Governor Taft is holding important
conferences with the Pope on the fri
airs question in the Philippines. This
subject is developing some little
trouble. The Vatican is stated as OPP
posing the expulsion of the friars
from the. Philippines, whereas the
United States is determined upon
such course. Governor Taft, other
officials. and a mass of testimony have
shown that these friars have been re-
sponsible for large amount of the
trouble among the natives: that they
are narrow. bigoted, and intolerant of
any OF the Improvements or innova-
tions which the United States is in
Producing in the islands for the good
of the natives: and that while they
hold some influence over some of the
natives they are detested and hated
by them, the latter believing that
they have been robbed in wholesale
fashion by the friars. Governor Taft
has nice piece of diplomatic work
on hand, but his attitude and that of
this country is very firm on this point.

The influence of the United States
as a world power is seen in the result
of the recent appeal made TO Wash
ington by China to use American in
fluence to cause the evacuation of
Tientsin by foreign soldiers i'm con-
formity with the agreement made at
Pekin. 1t is alleged by the Chinese
government that the foreign officers
limited the number of Chinese police
allowed IN the city with the idea of
having the job themselves of keeping
order at remunerative salaries. Sec
rotary Hay acted with promptness,
and the powers have agreed to i'm

continuing that controversy and are
now at loggerheads as to who had the
honor Of leading the Democracy into

This is splitting hairs. The Democ-

beyond any doubt, even had ten Ma

There is some talk in the east of
forming a new political party. Elk
Senator Pettigrew, who is one of the
movers, is credited with saying:
"Bryan will not be the candidate of
the regular Democracy in 1914, but
he and his friends hope to have much
TO say regarding the platform and
management of the campaign. If he
does not, Bryan and his associates
will form new party, based on the
Kansas City platform. Free silver
will not again be a political issue.
