Secretary Taft and Anti-Imperialism.

Secretary Taft says that 80 per cent,
of the population of the Philippines are
uneducated, and unprepared for modern
civilizations; that they are easily in
fuenced by any of their own people of
wealth and education; the Christian
Filipino when educated easily embracesl
American ideas. The capacity of thel
Filipinos fer education is shown by
the development of the 10 per cent. of
the native population that is educated.
They are bright, full of courtesy and
theoretically are in favor of civil liberty.
themselves with the government and to
make themselves responsible for its
proper administration, disqualifies the
great body of the Filipino people at pres
ent for self government and for the
system of trial by jury.
The United States government is try
ing to supply this deficiency by instruct
sponsibility. The wealthy and educated
class among the Filipinos have yet to
learn by actual experience in self gov
eminent, how it is done. There is not in
telligent pub bile opinion in the Philippines
to-day and there cannot be until the peo-
pie are educated in a common language
to express their thoughts. Primary and
secondary schools in English have been
established by this government in the
Philippines and Secretary Taft says
that IS to 90 per cent. of the people are
as yet untitled for political control. This
is obvious and democrats who agree that
this government was wise in not giving
the Indians local self government until
they were educated, should apply the
same principle to the Filipinos. If the
democrats who are now DISTINGUISHING
the blacks in the South without regard
to education, will take their own medi-
cine as to the Philippines We can carry
Secretary Tafts program unanimously.

as near together as that in their estim
ates of values, does it look like con-
certed scheme to Jack up the valua-
ton? Or does it look as though the rec
ognized value was apparent to all men?
1t has been the aim of Mr.. Davis and
his organ to delude the farmer into the
belief that the increase in the State val
uation has put upon him an additional
burden. But is this true? The figures
again prove that it is not true. The fig
ures show that the increase in valuation
has come about through increases in IS
cities and towns and on wild lands and
NOT ON THE FARMS OF MAINE.
These IS cities and towns are: Auburn,
bou, Fort Fairfield Houlton, Presque
Isle, Portland and Deering, Cape Eliza

them s36, 263.513 more than they were

NAMES FISH and GAME
No Money for Game Protection
Whole appropriation for
Fish Hatcheries.

The Maine democracy has been busy
juggling the figures in regard to the
States fish and game interests. The de-
mocracy charges thar the State spends
$54,911.61 per year in the protection Of
knows that the State of Maine does moth
ing of the sort-but little misstatement
like that doesn't bother the democrats
in the present campaign.
Now the democratic managers know.
just as well as we do, that such a state
ment isn't true, but they hope to have 1t
catch the eye Of someone unacquainted
with the actual facts.
The democratic managers know that
the State of Maine is not spending dol
lar for the protection of its game The
democratic managers know that the en-
tire warden service, the expenses Of the
chairman Of the commissioners and clerk
hire are paid out Of the license receipts
from nonresident hunters and minor IL
censes The democratic managers know
that the State appropriates $4,000 per
year for fish hatcheries and feeding sta
lions and that not dollar of this money
is used for any other purpose The dem
ocratic managers know that this $4,000
keeps seven fish hatcheries running
throughout the year and that these seven
hatcheries are wholly inadequate to sup
ply the demand for fish to stock public
waters. The democratic managers know
that the farmers of Maine approve Of Is
fish culture, realizing that well-stocked
pond means more summer boarders and
better prices for board.
All this do the democratic managers
know, yet they deliberately twist the
figures in the endeavor to make the far
mers of Maine believe that the State is
appropriating tremendous sums for the
protection of wild game.
The farmer who has looked the matter
up understands fully the fallacy of the
democratic cry and will not be likely to
follow a party which thus endeavors to
make him believe something which is
absolutely untrue.
The democratic managers know that
where nonresident sportsmen left one
dollar within the State in 1882 they left
thousand II. 1903. The democratic man
ayers know that the official records and
railroad passenger returns prove this.
But do they tell the farmers Of Maine
these things which they know?
Oh, no!
The democratic managers are too busy
telling the people things that are not 50
to have time to bother with the facts.

that the farm property outside Of
Aroostook County was valued consider
ably less in 1902 than in 1890, and that
the increase of the valuation in 1902
over 1890 is made up from the increase
in valuation Of the thirty-eight
cities and towns referred to.
AS a matter Of fact, as our cities and
villages grow, as our manufacturing
industries are developed, as our sum-
mer resorts are built up and extended,
the proportion of State taxes that are
borne by the farmers grows less with
each valuation.
These comparisons do not indicate a
decadence of the agricultural interests
In the State, but suggest, rather, fair
and more reasonable adjustment Of
the burdens Of taxation.

interesting to know IN this connection
that the local valuation for 1908 is within
two and four-fiftns per cent. Of the last

Inasmuch as farm valuations are not
returned separately, it is not easy to
separate this class Of property from
other real estate, and the only way to
get at the general issue is to group
large number of towns in which the
farming interests predominant. Leaving
out Aroostook, where the farmers pros
perity cannot be gainsaid, grouping
of $50 farming towns makes a striking
total. The figures show that values have

JURY STOOD
SIX TO SIX
Wallace Murder Case Will Be Re-
tried at the Next Term of Court
at Socorro.

"The jury in the Wallace murder
case stood six for conviction of MUIR
der in the first degree and six for ac-
quittal," said Judge w. H. Pope, who
presided at the trial "At the end of
the four days deliberation the jury
stood the same as they did on the
first ballot. The foreman of the jury,
Captain M. Cooney, the mayor of So
corro, said it would be impossible for
the jury to agree on a verdict if kept
out longer. SO discharged it, and re-
manded Wallace to Jail without bail,
and his case will come up at the next
term of court held in Socorro, which
will be in May.
"The criminal docket and the Jail
were cleared of prisoners with the ex-
ception of Wallace, and the case of
William Leroy McFadden, charged
with the murder of two men at the salt
lakes in western Socorro County At
the request of McFadden's counsel, his
case was continued to the next term
