is in receipt of the first report of William Alex
ander Sutherland, the agent in charge of the Fill
pino students in the United States In August of
last year the Philippine commission passed an act
providing for the education of number of Fill
pinos in the United States at the expense of the
lnsular government. The boys wore carefully Sc
lected by examination, both mental and physical,
from thirty three provinces, and English was one
of the studies in which they were obliged to have
good grades. Ninety-six students embarked Oct
10, 1908 and upon arrival in the United States
were placed III California schools.
The report concludes with the following lam
guage: 1T is especially desired to call the atten-
ton of the educational authorities of the Philippine
islands to the necessity in the selection of stu
dents to be sent to America for exercising the
greatest care The standard raised by those who
have already come to America should be upheld;
the exceedingly favorable impression created by the
members of the first expedition without exception,
should not be impaired. The Filipino students now
here are cited continually by parents and by teach
ers to their young American associates as models
of gentleness thoughtful politeness, studiousness
and of seriousness of purpose"

JEWISH OPPOSITION TO MIXED MAP
RACES

Jews are by no means the only people who den
recate mixed marriages, says the London Jewish
World. You will not find any one in authority in
the Protestant faith who would encourage mar
riage of that kind, and Roman Catholics are
stronger the point, that is to say marriages be-
tween PrOtestants and Roman Catholics and vice
versa.
The reason is clear. Religion and love of coun-
try are the deepest sentiments when fully devel-
oped, and mixed marriage of any kind simply
introduces into the household very probable root
of discord, if not In the early years, later There
are many cases where it is not So but taken in the
mass they to be attributed rather to the per-
sonal qualities of the parties, to forbearance and
restraint and, it is fair to say, to love enduring
Apart from any religious question, the primary
essential for happy united life is a certain iden
tity of thought interests and aspirations; and the
discordant element need not come solely from dif-
ferent views On religion, although that is likely to
recur in the family in acute form, whereas
other questions may by common consent be placed
in the background.
Unless a couple are likely to agree on the
main questions of life, only a miracle can save.

RATIONS RESTORED.

The Indian appropriation bill passed the SEN
ate today. The bill contains an item which makes
it impossible for the Indian department, in the ds
tribution of rations to Indians who receive such
rations from the government, to discriminate
against Indian children attending mission schools.
The Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions de-
sires to acknowledge its obligations to Representa-
tives Sherman and Fitzgerald of New York Curtis
of Kansas, Brown of Wisconsin, Burke of South
Dakota, BouteI of Illinois and MOrrel of Penn
sylvana, and to Senators Aldrich of Rhode Island,
Platt of Connecticut, Quay and Penrose of Penn
sylvania, Teller Of Colorado and Dubois of Idaho,
for the incorporation IN the Indian appropriation
bill of the rations item and its acceptance by both
houses of congress. There was opposition what
ever the measure in the senate, and in the house
the only man who placed himself on record against
it was Mr.. Stephens of Texas.
The restoration of the rations is due chiefly
to Senator Aldrieh and Representative Sherman.

THOU SHAFT NOT STEAL!

Measured by the admissions and methods of
those engaged therein, what is business but a sys-
tenn of overreaching system of deception in buy

uring of only little to each of many customers
but which in the aggregate brings a large profit.
What is this but fraud2
Again, we hear the complaint that employers
do not pay their laborers aud withhold the wages
OF their servants. That advantage is taken of the
needy and that rack rents are the custom in some
localities That employees shirk their duties. bur

propriate the property of their employers to make
up what they regard an insufficient salary for
their services. Yet what is this but robbery and
theft! All offend against the commandment BY

of man to say of course he is good, honest, re-

The light of truth and fact seems
to have penetrated the intellectuals

long period of hankering after Cana
dian reciprocity, after having en-
ployed many columns of editorial
space in urging a wide open policy of
free trade in articles which can be
produced more cheaply in Canada than
In the United States, the Register at
last sees the situation as it is and
concludes that Canadian reciprocity
Is an impossibility under present con-
ditions. Undoubtedly. For more than
two years past these conditions have
been perfectly obvious to those who
opened their eyes to see Repeatedly
It has been pointed out by the OPP
ponents of competitive reciprocity
that Canada did not want and would
not consent to any trade arrangement
other than the free interchange of
natural products; that Canada was
bent upon building up her own indus
tries and not upon crushing them by
inviting increased competition from
the United States; that reciprocity
In natural products only was not to
be thought of, unless the Republican
party was prepared to take the conse-
quences of depriving the farmers of
the United States of the direct bene-
fits which they now derive from the
tariff on competitive agricultural prod
ucts; that, in short, Canadian reci-
procity was a closed book. All this
has been pointed out over and over
again. 1t is the absolute truth and

with a chip on each shoulder and
bullying and browbeating every one
