TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING. J
School Commencements Are Too Long and
Elaborate, Says ]. A. L.

To the Editor: An Irishman once said
''Too much of a good thing is just
enough" But there may be too mucn
even of good thing A sermon may
be good. and yet too long. Our school,
commandments are generally good, but
there is always too much of them. Our
schools have gone to a great and unwise
extreme in their closing exercises. En-
tirely too much time is spent, may we
not say wasted, in preparing for these
exercises. The time thus spent would
be much better used in studying school
books. Often from three to six weeks
of the latter part of schol terms are
spent in preparing for closing exercises.
These exercises may amuse or please an
audience for few hours; but what last
ing good is done? There are some teach
ers who spend no time in preparations
for entertainments; but keep their stu
dents close at work with their textbooks.
This gives the substantial, rather than
the merely ornamental in education.
There is too much time consumed in
preparing, and performing commence
ment exercises. People get tired of such
protracted services. 1t is with many, in
regard to school exercises, as it was with
the man who was asked how he liked a
certain sermon; he said: Il enjoyed the
first two hours of it fairly we'll, but |
got tired after that" 1t may be safely
said, that such exercises do not add
much to the knowledge of students, or
to the intelligence of the people, Would
it not be well to limit these exercises to
one day, or a part of day?
These exercises are Objectionable on
the ground of expense.
Three or four speakers from a distance
are engaged. Their travelling expenses.
and some remuneration for services must
be paid. This burden falls on students,
many of whom find it hard to bear. They
need what little money they can get to
buy books, and provide other essentials
to education. Many of the best colleges
and schools have abolished the protracted
and tedious commencement exercises. II
is great improvement. 1t will be wise
to follow this example.
As commandments are now about over
for this year, let the matter be studied
and improved on by another years.

Tnf TRUTH IN
 TMf PHILIPPINES.

Governor General Taft of the Phil l ippines, recently arrived from Manila, confidentially declares that the civil government established by us in the Philippines is success and that ami cable relations with the Filipinos will soon be generally attained.
 The St. Louis Republic, commenting on this statement says:
 .sThe facts in the case do not justify this rosy optimism of the Governor General. They tend, instead, to more firmly convince the student of the situation, not only tbat American civil government in the Philippines is as yet a failure, but that it promises to be failure for many years to come, if, indeed, it is ever successfully es- abolished. The national spirit of the Filipinos is one of revolt against Amer ican authority. The spirit is exactly that which was felt toward Spain. For generations the Spanish government fought in vain to subjugate the people of the Philippines. We are more than likely to duplicate Spain's experience.
 "The strong arm of the American military alone is all that maintains order in the Philippines, and this only at powerfully garrisoned points. The islands are still in rebellion. We would as we'll look the truth squarely aix ment of the Philippines are attempted, the American army of occupation be- ing materially reduced, the result would be American disaster and whole sale tragedy. There is no. present in- dication that this condition will ever change. The holding of the Philip pines and the forcible government of their people means military not a civil government.
 This wise and truly American pol icy toward the Philippines is that of assisting the Filipinos to establish d national government, of withdrawing American forces when this is done, of holding only such military and naval stations as are necessary for American trade interests iu the far east. The opposite policy means continual war and the endless sacrifice of American blood and treasure. There is no get ting away from this truth. The sooner we act upon it consistently with Amer ican principles and the traditional American policy the better for our national welfare and glory.
 "While we are responsible for the government of the Philippines we must use the military arm and use it stern- ly. Dependence upon the voluntary submission of the population to Ameri- can civil control is visionary. Strict ness even to severity is wisdom and mercy, if we are to be masters of an alien people at all. But the true American policy cannot be tyranny even if the methods of tyranny is the wisest that can be devised.'"

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

The REVIEW makes the announce mept this morning with authority: of the ultimate removal of the Copper Queen company's smelters from Bisbee to Douglas. This bold announcement, in cold type, might be cause for alarm removal of the smelters shall have been accomplished, the Calumet and Arizona company will begin active operations, employing as many men, if not more, than the number who take their departure for Douglas on account of the removal of the smelters to that place.
 In and around the smelters are em- plsyed about eight hundred men. Of this number no less than three hundred are Mexican laborers. Before this army has departed, the South Bisbee and the Calumet and Arizona company will be employing twice that number.
 The commencement of work on the Calumet and Arizona smelters at Doug las and the acquiring of valuable mines adjoining their property in Bis bee is sufficient evidence that the Calumet and Arizona will shortly be working as many men as the Copper Queen.
 Instead of the announcement of the removal of the. smelters from Bisbee to Douglas being cause for alarm, Bis bee can rest secure in the knowledge that during the next eighteen months 1t will become the rival of all the min ing camps of the west in more ways than one.
 Bisbee's future then Is that of a min- ing town. An American population. Two thousand miners employed. Eight hours' work, s3.50 pay. That is the future of Bisbee.
 The removal of the smelters from Bisbee to Douglas eighteen months hence, will not affect Bisbee.
 There is no cause for alarm.

