The Society for the Protection OF Italian
Immigrants was established few years
ago by Americans whom their pleasa mt
recollections of Italy and admiration OF
the Italian character led to take up task
which the Italians In this country have
so far refused to undertake. With limited
means and little official support II has
tackled one OF the important problems
of the Italian invasion--the distribution
of the immigrants from the cities, and above
all the chief port Of entry, New York, to
the country. That Is the place above all
where the great mass OF Italians, excellent
agricultural laborers. will be able to benefit
themselves and to prove useful to their
new home.
While helped by many intelligent Italians,
the efforts of the society have been ham
pered in some degree by Misunderstanding
on the part of those it has endeavored to
assist and by misrepresentation from those
who have hitherto profited by the ignorance
and helplessness of the immigrants. 1t has
succeeded in getting into touch with some
of the agencies that the Italian Government
has established for the protection Of emf
grants from Italy. and IL now endeavoring
TO come into closer relations. by sending
abroad its secretary, Mr.. GISo c. SPERANzA
to explain the objects OF the society and 10
secure cooperation with all bodies striving
for similar ends in Italy. Mr.. SPERANZA
is one Of the happily increasing number Of
Italians by birth who have been brought
I'D in America and is familiar. not only
with the conditions, but with the laws OF
both countries, and has besides thrown

Democrats and the Philippines.

At the Saturday night meeting OF
the College Mems Parker and Davis
Club, the Hon. IsIDoR RAYNER, Senator
elect from Maryland, put forth some
noble anti-imperialist fancies about the
Philippines. He advised Mr.. TAFT to
trv to sell the islands at auction:
lie, him call at some desirable spot an inter.
national sale and see how much he can get for them
lie, them be thoroughly advertised. to be sold with
out reserve. the people to GO with the territory.
TAFT is the man for auctioneer. His thorough
familiarity with the subject will enable him TO
dllate with glowing emphasis upon the beauty
and attractions OF these pearls OF the sea Let him
Nil, them up first as an entirety and II there is no
bid let them be offered In parcels. What VIII you

with all his da,tos and serts and consorts' Not a

audience Mr., TAFT. that this archipelago cost the
United States $500 900 900. and try to get oer
1 tell YOU that do not believe they will bring
dollar In the markets Of the world"
Mr.. TAFT is prevented by his knowl-
edge of the subject and his habit Of
sticking to the facts from telling any
body that the Philil pines cost the United
States some $780, 900 more than their
actual cost But there ought to be a
concordance of Democratic guesses.
Mr.. RAYNER guesses $500, 0O0,0 900. Judge
PARKERs guess, which ought to be
official, is over $50, 100000.
1t will be difficult for the United States
to acquire the habit of alternating part
of it's territory. II, however, the Philip
pines were for sale, there would be bid
ders enough ready to take advantage of
the folly of the Americans. Japan would
like them in her business. Germany,
France, almost any first class Power
would snap them up. When this cruel
campaign is over, Mr.. RAYNER ought
TO get out his atlas, fix on his mind the
geographical position OF the Philippines,
China, Japan, Siam, and ask some Balti-
more manufacturer or merchant to en-
tighten him as to the importance to the
United States of the possession of the

saws Mr.. RAYNER, -and ! say, give il TO

Democratic platform and Judge PARKER
propose to treat the Filipinos as the
Cubans were treated. Judge PARKER
favors making the promise TO them
now that we shall take action as soon
a. they are reasonably prepared for it, "
1t ID not the case that the Filipinos want
their own government, but whether they
do or not, Judge PARKER merely proposes

Two Straight Lines.

