THE BOY WHO RUNS AWAY.

Hardly day passes but that from some
home In the city or State a boy is reported
missing. AS often not he is boy who
has had pleasant home relations and has
no cause that any outside observer can dis
cover for running away Sometimes he
comes home of his own accord when he
finds that the world into which he has pen
etrated is a cold place; sometimes he is dis
covered and brought back by his distracted
for years. Eventually. however. he is pref
ty sure to come back in search of the fam
lily he deserted. The question forever being
raised In connection with such boys relates
to the lack of feeling they show for their
parents. Those who speculate concerning
their movements understand that 1t is the
nature OF youth to yearn for the unknown
and 10 look forward so anxiously TO the
time when they may discover the mysteries
beyond the home horizon that sometimes
they cannot wait, but take their freedom
prematurely; 1t is not the wonder that they
go, but that they are so needless of their
mothers and fathers that causes bewilder-
ment 10 their elders. And yet there Is no
mystery about it. 1t is simply that the boy
who runs away is an undeveloped creature:
he is not necessarily bad in any sense, but
has simply net acquired all the mental quail
tiles that will come to him in later life He
lacks sympathy. for one thing. In the
whrl OF new sensations. when he finds him
self free. he does not miss his mother great
iy and it does not occur to his needless,
half-grown soul that she is breaking her
heart over his unexplained absence Prob
ably most boys who disappear In this way
lack imagination; they are unable to
project themselves into the minds Of others.

HAVE PLENTY OF PESOS
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS NOW WELL
SUPPLIED WITH CURRENCY.
Governor Taft Advises Against Pur-
chase of More Silver, and Coinage
Will Soon BE stopped.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the Bureau of Insular
Affairs of the War Department, who has
been managing in this country the finances
of the Philippine government and carrying
out the act of the last Congress for sup
plying the Philippines with currency. re-
Gently cabled the Philippine commission
that there should now be in the islands
1899, $50 pesos and that the amount yet
to be coined and shipped amounted to
100000 more. this amount being at the
minis or contracted for. A reply has been
received from the commission stating that
the amount of coin now in the Philippines,
together with some 100000 pesos in paper
money, to be increased to 100000, to which
should be added from 100000 to 100000
pesos in Spanish coin, would be sufficient,
and advising against the purchase of any
more bullion for the purpose or coming
Philippine pesos. This action has been
taken by the insular bureau and no more
silver will be purchased further than what
is necessary to fulfill the existing stipula-
tons with minis.
1t is probable that the Philippine commits
sion will demonetize Mexican dollars on
Jan. /, 1904. but at the rate Mexicans are
now leaving the islands Ii appears that such
action will have very little effect. For the
first nine days of Oct. $4,000 Mexican dol
lars have been exported from the islands
and none has been imported. The Philip
pine commission will take steps to get into
the Philippine treasury by Jan. / all the
Spanish coins in circulation, the intention
being to issue the new Philippine pesos in
their stead.
A cablegram received to-day from Gov
ernor Taft stated that the buying rate OF
gold at Manila was 2-1S and the selling rate
30 this in Mexican, it is supposed. A
prominent representative of Philippine
banking interests estimates that there Is no
more than four million Mexican dollars in
the islands at the present time. The Lon
don parity of silver to-day was 2Sd equal to
81. % cents per ounce here The purchases
for the further coinage OF Philippine pesos
will be about four or FIVE hundred thousand
ounces. 1t is intended to coin the Spanish
coins when accumulated in the Philippine
treasury into Philippine pesos.
1t is said that the amount OF new cur
rency now in the islands, together with
the Spanish coins and the United States
currency is sufficient for the business OF the

to his affidavit to that effect, it did not

CONCERNING THINGS.

The following paragraph. from long
editorial published in yesterdays issue of
the News. affords evidence that If the
strenuous campaign had lasted few days
longer there would have been a genuine
case of hysteria and nervous collapse on
the part OF our esteemed contemporary:
The Journal has not heretofore been
backward in condemning crime. Even the
snap convention was enough 10 rouse IL TO
protest. But now that IL is face to face
with this crime committed by some one in
the interest OF its candidate. il stands mute.
What does IL all mean? Do the Organ and
the Gang, by their silence, intend people 20
believe That they approve the crime?
The crime referred to was a letter pur-
porting TO have been written by James L.
Reach. chairman OF the Democratic city
committee. explaining his party record.

