A More AmicabIe Method Preferred.
PhiladeJphia Ledger

Whether or not Senior Buencamino Is what
he claims to be-the representative of the
federal party in the Philippines, of the in
fuential elements of the insurgents and Of
the powerful and dangerous katipunan So
ciety-he is, at least we'll informed as to
Philippine affairs Rd a man of influence
among the islanders. He gave the house
committee on insular affairs some cogent rea-
sons why the Filipinos should not be left
tc themselves at the present time, and it is
to be hoped he expressed the real sentiments
of the bodies he claimed to represent when
he said they preferrd American rule to- that
of Japan or any European nation; but 1t
could be wished that they would take more
amicable way of demonstrating their prefer
epca.

the threshing of our wheat is still done after

surface, the wheat is piled in the center ready
to be thrown beneath the feet of horses, sheep
and goats, which animals are then driven
around and around until the grain is sepa-
rated from the husks. Winnowng is carried
on in an equally primitive manner men and
women tossing the crop into the air by shovel

A Changed Memorial Day.

Chicago Post.
,For some years the character of Memorial
Day has been undergoing change. Ten
years ago it was almost wholly devoted to
honoring the memory of our soldier Dead
Ave years ago the beautiful ceremony of
decking the graves of veterans with flowers
divided public interest with outdoor sports ;
to-day we receive the impression that ath-
letics and general merrymaking are the most
striking features. 1t is still called Memorial
Day, but the memory of the dead and the
decorating of graves seem to play distinctly
minor part.

Albany Journal.

This section of the Ohio platform should be
kept in mind by every republican and every
patriotic American citizen: cit is the nations
army, drawn from every section of the coun

ing the nations battles under the nations
flag, and we resent with indignation recent
democratic efforts to drag it's honor in the
dust and to cast reproach upon it's fair name"
The army in the Philippines is not repub-
liean army, as seems to be believed by some
members of the democratic party. 1t is made

The bill of Senator Clapp of Minnesota
which would appropriate $4,000. 600 for the ex-
penses of commission to investigate the
industrial and economic conditions in Cuba
and for the purchase of seed, stock: ma
chinery etc." for the Cuban planters seems
to promise a roundabout way of making
rebate on the American duties sugar. Is
it intended as a sop to the Cubans to ap-
pease their disappointment at the expected
failure of the reciprocity measure?

royal sport of men willing to risk their
own Lives in taking others.
1t is rather difficult to defend the kill
ing Of harmless wild animals when their
flesh Is not needed for md. killing. that
is to say, purely for the satisfaction Of
killing, yet so strong is the killing instinct
that once he is afleld and the guns begin
! to roar the scruples of the most tender
hearted are forgotten and a fierce pleas
.ure is experienced In the falling to earth
Of tho shattered form that testifles to an
accurate aim.
It is hard to find any better defense Of
the sport than, that it is human. Presi-
dent Roosevelt receives many letters from
people who find fault with him for being
bloodthirsty hunter, but his answer to
them Is that he cannot see how anyone
cannot understand such thoroughly hu-
man pleasure. Men have too many gener-
ations of hereditary love of the chase be-
hind them to be able to eradicate the love
of killing in one or two generations. But
there are already many instances of men
who have abandoned the rifle for the field
glasses and the gun for the camera. who
find their pleasure in observing life in
stead Of destroying it.

Who is Supervisor q?

We understand there is some hitch over
the office of supervisor of registration.
Our readers will remember that some
weeks ago we published the fact that Mr..
N. P. Smoak had been appointed as a
member of the board to take the place of
Mr.. Carl W. Rowell, who had left the
county. Itnow appears that MIR. RowelPs
absence was only temporary, and he in
tends to hold on, as his commission is for
two years and does not expire until next
January some time. He was present the
first Monday in March when the board
met and will be here next Monday to serve
as member In the meantime Mr.. Smoak
has received his commission and has
qualified as member of the board. It
probable that both men will be ready to
serve Monday, and what will be done
about the matter is not known at this
time. Certain it is that both men cannot
serve, and the question is, which one will
give way. We understand that Mr.. Smoak
was not an applicant for the position, and
was placed on the board, because the mag
istracy of Fishpond township, which he
| held, was abolished at the late session of
the general assembly. Our information
is that Mr.. Rowell was displaced only for
the reason that our legislative delegation
were under the impression that he had
left the county.

Court House Repairs.

Clerk of Court c. B. Free is having
some needed changes and repairs made
in the court room. Heretofore two extra
bailiffs have been needed on account
of the location of the doors to the petit
Jury rooms. These have been changed,
and now the doors are located where
the Judge can see them all the time
q jury is in the room. The Supervisor
will move his office down stairs and the
office formerly occupied by him will be
used as the grand jury room. This puts
all the juries on the second floor, and the
result will be that business can be dis
patched more rapidly, as well as saving
the expense of two bailiffs. The wood
work and plastering is being we'll done,
and when finished will exactly match the
finish of the court house. eplastering
in different parts of the court house will
| also be repaired, as will the cement floors
in the office of clerk of court and Judge
of probate. The clerk deserves the thanks
of the taxpayers for his good work.

Is the Board Illegal?

EDITOR THE BAMBERG HERRALD:-l
have understood that the county board OF
commissioners as now organized, is an
illegal body, for the reason that one OF Its
members, viz: Mr.. T. J. Rentz, who rep
resents Midway township, is not free
holder, and my information is that to be
eligible to said position one must own
real estate. also believe that during the
past few months he has not resided IN
Midway township, but lives in Fishpond
township. Kindly inform the public
through your paper whether these state
ments are correct or not. VOTER.
[The editor will state that he has ex-
amined the records and does not find that
Mr.. Rentz owns any real estate. If he
does, we have not been able to find a
record of it. Our information is that he
lives on rented land. The Revised Statutes
lay down the law governing county
boards of commissioners, and there it is
required that to be eligible as member
Of the board man must be "freeholder." !"
The law may have been changed since
these Statutes, but of this we cannot say.
We have been told that Commissioner
Rentz now lives in Fishpond township
