A HAREM-SCARUM TIME.
AIl-Sui'icicnt Experience of Ger

OF Tunisinn Ladies'

Ladies contemplating d visit to The
Barbary States would do well to in
form themselves by reading a recent
book, 'Tunisia and the Modern Bar

Of femininity, the costume Of a lazy
visitor is a source of interest and curl

THE ISSUE ACCEPTED.
Fdent Roosevelt Takes Up the
Philippinc Matter and Will
See 1t Through

Inc president has disappointed those
critics of the nistration who insist
that the issue of the independence of
the Philippines is one he dare not Dis
cuSs. Having insisted on that assumn-
tlon Tor long time it is naturally not
convenient for them that Mr.. Roose-
welt takes up the issue in a sensible. di-
rect and straightforward fashion. saws
the democratic New FORK Times. and
declares that when the people of the
Philippines have shown their ca CITY
for real freedom by their power of self
government, then, and not till then
will it be possible TO decide whether
they are to exist independently of u
or to be knit to us by ties of common
friendship and interest"
This is practical because il involves
definite test of fitness for self-gov-
eminent by extended self-government
as fast as orderis restored That proc
ess is steadily going on. Wherever re-
sistance to the United States has
ceased the natives enter immediately
mao the exercise of the elementary
forms Of civil activity They have a
voice in the choice Of their local Off
GERS. They have a voice in the Lowing
OF taxes and the determination of the
use TO which the taxes shall be put.
They have representation in the ad-
mnistratiOn of the law and of Justice
lhey supply the local police They
share in the regulation and in the bene-
hts or schools. roads and sanitation.
And this entrance on local self-govern-
ment Is assured to them without in.
reference from other parts of their
Islands or from other tribes. The
united States keeps the peace through
out the territory and guarantees to
eacs community, in the words Of the
president, that with their growing
knowledge their growth in self-gov.
eminent shall keep steady pace"
Now there is nothing theoretical or
fanciful about this. 1t is plain, solid
fact. We are giving to the Filipinos
wherever our authority is established
actual freedom, with peace, safety. or
der, and all the conditions of continu-
Gus pros pcrity and progress. And ours
is absolutely the only power existing
on the islands. or possible there, that
can do this. No native government"
could do it. Native government imam
effective shape is only possible in linn
tied districts as the arms Of the United
States make it so, and protect it from
internal disorder or outside hostility
and attack. In the reality Of freedom
we are generous and steadily more
generous. In the freedom to fight
among themselves or to perish. or both.
We must frankly confess that we do
not deal. Nor do we sec that it would
be more merciful. or more Just. or
more intelligent to try to do so. A.
the president says, we are preparing
the Filipinos through self government
for possible independence. sure that
when they are so prepared the ques-
ton can be settled wisely, and only
then.

AGAINST PROTECTION.
Democrats Are Not So Much Against
the Trusts, But Arc Cropping
for Issue

Democratic clamor about the trusts
has quickly worked around to the
proposition that the establishment of
Tree trade Is the only way to battle
against business mOnopolies. The re-
public, alarmed at the federal move
ment against trusts, remarks that "tbe
first and all-important step in the
popular movement to restrict the trust
evil is an amendment of the protective
tariff that shall destroy the monopo-
lies guarded by prohibitive duties"
In cropping for an issue for 1904. the
democratic press, for the moment at
least. has gone back to its old free
trade wall and will push II along

NEW CABINET OFFICER.


1t is earnestly hoped that q secretary
of commerce may be created, with a
seat in the Cabinet The rapid multiple
cation Of questions affecting labor and
capital, the growth and compleXity OF
the organizations through which both la
Dor and capital now find expression the
steady tendency toward the employment
Of capital in huge corporations, and the
wonderful strides of this country toward
! leadership in the international business
world Justify an urgent demand for the
creation of such position. substantially
all the leading commercial bodies In THIS
country have united in requesting It's
creation. 1t is desirable that some sucn
measure as that which has already passed
the Senate be enacted into law. The
creation OF such a department would IN
! itself be an advance toward dealing with
and exercising supervision over the whole
subject OF the great corporations doing
an interstate business; and with thlS
end in view. the Congress should endoW
the department with large powers. when
could be increased as experience might

1t is, from our own standpoint, short