The HOrse Ration.

We have always fed oats and bran,
and continue to feed the same. We
believe that the price of other grain
has advanced in harmony with oats,
therefore, there could be no economy
in substituting other feeds i'm the place
of oats. In this State and in other corn
raising States the farmers feed prlnci-
pally corn to their horses, because it Is
cheaper than oats, and horses can be
kept more economically. Corn costs
more per bushel, but it goes very much
further, so that the same money in
vested in corn as in oats will last
longer. We do not feed corn because
we think oats much better. We mix
n little oilmeal with our bran and
oats. The horses do not like the oil
meal quite so well as they do the feed
without it, but after they become used
to eating it we think it is a good ration
TO mix with our other feed in small
quantities,-McLaughlin Brothers. in

BATTERIES OF WARsHlPs.
The Pennsylvania and Colorado Pack.
ed With Guns.

The descriptions of the two armorel
cruisers. the Pennsylvania and Colo
RADIO, now building at the Cramps
yards, bring out the fact that they
will be packed with guns. Each yes.
sci will carry &C pieces Of ordnance,
ranging in caliber from the S-inch,
breech-loading, high-powered rifle to
the 1-pounder Each vessel will
mount four S.inch and Is 6-inch guns.
which will constitute the main batter
les. The auxiliary armament Is
made is made up of Is 3-inch, IL D.
Founders, 1.pounders, 2 3-pounder
field guns, two machine guns and six
automatic pieces. Such an arma-
ment reveals a tendency to return to
the old method of giving a ship as
many guns as she could carry and
serve effectively. In the old days or
the sailing navy some OF the line'of
battle ships, notably the Pennsylvania,
carried as many as 1S0 guns. Very
few OF these pieces were of heavier
caliber than the so or 42-pounders.
The 6S.pounder was then regarded as
n very heavy caliber, and the larger
shell gun was supplied but sparingly.
A ship like the Pennsylvania OF the Old
days-she was burned at the Norfolk
navy yard in 1S61-required from 1000
to 200 men to perform the duties OF
seamen and artillerists. The broadside
weight Of metal thrown from ship
of this class was very light as com.
pared with one or her successors of
to-day, and the amount OF physical
labor required to produce this result
was enormous. The aggregate weight
of metal thrown by 25 42-pounders.
each of which was served by crew
of six or eight men, would not equal,
or more than equal, the weight OF one

The Siio In Summer.

Did any of our readers in the parts
of the country West where they We're
drought stricken last summer have q
silo full of silage to fail back uponi
If they did then they are in position
TO realize what 1t means to have such
a resource against drought and poor
pasture. If they did not, then they
should at once determine to be so pro-
vided another season. There is hardly
n season when during part nt least Of
the summer the silo will not prove n
valuable aid 10 the keeper of live
stock and in many sections the owners
of silos are fast coming TO the conclu
sion that the silo Is almost as valuable
in the summer as in the winter. We
have heretofore given our experience
i'm regard to the way silage keeps when
left alone.
We were about TO go TO work filling
the silos, and in one there were about
twenty-five tons left over from the
previous season. We We're going to
town, as many farmers do when 1t
would be better for them TO stay at
home. ana left orders for the silo to be
cleaned out ready to begin filling the
next day, When we returned In the
afternoon we found that twenty-five
tons of as good silage as we ever saw
had been piled out in the barnyard as
manure. Had we been at home and
seen its condition after the thin,
mouldy top was removed. that silage
would have been saved. We learned
then that the silage will keep If left
alone, and how long 1t will keep we
do not know, but we do know that If
there is any left over in the spring 1t
is best TO take care of 1t to tide over
summer droughts. Now, let all of
our readers put this in their pipes and
smoke over II, and resolve to have
some silage next summer and be inde-
pendent of dry weather,-Prairle
Farmer.
