I am not a politician, said Bishop Brent of Manila at the recent Balti- more dinner of the Maryland Church club, nor am I upholding the belief of any political organization when I say, and that beyond all question, that the greatest injustice that car be done to the Fflipinos by the American people is to press upon the Filipinos the possi- bility of independence. They want to be let alone. They have no conception of Independence, and you have to go to the lowest type of the people in the very slurns of your city, and even low CT than that, if it be possible, to obtain an idea of what the average Filipino is at this time. am conscious of the fact that there may be such a thing as 3 child people, who need the supporting arm of a great government, and it's protecting care"

The imports of olive oil into the Unit ed States from Spain range from 14.- 0oo,OOO to 21,OOO,OOo barrels year, and yet the annual consumption here aver ages several times this amount. If any pure food legislation is enacted by congress, olive oil will be one of the articles considered. Not only do domes- tic manufacturers make a spurious oil, and pack it in bottles carrying Span ish labels, but the oil itself is frequent ly unwholsome. The adulteration of olive oil is said to be almost as wide spread as that of Scotch whiskey. It will be remembered that according to estimates made by Professor Wiley. the Government chemist, several times as much Scotch whiskey'' is sold each year in the United States alone as the entire Scotch output.

Michael MacMahon, a St. Louis po- liceman who died there last week, was the son and heir of the late Baron Hugh MacMahon, owner of a large es- tate in County Armagh, Ireland. He refused to take up the title and proper ty because before doing so he would have to swear allegiance to the British crown. His oldest son is of the same view and declares he will follow his fathers example. The young man is a priest in charge of a church in Detroit. The dead officer was second cousin to Marshal MacMahon, the famous soldier of France.

Bread isn't the only thing that some times returns. L. H. Dayhoff is State superintendent of schools in Kansas. Back in 1889. when he was hot-headed, he accepted challenge to fight a duel with chap named Dickerson, as the result of a quarrel over a love affair. The duel was never fought, but the Kansas constitution prescribes that ac- ceptance to fight a duel shall make 9 person ineligible to hold office. Enc mics of the State superintendent now threaten to institute legal proceedings to prevent his inauguration for another term.

The newly built railroad from Pueblo to Beulah,

The newly built railroad from Pueblo to Beulah,
Colorado has decided to charge it's passengers ac-
cording to their weight. The standard will be $50
pounds, and all passengers who weigh more than this
will be charged extra according to the amount Of
flesh they carry. Hand baggage comes under the
head of flesh. excepting stated amount which may be
checked and shipped in the baggage This seems
like eminently fair arrangement. Fat persons re-
quire the use of more steam to move them and take
up more room than thin ones, 80 why shouldn't
they be charged extra? If other roads adopt the
system, people who anticipate long journey the
will go in for course of training before they
start and thus the physical standard of the country
will be raised. Perhaps in course of time the rail-
roads will be public benefactors.

IT is often said of one who dissipates, that he is
"nobody's enemy but his own" and men who drink
more than is good for them their indulgence

Lectures on temperance and prohibition are a
drug the market, and we have inclination to
add to the total of the dreary literature; but
few words showing the utter faacy of such apologies
as the foregoing never amiss.
A man can't be his own enemy without being
the enemy of some one else neither can he injure
himself by self. indulgence without at the time
injuring Others No one is absolutely isolated. No
matter how humble ones station in life may be- his

tact will be good or bad Just election is de-
cided by the votes of individuals, the moral tone
of country depends upon the habits and actions of
individuals The person setting bad example in

Drink is factor of crime, pauperism and dis
ease, and these evils necesstate the existence of
formatories PRISONS almshouses and hospitals all of
which must be supported by the taxpayer It is OBJ
vious that to encourage business producing such
expensive results is injurious not only to the ndvid
ual, but to the whole community.
Fifty per cent of the brothes, gambling joints,
dance halls and other vicious resorts depend upon
the saloon for existence and every patron of the
loon is doing his share toward the support of these
dives which annually ruin thousands of young men
and women.

/. AGAIN the question of extending the franchise
to women is being agitated in Massachusetts,. Gov
Bates In his message to the legislature has asked
that the suffrage be extended to women in municipal
elections, and the matter is creating considerable
discussion throughout the state.
Massachusetts,, in common with the rest of New
England, is conservative not to say hide-bound
otherwise it would not hesitate to give women
the right to vote if they want it, In the more pro-
gressye western states in those which limit the
franchise at present. universal suffrage will be grant
ed whenever the majority of citizens desire it.
As long as women are compelled to observe the
laws, they entitled to have some choice in the
selection of those who frame the laws. 1t is right
that should not be denied them Massachusetts, will
probably get into line twenty years hence

