Advices received at Washington in
dictate that the negotiations now be-
ing conducted at Rome by Governor
Taft are progressing at satisfactory
pace Confronted by the difficult pro-
blem of supplying priests to minister
to the large number of members of his
church, when the friars shall have
left the islands, the Pope desired to
retain there all of those against whom
no charge of malfeasance in Office had
been brought but Governor Taft, be-
lieving it to be necessary as proof
to the Filipinos that there will be no
and state, and as further evidence
that the present government is in no
way in sympathy with the hated Span
ish domination with which the friars
were associated, has advised the Pope
that it will be necessary that all
those friars who have left their par
ishes and all those in the city of Man
liza shall be removed from the islands.
The entire reasonableness with which
the Vatican has received the represen-
tations heretofore made by Governor
Taft warrants the assumption that
ultimately the negotiations will end
in a manner satisfactory to all con-
cerned. The purchase of the friars'
lands and their being opened up to
settlement will mark the beginning
of an era of small land holdings in
the Philippines which ought to result
as benefcially as did the passage of
the homestead law in the United
States.

priesthood. Juarez, the great re-
deemer of Mexico, the precursor of
Diaz whose follower the present rul-
er of the republic was, solved the
problem confronting him, not by ne
gotiating at Rome, but by taking pos
session of the lands, mines and other
properties, opening them up to sale
and occupation and restricting the
functions of the church establishments
to their proper sphere. Thus an emp
ty treasury was filled and the broad
foundation laid for an enduring re-
public one in which the people are
directly interested as the owners of
its territories, it's homes and estates.
In the Philippines a state of things
exists similar to the Mexican situa-
ton when Juarez came to the rescue
of his country. But the United States
is proposing not to possess the prop
erty of the religious orders there by
force and without recompense. 1t
asks to buy the lands and other posses
sions of the Spanish friars and pay
for them at fair valuation But the
good of the country demands that the
friars shall depart-to Spain or else
where. Their rapacity has long made
them obnoxious to the inhabitants.
They are obstacles in the way of the
pacifcation of the country. The gov
eminent can take their lands and pay
for them. 1t can forcibly expel the
members of the orders, but it prefers
to arrange for the settlement of this
delicate and difficult matter with the
Pope, to bring about peaceably the re-
lease of the lands and the departure
of their former holders Hence, unlike
the rugged savior of Mexico, the Pres
ident of the United States, in the per-
son of the civil governor of the Pilip-
pines, goes to Rome to negotiate for
the removal of this obstacle to the in
PRODUCTION of republican methods of
government into the possessions of
the United States. 1t is desired, and
in the end it must come, to put church
and state in the Philippines on to
the same basis, into the same relation
to each other,a as they are in the States
of the Union. This is right and just.
Right and justice must prevail.

The Messenger believes it is mis-
take to assume, as some of our pro-
hibition friends are now doing, that
a local option high-license law must
necessarily license the open saloon
The Messenger does not want to see
the open saloon established in Yer
mont and it believes the great major
ity of thoughtful anti prohibitionists
do not want it =, either. 1t is possible
to frame law that will meet the re-
quirements of rural State like Yer
mont without licensing the saloon
Let us have such law framed this
fall and submitted to the people. -
ST. Adams Messenger.
Does the Messenger believe that
the high license advocates who are
doing the strenuous these days are
fighting for anything short of a law
which will allow saloons in the State ?
1t says it does not want to see "open"
saloon. What kind of a saloon does it
think will fit the Vermont idea? ?"
And what are "the requirements of
a rural State like Vermont ?"The con-
temporary ought to submit draft of
such law as it thinks Vermonters
could get drunk under to the best ad-
vantage. The Messenger is fertile in
eXpedients 1t has the opportunity of
a life time to exhibit its capacity for
constructive craftsmanship.

WHY HAS CLEMENT BoLTED?

