tanned the guests with instrumental music.

rett, Misses Mettie Basler, Lucretia Schaeffer,

Deaths, Wounds and Dollars.

The cost of giving liberty or death to the
Filipinos has been put in concise form by
the New York Anti i-Imperialist League
The statistics cover the period from May, 1900
to June 80, 1901, only, and are prepared from
official reports.
They show that the ratio between the Fill
pinos killed and the Americans killed was
sixteen to one, while the ratio between the
Filipino and American wounded was less than
three to one.
Of the Americans twice as many were
wounded as were killed Of the Filipinos the
killed were more than three times the wounded
The official figures for the casualties under
these several heads speak for themselves
They are: United States soldiers killed, 245
wounded, 400. Filpinos killed, 1854; wound
ed, 1898.
The showing of commercial results is moi
encouraging. The total foreign trade of the
islands for the year would not pay go per cent
of the cost of the war for the year. "The
total trade with the United States would not
pay per cent of it, and the profits on oul
trade with the islands would pay little more
than per cent"
The officials figures on which these calcula
tions are based are as follows: Estimated
cost of the war in the islands for year 1901,
800, 600, 600. Total imports into the islands
during the fiscal year 1901, $50, ,279, ,406. Ex
ports from the islands during the same year
$23, ,214, ,94s. Imports from United States into
the islands during the fiscal year 1901, 81,
s55, ,685. Exports from the islands to the
United States during the same year, S2.572,
O21. Estimated profit on exports and imports,
at 20 per cent, $1,085,5 SAL.
In view of this general showing the New
York Evening Post remarks ''The blood
letting has been terrible, and the islands are
yet to be paci6ed Has it paid from any
standpoint? Not even from the gross view Of
dollars and cents.'' Mr.. M. N. Forney, who
prepared the exhibit for the League, explains
1.-THE sickness is not represented. Neither
are the sorrow, suffering aud poverty, which
are the consequences of this destruction of life
and health"
1t will be noted, of course, that the showing
is only for one year, and that it takes no note
of the widespread and continuous destruction
of crops, hamlets, and other property, nor o.
the wholesale destruction of life among non.
combatants, men, women and children-thous
ands of whom have perished from disease, ex
posure and privation incident to the war.

No Repeal.

The bill before the Legislature to repeal
the tax on incomes from mortgages should not
be passed. County treasurers have gotten
the work of collecting systemized and the
revenues from mortgages are increasing an
nually. The receipts from this source in Car
roll last year were 50, 500, and for the fiscal
year ended September 80, 1901, the State re-
eeiyed $22, 2,s17.64 There is no reason why
this tax should be repealed, when bank and
other stocks are taxed. Good stocks and
bonds do not net investors much over four
per cent and many less than four and down
to three, while five per cent mortgage will
net 3-5 per cent.

Bill to Pension school Teachers.

There is a bill before the Legislature to
pension public school teachers who have taught
for twenty years and reached the aged of sixty
years or become incapaci.ated for further effi-
cient service. The principle upon which the
bill is based is partly for the benefit of the
school system and partly for the benefit of the
teachers 1t is contended that by reason OF
small pay there is a hesitancy upon the part
of school authorities to dismiss teacher who
has served well for a long term of years, who
has no other means of support, but who has
become incapacitated for proper work or be-
come antiquated in methods 1t is also held
that public school teacher is public bene-
factor-one who has given up his life for the
public good.
This is the view of the supporters of the
bill. The reasons, however, will not stand
the test of reason. The money TO pay pen
sions must be exacted from the people by
taxation The burden of taxation falls most
heavily upon the people of moderate aud
small means. The mass of people are COM
posed of small farmers, mechanics and labor
ers. Few of these earn more than the school
teacher, and it would be unjust to take from
them to support people who have had an
equal chance in life.
Pensions are wrong. People entitled to re-
ceive them are rarely ever careful of expendi-
lures, but usually are careless. Knowing
they Will have competency for declining
years, there is no incentive to economy. They
are more harmful than beneficial, and are re-
sponsible for the many excesses that prospec-
tive pensioners fall into. Besides, it is a
wrong principle to tax one class of people for
the benefit of others. In ordinary life when
people cease to work they cease to earn, and
II should be SO with all people. Soldiers and
sailors in the government service should be
made whole when disabled, but no more. All
other persons should cease to draw pay when
their service ends-no matter in what capaci-
ty they have spent their lives, in the govern
ment civil service or state or county service.

Republicans, dismissed the contests for seats
