Reliable Figures

l.. recent address Judge Parker
save certain figures in relation to the
cost of the Philippines. These figures
were grossly incorrect Doubtless
they were used by the judge in good
faith. His mistake was in relying
upon the accuracy of Edward Atkin-
son. Mr.. Atkinson has a fault to
which many other chronic statis-
ticians are subject. He does not COM
pile his figures without bias. and then
draw conclusions from the result. He
draws his conclusions first, and the
figures have 10 mt these The old saw
that figures win not lie is only partly
true, for they can be made the me
dium for conveyance of a false i'm
preston, and such is the frequent use
to which they are put, Mr.. Atkinson
uses them in this way. but does not
realize it himself.
The total cost of the islands up to
the present has been, according to
Secretary Taft, S2O4.OO0O00. and the
annual expenditure now in keeping
them is between $4,000, 600 and $1,000
600. 1t is not likely that the Secre-
tary would make a statement that the
records would fail to verify. He is in
a position TO have knowledge Of his
own. The sum of S204, 900 is i'm
pressive, and yet as a governmental
expenditure covering a period OF
years it loses this aspect by compari-
son. There are individuals, or combi-
nations of individuals, in this country
engaged in private business who could
have borne the entire cost without
danger Of bankruptcy. There are sew
eral men who could sign their person
al checks once a year for $4,000. 600.
and yet have as many more millions
left out of the accretions to their for
tunes, in no manner impairing the

differ, and each citizen has a right 10

Trust Contributions.

In the present campaign each side
is accusing the other of accepting
contributions from the trusts. Both
sides, doubtless, are guilty, if such is
the proper term, and so the fuss re-
calls the exchange OF compliments be-
tween the pot and the kettle.
Although rare, it is just to consider
that neither OF the parties is organ
lied for desDoiIing the land. In each
there are men assured in their own
minds that they are right, and that
for the welfare of the country they
ought TO win. In each therz are
those impelled by selfish interests; on
this point the unbiased umpire must
declare a tie.
In the conduct Of a campaign the
use of money is legitimate and neces-
sary. There are huge bills to pay for
printing. postage, speIlbinding. hall
hire, and mileage. The corrupt use
OF money is far less common than
supposed. The actual buying of votes
is a dangerous procedure. and a term
in the penitenuary is likely to be a
consequence. The money has to come
from somewhere. Naturally. Il comes
from people who have IL. 1t cannot
be exacted from the voter who tolls
for his daily bread.
Rich men give the money. Some of
these men are Republicans and some
are Democrats A few, perhaps, do
not care TO commit themselves to any
policy, and so give to both sides. The
rich men of the country are in trusts.
There is hardly a great financial in
terest that could be mentioned. that
is not bound up in combination with
its kind. So when these rich men
