SOLDIERS MAY NOT MARRY.
ing Filipino Women Condemned
by the War Department.

United States soldiers who marry
Filipino women in the future will run
very great risk of being dishonorably
discharged from the service. The fire.;
1uency of such marriages has been
made the subject of a report to the war;
department. from Gen. Chaffee, who
axes the ground that rather than
give the soldier an excuse to desert
lis native wife when his regiment is
ordered to other quarters, he will
order the soldier discharged without
honor. One of the requirements of
enlistment is that the applicant be not
married, and a marriage after enlist
nent rs regarded as just as detrimental
TO the service as before enlistment,
in which latter case the applicant
would not be enlisted, reports the
Washington Star.
Army chaplains have the right to
marry anyone they please, but they
customarily do not marry enlisted men
without the consent of the command
ing officers. Generally such consent
is withheld in the case of enlisted men,
inasmuch as at posts there are limited
accommodations even for married
commissioned officers.
If soldiers in the Philippines marry
native women and then, when their
regiments are ordered away, attempt
to desert them, they may be held as
| being guilty of conduct prejudicial to
good discipline and dropped from the
service on that score. Inasmuch as a
soldier enlists as an unmarried man
the army can make no provision fer
the care of his wife.
There has undoubtedly been wan
| ton cruelty practiced on native women
| by enlisted soldiers who married them,
hiding in their hearts the cowardly in
| tent to desert them whenever their
regiments left the islands," said the
Manila Times in recent editorial.
"* n It is question if chap
| lainA who have thus made it possible
for tie men to violate a fundamental
| law of honor and decency may not
| themselves be liable to discipline for
aiding and abetting an infraction of
| discipline.

Enough to Confuse.

It appears from the campaign
speeches that all the good things which
have come upon the country are due to
the Dingley tariff; all the bad things
are the result of natural laws. over
which the republican party has had no
control. Thus, while republican policy
has caused good crops and general
prosperity, it has had nothing to do
with the growth of trusts, which
merely illustrate universal tendency.
The general advance of prices indi-
Gates the prosperity. flowing from the
tariff; if wages and salaries have not
advanced correspondingly, it is be-
cause they are controlled by the law
of supply and demand. A similar dis
tinction runs through the whole po-
litical and economic field. If not al
ways convincing it is most convenient.
Yet some times it is a little confusing
to the logical mind.-Philadelphi

PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.
Materially the People Are ProsperinE
and Taking Readily to the New
Order of Things.

A little more than four years ago
Zen. Miles landed in Porto Rico and
;he American flag was raised at
5uanica. About two years ago civil
government upon the American
model was definitely established in
;he island, says Youths Companion.
The welcome which the Porto
Ricans gave to the American army
hey have extended to the institu-
ions set up by the American govern
nent. They have taken readily to
the new laws and the new order of
things generally. The island legis-
lature has used its powers wisely and
with moderation. At the first cleo
ton two years ago. the people were
so unaccustomed to political cam
paigns that one party withdrew it's
candidates in a pet, and there was no
real contest at the polls. Next No
vember a new Legislature, mayors
and other officers are to be chosen;
and a lively interest is already man.
Tested in the political and personal
issues involved.
Materially the poor are prospecting.
They are developing the sugar, coffee,
tobacco, fruit and other agricultural
industries. Last year they sold
abroad nearly 13 million dollars
worth of their products, which was
more than half as much again as in
the preceding year. Improved SANTA
ton has diminished the death rate;
so that there were $4,000 fewer
deaths last year than the year be-
fore. Nearly $4,000 Porto Rican chill
1ren are in the public schools. and
two industrial schools are to be
opened this fall.
The prosperity of Porto Rico seems
20 be based on secure founda lions
md the future of the island is full
IF promise.

informed republican newspaper, the
Record Herald, that the president Is
at the point of open rupture with Sec
rotary Shaw and that the latter may
resign from the cabinet. That there
were differences between the president
and Mr.. Shaw as to tariff revision has
been Suspected"
This informa ton is doubtless cor
rect as far as the differences about the
tariff, but that Shaw will resign from
the cabinet must be an eXaggera ton.
He may be forced out, he might die,
but he will never resign. Why, Shaw
never had such soft snap in his life
before. With Wall street giving him
taffy and-vorking him for favors Shaw
will not quit such delicious job. Then
think of all the glories of the "Wash-
ington season" that is in store for the
Shaws. What, retire to the Iowa corn
fields; not much. Shaw will talk pro-
lection or free trade, trust control or
free trusts, but resign, never.

ROOSEVELT PARApHRAsED.
tions That Need Cause the
Trusts Any Alarm.

It is pleasing to know that some at
least of the republican leaders who had
come to look on Mr.. Roosevelt as
trouble hunter" are, since his speech
at Cincinnati, praising him for his
"conservatism.'' This is based chiefly
on the very emphatic manner in which
the president made it plain that he had
no intention of advocating the only
practical present curb on the evils at
tending the trusts-namely, the with
drawal from them of the favors of the
tariff. But without this most recent
demonstration of his purpose not to
interfere with the idol of his party
there does not seem to have been any
thing in the propositions of Mr.. Roose-
welt that need alarm the most timid of
the politicians, says the New York
Times. After giving effect to all the
qualifications on which he insists there
is not much left to his speeches. Take
his latest and most carefully ella Dor
ated utterance at Cincinnati. Suppose
that he had contented himself with a
statement in substance as follows:
mo one knows eXacly what is meant
by trusts There are good ones and
there are bad ones. / do not know ex-
actly how to tell them apart. I do not
know precisely what the evils of the
bad ones are. Whatever they may be,
congress has not now the power to
remedy them. 1 do not know exactly

REPUBLICANS RATIFIED.
1T Is No Wonder That the Advocates
of High Tariff Don't Know
Where They Are "At."

President Roosevelt in all his
speeches never once referred to the re-
publican campaign text book, nor for
that matter does any other campaign
orator that has so far been heard from.
Was all the time and labor of the COM
piler of that interesting production in
vain? Are all the reputed facts and
figures to be buried in the junk shop?
The president openly rebuked the con-
gressiona1 com mittee that issued the
campaign book by discussing the very
matters that were omitted from that
interesting production, such as Cuban
reciprocity and the reciprocity treaties.
He also took issue with the committee
on the tariff and trust questions.
With the president on the stump re-
futing the arguments put forth by
the republican committee in its Off
cial text book and rebuking the mis-
sion of matter that makes important
issues, that party certainly is in a torn
up state and it is no wonder that so
many republicans don't know where
they are at.

20 the photographic Office in Wash

Royalty in Hawaii is thing of the

valued at half million dollars. Red,
black and yellow feathers are used

Hundreds of Dollars
Spent In Vain---Pe-

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
Its more often, however, the cause OF
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seri ously de-
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases
of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result OF
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, butuntil the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated
