Senator Peurose recently made a
brief statement of republican policy
in the Philippines. ''The tinted States
will stay in the Philippine Islands, I"
said the Senator, "and viii convert
them to prosperous portion OF the
country. They will, / presume, be
given territorial rights in time, and a
resident commissioner, as Porto Rico
now has. The resources Of the Islands
are incalcuiable, and when they are
developed by American capital and
American enterprise, 1t Is my opinion
that they viii not only be adequate to
meet the current expenses of the ter
ritory, but win afford 1t and its resi-
dents the many advantages OF higher
civilization now enjoyed by the citi-
zens of the United States. Under the
guidance of the Philippine commits
sion, the islands now enjoy infinitely
better educational advantages, better
courts of Justice and, in word, bet
ter facilities for the attainment Of
civilization, than they ever had or
ever would have enjoyed under Span
ish rule. With the exception of few
professional fighters, the people are
happy and contented, and the time
is not far distant when they viii be
more so. With the instruction ended,
the United States will be in position
to still further carry into effect the
beneacent intent which she has in
view, and satisfied and prosperous
people will bless this country for their
deHyerance from Spanish dominion -

New England Water Powers.
The United States geological survey
is conducting a systematic study OF
the New England rivers. The inves-
tigation consists in measurements Of
the volume Of their flow, and in OBJ
tanning information regarding the
conditions Of their drainage basins
which affect their public usefulness.
The investigation is being made on
account of its bearing on the two
important uses of New England
streams-water power and municipal
supply.
Many of the water powers OF the
region are already developed, espec-
tally those in Maine and on the Merri-
mac and Connecticut rivers, but it is
expected that the investigations will
lead to an increase in the use of power
on many streams by encouraging i'm
provements in their natural storage
facilities which will make it possible
to save portion of their food waters.
Such improvements are already being
considered on the Kennebec in the
construction of dam at the outlet of
Moosehead Lake.
Owners Of water powers on Union
river, at Ellsworth, have also taken
steps in this direction by securing
from the State legislature a charter
for a water storage company, but be-
yond a preliminary examination of
the watershed of Union river, no
actual work toward this important
end has been done.
The New England lakes and rivers
are also important for municipal sup
ply on account of the unusual number
of cities and large towns in these
states. But the question of supply is
complicated by the serious pollution
of many of these streams by city
sewerage and manufacturing refuse.
All these aspects OF the rivers are
receiving attention in the investiga-
ton. Daily records of stream heighth
are Kept, ana measurements mace 10
ascertain the amount Of flow. Partic-
ular attention is paid to finding the
average and low water flows which
are important for power users and
those seeking municipal supply.
Purity tests are also made for clorine
and turbidity, and the effect of pollu
ton on property and the public health
are being studied.
Among the streams which are now
being studied are the Housatonic, Con-
necticut, Sudbury, Blackstone, Nashua,
Merrimac, Kennebec and Androseog-
gin. The work is part of the general
study of the country's water resources
which the geological survey is con-
Quoting.

Sunday School Libraries.

| Edward W. Box has been making q
careful and comprehensive examination
Of sGodsy-schooi libraries, aud in Ladies'
I Home Journal ne confesses himself dis
gusted with the literature thus placed in
tue hands OF boys and girls. A less COM
| plete investigation Mr.. Box says, would
| not have made it possible for him TO be-
| liege that the Libraries of our Sunday
I schools were stocked with such piles OF
runbish-"wi shy wsshy literature" as be
I terms IT..

Sunday school libraries, and these seem
to completely warrant his conclusions.
''Such books, be contends, "sre an Insult

and have pernicious influence. Instead
OF being healthy books, they are decidedly
unhealthy in tone and teaching. Sure
Iy we are cuItivs,ing a dangerous taste
for reading in the young when we feed
them on such rubbish"
Mr.. Box uuhesitatingly lays a part OF
the blame upon the publication boards
and societies, which are Influenced by
denomiDstionsl spirit that narrows their
choice OF books. Then, again, 1t Is shown
that the most mediocre sort OF "taIent"
Is employed to write these books, and that
beggsrly priees-less than $50 per book
are paid. share OF responsibility, Mr..
Box asserts, rests upon the men W no pnr-
chase Sunday school libraries, who, as In
most frequently the case, are not qualified
for the task, and whose object Is to secure
library as cheap as possible.
Mr. Box warmly urges that the seiec-
ton OF Sundsy-schooi books be left TO
women, no "instincsively know and feel
the kind OF a book which a boy or girl
will read and enjoy" He insists that
women should be given carte blanche to
make the selections so far as the pre-
scribed amount of money will go. "a
hundred good books" Mr.. Box concludes,
''are far better than five hundred books
Of indifferent interest,"" which are bought
simply because they are cheap. "a Sun
day-schooi library cannot be created In
a day, and no encouragement should be
felt II the financial means of the church
are contracted, and necessitate the pur-
chase OF only few books at a time.n

Monday the Senate began the con-
sideration of what is popularity known
as the shipping bill-a measure to pro-
vide for ocean mail service between

deep sea fisheries. Senator Frye,
chairman of the committee on com
merce, made the opening statement

the floor for nearly two hours. The
policy Of protection, which has been
applied to American industries with
such benefieent results, he said, had
not been applied TO the shipping in
dustry. The result of this short
sighted policy had been the decadence
OF the American merchant marine
and the consequent humiliation of
Americans engaged in the shipping
industry. Senator Frye's address was
largely technical, but his argument
was listened to with close attention
by senators on both sides OF the
chamber.
