y is not. as things are at present,
learning anything of direct value to
him in training for life. These years
are the formative years. A boy who
cannot be reclaimed from lOaferdOm
by any other means may often re-
spOnd to the allurements of some
form of military drill. We do not
want in this country, nor do the pro-
gressive people of England want in
that country, a system which will
stifle individual initiative and make
either the individual or the army into
a mere machine. but if an army is to
be effective at all, it must be trained:
and volunteers cannot be picked raw
from the street" and sent into the
field without a terrible loss of time,
money, and life as a consequence.
We discovered that at Bull Run and
along the Potomac. and in the mill
tary camps at the time of the Span
ish war; England found it out in
South Africa, and the problem before
both countries is how to be prepared
for war, and gain the benefit of mill
tary discipline for the army and the
citizen, without mourning the evils of
militarism.

LaboTers' Rights.

An interesting court decision has
been given in Massachusetts, award
ing damages to a number of work
men who kept their jobs while a
strike was on and then were dis
charged at the behest of the unions
when the strike was ended.
In this case the men had a written
contract with their employers, who
promised to give them permanent
employment and protect them against
fines or expulsion by the labor unions
if they remained loyal during the
strike.
A case such as this shows that
however lax the honor of employees
may seem at times, there are other
times when the honor of employers
is just as lax. Such an exhibition of
utter lack of ethical principle as that
given by these Massachusetts, en-
ployers is of itself both the explana-
ton of and the justification for the
labor union.
Political parties may talk tariff to-
day, but the time is surely coming
when the paramount political issue
will be the relations between capital
and labor. The chief reason why il is
not so now is that both capital and
labor are afraid to look the question
squarely in the face.
The labor problem seems a hard
one to solve only because the consid-
erations of individual selfshness
constantly befog the fundamental
point with the idea that one man
can get good for himself by dealing
unfairly with his feIlow-man.
That is a notion, the falsity of
which enlightened self-interest is
thoroughly exposing, and the wise
men of this day and generation are
beginning to see that the salvation of
the few depends absolutely on their
dealing squarely with all.

ConSCTiption in England.

1t is reported that some form of
CONSUMPTION may come into use in
England before long, the reason be-
ing that it is difficult to recruit the
English army after the serious losses
suffered in the South African war.
There is no doubt that something like
conscription viii have TO take place if
England is TO maintain her position
as a first-class fighting power. and It
may be that the present reorganiza-
ton Of the war Office will lead TO
something of the kind.
The prejudice against CONSUMPTION
in England and in this country comes
from the injudicious lengths TO which
the system is carried in certain Con-
tinental countries. When a young
man is taken out Of active life and
made a machine for several years in
the formative period OF his life. it is
often hard for him to recover tie
ground lost in that time; and the cost
Of the system is also immense, and
must be borne by people who can i'll
afford It, But if wise heads were to
get together and arrange some plan
by which the advantages of military
drill could be secured for the country
and for the individual, by subjecting
every youth to something like the
discipline of West Point for a year or
two, It might not be a bad thing for
any country, especially for countries
with the vigor and independence OF
the two great AnglO-Saxon branches
of the race.
1t is generally agreed that for sons
Of well-to-do people the discipline OF
West Point and Of military schools is
a good thing The boys are taught

IN TIME OF YORE WHEN SHEP,
HERDS DWELT.

In time Of yore. when shepherds dwelt
Upon the mountain rocks;
And simple people never felt
The pain OF lovers mocks;
But little birds would carry tales
.Twixt Susan and her sweeung,
And all the dainty nightingales
Did sing at lovers meeting;
Then might you see what looks did pass
Where shepherds did assemble,
And where the life of true love was
When hearts could not Ensemble.
When yea" and may" was thought an
oath
That was not TO be doubted,
"troth"
We were not 20 be nouted.
Then did they talk Of curds ard cream.
OF butter. cheese. and milk;
There was no speech Of sunny beam
Nor OF the golden silk.
Then for gift a row OF pins.
A purse, a pair OF knives,
Was all the way that love begins;
And so the shepherd wives.
But now we have so much ado
And are so sore aggrievcd
That when we go about 20 WOO
We cannot be believed;
Such choice Of jewels. rings, and chains,
That may but favor move,
And such intolerable pains
Ere one can hit on love:
That II / still shall bide this life
Twist love and deadly hate,
/ viii go learn the country life
or leave the lovers state.

Philippine Conditions.

The summary of Philippine com
-merce for 1898, which has just been
issued by the Bureau of Insular At
fairs. is not the sort of stuff the anti
imperialist delights to feed upon, but
it is mighty good reading for the
average American citizen. who be-
lieves that his Government is honest
and is honestly endeavoring to dis
charge creditably responsibilities
which were imposed upon it through
no seeking Of its own.
The summary is a straightforward
statement of the improved conditions
under American control. given plain
~ in figures, so much coming in and
so much going out, which cannot be
made to deceive.
The first fact which strikes home is
that the commerce of the islands has
practically doubled in volume since
the end of the Spanish regime. In
1903 gross shipments to and from the
islands Appropriated $4,000, 900,
while in 1899, under Spanish control.
they were S34,OOO,O0O.
During 1903 the imports were
slightly in excess of the exports.
owing to the immense quantities of
rice, amounting to S12,5OO,OOO, which
were brought into the country on ac-
count of the failure of the food crops
OF the islands. Two-thirds Of the
total export was hemp, and at least
fifteen of the forty-one provinces
produced more of this than ever be-
fore.
One handicap to extensive farming
is the absence of draft animals. The
Government is endeavoring TO rem
coy this by importation, but as yet
has not been successful in securing
animals that are immune to the dis
eases Of the islands.
Business men still complain of the
lack of good labor, but the insuiar
government seems to think that. I'M
der settled conditions, the Filipino
laborer will fully meet the demand.
This factor has it's effect on invest
ments, and American capital especial
" seems loath to take any chances.
The result is that imperative neces-
sity compels the granting of fran
Chises for railroad and other con-
structive enterprises TO the English
and Belgian promoters who are on
the spot.
With the exception of the Congress
SIGNAL relief fund, made necessary by
the failure OF food crops, the govern
ment expenses have been, met by the
insular revenues. though the tariff
rate is lower than that levied under
Spain. A system or internal revenue
collections viii probably be adopted.
which will permit a lower tariff
schedule than the present average IS
per cent ad valOrem.
These few facts. selected from an
abundance Of similar ones, are quite
sufficient TO refute the sentimental
nonsense that has been talked about
the Philippines being exploited for
the sole benefit Of United States
capital.
The simple truth is that the islands
have never been so well off in all
their history, and the good work has
only just been started, at that.
