila is thirty
miles across, being too big for harbor
so harbor needs to be constructed
Manila's commerce and position in the
east is so important that good harbor
is necessary to Manila's prosperity.
One thousand American school
teachers have been put on to the
islands. They are not only doing pri-
mary work but are doing normal work,
instructing native Filipino teachers.
There are 2500 Filipino teachers who
are employed in teaching.
Courts have been established over
the Islands. These courts are Icom-
posed of both American and Filipino
judges. Justice is being administered
according to modern and humane
methods, which in many instances is
new to the people. Municipal officers
are elected by the Filipinos. As much
local self government is allowed as
those people can exercise with safety.
The electorate is limited to those who
can write or speak either English or
Spanish, and who have some property.
or who have held municipal office.
The money for these public works
and for this administration is secured
from the duties and imports.

All our farmer readers should take ad-

eral news, our own paper, and make the

The work being done by our govern
ment in the Philippines bears the stamp
of craftsmanship and of philanthropy.
We do not believe the world has seen
ever before so good work for oppressed
peoples by any nation as the United
States has recently done for Cuba and
Porto Rico and is now doing for the
Philippines. That the government
should be criticised and msligned for it
by political party at home is owing
to our popular form of government
which allows discussion and criticism
of every public act and measure. That
this criticism will fall harmlessly to
the ground finding rest among the 9th
er rejected fault findings of the demo-
cratic party that it has given to during
the past half century, We firmly believe.
