Secretary Taft, in a speech at
Montpelie, Va, gave the best init.
nation of Republican purposes
respecting the Filipinos, when, in
concluding his speech he said:
"The great object we now have
in the Philippines is to build up
the government there so as to
make it more aud more useful to
the FilipinOs, so that they may
ultimately become an educated,

between England aud Canada"
1t is the expectation Of Secre.
tary Taft that the Filipinos shall
sustain towards us the relation
that Canada and Australia sustain
toward England, that is colonies.
Here is a confession that the Re.

War for Campaign Purposes

War for Campaign Purposes.
The following taken from the
Advocate of Peace is deserving
the careful thought of all true
patriots IN our country:
In his speech at Chicago nomin-
ating Theodore Roosevelt as Re.
publican candidate for the presi.
dency, Ex-Governor Black of New
York INDUCED in the following
gloriffcation of war:
"The fate Of nations is still de.
cided by their wars. You may talk
of orderly tribunals and learned
referees; you may sing in your
schools the gentle praises of the
quiet life; you may strike from
your books the last note of every
martial anthem, and yet out in the
smoke and thunder will always be
the tramp Ofhorses and the silent,
rigid, upturned face. Men may
prOphesy and women pray, but
peace will come here TO abide for.
ever on this earth only when the
dreams Of childhood are the &C.
cepted charts to guide the des-
TIMES of men. Events are number.
less and mighty, and no man eau
tell which wire runs around the
world. The nation basking today
IN the quiet OF cOntentment and
repOse may still be on the deadly
circuit and tomorrow wnthing in
the tolls of war;
This is as astounding an utter.
ance as has been heard in this
country in recent years, The flash
ana roar Of the rhetoric of the
passage are 80 overwhelming that
it is difficult to retain ones senses
enough to perceive the meaning.
But stripped of its rhetorical EN-.
bellishment, the naked significance
of it is: Nothing but war is su.
premely great. 1t is the final arbi.
ter of the fate Of nations. 1t ia
eternal. The horrible scenes of the
battlefield, gastly upturned faces,
and the mad charges of war hors.

bunals of arbitration, like that at
The Hague, with their learned
judges, are poor stick for nation
to lean upon. Education of school
children for peace IS nonsense.
The prophesies of men OF heart
and the prayers for peace of saint
ly women whose lives have been
blasted by war are stupid and
pOwerless. Dreams of universal
peace are as baseless and unrealiz.
able as the silly fancies which
come and go in child's brain.
The most fruitful and glorious
thing a nation ever does is to
wriggle and writhe on the deadly
wire of war. And ouch amazing
stuff as this is uttered on the eve
of the great campaign for the cleo
ton Of the president of this great
nation Of SO,0O0.OO0 Of people
whom peace has made prosperous
and mighty! If the president is
to be his own issue, his own plat
form, as is said, he may well pray
to be delivered from the necessity
Of carrying this plank about with
him.

NAY INCREASE
CIRCULATION.
THROUGH DECLINE IN PRICES
OF U. S. BONDS.
EFFECTS OF THE CALL.
Policy of Secretary Shaw to PayPrice
For Panama Canal Causes Banks
TO Have Bond Deposits Returned
Which They Must Use.

Washington-One of the effects of
Secretary Shaw's call upon the depos-
ltory banks for 20 per cent. of their
holdings Of United States deposits
will probably be to stimulate to some
degree the taking out of new National
Bank circulation. This will result
from the decline in prices Of United
otates bonds as result Of the in
crease IN the market supply by the re-
leas OF considerable proportion of
these now on deposit to secure pub
lie moneys.
just what the amount realized will
be can not be stated accurately, as it
will be uncovered by the reduction in
deposits. 1t is probable that nearly
all OF this class Of securities will be
released and that $15,000,OOO will rep
resent the full reduction under Sec
rotary Shaw's first call in the amount
OF United States bonds deposited to
secure public moneys. The release of
this amount, when taken in connec-
ton with the fact that it is the pres
ent intention Of Secretary Shaw to
make still further Withdrawals from
the banks after the canal payments
have been made, will tend to degrees
the prices Of all government issues.
The effect has already been antic-
lpated to some extent, as shown by
the fact that after the Secretary
circular letter was given out 2 per
cent consols were quoted at 104 "a
bid and l05 81 asked, and the 4 per
cents of 1925 at 1872 IA bid and 1873
asked, with other issues in proportion,
while month ago the quotations for
the twos were JOG bid and LOG IL
asked, and for the fours Of 1925 133-
IA bid and 1874 IA asked; and a wear
ago the quotations for the tyos were
los "a bid and 100 IA asked, and for
the tours Of 1925 135 1-2 and 1877 ask
ed.
Whether prices will fall much lower
or not will probably depend, in large
measure, upon later information as to
the intention of Secretary Shaw as
to further Withdrawals from the
banks and upon the judgment of the
market as to whether there will soon
be a demand for increased deposits
OF United States bonds to secure
deposits. AS to the latter Of these
questions it can be said that there
is no present prospects that govern
ment deposits will be increased again
before next fall, and even then it is
not certain that there will be de-
mand for United States bonds for this
PURPOSE.