The legal cross (X) mark by which
voter indicates his choice Of candidate.
for Office on the official ballot is de-
scribed in the election law as "one straight
line crossing another straight line at
any angle" Most voters make the mark
in the form of an AZ" but some make
mark resembling plus sign. The law
requires only that the mark shall con-
sst of two straight lines crossing each
other within voting circle or voting
space.
1t is not complicated matter to mark
the ballot for split ticket. The voter
who chooses to split his ticket in the
manner illustrated in the diagram "A"
in another column makes cross (A)
mark in the voting space in front OF the
name of each candidate for whom he
wishes to vote Did he wish to vote only
for the Republican national ticket, ignor-
ing the candidates for State office, he
would make a cross CX) mark in the vot-
ing space in front of the name OF each
candidate for elector Of President and
Vice President in the Republican col
umn. Thirty-nne electors are to be
chosen, and thirty-nine cross CA marks
must be made by the man who wants to
vote only for them. If the voter wants
to smash the Grocery, after marking the
cross (X) marks in the electors voting
spaces, he will make cross tX) marks in
the spaces in front of the names of the
Hon. D-CADY HERRICK, the Hon. FRANCIS
BURTON HARRISON, the Hon. JOHN Gun
NEEN and the Hon. THOMAS II. STRY-
KER,, the Citizens candidates for State
office.
The voter must remember that il he
marks his ballot in this manner his
vote will be recorded only for the can
didates in whose voting spaces he makes
the legal cross (X) mark.
The method of voting a split ticket
illustrated in the diagram "B' is pre-
ferred by some voters. The citizen
choosing to mark his ballot in this way
makes a cross (X) mark in the circle
under the Republican emblem, thus
voting for all the Republican candidates
except those for whose opponents he
votes by making cross (X) marks in the
voting spaces in front Of their names.
Having made the cross ca mark in the
circle under the ballot box the voter
opposed TO Odellsm makes cross (A)
marks in the voting spaces in front
of the names of Mr.. HERRIcK, Mr.. HAIR
RIsoN, Mr.. CUNNEEN and Mr.. STRYKER,
thus voting for the Citizens candidates,
and against the Grocery. This ballot
will be counted as a vote for every
Republican candidate for office except
those for whose opponents the voter has
indicated his choice by making the cross
CX) mark in the voting spaces in front OF
their names.
The ticket may be split with ease by
any voter. If he doubts his ability to
mark the official ballot correctly he
may obtain from the election officers
sample ballot on which to practise. On
that he may mark the names OF the can
didates of his choice and learn how to
vote for RnosEvEIT and HERRIcK, the
Citizens candidates for President and

Government, without which there can be no Gle
walton Of the people at all"
The Parker Democrats prate about
self government for the-Filiplnos and
yet do all they can to delay it. They
exaggerate enormously the cost OF the
islands, and yet seek to increase the cost
by stirring up discomfort and restlessness
among the Filipinos. Finally, in their
contempt of the commercial and stra-
tegic value of these islands, and in their
eagerness to get rid of them, they show
how the habit of sheer purposeless OPP
position has injured the Democratic
party and made it turn against its ira
ditional and glorious policy as great
expansionist party.
We prefer JEFFERSON dead to RoosE-
WELT living, says Mr.. RAYNKR. Dead men
for dead party, the Republicans might
answer. But the Democrats are faithless
even to the god whom they ignorantly
worship, Mr.. RAYNER. Il would rather
have the spirit of the dead JEFFERSON
lowering over the Ship of State than the
living ROOSEVELT at the helm The
spirit of the great annexationist and ex-
pansionist would be mighty homesck in
the company of the Democracy of 1904.

Japan's Hospital Service.

The Army General stan is to be COM
mended for it's decision TO despatch sur
ceons of the Regular army to observe
the operations of the field hospital
service Of the armies now engaged in
Manchura, The particular point open to
criticism in this decision lies in the pur-
pose TO send only one representative to
each army. 1t would be better TO send
two or even more.
1t is remarkable that within so short
a time after the close of wars in which
such nations as England and the United
States have been engaged it should be
possible for the War Department of this
country to state officially that it has
become evident to the General staff that
there has been almost revolution in
field hospital methods as result of the
war as far as it has gone" We are some
what disposed to doubt whether this is
an exact statement of the case. II seems
FAR more probable. In the case of Japan
al least, that the comparative freedom Of
Japanese camps and moving armies from
those epidemics which are The usual
attendants of military bodies, and the
success Of field surgery in the treatment
of wounded men, is due far more to Jap
anese provision and preparation than to
lessons learned since the outbreak of
hestilities.
While the treatment Of wounds in field
hospitals is Of unquestionabIe import
ance, it is of far loss importance than is
the prevention and cure of diseases in
camp. This is established by the fact
that from the latter part Of April until
Sept, 30, 1898, the records Of the United
States Army show S45 deaths in action
or from wo1.ds received in action and

Senator Morgan to John Hay.

