1t is encouraging to learn from
the new Secretary of War, Mr..
Taft, through a speech he made
before leaving the Philippines,
that the American Philippine
policy is to be "The Philippines
for the Filipino" Better late than
never. Yet thousands of lives
might have been saved-to say
nothing of American ideals-had
this policy been adopted when the
Filipinos had the Philippines and
were governing them better than
they have ever been governed
before or since. But that might
have prevented franchise grab
bling by American capitalists,
which was the vital force in oul
policy Of Philippine subjugation.

WHEN the boilers in st. Louis
county held a convention and Sc
lected delegates to the State con-
vention, the chairman of the meet
ing boldly announced that unless
Folk was nominated he would not
support the nominee. This an
nouncement suited the 'conven-
ton" there assembled, and they
told him to go on and preside, that
he was ''all right" What do you
think of that, fellow Democrats?
Do you want such Seattle" as that
to name the ticket for the true blue
Democrats of Missouri to elect?
Not on your life.

THE "member of the CLOTH"
when he gets into politics, is al
ways a misfit, and often a fraud.
Just now several of these preacher
politicians in st. Louis are making
all sorts of charges against every
body who is opposed to Mr.. Folk.
Yet it is a fact that the only dele
gates Mr.. Folk has from the city OF
st. Louis are those that were con-
trolled and given to him by Tony
Steuver, the millionaire brewer,
who is probably responsible for
more dives than any man in st.
Louis. Just at present, though,
Mr.. Steuver is the apple of these
same preachers eyes.

We hear that one Fred. T. Hunt, a

The Democrats of Jefferson
county will name their choice for
State officers at primary election.
The central committee of that
county held a meeting recently
and passed a resolution providing
that each candidate for State Of
flee should deposit $50 with the
treasurer of the county committee
before his name could be placed
on the primary election ticket.
This is an outrage, pure and sim
pie, and every candidate for State
Office should resent this attempt at
"hold up" by refusing to put up a
cent. Just think of it, fellow citi-
zens! Suppose that every county
in the State would do as Jefferson
has done. Every candidate for
State Office would then have to put
up $500 to get his name on the
ticket in the various counties-to
say nothing of the city of st. Lou
is. That is an amount almost
equal to two years salary of any
State officer, except that of Cover
nor and Supreme Judge. The JET
ferson county committee must be
sadly in need of funds, and, evil

chequer is r~ecuperated. The pri-
mary, in our opinion, is all wrong
anyway, and experience has prov
en- that it will eventually do away
with the majority of any political
party that adheres to it. But the
primary, as conducted in this State
at the present time, is nothing
short of outrageous.

Kitty's First Thanksgiving
BY IDA SHEPLER.

Kitty Blair lived in one of the states
where Thanksgiving dawns upon cold
days, and often the roads at this time
glisten with snow. But Thanksgiving
was not kept in Kitty's home. Her
father was an honest man. but very
strict and stern, and he said that he
gave thanks every hour. not just one
day in the year.
He did not believe in very much
pleasure for young people. The neigh
bors said: Just walt until that young
est child OF his. Kitty, grows up and
see II she doesn't set her will against
her fathers viii in these matters. She
has such a determined way with her."
The neighbors were right. When
Kitty was nearly IA she made her first
attempt 10 set aside her fathers will
Al school there WAS one boy named
Johnny Martin that Kitty thought
very nice. He was her brother Sans
chum. Johnny told Kitty that his
mamma had brought him the finest
new sleigh, and that his aunt across
the river was going 10 give a party for
The young folks the night before
Thanksgiving. "and I an going 10 take
you and Sam ~ the party ia my new
sleigh" Johnny said.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-11-20

Kitty shook her head. and said: mo,
indeed, you won't Johnny Martin, be-
cause papa would never, never let us
go. You will play games and maybe
dance a little, and that would never
do for us"
But Kitty could not help thinking
about the party, and at last her desire
merged into a resolve TO 60 And
you are going with me-" she said
stoutly TO her brother Sam, two years
older than herself. Yes, you are, and
don't say no! It's just awful for us
20 have no fun at all. We will go to
Nellie Browns to spend the evening.
We haven't been at the Browns for
so long. Surely papa will not refuse
that request because he thinks the
Browns ever so nice. They live nearly
across the river from Johnny's aunt,
and they are going over IN the boat to
the party, 80 Nellie told me-"
But that will be the same as tell
ing a lie, for we viii not spend the
evening with the Browns" weakly
protested Sam.

Roosevelt made an interesting parade
from Fordham to the New York
Geological Park.
These animals, which arrived recent
ly on the steamship Minneapolis, came
to this country consigned to William
Ellis, and are intended as a gift from
the African King to President Roose-
welt. 1t was at first intended to ship
them direct to Washington, but this
plan was changed and the collection
is now safely housed under the care Of
the geological Society in Bronx Park,
where II will remain until further or
ders, and perhaps may eventually form
part of the regular collection.
At the head of the profession was
Saleb Bin Saleb, an attendant, who
came to this country with the ami
mails. In his charge were the two
Galada balloons, natives Of Abyssinia,
their fierce looking faces, with names
resembling those of lions, causing the
boys who followed to give the animals
plenty OF room. These balloons are
considered very rare i'm this country
and are now the only ones of their
kind in the Geological Park.
Led by an attendant of the park and
closely following the strangely clad
Saleb BIN Saleb. came Gravy's zebra,
which Ia particularly fine specimen
OF its kind, no others being on exc
hibition IN this country. The zebra,

ton, Will be kept I'm the park until

The night was not bright enough to
see objects plainly. but Nellie was
very sure that she saw Kitty sitting
behind Sam i'm the dugout.
"Oh. VIM" she cried out in alarm.

possible. but before he came in clear

they did not meet Sam. They pulled

horse go by It's rider. an older son
of the Browns, was going for the doc

called back: Sam Blairs boat turned

Then Kitty went almost wild with
grief and remorse.
She dared not go home for fear Of
what her father would say. Johnny

fully across the river. down which ice
cakes We're floating, and the clock was
striking twelve before Sam, fearing
his fathers stern displeasure, could
coax Kitty to go home. THE Browns
are ready to CO." he urged.
Johnny Martin wanted to take Sam
and Kitty home in his sleigh, and
while they debated over this offer Win
Brown and his sisters, thinking Sam
and Kitty not coming with them, went
on toward the river.
But Sam wanted to see VIII about
something that night, and said: "Ill
hurry on to overtake our crowd, and
you two go on In the sleigh around by
the bridge. and drive back along the
river road on the other side to meet
me. I've just got 20 see Bill again
tonight" So Sam hurried on 10 the
river.
When he reached the moorlng place,
the Browns we're nearly across the riv-
er In their boat, and Sam would not
call to them. but looked for another
boat. There was none In sight but an
