which foryets the Declaration and its

new patriotism summons us to carry
our flag by force of arms into far
distant islands and to build an empire
founded on military force and com
mercial greed But is not tllis asking
us to turn our backs on all that Amer

not to join in the very oppression and
robbery of weaker nations which here

against the furnishing of it's splendid

But to keep an army Of 10000 or
10000 American citizens in Asia to

and wicked.
Il am deeply impressed with the
fact Oh which President Sclurman also
lays stress, that we have never yet
told the people of the Philippines what
we want of them. We have made war
upon them for four years; we have
killed thousands of them. burned their
villages, put them to torture by hun

, we would let them have peace; nor
have we ever permitted them, though
they made the effort. to lay before us
any terms on which the war might be

The Pc assion Play,

AS is well known, Archbishop Bru-
chrsi. of Montreal. Canada. has openly
protested against the performance Of
the Passion Play in the tlleaters Of
that city and has warned all Catholic
Christians not to attend such perform
anccs, if brought upon the stage. The
archbishop rightly sees in such per-
formanccs by professional actors (vcry
frequently persons of doubtful charac-
teri Il descclation Of the holy which
must he offensive to every true Catholic
feeling, and the mere so, if the actors
as is often the case, are non Christians
or even inlidcls. The archbishop, of
course, does in no way object to the
play as such, if given by good Catholic
Christians, and if its religious charac-
ter is not marred thereby. 1t is, then
of great interest to learn that a gOOl
Catholic company does exist, which has
the full endorsement of His Emincncc
Cardinal Gibbons and a great number
of archbishops, bishops, and the clergy
in general. 1t is the company of DR.
John II. Scherer, Of La Crosse, Wis.
and Professor w. \. I<ilrain, OF
Cleveland, Ohio, two Catholic gentle
men Of culture, who have given this
play in thirty-ninc Catholic churches o,

Now as l have said there is no dis
pute that these things We're done in
the island of Samar Let me quote
from the record on this point. On
| April % there came a cable despatch
from Manila, from which I will read
you an extract:
''The trial by court martial of Cen
eral Jacob H. Smith began today.
General Lloyd Wheaton presided.
Colonel Charles \. Woodruff, counsel
for the defense. said he desired to
! simplify the proceedings. He was
willing to admit that General Smith
gave instructions to Major Waller to
kill and burn and make Samar 4
bowling wilderness; that he wanted
everybody killed capable of bearing
arms, and that he did specify all boys
over ten years Of age"
There you have it squarely admitted
that General Smith directed the general
desolation of that province, the burn
ing of it's homes, and the killing, with
out quarter, Of all it's male population
from ten years Of age upwards. These
are facts beyond controversy. Attempts
may be made, and are being made, to
excuse and even defend them-but at
least they cannot be denied.
Now listen to what President Schur-
man, of Cornell university, who was
president Of the first Philippine COM
mission sent out by President MciNin-
ley, says of the people of Samar and
Batangas:
"These people, remember, are not
savages. or 'injuns' or barharians. They
are civilized Christians. . 1t is
here that some of our military author
tiles have practised Weyler's system
of recommendation, res rtcd to oriental
methods Of torture, turned happy
homes into a bowling wilderness. ana
not only killed non-combatants, but
murdered boys over ten years of age

mitted facts. because its spirit is en-
tirely just l believe this meeting will
echo and endorse it. President Schur-
man says:

already been admitted to leave any
hope Of apprcciable abatement of the
horror and the anguish which have
wrung the hearts of the American
people. l remember (alas, the pity of
it3 at the beginning of hostilities in
the Philippines, seeing cities where
thousands of people dwelt together in
peace and prosperity utterly destroyed.
Some Americans at least have been
guilty of conduct which evokes the
horror and detestation of mankind.
) But if our cheeks burn with patriotic
shame and our hearts quiver with
moral indignation, let the bolt strike
not only the unhappy individuals but
the system and policy of which they
!: have been the victims"
agree with President Schurman
that it is time to ask this question:
What. l ask, do you want in the
Philippines? More particularly, why
in any part of LuZOn and the Visayan
Islands are you making bowling will

Keep Young.