EFFECTS OF BRITISH PREFEREN-


The Journals Washington correspondent
tive bodies Of the British colonies in South
Africa, comprising the South African Gus
toms Union, have now ratified the recon-
mendation of preferential tariff, giving a
rebate of 20 per cent. of the duties levied on
goods from the United Kingdom. This is
not quite SO bad as the Canadian preference
of one-third the whole duty, given to goods
of English manufacture. but it will doubt
less have even a more depressing effect
than the Canadian preference has had, for
there are some lines in which we have lit
tie or no English competition in Canada,
tition with England on everything we
sell.
In Canada the preferential tariff did not
stop American importations, but it stopped
their growth. Our exports to Canada have
been stationary since 1897, while i'm
and the Canadian imports from the United
Kingdom have almost doubled in six years.
The American manufacturer of heavy iron
products finds himself practically shut out
of the Canadian market by the combna-
tion of the British preferential tariff and
cheap water transportation from England.
In South Africa, though the preference
is only one-fifth, instead of one-third, the
chances are that we shall fare even worse
Since 1898 our exports to South Africa have
grown from $4.Oo0.OO0 to $4,000, OO0-a very
respectable item in making up the grand
| total of our exports. This trade we have
| won in some measure on our superiority
in agricultural implements and heavy Lin

English manufacturers are now doing quite
as good work at the same or less cost than
Americans, and, with cheaper and sureI
transportation and preferential tariff, il
seems practically certain that they will

Yesterdays ELECTION.

At 2:3O o'clock this morning the returns
indicated the election Of Mr.. Hoffman
to the mayoralty by a plurality approx
mating 1000. 1t is possible that the re-
mainder of the Republican ticket is elected
and that a majority of the Council will
be of that political faith.
The defeat of Mr.. Bookwalter will be a
severe disappointment to Republicans who
stood faithfully by their party. but it is
not much of a surprise. 1t was apparent
from the beginning of the campaign that
the Democrats were making an aggressive
fight, with the advantage of considerable
disaffection among Republicans. While
walters administration were untrue, it
cannot be denied that some things had
been done which handicapped the party.
The early primaries and the so-called
snap convention of last spring caused a
degree of dissatisfaction among Republic
cans that made it difficult to explain or de-
fend other mistakes. The Journal en-
deavored to break the force of these mis-
takes, but their influence continued to be
felt. Many Republicans voted against Mr..
Bookwalter in order. as they expressed it.
to rebuke the party managers without
stopping to weigh the possible effect OF
putting a Democratic administration in
power. Mr. Bookwalter's first admins
tration was nothing like as bad as his
enemies represented, and the Journal be-
lieves that If he had been reelected his
second one would have been distinct inn
provement on the first and would have
fully indicated the expectations of his
loyal Republican supporters. BY failing
fully to meet public expectations in his
first administration he threw away a
great opportunity, and has paid dearly fol
it., Under ordinary circumstances nc
Democrat could have been elected mayor

SOCIALISM NOT PRACTICABLE.


Gunton's Magazine
Perhaps the word socialism sums up
or includes more Of the ''isms'' and doc
trines of Tom johnson than could be ex-
pressed by any other single word. He be-
lieves in many other things-single tax.
antitrust, free silver, etc.-but most OF
his doctrines now troop under the flag OF
socialism, which has rallied all the groups
and factions that advocate political and
economic vagaries, with the hope that any
blow at established prosperity and the ex-
listing order must ultimately help their own
purposes. Socialism, OF course, has the
same hope, and the service of every faction
of malcontents is eagerly enlisted. In or
der that, upon the ruins OF present society,
there may be established the social state"
Socialism is founded chiefly upon the theory
that all wealth is produced by labor, and
consequently in equity, all wealth belongs
worker, ii concludes that all wealth belongs
to the wage classes, and that all other
classes are but so much parasitic growth.
consequently, they come to the conclusion
bery-committed against labor. This Is
an entire mistake. IL is an error at the
very basis OF the Socialist system or
thought Time was when labor did pro-
duce wealth and then there was very little
wealth produced. Whatever was produced
under savagery was purely by hand labor.
and then il was true to say that labor pro-
duced IL all. 1t is also true TO say that In
that stage OF society labor got IL oil. There
were no capitalists TO take IL from them.
And Ii is further true that not only did
labor produce IL all and get II all, but IL
produced less and got less than In any
time Of the worlds history. In other
words. when IL produced IL all and had IL
all ii received the least IL ever did. When

