How strenrthened.

As little departures from conscience
lead to Others and greater. in time to
corruption Of all, so constant eNer-
else of the conscience is n strengthen
er of the virtues and those qualities
which go to uplift and purify the be-
ing. All vices are fastened as they
are exercised. Anything which does
not tend to elevate acts in the other
direction. BY exercise of conscience
the value of life is made to follow and
become apparent. There is always n
place for the conscientious man or
woman and the world is ever on the
lookout for such to fill places of trust
and confidence. Sanctify the high
school education with moral sound
ness, and success and happiness can
not fail TO be the result

Trouble Was Feared.

This trouble that has developed at
Joliet was feared in the beginning of
the season and was urged by some
against any change in the circuit. The
Central league is said to be in sore
financial straits and liable to go un-
der. If this should happen it is not
improbable that Terre Haute and Ev-
ansville will be glad to get back their
old berths in the Three-Eye.

DENVER, Col, May 16.-Although the
number of strikers in this city was in
creased to nearly six thousand to-day and
many branches of business are seriously
crippled, the labor situation has changed
for the better inasmuch there are now
indications that arbitration will be agreed
upon. The general executive committee of
organized labor to-day accepted the offer
of the services of the State Board of Arbi-
tration, subject to the following stipula-
tions:
First, that all employees now locked out
by the Candy Manufacturers Association
and the Transfer Mems Association be al
lowed to return to work by the members of
such employers associations.
Second that the differences between en-
ployers and the grocery clerks, van drivers,
bakers and any other crafts having differ
ences, be submitted to your board for arbi-
tration.
Third, that on the acceptance of this
proposition by the employers concerned in
the differences we will Immediately order
back to work each and every workman now
out, under contracts now in existence
Committees of the Chamber of Commerce
and of the Allied Printing Trades Council
are also working to bring about a settle
mept of existing difficulties. Only a few
cases of disturbance are reported to-day
and none of a serious nature
The Citizens Alliance rejected the propo-
sition that the matter In controversy be
submitted to the State Arbitration Board
for settlement, on the ground that the
unions have. refused to recognize the alli-
ance. Several other arbitration proposals
have been suggested by those who are try
ing to bring the two sides together, and it
is hoped that some tangible result may
soon be reached.

GOVERNOR TAFT's SECRETARY.
He Says Manila II the Cleanest City
I'm the World.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-W. B. Win
throp, executive secretary to Governor
Taft, of the Philippine Commission, has
arrived here on the Siberia. He has just
completed two years of service in the ORR
ent, and is home on a six months leave of
absence. Secretary Winthrop said that
Governor Taft was still at Benguet, when
he left, but that his health had been al
most entirely restored.
Manila says Winthrop 'is now the
cleanest city of it's size in the world, with
less crime than any community of which
know. The ladrones you read about in
the dipatches are just about like your
burglars and highwaymen. only not quite
so numerous and more easily disposed of.
Business In Manila Is dull at present,
but the Agricultural Department is re-
sponsible for that. and the condition is
only temporary. The rinderpest destroyed
a great many cattle, and the agricultural
methods in vogue throughout the islands
are of the most elementary nature. The
natives raise sugar and make 1t pay, and
that by the crudest and most wasteful of
processes. The agricultural possibilities of
the Philippines are infinite, and with mod
ern methods there is not reason why the
islands should not be as fruitful as any
lands on earth. The recent congressional
appropriation will do much to alleviate the
situation. and the currency legislation will
do more thany anything else for the ma
terlal development of the Philippines.
The labor problem is deep one. 1t Will
De settled, however, and on the lines laid
down by Governor Taft. The commission
realizes that while the admission of Chi
nese labor would hasten the development
OF the county and promote the prosperity
OF Americans financially interested there, it
would reduce the Filipino to the lowest
imaginable condition. Where he has been
given a chance under proper supervision
ne mas made an excellent workman. Capt.
Butt, of the land transport department,
and Major Aleshire, of the water trans
port, have both employed large numbers of
natives as teamsters, longshoremen, boat
men and general laborers, and both speak
mighty OF the Filipino's good qualities in
these lines of industry.

BIOGRAPHY OF HARRISON
1T WILL BE WRITTEN BY JOHN L..
GRIFFITHS WITHIN TWO YEARS.
All the Private Papers Turned Over to
Mr.. Grimths-His Qualifications
for the Task.

The biography of Gen. Benjamin Harri-
son is to be written by John L. Griffiths,
one Of the best known men in Indiana. The
announcement was made public yesterday.
and last night Mr.. Griffiths said the pre-
liminary arrangements for the work have
been made. All the private papers Of ex-
President Harrison. including some unfin-
ished manuscripts, arc to be turned over
to Mr.. Griffiths. The latter, with his wife.
will In a few days sail for London, and
from there go to Russia, to be absent the
greater part of the summer. On their re-
turn Mr. Griffishs will begin writing the
life of General Harrison. While abroad Mr..
Grif1ths will confer with some of the men
who were associated with General Harri-
son In the Venezuelan matter.
The work is to be completed in two years,
or at least Mr.. Griffiths will make an eff
fort to complete it within that period and
have 1t published. A number of publishing
houses have already communicated with
those interested in the work. but nothing
definite has been done in regard to placing
the book with any special house. 1t is un-
derstood Mr.. Grifiths has been urged TO
take up the biography work by the close
friends Of General Harrison who are anx-
ious that the life work of the great Indiana
statesman be placed in geographic form.
A CLOSE FRIEND.
Mr.. Grifhths was one of General Harri-
sons warm personal friends. In the Leg
isiature Of 1887 he placed General Harrison
In nomination for the United states Senate
and their personal friendship probably
dates back many years. After DE Harri-
sons came back from Washington to reside
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffiths saw much OF them
and the two families were very intimate
Those who know of this friendship and are
familiar with Mr.. Grifilths's easy and grace
ful style of writing and speaking. are glad
that he Is to undertake the work and be-
speak for II great success.
Mr.. Grifffths said last night that the
work will likely contain many facts that
have never been published regarding some
public questions with which General Har-
rison dealt. He said. however. that he Is
not at liberty at this time to say what
these new matters are.
