latest adv ces received from Was
hiRgton declare that Governor Taft
is now out Of danger. That he has
been improving steadily the last two
days, and that his full recovery is
expected There is rumor current
at Washington that General Taft
will not return to Manila, and this
is borne out by the ACTON Of Con
gress which is now engaged in-con-
sidering tho Philippine bill with the
object in view of establish
ing a new form Of government in
the Philippines. It's believed that
TIE government will be made semi
military and that the civil governor
will act in conjunction with the milit
ary authorities. The evidence OF
Governor Taft before the Senate
Committee has led to re consider
alton OF the various sections of the
proposed law, and the statements
made by the Governor as to the
necessity military rule have led to
ihefgiving OF greater powers and
more duties to the military author

Al B1d Of Silly Lying,

Itis not surprising that the "antisn and
their yahoo allies in congress are much
annoyed by the inopporsnne arrival OF Gov
ernor Taft at Washington. Tley had just
got into circulation, in the usu .l surreptitious
manner, fresh lot Of plausible lies, sup
ported by diagrams, in regard to conditions
in the Philippines, and the first two days OF
Governor Taft's testimony before the Senate
committee destroyed these utterly. 1t is
impossible to circulate these any further, for
the fundamental contention upon which all
of them rest has been shown by Governor
TAFT to be pure fiction. Every document,
circular and other concoction of mlsrepresen.
tation sent forth by the 'santis" is based on
the assumption that the FilipinoS, as
people, are fighting for their independ ence,
are struggling for liberty against the oppres
sion which the American government is
seeking to maintain over them.
Governor TAFT, in the qHlga5 >nissterful
way that is characteristic Of him, hos dep.
rived this contention of oil further useful
ness. In the 6rst place, he showed that
the people as whole were not hostile to
the American government, but friendly,
since he and other members of the commis
sion, accompanied by their wives and other
female members of their families, had visit
ed nearly all the provinces without military
escort, and had been. received everywhere
with most cordial manifestations Of coafi.
dence and good will. In the second place,
he shesced that instead OF there being
among the various tribes OF the thirty .fonr
provinces common desire for Independence
there was no such thing as even general
knowledge OF what Independence means.
"One great difficulty, he said, ''which we
have to encounter is the fact that the
people OF the different provinces do not
understand the languages Of each other."
When Senator Patterson asked ii . Filipino
OF average intelligence was capasle Of dig
tinguishing between an independent gov
ernment for bis country and q psterasl
form OF government such a. the Cnited
States will give, Governor TAft replied that
Filipino OF average Intelligence might do
this, but the important thing was to be sure
that the Filipino who must pass upon this
prselem was man Of average intelligence,
adding:
y You csn't appreciate the Ignorance aud
cfednlity Of the natives whs do not have

teach them what government is BY giving
them one that will not oppress but will
protect them and foster their interest. "Tha
Filipino" )" says Governor Taft, sis attached
Grst to his town, and, second, to his provin-
CO, and he is now forming an attachment
for the name Of Filipino. On that pride Of
country, and on the Filipino's desire for
educ alton, base my hope Of eur success in
the islands," How long will IL take to
bring this success? So long that questions
Of statehood and Independence "are 90 far
in the future as not to be Of present impor-
tance." In other words. they have no pos
sible relation to existing conditions, since
the people themselves have no comprehen-
sion Of them. a..t

One Of The tourists who recently visited
this city ii commenting on the towns
general appearance made reference to q law
which exists In Paris requiring all property
owners to paint their houses at least once .
year, under penalty Of q fine for the failure
to do SO. In this way 1t was argued that
the city while containing some Of the oldest
houses in Europe always presented very
clean appearance. This suggestion might
we'll be acted upon by our City Fathers.

fine CHURCH.,
Worth $40, 900, May Be Sold by
Sheriff.

Greensburg, Pa, Dec 3--To stay the
sale of one of the most handsome
stone church buildings in Western
Pennsylvania the Presbyterians of
Ford City are contemplating money
making enterprises Of various natures,
the church having been levied upon by
the Sheriff. The church building is q
beautiful structure and If erected to.
day would cost at least $4,000.
The blame for the financial difficult
ties of the congregation Is laid at the
door of the plate glass company which
located at Ford II years ago. Members
state that the company encouraged the
building of the church by grants and
financial help. Then the panic set in,
the glass company transferred its in,
terest and no further help was given.
From that time the debt has increased
and the creditors now refuse to delay
the collections of their accounts longer

LONG VISITS.
Milwaukee Judge Has Fixed a
Limit on Them.

Milwaukee, Dec. 3-Relatives cannot
visit other members OF the family in
Milwaukee and remain for more than
reasonable length of time without
being liable for bill for board.
Justice Graves has just rendered a
decision in a suit brought by Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo SAKE to collect S55, which
they alleged was owed by their second
cousin, Arthur Vogel and his wife, for
board.
The testimony showed that the Vo-
gels, early in June paid the SaXes a
visit, which was continued until the
middle Of July. Then they left. Some
time later the two women dissolved
friendship, and a suit for board fol-
lowed.
The Vogels said that their stay had
been prolonged only at the urgent re-
quest of the Saxes. The Justice held
that five weeks was a longer term than
could strictly be called visit If the
hosts cared to present bill for board
