PASSAGE OF THE PHILIPPINE
BILL.

The Philippine Civil Government bill
was passed by the Senate Tuesday after
a seven weeks debate, and by strictly
party vote, except that Senator Hoar,
Of Massachusetts, Mason, of Illinois,
and Wellington, of Maryland, voted
with the Democrats against it, and Sen.
ator McLaurin, ofSouth Carolina, voted
for it with the Republicans.
The professed object Of the bill is to
provide Temporary" civil government
only for the Filippinos. 1t continues the
present civil administration, but modifi-
es it in several particulars. Members of
the commission and the principal civil
officers of the islands will hereafter
require confirmation by the Senate.
The Judges Of the higher courts will no
longer be appointed by the commission,
but by the President of the United
States. The bill also provides that as
soon as complete peace is established a
census of the islands shall be taken,
showing for each province and mum.
icipality separately all Information
needful to inform the President and
Congress concerning the capacity, fitness
and readiness of all the people of the
Philippine Islands, and of particular ISL
ands, provinces and municipalities and
other civil divisions, for the establish
ment and maintenance in the Philippine
Islands, or certain of them, of per-
manent popular representative govern.
ment.
Beyond this the only hint the bill
gives Of the possible future establishment
of government for the Filipinos by the
Filipinos is provision that the COM
mission shall, after the census is taken,
report fully to the President and to Con-
gress-
whether or not all or certain of the Phil
ippine Islands are capable, fit and ready
for the establishment of permanent
popular representative government.
Meantime the commission is given al.
most unlimited power to establish ad.
ditional municipal and provincial gov.
ernments throughout the islands; also tc
dispose of the 67,Ooo,OO0 acres Of theil
public lands. Under the land clauses
of the bill, in fact, the door is vide open
for such an exploitation of the islands
as might, in the course Of few years
leave but little of value in them for the
natives even if they should eventually
be allowed to govern themselves.
| From practical purposes the passage
of this bill makes no material change il
the status Of the Philippines and thei
1 9, 100000 people. They will continue tt
live under q so.called civil government
which is none of their choosing, anc
which could not be maintained ove
them for week were 1t not for its back
ground of bayonets and artillery. This
bill simply provides for the indefinite
proloneation of that kind of govern
ment and with it the indefinite prolong
alton of our military occupation of tn
islands at cost of considerable owe
500, 900, 600 year. 1t will do nothin
towares permanently pacifying the Isl
ands and releasing US from the burden
and, perplexlties of holding and rulin
them by armed force, unless it is supple
/ mented by plain declaration of ou
ultimate purpose to let the Filipinos d
in their islands what we have let th
Cubans dc in theirs-govern themselves

REASON IN RELIG1oN

Reason in Religion" was recently the
subject of DR.. William Macafees SER
mon in the First Methodist Church, Ev-
anston. DR.. Macafee said that great
hue and cry was raised when DR.. Briggs
published his book taking the ground
that the church. the Bible and the rea-
son We're coordinate in authority. For
himself he would be compelled to go
much further and hold that in some re-
spects the reason is the final arbiter in
absolutely all questions that come up
for determination by men.
Speaking of the necessity for right
views Of the Bible he said:
The fact is, it always has been nee
essary to exercise a little judgment In
reading the Bible. Suppose man in
the random method of turning his book
and in the belief that every word In it
is of equal Importance should turn to
the verse in Job that says Curse God
and die would he really take that TO be
Gods special message to him for that
hour?
Campbell Morgan told us that he
used to come to the Bible in that way,
and one day when he was in great spir-
itual straits he opened to the passage,
Am l not thine ass on which thou hast
ridden ever since 1 have been thine?

SIDEWALKS AND INJURIES.

Hampton Recorder.1
Mrs. Bclkin. who fell down on the
sidewalk at Iowa Falls, was awarded
$4,000 damages by jury at Eldora last
week. These personal injury cases are
becoming frequent, where some town
like Iowa Falls or Hampton is defend
ant, and as the matter is now running,
any town is liable to be held up to Its
taxable limit al any time. The mystery
about the whole affair is that 1t is 80
much easier to get jury to give big
judgment against a town than 1t is
against railway company or some
large corporation. Take the case of the
woman who got $4,000 verdict who
fell down and broke her wrist here in
town couple of years ago: If this
had been done In railway accident
she would have been lucky to have got
ten verdict for couple of hundred
dollars and pass for six months or a
year. The heirs of the brakeman who
was killed near the Iowa Central depot
last spring settled for about $1,500. and
:, man who lost hand amputated at
the wrist. In collision near Oskaloosa.
three or four years ago, got only $3.50,
and his lawyers half OF that. Town and
city councils should be on the lookout
in these cases. One trouble is that we
is that those we do build are not good
enough. The council ought to quit at
once allowing board walks to be built