The middle-aged woman needs to
keep a sharp lookout upon herself.
There is danger of standing still
mentally, of leaning at thirty or for
ty upon very brittle opinions and
ideas formed at twenty years of age.
Too many girls stop short in their
education when they leave school.
Life is one long course of education.
1t is never wise to adopt the notion
that che can stop learning. Every
day has its lessons.
Men stay young" longer than wo-
men. Perhaps it is because a man
twenty-one years old knows that he
knows nothing, in the worlds opinion
anyway. He is just preparing to run
a race over a course untried by his
feet, though trodden by millions of
others. Tie steadies himself, looks
about him, and reflects that if he is
to keep in the race he must have his
eyes wide open all the time, and learn
how to run as he goes.
The young oma usually consld-
ers that with her college diploma in
hand mental application
and effort come to an end. With the
young man school and college are
preparations only for the activities
and achievements of maturity. The
phenomenally brilliant undergrad
uate is seldom heard of again-man
or woman. 90 early development is
not a favorable augury. The great
school is the school of life, with a
course of study covering three-score
years and ten. 1t is those who are
recognized forces during the last
half of this schooling who are of &C
count in the world.-September Wo-

If you keep some plants over the
winter, put them in the cellar and
keep them moderately dry. This is
their resting time; therefore, do not
water them too much, but, on the
other hand, do not let them get

these plants start into lively growth,

worth while to set out the old plants
in the garden. The cuttings will
give you better bloom, as a rule.
Any one can raise good chrysan-
themum plants from cuttings at
home. Chrysanthemum cuttings are
almost as easy to strike as gerani-
ums. However, you would better use
clean sand instead of soil. When
the cuttings are rooted, plant them
in two-inch pots later shift them to
threes and then to tours. For the
best results two more shifts are de-
sirable. You will probably get bet
ter results by, keeping the plants in
pots all the time, instead of letting
them grow freely in the garden

,cHRYsANTHEMUM GROWING
Some Timely Suggestions for the Home
Window Garden.

The hardy or outdoor chrysanthe-
NUNS do not appeal to everybody.
Still less do the old-fashioned "but-
tons" or Chinese varieties, with
flowers only half an inch across.
For most people these are "too
small" or "too easy" On the other
hand, it is impracticable to raise
huge exhibition flowers in the home
window; and even if n could, it
not be worth the while. A
nanthemum eight inches or a
.beeross is too much like cabbage.
AS a rule, a japanese chrysanthe-
mum is at its best when it's flower
measures six inches across. Two
inches either way from this opti-
mum, such distinct types as Iora
and Good Gracious tend to lose their
character. They might as well be
any other variety of the same color,
because their individuality vanishes.
A fve-inch flower is a good ideal for
the amateur when he desires a few
single-stemmed plants. But for solid
satisfaction there is nothing like a
group Of bushy little plants in six
inch pots, each plant having ten or
a dozen flowers averaging four inches
in diameter. How they brighten the
dining-room on dark November days,
and what a CHEEKY message they
fling to the friendly passer-by!
Now is the best time in the year
to select the varieties. Nobody's
judgment in such a matter is as good
as yours. You know what colors you
hke-what sizes and shapes. Re
member that eleven blank months
devoid Of chrysanthemums are COM
ing, and do not trust to others to
prescribe for you. Look about for
some of the less common types-the
single forms-Mizpah, for instance,
winch makes charming pot-plants,
covered with a hundred or more
daIsy-Iike flowers in various colors.
Try some of the three
types-the pompon-anemone, large
lowered and Japanese-their high
centers are always quaint and full
OF interest. The large Chinese and
the Japanese incurred sections, with
their compact globular blossoms, are

Killing People by Brutal Truths

Many people are killed by brutal
truths. Some physicians are so con-
scientious and so tactless = that
they think they must tell patients the
whole truth when they believe they
cannot recover, instead of giving
them the benefit of the doubt, Tor
every physician knows that, nearly
always. there is doubt which way
the case will turn. Cheerful encour-
agement has saved many life by
helping 1t to pass crisis favorably,
when the actual truth might have
killed the patient or reduced the raj
lying powers to the danger point. In
all the affairs Of life, cruel bluntness
in stating brutal facts has caused un-
told misery and broken many friend
ships. Truth itself changes from n
jewel to dangerous weapon in the
hands OF a tnctless person. Because
a thing is true is no reason it should
be told, or told in way TO offend.
He who would have many and strong
friends must exercise tact in order
rot to offend even by the truth, be-
cause it is very difficult for many
people to forget even fancied injury
entirely. This is especially trne Of
offenses against taste, or speeches
which reflect upon ones pride, ability
or capacity.-May Success.