Reviewing the incidents of Glenn
ent's campaign for the governorship,
the Vergennes Enterprise asks, "Why
has Clement bolted, and answers:
First, because he failed utterly in
his attempt to buldoze the State CON
vention. That body of Republicans,
led by the calm clear sighted John
W. Stewart of Middlebury, dealt with
the Clement element in q rarely saga
cious manner They were not allowed
to dictate; they were not permitted
to force and hurry matters they were
treated simply and solely as 221 Re-
publican delegates with 221 Republi-
can votes they were not enabled to
nominate their candidate. Conse.
quently they arose in dudgeon and
left the convention hall.
Second, Clement is boiling because
he is a hard loser. He is type of man
who can see but one side of ques-
ton, but one ultimate object in view.
At this time we fear that he simply
wants to be Governor of Vermont at
any cost. His war cry of local option
has failed him. His declaration "Prin-
ciple, not Clement" has been taken at
its face value He has not received
the nomination which now appears to
have been his sole underlying motive.
Therefore, like q defeated guerilla
fighter, he turns upon those who have
made possible his present Importance
and declares irregular warfare.
The Enterprise concludes that
"there can be only one result. Glenn
ent will be defeated and General Nc
Cullough will be the next Governor. "
1.-The Bolter Clement will receive
from the voters of Vermont such a
rebuke, such singing chastisement,
as will forever set the party's disap-
proving seal on minority republican
ism The platform embodied in
proper firm the growing demand for
the reference of the fundamental ques-
ton of temperance legislation to the
people for their decision, and for an
effective law regulating nominations
of public officers at the primaries, at
caucuses and conventions. McCul-
Tough is 'pre eminently the choice of
the majority of Vermont Republi-
cans. These considerations make
for the triumph Of Mccullough, of law
and order.

Tomorrow! Oh, Tomorrow's
The day that | like best;
For though my sunsets clou1ed
It's golden farther west.
Observe the little sparrow,
Throughout the dark To-day
She sings of her Tomorrow
And the egg she's going to lay.
! hear sad soul signing
To leave "this vale of tear"
But make no doubt he's lying
About hundred years.
And feel no tinge of sorrow
When his ship puts to sea;
The ship that sails Tomorrow
Sails soon enough for me.
For though my suns declining
Beyond yon hoary hill,
know that it is shining
Beyond the summit still;
And howsoe'er | sorrow
know twill pass away
God gives a glad Tomorrow
For every sad Today.

The Herald of Rutland, the proper
ty and the organ of the chief of re-
pudlators, is whining, not because
here and there some natural difference
of opinion is expressed as to the wis.
dom or policy of the referendum plank
in the platform adopted by the Re-
publican State convention, but be-
cause, III fact, the referendum has
been so generally and heartily accept
ed by the temperance people of Yer
mont of all shades of belief as to re-
strictive legislation. That is in fact
the explanation of the Herald's thin
ly disguised efforts to emulate the ex-
ample of Mark Tapley and be cheer
full over the situation it and its aspir-
ant for the governorship is up against.

turns the small end of its glass-op-

high, low or local option, who are
standing by the convention, but the
magnifier is turned on any ultra"

victions and he becomes an army. The

of a political revolution this summer,
but the State is likely to warm up to
the stern reality as it never has be-
fore if it is found next October that
the good faith of the prohibition
Republicans in their party's pledge
and platform has been betrayed.
The contemporary apprehensions
about the political history of Vermont
and the Republican party are entirely
misplaced. Both will survive long
after Clement raid and its brood of
auxiliary boosts are forgotten. What
should engage the Messengers solicit
tude are entirely different matters.
More serious things than chipmunks
and owls may arouse its fears. Ex-
tremes meet on both sides the tenn
perance issue-the Morrows in the pro-
hibition forces and the Messengers in
the rum ranks. The judicious friends
of license are more grieved by the an
tics of the contemporary and its allies
than by the radical "prohibs,h and
they fear them more. There are sincere
believers III license among strictly tenn
perate men, and Republicans among
these men fear for the just considera-
ton of their views in the coming cleo
ton and hereafter because of the
course of the extremists on their own
side, from Clement down-or up.
Their sole hope of securing for high
license fair hearing is in abiding, in
good faith, by the strict letter and
spirit of the conclusions of the late
convention. To swing off from that
decision is to hazard their cause. And
this is true of sincere friends of wise
temperance legislation, whether H.
cense men or "prohibs.
The Messengers fear of mortal dan
ger to the welfare of its beloved Yer.
mont-of which it becomes extreme
ly solicitous and over which it sheds
briney floods when it is up against a
political wall-in the visions of bad
faith of prohibitionists it is conjuring
up, is simply matter for derisive
smile. Its fearful solicitude is pure
ly galvanic. 1t turns on the current

THE BABY'S EYES.

Protection of the eyes is question
of great importance for mothers and
nurses. The eyes of newborn infants
should be carefully washed with fresh
clear water, and if anything unusual
is noticed the physician should be
seen. The infants eyes are special
ly to be protected against too bright
light. 1t is by no means an uncom-
mon thing to see a nurse wheeling
young infant in the carriage while
the bright sun is pouring into the
child's eyes This does not argue
against taking infants into the sun
when the weather is not too warm,
but the eyes should always be protect
ed against the bright glare, whether
direct or reflected. Boston Journal