THAT "FORGERY.o

That Reach forgery is a very mystic
rious bit of business. So far as the Journal
knows. Mr.. Reach was the first to discover
that the forged letter was in existence
The Journal was apprised of it Monday
evening, Oct. II, by Mr.. Reach and his
attorney, who furnished this paper with a
certified copy of Mr.. Keach's affidavit for
davit was executed Saturday, Oct. 10, as
the original copy in possession of this
paper shows; and confederation is had in
the fact that the other morning papers
yesterday, and the handbills got out by
Mr.. Keach's committee show the same
date.
Thus 1t would appear that Mr.. Reach
was aware of this awful crime On Satur-
day, but did not make his discovery known
until Monday evening. when he suddenly
broke loose with it, advertised it in all the
newspapers and with handbills, awakened
the postmaster to get the forged" letters
back from the mails, and all that. And
then those hysterical editorials in the
Democratic organs yesterday Can it be
possible that they were merely a part of
Mr.. Keach's astute little game, which
seems to have been spoiled by that stupid
little blunder about the date? Perish the
thought!
Since Mr.. Reach was so anxious to have
the government detectives look into the
matter, it is sincerely to be hoped that
thew will run II down and find out NOT only
whether or not Mr.. Reach got out the
letter himself, but whether there were 9TH
ers mixed up in the fraud.

A pulpit attack against women's clubs.
which was recently delivered by a Chicago
preacher, started spirited discussion of
the question pro and con. The first of the
city preachers to pronounce in favor Of
women's clubs is Rev. DIR. Rondthaler, for
merry pastor of Tabernacle Church, in this
city In an address on Social Service in
Neighborhood Life he said:
In many directions there is opportunity
for social service activity. In the great COM
mon school system, in parents clubs, in lit
erary societies, in womens clubs, in the
endowments of universities and colleges, the
building of libraries, the collecting of ex-
hibits for museums, and all organizations
for mutual Improvement along mental, So
cial, spiritual or physical lines. This great
impulse is awaking the public conscience
Just now to do something for the improve
ment of the world, something against the
injustice of things, something against man $
inhumanity to man. The law of mutual aid
is crossing the law of the survival of the fit
test. BY these efforts we may make fit
many that are now unfit.
BY thus ranking women's clubs among the
modern factors of social progress DR.. Rond-
thaler has won a high place in the esteem
of Chicago club women.

BLOW AT FAITH CURE
CONVICTION OF A NEW YORK CHRIS
TIAN SCIENTIST AFFIRMED.
Court of Appeals Says the Law Was
Violated by a Man Whose Child
Died for Lack of Medicine.

ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. 13.-Especial inter-
est attaches to the decision handed down
to-day by the Court of Appeals in the case
of the People VS.. Pierson, declaring depend
ence upon faith healing in the case OF sick
ness to be criminal negligence.
Pierson lives at White Plains, and early
in 1901 was sentenced to $500 fine or 500 days
Imprisonment for criminal neglect in fall
ing to provide licensed physician to at
tend his sixteen-months-old adopted daugh-
ter in case of bronchial pneumonia which
afterward proved fatal. The conviction
was secured under the penal code, which
holds that a person who omits without law
full excuse to perform duty by law i'm
posed by law upon him to furnish food.
clothing, shelter medical attendance to a
minor is guilty. etc.
Justice Bartlett, in the prevailing opinion
of the appellate division. held that the
medical attendance" referred to in the
statute, does not mean exclusively the at
tendance of a medical practitioner in the
general sense of the term. The appellate
division reversed the conviction.
In it's opinion written by Judge Halgnt,
the Court of Appeals says: 1T would
seem that the legislative intent is reason
ably clear, although possibly more precise
language could have been employed: The
section of the code under which the in
indictment was found contemplates that
there are persons upon whom the law casts
a duty of caring for minors We are aware
that there people who believe that the
| Divine power may be invoked to heal the
| sick and that faith is all that Is required
| There are others who believe that the

The Republican Independents protested
from start to finish of the campaign that
they were none the less Republicans be-
cause opposed to the party nominee in the
local campaign, and there is no reason to
believe otherwise. A party is not close
corporation. 1t stands for certain princi-
pies, mainly related to national policies.
cipal elections is because it offers practi-
cally a ready-made working organization.
On purely theoretical basis there would be
no reason whatever for the liberation of
national political parties in matters of purely
local concern. but practically there is the
best reason existing in the customs Of
the people and their habits of thought. 1t
is the part of common sense to take things
as they are and not to dream about how,
in our opinion, they ought to be-and then
ments at hand. And since the people are
in the habit Of conducting local government
through party organizations founded on ma
tional policies, it Is the part Of wisdom and
good sense to seek the best possible results
through the agency of party. Taken by
and large. the Republican party in In
dianapolis offers the best possible opportu-
nifty for permanent good government and
1t is through it that the hope of permanent
reform must lie. The good men, with good
purposes, are an overwhelming majority in
this party, and they can control it for the
nomination of good men and the Inaugural
fore, believes it unwise to try to get reform
by straying off to another party, but it has
no club in reserve for those Republicans
that took different course in this cam
paign, and hopes to see them next yeal
working within the party ranks as usual.
