The Deadly Cost Of the Philippines.
Boston Traveller.


The nation does all that can be
done for its dead who meet their end
in the distant islands of the Pacific.
They are buried in the toll they loved
and their friends are given the oppor.
tunity OF paying the last tribute OF
respect to their memories. But why
need they have diedi Has the NOR
tality of the Philippines not been TO-
tally unnecessary? The war has been
over for years, yet the deaths 60 on.
Disease has succeeded sword and fire.
arms and insanity stalks hand in hand
with death. Such is the cost. What
is the gain? Nothing that can recon-.
pense the nation for the loss OF the
thousands of lives that have been sac.
rificed to the thirst for conquest. We
paid twenty million dollars for islands
that we do not want and that so far
have failed to even pay interest on the
investment and, in addition, have cost
US millions more and will cost US
many millions still. Taken altogether
this Philippines situations is the most
regretable feature of American his
tory.

The piano recital given at the home or
Mr.. and Mrs. V. E. Metzler last Friday
night was novel entertainment, moth
ing of the kind ever having been given
in the town before. All who had the
privilege of icing invited report one OF
the most enjoyable entertainments which
they have ever attended. The main
feature of the evening was piano
music, but the vocal music, as well as
the literary part of the program was
worthy OF special mention. All OF Mrs.
Metzler's pupils participated in some
way, and some of the numbers rendered
by the little once were especially good.
Mrs. Metzler as well as the parents OF
these pupils may be justly proud OF their
advancement. Mrs. MetZler spent a
great deal OF time and energy in train
ing her pupils for this entertainment,
but she was repaid when all acquitted
them selves with credit. The recital will
be repeated at the U. G. Church next
Friday evening, the proceeds being ap-
piled to the fund for paying for the new
organ. No one can afford to miss this
opportunity.
