that "the Church knows and teaches

and that He has thus sanctioned the
immutable principle of an enduring
separation between those two pow

1t is declared that notwithstanding
this protest, which any one who
knows anything of the Papacy knows
is true to her real character as this
recent declaration of the Pope that
she favors separation between the
things of God and the things of
Caesar, is most decidedly not, "the
Papacy for long time has not been

it was made punishable offense to ad-

Worst of all; even if the war taxes are
repealed the war is not at an end. We
are still maintaining a force of oTer 5000
men in the Philippines, and are shooting
down the natives by the seore-an be-
cause they dare to assert that govern

ing war taxes three years to support an
army which has been shooting out of the
minds of the Fiipinos these self-evident

Would that along with the end of the
war taxes would come absolution for our
objectionable offenses against our own

TIE ONLY TRUE POLICY.

The current discussion as to what are
the real views of the president and his
predecessor, and of Prof schurman and
the others as to the Philippines has
value. It's value does not consist in the
settlement of the question what those
gentlemen respectively said or thought or
think. 1t lies in the fact that the entire
discussion shows that the public mind
is not content to let matters drift as
they are at present in the archipelago
and that the administration must before
long make its real position plain.
One day and by one man We are in
formed that the war in the Philippines
is closed. The next day, and through
another man, we have the information
that the activity of the belIigerent ma
tiyes is stiH great, and that a standing
army OF good dimensions will be required
for an indefinite time. One day we are
assured that the native is Incapable Of
civilization or self government; the next
day we are told that very great interest
is being shown by him in the coming
local elections in certain localities. Gov.
Taft presents one view of the situation.
Gen. Wheaton another and an absolutely
irreconcilable view.
The truth is that no ordinarily well-in-
formed person knows anything further
about the situation than that we are
maintaining form of government over
there which is pure absolutism; that mil
itary sway over the lives and property
OF the residents is complete, and that
no man with an opinion adverse to the
existing situation, and willing to give ex-
preston to it, can remain at large for
any length of time on the islands. He is
either depoTted or put in jail Gen.
Wheaton knew what he was talking
about when he declared that any man
heard speaking in the Philippines as
President schurman has just spoken
would be put in jail for treason.
What should be done in situation of
this kind? What can be done? We can
not leave the country. We cannot go on
indefinitely occupying it as conquered
territory, as We are now doing. We give
even to the North American Indian GER
tain constitutional guarantees that we
deny to the natives of our Eastern pos
session. Gov. Taft says give them local
government" Then Wheaton saws.

MATTER TUESDAY EVENING

May Kick.

Next Tuesday evening the board OF
public works will send to the board or
aldermen a final order calling for the
widening of Sibiey street from Third
street to the alley adjoining the union
depot The work when completed Will
represent an expenditure of nearly $780,
600.
IF prompt action is taken by the two
council bodies, bids will be let and con-
tracts placed so that the work of tear
ing down the buildings can commence
with the opening of spring, but, it is
thought opposition will result, and the
Improvement be held up.
The Union Depot company has agreed
to stand for reasonable assessment for
the widening, but the property owners
directly benefited are in a manner OPP
posed to the plan of the board of public
works relative to assessing the cost, and
may make a vigorous protet. They
think that the Improvement is of general
benefit, and the cost should IN conse-
quence be spread as extensively as pos
sible.
In addition to tearing out the build
ing on the northwest corner to permit
the opening of the street, the board is
calculating the repaving Of the street, and
also the widening of the sidewalks.

TIE rKt1s TO BE REAcHED.

When President Hill. of the Great
Northern Railroad company, was before
the interstate commerce commission a
few days ago he declared among other
things that the railroad official who
would exact unreasonable or discrim-
mating charges should be punished for
his offense the same as any other robber.
The law should so provide; and if it did
not, Mr.. Hills idea was that it could
not be changed too quickly to furnish
such punishment.
These declarations will go farther than
any other single circumstance to bring
about such changes in the present fed
eral commerce law as will be adequate to
put an end to railroad extortion and ia
voritism. Already the plans are form
ed to have congress make such amend
ments to the interstate commerce law
as to admit of such punishment. The
failure to make such provision long
time ago is due entirely to those who
insist on keeping a state of war in ex-
istence among the several railroads on
the foolish understanding that by main
tanning open competition the people viii
be best served.
The view Of the supreme court on those
+ portions of the interstate law which are
found defective are well known to law
yers and railroad men alike They have
demanded action from congress ever
since they were expressed. But congress
has failed to discharge its duty in that
as in many other directions. If the in
telligent sentiment of both houses could
be made available for action, without ref
erence to the possible consequences on
public sentiment, congress would I'M
doubtedly a long time ago have brought.
open competition to close and would
have done SO in the interests of reason
able and just charges. But it has fawn-
ed before the false and ignorant view of
railroad economy which insists on the
maintenance of the competition fallacy
A good many proposals are now in cir
culation for amendments to the inter
state commerce law. There Is none of
these which should receive the support
of any public journal at this time, with
out the fullest consideration by congress-.
Presumably, of course, the suggestions
of the members of the commission ought
to be acted on. Any provision looking
to preventing fraud and robbery such
as was recently shown to exist in favor
of the packers should be self-enforcing,
and the officials with whose knowledge
such unjust discrimination existed should
be punished as ordinary criminals The
maintenance of unreasonable rates after
the declaration of the proper authority
as to what constituted reasonable
rates, confirmed, of course by the courts,
must be made a criminal offense on the
part of the offending railroad officials. In
no other way can the main evil of rail-
road administration, now protected by
the decision of the supreme court, be
abolished
Properly amended the interstate law
will put an end to cutthroat competition,
at the same time that it provides for
sending dishonest railroad officials to
jail for demanding the public
