Yet, 20 far az even the back country
people Of Japan are concerned. the
railways have been Of great value In
their social and industrial develop
ment.
A similar result would assuredly fol-
low in the Philippines. The special
question Is the time which will be re-
quired for a corresponding emancipa-
ton in the Philippines. making the
railways of Luzon profitable as COM
mercial enterprises. 1t would be I'M
reasonable to expect them to pay from
the start. Some government provision
FOR an indefinite period seems neces-
sary. In view of the varied interests
of the United States in the whole Phil
ipp!ne problem. and the complications
and possible dangers involved, there
remains little room for doubt that the
construction of the proposed lines
would be a measure Of economy, even
though the proper maintenance should
require for time an annual appropria-
ton from the United States treasury.

OHIO TOWN HAS A TRAMP MAYOR
A Joke on Election Day Turned Out
Seriously for Amesviiie.

INDIANAPOLIS News: The politicians of
Amesville. o.. learned that it does not
ray To indulge in practical Jokes in the
election of mayor They tried 1t, and as
a result the town has for mayor man
who was known as n tramp. who had
served time in the Cincinnati workhouse.
The politicians thought 1t would he
good joke In nominate The tramp for
mayor. The people theught the Joke SO
good that they followed the precedent ana
elected. Then they all turned to the gov
crnor and petltioned him to set aside the
election on the ground that III was Illegal.
The lawyers and the best representatives
of the town went to Columbus last week
to lay their pet, ton before the governor.
and after hearing them Governor Nash
said he could see no cause for his inter-
ference.
Amesville Is in Athens county. and
town of about 1000 inhabitants. Last
years mayor, Edward Clark, was not ex-
actly popular In Amesville. and his cleo
ticn against the strong candidate named
to oppose him was impossible. So his
crowd hit upon plan to keep him in
office by nominating somebody as a
joke" who should afterward prove In
eligible and be removed, allowing the In
cumbent to retain office for another year.
At the convention there was a prear-
ranged deadlock and as compromise the
name of one Alonzo II. Weed, dwarf
tramp. just out of the Cincinnati work
house, was offered, and he was almost
unanimously chosen, and his name went
on the ticket. Weed, who is known az
! Midget" among the tourist fraternity,
was to receive gallon Jug of the choic
est rye whisky If he would agree not to
take drink until after election, and until
his case should be decided by Governor
Nash. Pending the decision he was to
be kept In luxury in a boarding house.
and was to be given clean linen and new.
clothes.
The compact was kept and Weed wal,
elected as huge Joke" OF course, TIL,
people generally didn't know of the dea
to keep the old mayor in office, but thee,
were stampeded by what they considered!
huge Joke, and Simply voted for Weeu
with the idea that the opposition candi
date would easily get enough votes to b.,
elected.
But the dwarf tramp was elected anil
then a long Est OF fearful" charge,
were filed with Governor Nash. Thes,
were signed by Acting Mayor Clark.
Councilmen Henry and Beasley, anil
Clerk McCune. and related that Weed,
| habits We're quite unfit for such a dignl.
lied position as mayor of Amesvile Thas
he was a person of Incorporate habit
and that his only claim to residence IL,
ono was the fact that he had Just spen
fourteen months in the workhouse a
| Cincinnati.
The mayors counsel admitted eyery
specification In the complaint but h
held that they all related to acts com
mitted prior to the election and the mi,
nlclpal code recognized charges against !.
MAYOR only such as were committe
wh.le IN office, and in this stand Gov
ernor Nash fully concurred The charge
