FOR FILIPINO coinage
Director of the Mint Roberts
Would Make American
Money Legal Tender
PROFIT IN SPECULATION NOW
American Money Shipped to Philip
pines Picked Up by the Chinese and
Taken Out Of circuIation-Action by
Congress Would Remove opportun-
ity-Roberts Interviewed.

Washington, Oct. 24.-Mr George r..
Roberts, director of the mint, in an in
| terview on the rejecting by the Fill
Ipino commission of the law passed by
the last session of congress providing
II for an Independent system of coinage
for the Flipinos, said:
congress is not fit for the islands and
is not to be put in operation there, !
think that the best way would be to
have a law passed by congress at the
next session providing that on and aftet
a certain date American money shall
be legal tender in the islands. That
might make some confusion at the
start, but it would come out all right
in the end. 1t is true that all of the
American money shipped to the islands
now is picked up by the Chinese and
taken out of circulation, but that is
because there is a profit in the trans
action Were congress to make Ameri-
can money legal tender, however, the
opportunity for specializing in the cur
rency would be removed.
The money stock of the islands,
aside from what American money may
be there, is about $3O,O00,000 Mexican.
1t would be comparatively easy mat
ter for us to replace this with Amer
lean money. suppose that we would
have to give them a half-cent piece,
They have quarter-cent pieces there
now, but as the rate of wages is rising
rapidly they would probably soon ac-
custom themselves to having nothing
smaller in value than the half-cent."

Color in the Southwest.

MaXf1eld Parrish, seven of Whose
drawings in color of the southwest APP.
pear as frontispieces to the November
Century, sends to the editor of tina
magazine, in response to his request
some observations on the subject, from
which we make these extracts:
The desert is gray and white anG
yellow, a background which intensifies
the red shirt of the cowboy and the
blanket of the Indian. The landscape
of red and ocher also brings out all the
blue there is in the sky. Titan did
the same thing; how fond he was OF
placing a tan-colored figure against his
blue skies, a contrast which, no doubt
helped to make his skies the marvel
they are. In the southwest your face
is always lifted UP. looking into air
and space and freedom; and day after
day the sky is clear and blue: it is al
ways with you, and you see more Of it
than you ever saw before; so no Won
der you say there is no blue like the
sky of Arizona.
But it is not the intense blue of New
England; it is a pale blue, and there is
a heaven full of it every day and night.
When you see. bare red Arizona
mountain a long way off. the blue and
violet and purple of it seem like the
work of magic. Put such a mountain
in New England, put it over against
the east in clear sunset glow, and it
would be more startling than in Ari-
IONA. But we have not such noun
tains here, and Arizona has not our at
capable of giving color TO the
dingiest object. However, she has
great local color, and great distances
TO change 1T into many tints. A field
of alfalfa is the most brilliant of
greens; the vermilion fy-catcher is a
comet in the sky--he positively CLOVIS
like a light, he is so brilliant. One has
but to stand on the rim of the Grand
Canon, look across at THE other wall,
thirteen miles away, and watch it at
sunrise or sunset, in order to see color
which can exist nowhere else. AT the
beginning or at the end of the day the
great forms of which the walls are
made cast their most wonderful shad-
ows. They are so far off and there is
80 much air in between that the light
and shade seem unreal, like mirage
which you know will vanish in q little
while. The low sunlight falls OF the
red towers and spires, and causes chem
10 glow us tho a light We're within
them, like a great thunder-h head at
sunset; and thousands of feet down in
to the chasm falls the shadow, a blue
rom dreamland, a blue from which all
he skies of the world We're made.

The Return OF the Cradle.

The child is susceptible, absorbing
both good and bad Give him the OPP
sportunity, and he will find the means.
Some one must care for him, and with
wisdom. If you would have perfect
contentment as well as discipline, re-
turn the cradle from the attic to the
nursery. The theory of the injury to
a child from rocking is without foun
dation. On the contrary, the results
are positively beneficial The nursery
is destitute without the cradle. The
future welfare Of the child also is de-
pendent upon it. There is talk Of an
increased nervousness among children
Of today. II they had the cradle to
,oothe their weary nerves. this might
rot be the case. The cradle can do nc
,arm and may do great deal Of good

$500 Blaze at Waterloo.

Special to imes-Iieoupiican:
Waterloo. Oct. 24.-Fire in the fac
tory Of the Iowa Skirt Manufacturing
Company last night entailed loss of
about S1,500. most of the damage be-
ing to finished walking skirts and un-
derskirts, watersoaked stock and i'll
jured machinery.
AS near as can be learned the fire
was caused by one of the gas ironers
in the establishn' Mt, it being the opin-
ion that one of me burners was left
lighted when the force quit work for
the day. The machinery of the factory
is located on the second floor of the
building on Sycamore street and this
was where the blaze originated.

Large Telegraph Service and Enters
Into Direct Competition With the
Old Trust Companies.

New York, Oct. 24.-Determinatior
of the Western Union Telegraph com
pany to fight the removal of its wires
from the right of way cc the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company brings to at
tention possible powerful competitor
IN the American Telephone and Tele-
graph. Ostensibly a telephone COM
pany, it is doing the highest grade OF

IN the country. 1t has 1856 miles OF

bracing l9S,6S4 miles of Wire. This Is
the long distance business of the COM
pany alone.

system has grown with the Importance
of Chicago and western cities In the

mission houses pay ..l6,OOO per ahnunl

them 40 per cent of the business 70
the New York stock exchange is trans

The American Telephone and Tele-
graph controls the old American Bell
Telephone companies thruout the unit
cd States. having u directing interest
ell told in forty companies, with a to-
tai capital of $199,212,932. The Amer
leans capital is s114,S5S,4 400. SO that the
total involved is $314,071,342.
Thru control of the Bell companies
the American Telephone and Telegraph
controls the Chicago Telephone and
Central Union companies, as we'll az
what are known as the trust COM
panies in all important cities Of the
country.
Yet this powerful corporation lets
little of it's business be known, except
as to the output Of instruments. While
friendly interests disclaim any lnten-
ton on the part of the company to In
wade the telegraph field, it is doing so
for the highest class service. AT present
there seems to be no intention to give
message service compromising

ties In the matter of competition.

Iowa Away. Republican.

LGOvernor Cumm1nS at Cnlcaso.J
1t is not less surprising than anus
ing to hear the orthodoxy of Iowa re-
publicans questioned. Far be it for me
to disparage the zeal or steadfastness
of the republicans of any state; but
have been accustomed to think that the
republicans of my state were quite as
Trustworthy and quite as steady, as
their brothers in any other state of the
union. The bare suggestion that there
is any departure from the old faith
brings instinctively to my mind the
memorable contest of 1896. 1 had the
honor at that time to represent these
Republicans upon the national COM
mittee; and for three months sat in
this building with the representatives
of other states, to watch and guide that
vital conflict.
There were some gloomy days. There
prehension and fear rested heavily up
on the men who sat around the counsel
table. In moments Of doubt have
heard it asked; Is illinois all right 2
How will Ohio go? What are the
chances in indiana? What will be the
outcome in Michigan? Can we carry
Minnesota? Have we any chance in
the Dakotas? May we expect success in
Kansas and Nebraska? But, in all those
months, with their shifting scenes os
perplexity and their varying moods Of
hope and fear, there never came from
the lips of any man the inquiry: What
will Iowa do? Everybody knew that,
whatever any other state might do
Iowa was safe. The memory Of these
days of peril are still vivid with me, anc.
] recall them only to give emphasis to
my utterance when ] say that Iowa
now, as then, holds fast to the eternal
principles of the republican party.
