In discussing the Philippine ques-
ton, there are several inoontrovertible
facts. One is that we have got TO sup
press the rebellion, for that il. all il is.
We cannot withdraw without dishon-
oring our flag and no true Americans
are in favor of withdrawing. We
bought and paid for the islands. The
Filipinos did not own them, and never
had independence, know nothing about
it, and would not know what to do
with il IL they had il. They cannot
be compared TO the American colonies,
for the Americans were civilized, in.
telligent, fair-minded people, some
thing the Filipinos will likely not be
accused of being for some years to
come, and yet the colonies had any
thing but smooth sailing until they
learned. from experience:how to Imain-
tain an independent government. As
long as the rebellion lasts, there will
be loss of our soldiers and a heavy
expense attending the carrying on of
hostilities. There is every reason then
for ending the war in the only desii-
able wsy-compelling the surrender
of the belligerents. The only thing
is the best means of accomplishing
this end. II is certain that kindness
and fair treatment will not induce the
Filipinos to lay down their arms,
for it is all that was ever offered them.
1t may resolve itself into the simple
question of killing the hslf-civilized
and thoroughly untameable natives,
or having our own brave soldiers killed
from ambush or murdered while they
sleep. When the intelligent people Of
this country consider these things,
they ought to speedily indorse any
thing that will tend to subjugate the
savages and relieve the army Of its
arduous duties, even to the shooting
of the treacherous natives or free use
of the water cure"

HE WANTS HIS BRIDE
Young Will Poe Had a Wife Saturday
But None This Morning.
Eoped With a Fourteen Year Old
Girl, and Her Parents Took Her
Away.
TO CONSULT COUNTY JUDGE

Will Poe Of the Clark's River sec
tion, son OF Frank Poe, came TO the
city today to consult County Judge
Lightfoot relative to his bride, who
until last Saturday afternoon WAS Miss
Cora Poore of the same section. She
and young Poe, who is twenty, came
to Padueah and eloped on the Cowling
Saturday afternoon TO Metropolis.
where they were married by Judge
Liggett. The bride is only fourteen
years old, and on this account her par
ents opposed her marriage.
The couple returned home on the
Dick Fowler, and went to the house
of Poe's sister, but soon word was
sent to them, according to the story
young Poe told, to come over to the
brides house TO live. II seems that
her relatives decided 20 secure posseI-
sion of her through strategy anu as
soon as the unsuspecting young people
reached the place, she was taken from
him and spirited away.
Threats or entreaties did not suffice
to bring back the bride, and this
morning young Poe concluded that
there was no intention Of restoring
her 10 him, and came 10 the city to
consult the county judge, who IL
today i'll in bed.
The indignant and disappointed
young man said no understood that
his wife's relatives had gotten her
out of the country, but he thinks
she has been taken TO woodville. 1t
is likley, judging from his actions,
that he will persevere until she is
brought back.

The Mayfield Messenger has made
the remarkable discovery that there
is one month in the year when Padu-
cab has no dusty streets, and that is in
April, when nature sprinkles the
streets for her. 1t might have
more truthfully said that the only
time we don't have dusty streets is
when they are muddy.

The boom train to be run by the
Elks carnival committee will be
good thing for the merchants, and for
the city in general. If the city has
any spare money, it might make con-
tribution towards defraying the ex-
penses Of the trip. 1t spent quite a
sum not long ago to entertain a crowd
of gentlemen who came down to take
our business away from us, and it
looks as if it would be only reasonable
to make a donation for helping to get
business to come TO us.

The programme of municipal improve
ment looking toward the Greater Wash
ington, which was recommended by the
Board of Trade committee on municipal
finance in its first meeting on Friday. has
a direct and important bearing on the fu-
ture growth of the city, and is in this
way of great interest to the real estate
men, as well as other business men gem
orally.
TIE committee recommends five i'm
portant matters that, in its opinion
should be taken up Immediately as press
ing needs of the District. They are: First,
the filtration plant; second, improvement
Of the Anacostia Flats; third. municipal
building; fourth, sewerage extension, and
fifth street extension.
The committee believes that there
, should be no increase of taxation in any
form to accomplish these improvements.
1t is opposed TO personal tax, and it
is opposed to an advance of the tax on
real estate. 1t attributes the present
shortage in the District funds.to the al
legged unjust treatment of the District by
Congress in the past, in compelling il to
pay more than half the expense of street
extensions already carried through, and
states its belief that if the General Gov
ernment had paid half the cost of these
improvements, there would now be no
difficulty in carrying the Greater Wash
ington extensions into effect.
Bonds Loan Favored.
Under the circumstances il believes
that the Government should either allow
the District to issue bonds or should
sanction a loan by the Treasury TO the
District to be paid back from future reve-
nues. The committee does not express
any preference for either of these two
plans.
President c. ]. Bell, of the American Sc
curity and Trust Company, the acting
chairman of the committee and the man
who will draw up its report formally for
presentation to the Board ofNTradA and
future submission 10 Congress, said yes
terday regarding the matter:
Every one of these five matters needs
immediate attention. The District should
not be asked to wait for them until its
surplus revenues in the ordinary course
Of events make them possible. The
Greater Washington is desired by every
good citizen of the District, and by the
COulllTN at idI5e as we'll, We DelleVe.
The ordinary revenues OF the District will
be enough to pay its ordinary expenses
This sentiment was echoed by others
of the committee, and by other business
men interviewed regarding the subject
yesterday.
The Exchange Ready for Business.
The Real Estate Exchange will probably
begin its active career this week. 1t is
now ready for business, having rented
its Offices as announced in The Times
earlier in the week. The exchange has
nearly $50 members, and hopes greatly
to increase the number during the present
week. The amendment of the bylaws
recommended by the board of governors
abrogating the fixing OF q minimum com
mission rate on real estate sales has in
duced a number OF people TO look with
more favor On the plan of the exchange. |

F0RTY.THREE YEARS IN BED,
story OF 0r. W J. shackleford, of Fremont.
Now Over 80 Years Old.
Especial to News and observer

Especial to News and Observer)
Goldsboro, N. c., August 18.-The
town OF Fremont, N. c., has a citizen,
who, II he lives to see the 10th day of
next September, will have lain in bed
practically forty-three years. The name
of this unfortunate gentleman is Mr..
w. II. Shackleford. the father of Mr.. J.
II. Shackleford, one of the most indus
trious men of that section of the county.
The afflicted man was born and reared
in Greene county, not far from Speight' S
Bridge. He is now over eighty years
old, having been born on May 18th, 1922.
AS child he was very delicate and his
life was often almost despaired of, but
after he reached twelve years of age he
grew stronger and began work on a
farm, which he continued until his thir-
ty-seventh year, when he became affict-
ed with what he terms a giving way of
the muscles of the back, combined with
some affection Of the nervous system.
He took his bed on the 10th of September
in 1859, just forty-three years ago the

there ever since. He can now get up and
walk across the room, as he has done for
many years, but cannot remain off his
bed for any length of time. His spinal