Senator MoRGANs open letter to Secre-
tary HAY accuses the State Department
and the Administration Of "sneaklng out
OF the Mckinley compacts between
Nicaragua and Costa RIGA and the United
States" thus disappointing the hopes
OF all his predecessors since LINCOLN
and of the great engineers and com
missioners who had most carefully ex-
amined the subject and had surveyed
the canal line thoroughly and reported
in favor Of the Nicaragua route.
Mr.. MoRGAN's vituperation will pro-
woke no interest in any quarter OUTSIDE
of Col. HENRY WATTERsoN'S sanctum,
except as painful exhibition of in
veterate prejudice. Why is the Senator
unable TO maintain the reasonable atti-
tude he assumed after the adoption OF
the Panama route and the enactment
of the Spooner law? Mr. MORGAN then
said, in June, 1902:
Il feel more encouraged than az any other time
snce began the night for an lsthmian canal Inc
action OF the Senate this afternoon means 'hat a
canal will be constructed, wanted It constructed
nv the NIcarasuan route because think that route
the better. II IL could not I've by Nicaragua how

sideration is a canal. The question OF route Is
secondary The people demand a canal THINK
they would have preferred the Nicaragua route
butI feel sa,isA they will be glad TO have Panama
How much more respectable would be
Senator MoRGAN's position now II he
had allowed this sensible and patriotic
declaration to stand as his last words on
the subject.
Furthermore, what does Mr.. MORGAN
mean when he accuses Mr.. HAY OF ut
tering "unbecoming criticisms, censures
and epthets against Democratic Sena-
tors, whose duty it is to guard the coun-
try against the abuses that diplomatic
agents of the country not unfreqlentiy
infict upon the people and the Govern
ment'?
And when he adds to the foregoing
this final rcproach?
You should have clcanscd your robes from con
tact with the culpnts OF the Panama Canal Com
many that body OF death that France has so long
struggled TO unload upon the United States"
As matter of fact and of record, that
sbody of DEATH as Mr. MORGAN chooses
TO call the Panama Canal, was "unloaded
upon the United States" by Democratic
Senators. Fourteen of them voted on
the 2sd of February last to ratify the
INTERCHANGEABLE Treaty, and two
more were paired in favor of it.
If these sixteen Democrats had voted
with Mr.. MORGAN against the treaty it
would have been defeated.
In that sense, Mr.. MoRGAEs Demo-
cratic colleagues charged as he says with
the duty of guarding the country against
the acts of diplomatic agents are respon-
sible for the Panama Canal; and they,
not Mr.. HAY, are the proper objects Of
his belated reproaches.

Campaign methods have changed per-
ceptibly in recent years, particularly with
regard to the traditional farmer of the re-
mote backwoods, the honest yeoman.'
the -horny handed agriculturist,' and the
sturdy husbandman"
Many new conditions account for this.
The urban population is rapidly increasing,
so as to make it probable that within a
few years a majority Of the people Of the
United States will be residents Of cities
and Incorporated towns. Free rural de-
livery Of letters and packages has made
farmers more independent and much bet
ter informed. 1t has diminished the former
influence Of the corner grocery as centre
Of information. Trolley lines have furnished
a convenient means Of communication. The
old era of campaigning by means Of garden
and field seeds sent by Congressman to rural
constituents and by "franked' copies Of the
Record Is passing away.

That clause OF the election law which re-
Quires the names OF the candidates for Presi-
dent and vice-P President to be printed at
the head Of the party columns on the official
ballot has puzzled good many persons.
Why are the names there2 The candidates
for President and yice-President are not
voted upon by the voters. Their names do
not belong on the ticket, and should not
appear there.
The explanation of this mystery Is now
supplied by the Hon. WILLIAM BARNES, Jr.,
of Albany and the Republican State execu-
tive committee. Mr.. BARNRs's newspaper.
tho Albany Evening Journal, prints picture
of the top OF the Republican column on the
official ballot, with this statement under it,
do not mark In front OF the names or you Will
invalidatc your ballot"
careless reader would suppose that
this plain statement referred to all the
names on the ballot and would be inclined
to call the Evening journal a liar. But
really II refers to the names OF the nominees
for President and Vice President only, and
OF them 1t 10 true. Thsse names are printed
to save Mr.. BARNEs's face.
