PREACHER KNOWN HERE,
Mother Instance that Abuse
Will Not Do.

Fulton, Mo-, April 4.-The
Rev. Frank @. Tyrrell, pastor Of
the Mount Uabanne Christian
church of st. Louis, and Mayor
James A. Reed spoke in Fulton to-
day. Mr.. Tyrrell dwelt on the st.
Louis primaries aud State issues,
while Mr.. Reed spoke in the inter-
terest of his candidacy for Coy
ernor.
Mr.. Tyrrell spoke in the open
air from the Courthouse steps to
an audience of 800 persons, and
Mr.. Reeds address was delivered
in the court room where Edward
Butler of st. Louis was tried a few
months ago.
Mr.. Reed began at l O'Clock as
announced. and Mr.. Tyrell began
at = o'clock. Reed was about half
thru with his speech when Mr..
Tyrrell began and one or two of
the audience, arising to leave, the
Kansas City Mayor said: If any
more Of you want to go out to
hear that Republican speak, I'll
wait on you"
This speech cost Mr.. Reed full
half Of his audience, and then he
bitterly denounced the action of
the audience as Insulting"
Doctor Tbrrell opened his address
by reading a letter concerning the
Kansas City primaries. of March
10, written by Probate Judge
Guinotte, who was assaulted at the
polls. The letter was read in an
swer to Mr.. Reeds assertion that
the stories concerning the primar-
les were monstrous absurdities.
To-day was the day of the
monthly stock sale, and also the
day of the annual horse show, and
with the political features to draw
a crowd, full 5000 Galloway
farmers were here.
The day was devoted to the dis
cussion of politics.
The Folk men are jubilant over
the outcome of the day and now
claim the county by a large major
ity, while the followers of Mr.,
Reed, who seems to be the man
WHO will oppose Folk in this coun-
ty, are making no claims.

Am AuDRAIN BOY.
Discusses the Philippines
Thinks We Should
Help Them.


ly of Audrain county, who has re-
turned to his st. Louis home on a
visit, believes that the islands are
not yet ready for self-government.
He does not believe that the gov
eminent of the islands, nor the
question of possession or autonO-
my should be made an issue in the
coming Presidential campaign, but
believes that the islands should
not be allowed to reach, under the
present form of government, a pO-
sitiOn which would qualify them
for self-government.
Judge Wiley is the guest of
his brother, X. P. Whitley, of No.
$685. Vernon avenue. This is the
Attorney Generals first visit to
st. Louis since he left here to take
up his Federal position. He will
go to Washington D. c., to argue
several cases before the Supreme
Court.
The Worlds Fair he said,
is attracting much attention in
the Philippines. Interest is not
only felt by the American resi-
dents, but also by the natives,
many of whom will attend. Am ong
these will be Chief Justice Caya-
tOno Arallanr and many of the
Governors of the Provinces.
'Filipinos of all classes are
striving to make their exhibit a
notable one, and there is no reason
to doubt that it will be.
THE American people as rule
do not appear to realize what a
large country we have over there.
There nearly 100000 Christian
inhabitants beside the Moros on
the Islands, ~
What will be the effect of the
Philippine issue in the coming
Presidential campaign7"was asked.
That is difficult to venture q
prediction upon. l believe that
the idea advanced by many Of our
prominent and conscientious
public men-Pre sident Elliot, of
Harvard, for e-that the
islands should be made free, as
Cuba is, should not receive recog-
milton in the platforms of the par
ties.
The Philippines were won by a
war which was brought on by the
action of both parties.
h They are now held by a treaty
which was ratified by votes of
both Republican and Democratic
Legislators, and had it not been
for the efforts of prominent Demo-
Gratis, it would probably have been
ratified.
Therefore it appears to me
that the PHILIPPINE question should
not be made a political issue. 1t
should rather be a question of
practical administration.
THE question is not, shall we
: keep the islands9 1t is, how shall
, we best govern them9 1t is not,
did we do right in taking themG
1t is, what is the best way to up
lift themi
The Philippines have no place
in partisan politics. The tendency
of their present government has
been to prefer the Filipinos them
selves for officers, when they show
the capacity, and when outsiders
are appointed, politics has not
been the governing factor in the
! choice Of them.
There are more Democrats than
Republicans in the judicial offices
j The Filipinos are not yet capable
, of governing themselves, and we
! should help them "
