The Philippine Census.
Inquiry To Ascertain Fitness of
the Natives For Participation In
the Government.

Especial Dispatch to The Evening Post1
Washington, September 1.-THE
transport leaving San Francisco on the
10th will await the arrival from Wash
lngton OF material for use in taking the
Philippine census which was forwarded.
1t consists of notes prepared by Gov
Merriam's experts in various lines, and
all the blanks of the twelfth census
The. material used in the Cuban and
Porto Rico census have already
gone forward, and Gen. ]. p. San
ger, who was connected with the work
IN the West Indies, is in the Philippines
and doubtless will be called into confer
ence. The real census taking task rests
with the Philippine Commission, the
plan which was at one time under CON
sideration of having the census taker
under the direction of the office here
has been abandoned as impracticable.
The Philippine Commission may
however, by the terms of the law, have
the compilation of facts from the emu
merators bulletins done here, where
the equipment is better than could b.
secured in Manila, and skilled hell
more available The Philippine inquir!
is peculiar, being specially directed
toward ascertaining the fitness of tn,
Filipino for participation in the nev
government on the standards establish
ed by the municipalities. The la7
calls for facts regarding ability to rea.
in English, Spanish, and the nativ'
dialects. and report on the ownership
of homes is required as well as socia
statistics, vague generalization upol
which the views of the census expert
here have been particularly sought.

KODo|t 5. Bird Convicted
Sentenced To Four Months And
Day imprisonment
Court unanimous In Its Decision
The Judges Were Hernandez Lo-
pez, Judge Hord And Ex-
Judge Savage

The case of the people against Ho-
hart S Bird for ca1umnies and falsehods
against the San Juan District Court
was tiled yes erday in the presence OF
a throng Of people.
The Court, was composed of Judge
Hord OF the present San Juan Court
and Messrs Hernandez Lopez and Sa.
wage who were selected as special jud-
ges Tbe specific charge against the
editor of the San Juan News was the
publication of falseN md calumnious
utterances against the Courts decision
in case which came before it for trial
The contention was made by the News
that the Court had improperly and lille
gally altered its decision after having
decided against one of the parties to an
action in which one Asiclo Diaz was
the plaintiff.
The facts in the case we're that Diaz
was, or claimed to be the owner of a
small piece of property which Arturo
Guerra was using Diaz claimed that
Guerra who owned a ''finca" next to
his had ercroached about ten inches Of
his land, and claimed heavy damages
therefor
The evidence in the case showed that
Diaz had not used the land in twenty
Years, and the general evidence clearly
rended to show that he was attempting
to take advantage of Guerra
Judge Ramos who was then President
of the Court decided the case against
Diaz Immediately thereafter cam
paign of infamy was begun against him
and his court. Yesterdays conviction
is the sequel of this campaign. 1t is
said that Bird will appeal to the Supreme
Court.

certi6cated," as the natives, col1oquial1y
observe, to regis er at some OF the finest
hotels; and Ladies Entrance in gilt
letters as large as those which indicated
the way to "Gentlemen's Entrance
was blazoned on the most public place
of the houses where games of chance
were set.
It should not be concluded that what
went on here was typical Of American
society, or even such of it as arrogates
that term to itself. Saratoga's new
summer community differs from that of
Newport as that of Newport differs
from the meaning of ''noblesse oblige"
and is compelled by its possessions to
return for them some social service.
Mere mention Of few OF the names
would indicate the mixed nature of the
group. Sport makes odd fellowships,
and so does the chase after amusements
that money will buy. Only around the
wheel where the marble spins. or the
rings where bets are laid on the form"
of horses, or the tables spread in the
ante-rooms Of sporting "clubs." was
there an appearance of equality of state
Or privilege. AS a lot, they we're people
not "built for" the monkey dinner, the
effete german, and the 1rivolities that
suffice elsewhere. The men were men
who had done things in real life,
politics, insurance. stocks railroads,
though not all OF them by method
most exemplary Mr. Gates as fnan-
cier, Mr. Carroll as statesman, are not
perhaps entirely good models; nor is
the fact that NJ Whitney would rather
win the Derby than be President a
truly helpful ambition to set before
primary schools, But they are more
virile than those others whom Mr.
Watterson character;zes as 'the simper-
ing Johnnies and the tough girls" They
come together as people come together
at AK, Paris. Nice, and, in the old days,
at Baden-Baden-a segregation ordered
by the common pursuit of spice for
safety or excitement fit for minds
moulded in prosaic business.

the plunglng season, was the 1argest

what s.he rehabilitation of Saratoga
really means. 1t means that it has
become the Monte Carlo of the United
States, favored by extraordinary legis
lation, place unique, for which the
State Constitution has been violated
law set aside, manners and morals
blotted out.
The kind of life that has been lived
here for the past month is the kind of
that developed in England between the
Restoration and the Revolution. Our
modern Restoration is more raw than
that of 1860, mora crude, lacking grace
but altogether this old mineral spa, with
its dignifed history and ante-bellum
tone, has been turned into a close
American variation of the Tunbridge

merchants, the gentry, and the ssfrail

is also missionary and leader. Most
educated negroes, we believe. feel that
the privileges they have enjoyed bind
and pledge them to help in the great
work of uplifting their race. Very few
boys or girls ever leave Iuskegee or
Hampton without keen realization of
the debt they owe for their education
and fail to appreciate that there is only
one way in which this debt can be paid
off-by a~life of devotion to the men
aud women among whom they live,
and by spreading their own knowledge,
no matter what the cost or what the
pains. What is true of Tuskegee and
Hampton is true of Fisk and other
higher institutions, and is certain to be
more Iand more patent as the years
roll on.
Professor Du Bois himself completely
refutes those who deny the desirability
of higher training for the negro. All
broadminded Southern white men con-
cede the need of having more such lea
ders among the negroes as Mr.. Was
hington. But while such men may
spring up from the soil occasionally, the
surest way to produce them is by
means of the schools and the colleges
Without these institutions, and particu-
larly the higher ones, it is not possible
to hope for men who in any numbers
may have the wisdom and the fine
tempe of mind to lead safelv through
the terrible dangers which beset the
negroes in the World, North and
South. Nor can the negro college