Gov. MURPHY of New Jersey is so incensed over
the signboard nuisance that he has called attention
to the matter in his message to the legislature say
ing that if the advertising signs continue to increase
along the lines of the railroads. cit is not difficult to
imagine the day at hand when the traveller will
have the beautiful hills, vaes trees and flowers shut
completely from view, and will pass through con-
tinuous and unbroken lane of signboards that will
trouble his nights and his days with suggestions of
things that are dsagreeable." The governor recon-
mends that the signboards be taxed very heavily
The governor of New Jersey will find himself
famous if he succeeds in egislating the signboard
out of existence. His name will be engraved on
tablets of brass that future generations may call him
blessed and the little children of the present will
weave ohaplets of flowers to decorate his statues,
delighting to honor the who removed from their
gaze the humiiating and mendacious bat often reit
Grated statement that they cryfor much advertised
laxative. But he won't succeed Municipalities,
backed up by press and public have tilted against
the signboard. only to find it impregnable. This is
free country and any person can disfgure his own
landscape at his own pleasure, SO long as he does
not interfere with the life liberty and pursuit of
happiness of his neighbor in SO doing.
The way to get rid Of the obnoxious signboard
is to boycott the merchant that dsfgures the coun-
trysde with it. It can't be l1gislated out of exist
ence.

In the current NUMBER OF the AfFNH Mr. b ~.
Flower has lengthy article that much discussed
subject Bribery and Corruption According to the
writer bribery walks abroad nnabashed among high
and low, and particularly among those occupying
exalted positions in commercial and legislative circles
The frequency in which scandals have engaged pub
lie attention during the past year. shows that vice.
while apparently secure from moestaton, does not
dominate the situation.
During the recent municipal xposures it looked
as tho dishonesty rampant and that justice had
entered into an alliance with the worshippers of
Mammon. The men high in municipal govern
ments appeared immersed in moral turpitude that
the cry of bribery and corruption could be heard
around the globe. The European press shouted
with gee The foreign element residing temporari-
ly within our borders were enthusiastically elated
and wrote home to their friends glowing accounts of
the decline Of American institutions After the cry
of the yellow press had ceased to reverberate it
discovered that the situation far from being dis
couraging that honesty still the dominant fact
or among municipal and Legislative lawmakers and
that justice waved its scepter fearlessy the
monied and powerful owners of corporations as it
does over the downtrodden masses
While considerable publicity is given to city
in which bribery has been discovered and it's degen-
eracy and shamelessness moraized upon practically
nothing of commendatory nature is said of the
many cities throughout the country which are hon.
estly conducted. Vice has always existed 1t is i'm
possible to completely stife it. To imagine that the
country is going to ruin to shout treason, bribery
and corruption whenever departmental scandal is
unearthed, is not only cheap political buncombe, but
is potent factor in spreading the green microbe
around the circle

should not be expected of people,
neither would it be wise, to remain
always at home, or to pass all the
leisure hours in ones own home:
but it does seem as tho there is
something radically wrong when
such vast multitudes of people
eagerly seek all recreation and
amusement somewhere else, any
place but home. If half the mon
ey that is expended in harmful
amusements away from home was
invested in innocent, home amuse-

Since electricity has practically
revolutionized the usages of civil
cation, it is really surprising how
pronounced is the popular igno-
rance concerning it's simplest
phases. This great force which
turns night into day, that flashes
under thousands of miles of rolling
waves to tell of fortune and adj
versity, that enables us to listen to
the voice of friend thousands of
miles away, 80 little enlists our
interest that our real knowledge
concerning its generation and
limitation is almost as underlined
as it was a hundred years ago.
Indeed, the world at large may be
said to be in dense ignorance as to
the means employed in achieving
the marvellous results that are now
SO commonly produced along many
lines, by means of this wonderful
agent, electricity. We get on a
car, the man in front turns short
crank and the car proceeds at
greater or less speed or stops as
his hand indicates-and we know
in a broad, vague sense that these
results are produced by electricity.

But If pressed for a more minute
definition, in ninety nine cases out
of a hundred the explanations
would grow more and more alb
stract and less and less perspi-
cacious, until our entire lack of
knowledge on the subject would
be completely exposed.
If We stop to think for moment
of the many wonders that are
being produced by electricity, the
greatest of all inventions or dis
coveries, does it not seem strange
that we are content to remain
uniformed and even in total
ignorance concerning the produc-
ton of these phenomena? What
would the world be today if it had
not this wonderful forcep Sup
pose we we're deprived of the are

telegraph, telephone and the
numerous other wonders in the

go back to the se.called good old
timesof only a few years ago, there
would be q great many more people

earth as rapidly and quickly as
practicable and via the shortest

accustomed to accept quietly the

they seldom, If ever. give sufficient
serious thought to these great
inventions and discoveries, to BE-

citation which should be a dominant
