public buildings and grounds has So
increased that almost every commu.
nifty is clamoring for a public build
ing; and the men who want to be
custodians and janitors Of the pro.
posed buildings are urging their con.
. gresSmen TO foster this extravaganza.
The people who have the right TO
reward the faithful public servants
by re-electing them, and TO punish
the unfaithful by not re-electing
them, are responsible for existing
conditions. Uncle Sam is rich and
can afford some luxuries, but prodi-
gality and wastefulness are little less
than criminal in governments as we'll
as in individuals Uncle sam can
stand a little summer shower of ex.
trayagance while the bank account
is in good condition, but deluge Of
wastefulness disgusts him. and his
wrath arises.
The people must not place tie
blame for these conditions upon an,
political party. The writer ha, seen
democrats, republicans, greenbackers.
and even popuIists in congress max.
ing frantic grabs at the treasury for
part of the surplus. The first ad.
ministration Of Grover Cleveland was
one of the most honorable and com
mendable that this country has ever
had, and the second was regarded rs
most proHigate. The administration
Of Benjamin Harrison was not alto.
getler blameless, nor was the Ne.
kinley administration absolutely free
from abuses Of power. People are
narrow in the extreme who imagine
that any one political party can be
perfect.
What the people ought 10 do is 10
nominate only good men whom tbsr
know To be honorable, and TO zle':
only those who viii pledge them.

pe1ses. and keep those pledges. The
iallr lies not with parties. bur with
the plain people themselves. They
cannot shift the blame Il must r=,t
upon their own shoulders. Tasy
must look more closely into the 15....
lca- affairs Il their country.

THE PRESS IN MANILA.

One of the tricks of Latin civilization which the editors of American newspa- pers in Manila seem to have caught with an alacrity worthy of a better eX- ample is the unrestrained and irrespon- sible character of newspaper criticism. French Italian and Spanish neWspa- pers carry whatsoever liberty of the press they possess to such extremes that it becomes license of the most sweeping character. Their criticism of government acts is often as frivolous as it is childish and brutal in it's rage and bitterness, and the elemnt of responsi- bility that has usually marked the con- duct of British and American journal ism is but little in evidence.
 Unfortunately, the American neWspa- pers in Manila, instead of living up to American standards have adopted the ways of their Spanish brethren, hence indiscriminating attacks on and scur- rilous abuse of the civil government and of the natives have been the order of the day. As Governor Taft points out elsewhere, these attacks have been highly libelous, but, being impersonal, the offenders could not be reched under the libel laws. Since, however their at- tacks have passed beyond all the bounds of legitimate criticism, it has been decided to prosecute the editor of one of the offending newspapers the .tFreedom," under the sedition laws. As explained by Governor Taft, the action is necessary for the public peace and for the promotion of orderly and hon est government, since the unrestrained abuse of these un-American editors is having a serious effect on the natives who were, with the commission, the particular objects of attack.
 There is nothing in the proceedings, however that is in any way menace to the freedom of the press in Manila. The liberty of editors to indulge in frank manly criticism, to expose wrong and to promote good government is not interfered with, but in Manila, as in the United States. the authorities cannot permit a license that is grossly libelous and sedtious and endangers public se- curity to go on hecked.-Philadel- phia Press.

TALES Or THE. CLUB BY JAMES ALBERT WALES

The boys dug a ditch around the cleared space, to drain off moisture, and set to work again at leveling the courts. They secured the use of heavy roller from a local pay Ing concern and rolled the courts faithfully for several days. Success finally crowned their efforts, for the ground hardened nicely and required only little care now and then to keep 1t in first-class condition.
 ''As far as laying out the courts are con cerned,' remarked George Graham, "Fd much rather play ping pongr'
 The treasurer was authorized to buy two dozen tennis balls, 120 yards of wire netting, three yards wide, and the necessary lumber for the framework of the backstops. The boys supplied their own racquets.
 The wire netting was put up at either end of the playing space. A framework was constructed by placing at each end four by 4 posts, % feet in length and % feet apart. The posts were IS feet above the surface supporting two rows of netting fastened to light cross pieces At the ends they were turned in slightly to prevent balls from rolling or bounding beyond the netting
 The nets were stretched between 3 by posts at either end of each court, and each was supported in the center by light stick. In marking out the courts the boys used heavy solution of masons lime and a white wash brush. The dimensions in the official rule book were adhered to, and the boys
