PHILIPPINE PROGRESS.
which Gives the Anti-Im- =
perinIists ~ Severe
Setback.

This dispatch from San Francisco
names good reading, says the Washing
! ton Star:
Dean c. Worcester, Philippine commits
! Siouer. one Of the men intrusted with the
/ task of establishing civil government In
/ the islands has arrived here on his way
home to Thetford. VT. He reports That the
/ terrible cattle pest has been stamped out,
/ that cholera and bubonic plague have been
/ effectively dealt with, that the insular gov
I ernment is making permanent improve
ments and defraying all its expenses on the
/ proceeds OF a reduced import customs duty,
and that the land tax is solving the prob
/ lem Of revenues for provincial and munlcl-
pal government"
The anti-imperialists may tell us that
this man is simply singing his own
praises. Not unlikely they will accuse
I him of seeing the things he speaks OF in
too rosy light. They are extremely re-
luctant to accept any representation of
the condition of affairs in the Philip
pines which does not square with their
predictions that American occupation
would become intOerable and disastrous
to the natives and end in failure and
disgrace for ourselves. They have at
no time shown any patience with state
ments proceeding from any source which
told of progress and record creditable
to the American authorities.
And yet we may receive without ques-
ton this report of Prof Worcester. His
word alone would carry it. But there
are many things to support it. Plague,
pestilence and famine have been tackled
with resolution and system, and sue
cessfully dealt with. Improvements
have been made. The revenues have
been honestly collected and applied to
the public benefit AS a result the peo-
pie as a rule are contented, and the
more they see of it the better they like
the working of American sovereignty.
We have accomplished in something like
four years what our critics both at home
and abroad declared we could never ac-
complish, and we are now on firm
basis
The question. however, is still pro-
pounded. Why not fix day for with
drawal and for handing over the archi-
pelago to the Filipinos? AS matter
of fact. successful as we have been, we
have but begun our task. The Filipinos
are but beginning to learn what govern
ment is which has a care for all the peo-
pie They may be quick enough, but
there are many valuable lessons for
them still to learn. And it may turn
Quit is easily within the range Of
probability, indeed-that as we perfect
our plans there. and demonstrate our
capacity to develop the country, an at
tachment of the people for sovereignty
stronger than they themselves could
hope to set up may make a suggestion
of withdrawal as unwelcome to them
as prejudicial to their interests. Wait
a little.

Fort Plain, y. Y, Aug. l2-Henry
F. SpauIding, aged about A. years, an
expert automobilist from West Or
ange, n. j., rode to his death four
miles east of this village Tuesday af-
ternoon. He was on the towpath OF
the Erie canal. Owing to the muddy
condition of the path and while turn
ing out for a lineman's rig, his auto
swerved more than he intended and
man and machine plunged into the
water. Two linemen rushed to aid
Spaulding, but in their excitement let
go entirely of a rope, one end of
which they had thrown to the drown
ing man. One of them then FASTENED
to Spraker, a hamlet nearby, for as
sistance, but by the time help arrived
Spaulding had gone down for the
last time. The body was recovered
badly entangled in the rope which
had been thrown to him. The ma
chine, uninjured and with the brakes
set. was also recovered.

UNPLEASANT TO THINK OF.
DiTerenc" Between the Condition of
Things In 1898 and at the
Present Time.

Ten years ago, on one Of the closing
days of July, the comptroller of the cur
rency reported that 105 banks in the
United States had closed their doors
since the beginning of the year. The
name of that official was James H. Eek
els. The name of the president was
Grover Cleveland. 1t was the first year
of Cleyeland's second term. The demo-
Gratis were in control of the entire gov
ernment Of the United States. That was
the first time. says the St Louis Globe
Democrat that they had had the presi-
dent and a majority in each branch
Of congress simultaneously since 1851
SO, in the first half of the presidency Of
James Buchanan.
The difference between the conditions
now and ten years ago is so marked that
the wayfaring man, though fool, can
see it. There had been a few bank sus-
pensions in 1893 just previous to the
entrance of the democratic party into
power on March 4, but four or five times
as many took place in the same length
Of time afterward il that year. The ad-
verse effects of the democratic victory
of November, 1892, began to be felt long
before that party had a chance to enter
office. The crash. however, did not come
until after the change of occupants of
the white house took place. The panic
of 1898 dates from April Of that year,
four or five weeks after the republicans
went out of Office and the democrats
went in.
The silver dilutiOn of the currency was
partly responsible for the panic of 1893.
The folly Of the Bland act of 1878 and
the Sherman law of $50 helped to bring
on the smash-up. The fear of a raid on
the tariff when the democrats got to
work did the rest. The raid was not
consummated until the summer of 1894,
year and third after Cleveland en-
tered office but the menace of the raid
was present from the moment that the
news of the democratic victory was
flashed over the country on the night of
November s. 1892. The little furry on
Wall street at present is as a zephyr TO
a tornado in comparison with the crash
of ten years ago The memory of the
financial convulsiOn which attended the
accession of the democracy into power
in 1893 is something which the country
will bear in mind in 1903 and 1904.

POWERS DEFINED.
Secretary Root Explains Duties
of New Army Officers.
Tse Says the Chief of STAFF Mast he In
Accord with the President and
Secretary Of War-When this
Is Not the Case It will be
IIis Duty TO Resign.


His Duty 60 Resign.
Washington, Aug, 15.-Secretary
Root today will promulgate an order
defining the duties OF the general
staff of the army, which under the
law goes into effect today. The most
important feature of the order is that
in relation to the selection and duty
of the chief of staff. On this point
the secretary says:
"Undcr the act of February IA,
1908, the command of the army of the
United States rests with the consti-
tutional commander-in-ch the
president. The president will place
parts of the army, and separate ar
mics whenever constituted, under
commanders subordinate to his gen
eral command, and in case of eNigcn-
cy seeming to him to require it he
may place the whole army under Il
single commander subordinate to
him; but in time of peace and under
ordinary conditions the administra-
ton and control of the army are eff
fected without any second in com
mand.
"rhe presidents command is exer-
ciSed through the secretary of war
and the chief of staff. The secretary
of war is charged with carrying out
the policies of the president in mill
tary affairs. He directly represents
the president and is bound always to
act in conformity to tn" presidents
instructions. Under the law and the
decisions of the supreme court his
acts are the presidents acts, and his
directions and orders are the presi-
dents directions and orders.
The chief of staff reports to the
secretary of war, acts as his military
adviser, receives from him the direc-
tions and orders given in behalf of
the president and gives effect thereto
in the manner hereinafter provided.
"EXccptions to this ordinary course
of administration may. however, be
made at any time by special direction
of the president if he sees fit to call
upon the chief of staff to give infor-
nation or advice, or receive instruc-
tions directly
The chief of staff is detailed by
the president from officers of the
army at large not below the grade of
brigadier general. The successful
performance of the duties of the po-
sition requires what the title denotes
"A relation of absolute confidence
and personal accord and sympathy be-
tween the chief of staff and the presi-
dent, and necessarily also between
the chief of staff and the secretary of
war.
For this reason, without any re
Election whatever upon the officer de-
tailed, the detail will in every case
cease, unless sooner terminated, on
the day following the expiration of
the term of office Of the president by
whom the detail is made. and if at
any time the chief Of staff considers
that he can no longer sustain toward
the president and the secretary of
war the relations above described, it
