ians what teachers institutes are for
members of that profession They aim
to furnish for the younger librarians

Democracy's Dead Load

From Philadelphia North American.
How much of Big Bill Deverys quaint
slang is his own and how much of it
is to be created to the reporters who
interview him and make good copy"
out of his rough-edged humor may
never De known, but in one way or
another the big fellow has become a
national Character" and as enter
tanning in his peculiar fashion as the
Philosopher of Archy Road Devery's
strong suit, as he would say, is char
acterizatiOn of persons whom he dis
likes or disagrees with, and he never
made a more palpable hit than when
he described Dave Hill as "a load for a
hearse." If the Democratic party at
tempts to carry that load to the White
House it Will march in a funeral process
sion to the music of a dirge.

PEACE IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Democratic PARTY chose to make
its FIGHT for recognition before the
people Of the country on thc Philip
pine issue. The fight began in Con-
gress and was preparatory to the late
campaign. No one imagined that they
would go TO the lengths that they did
in the endeavor TO create an issue. IL
would have been ludicrous had not the
very integrity of the government been
assailed. The army was denounced as
a lot Of butchers; every officer was
charged with the most horrible atroci-
ties; the President and his Cabinet
wme made participants in the horrible
plot to despoil the Philippines and
reduce the inhabitants to serfdom.
Here were newly-acquired posses
sions which had been devastated by
civil war; the people were unacquaint-
ed with modern governmental meth
DDS They ranged all the way from
savagery to civilization. Almost all
races helped to make UP the popula-
tion, and yet the Democrats chose the
part OF demanding for them immediate
independence They have submitted the
case to the American people, and the
answer is emphatic.
The Administration is upheld in It's
policy of reconstruction and education.
The good work Of establishing a sys-
tenn of public education will be contin-
ued. The Filipinos viii receive that
measure OF self-sovernment which
they show themselves entitled to exer-
else, and to go further would not be
a kindness.
Vive-GOvernor Wright, who is a
Southern Democrat, in late interview
gave a most encouraging story Of The
present situation. Mr.. Wright is quoted
as saying;
The developments following the in
auguration OF the civil government Of
the islands have been most satisfac-
tory. They now have civil government
almost everywhere, and the people
seem TO be learning it's advantages. The
system OF provincial and municipal
power government has worked well.
During the past three years there has
not been single defalcation and very
few thefts. The government is strictly
one Of civil service.
There lis a degree of peace and safety
In the Philippines now that was never
reached under the Spanish rule. The
Spaniards used to pay the brigands TO
keep the peace, but we have refused TO
continue this system. After the pass
age of the Philippines bill last year we
established the insular constahulary,
and we now have 5000 of these police.
We find that they are the best men for
business. and they have cleared the
provinces of lawbreakers with great
activity. The service is one which ap-
peals to the natives, for the police are
chosen from the tribes where they
must serve.
The future of the islands will be a
great one. What are needed most arc
"a roads, and those may be built soor
by American capital. There is a TRUNK
line ON the Island OF Luzon now under
consideration, and it's building will
help matters greatly.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER H. 1902
Mn INvoKE rHE LAW

The Judges OF our State courts have
neen engaged for the last week in can
vassing the votes of the several coun-
ties. They must have been informed Of
the terrible debauchary OF the voters
whose votes they canvassed. Possibly
such evidence as would warrant prose
cutions was not brought to their notice,
but they must be cognizant of the uni
versal admission Of the Wholesale pur-
chase Of votes. Now, it is very easy to
saw that nothing can be done until
someone is charged specifically with q
violation Of the law, and the judicial
mind may presume innocence till guilt
shall be proved. but under the judicial
dignity is the man, and the man must
know that a condition prevails which Is
a menace to cur institutions and which
Is an awful disgrace TO Delaware
Anyone who mingles with the people
is aware that it is a generally accepted
fact that In most OF the districts Ct the
state there were as many corrupted
voters as it was possible TO corrupt,
and that in Kent and Sussex counties
these represented almost one-half Of
The total vote cast
Our judges have shown themselves
to be fearless. ana impartial, and in
the face Of this shameless and whole
sale dcbauchery, we feel disposed TO
turn to them. In conjunction with
the Attorney General, cannot they find
way to secure such evidence as will
lead to the conviction of sufficient
number Of boodlers to act as a warm
ing? We feel certain that Il can he
done. for in every district we are in
formed that vote-huying was general
ana open.
II something is not done, 1t will be
worse two years from now. and in
that event there will be no use Of hold
ing an election. 1t is a chance for a
strong man, such a man as the Dis
trict-Attorney Of st. Louis. for in
stance. 1t is easier and pleasanter tC
shirk responsibility in such matters
but were the evidence sought for in
the proper manner, it would be forth
coming. Surely the arm Of the law can
not consent TO be paralyzed.
