Meeting of Committee.

The meeting of the County Demo . cratic Executive Committee Sat urday Is awaited with much interest, not only by the politicians, but the pub lie. An erroneous idea prevails to some extent that this is special meet ing of the committee. made necessary by the decision of the Supreme Court declaring the Jefferson County consol- dated court bill unconstitutional. The fact Is that the committee is required by law to meet and certify the nomina- tfons made in the April primary. and while the effect of the decision ofRtho Supreme Court will enter largely Into the deliberations of the committee, the meeting would, of course. have been called had there been no such decision.
 There has been recently considerable speculation as to the action of the man of the committee, made this state- ment this morning:
 Tt has been said that 1t would be a dangerous precedent for the commit . tee to declare the nominations That is not true. It is the duty of the com mittee to declare the nominations made by the people in the April primary. To do otherwise would create a very dangerous precedent. It would mean that when the people had made nom nations that did not satisfy the com der another primary election. In my opinion, there Is but one thing for the committee to do-that is to declare the nominations as made by the people in the primary on the 11th of Apr!l. While 1t Is true there is difference in the name of the courts, there is ab solutely no difference in the judicial

He is in exactly the same pos,- ton as Judge Coleman. The law cre- ating the consolidated court provided Tor an extra judge, for which office Mir. weaver was nominated. The Lusk act provides for an extra judge. tt seems clear that the people intended MT. Weaver to occupy this extra judge ship; whatever It may be called.
 practically the same conditions pre- vail as to the clerks. MT. McAdory is stilI circuit court clerk. He ran fcf circuit court clerk. The consoiidate,. court act provided for two clerks, and pr. J. s. Gillespy ran for the other place. There are still two clerkships. one for McAdory and one for Giliespy.
 T am satisfied the people do not de. sire another primary election with It's turmoil and expense. In every pre- cinct Of the county from which I have heard the opinion seems universal that the committee should declare the nom nations as made on the 1ith of April.
 indications are that there will be q large attendance of the members of the committee. and that the discussion or the situation will be free and frank ss

AT CASINO THEATRE.
Mabel Paige Company Presents sBecky
 Rlfss.n

An audience that almost nlled the Casino Theatre last night got about two hours of amusement out of Becky Bliss" a rural comedy drama pro- duced by Mabel Paige and her com pany.
 The play is the regulation type of rural comedy dramas produced by repertoire companies. and is no better or worse than the average, but it seemed to amuse the audience, which is all that Is expected.
 That the audience was enjoying tha performance could be easily told by the applause which it bestowed freely. The play Is practically without hero and Is soothing in the absence of the melodramic.
 Miss Paige. as Becky Bliss, did her usual clever work and helped in a great way towards the success of the per formance. Mir. Rodgers, Miss Claire and Mir. Willard did pleasing work ~in character parts.
 The specialties took we'll with tho audience and were enjoyed.
 The orchestra of the theatre deserves credit for the excellent music, both in class and in style. that is being played during the acts. The selections are new and are well rendered.
 The bill will be repeated tonight.

TAFT ON THE FILIPINO
SAYS AMERICA SHOULD NOT WITH
 DRAW AT PRESENT.
Should 1t Do So, He Declares, the Fso- ric of the Educational systen Established Would Fau
 to. Pieces.

Chautauuua N. Y., Aug. 1l.-Ihis al . ternoon Secretary Taft addressed the largest audience that has gathered at the Summer Assembly in many years His subject was our Duty Tn the Fhii- ippines.
 "The fact that it is acquiesced in so generally" said the Secretary. lis a confirmation of the view that S5 to 90 per cent of the people in the Philip pine Islands are wholly unfitted to ex- ercise governmental or political con- trol."
 He added that experience had shown that many who do vote need much ex- perience and education to be fitted for self government. In establishing an assembly in accordance with the act of 1902, said the Secretary, the promise of MT. Mckinley is being carried out.
 The entire absence of partia1ity by the courts toward Americans, he said, had convinced the Filipinos of the good intentions of this Government. It was a matter of conjecture how long the process of education of the people will take, but 1t should be continued long enough under American auspices to insure its continuance until the Fili- pinos should be fitted to establish an independent government. Continuing. he said:
 If the Government were now turned over to the people without American guidance then we can be sure that the whole fabric of the educational system established by the American Govern ment in these islands will fall to pieces. The self-reliance, the patience and the knowledge necessary to the continuance of such a system of edu- cation are not to be found even among the intelligent classes of the Filipino people. They are not sufficiently charg- ed with the importance of maintaining all these instruments have described for the purpose of elevating the poor and common people They are content with a government of the few"
 He closed by saying 1t would be a matter of infiplte regret to~him If q policy shall be followed which will take away from the hands of the Amer ican Government the power to do this people good by carrying out the plan of education outlined.
