For a Campaign Object Lesson.

st. Louis Post Dispatch.
Senior Vicente Nepomuceno, a mem
Der of the Philippine honorary commis-
sion, now in St. Louis, declares that
the so-called Philippine village at the
Fair is nothing more than coup of
Machievelism on the part OF the re-
publican administration.
"Tbere are 5000, 900 people In the
Philippines, said Senor Nepomuceno,
through an interpreter, to the Post
Dispatch, sand o. these 100000 are
civilized Christians, orderly, perce-
loving and law.abding.
The remaining 100000 are made
up from among the Moros, Negritos
and Igorrotes, the anthropolds, who
live in the mountains in an uncivllized
state, and who, like all backward and
nom progressive races, are rapidly
dying out.
"The Moros, NegritC S and Igorrotes
no more represent the people of the
Phhippine, than Ihe dying Indian rep
resents the American people, and the
Americans would resent such an ex-
hbition far more vigorously than we
have.
''When the Filipinos learned that
tbese fragmentary tribes were being
brought to this country to represent
; the islgnds at the Fair, mass
meeting was held and a protest was
sent to Gov. Taft,
''It was Of no avail, but as sort of
sophie Philippine honorar, commission
was appointed and 80 representative
citizens were named to tour the United
States. OF course, the damage had
been done; the impression has gone
abroad that we are barbarians; that
we eat dog and all that sort Of thing,
and no matter how long we stay here
we cannot convince the people to the
contrary.
"The Filipino people are being pre-
posterously represented at the Fair.

Madame Z. Maria Albanesi, the

leader of a class of writers who are
against the introspective, cynica',
morbid and dismal type Of novel that
has held the front IN literature for the
last few years. She frankly declares
for a return of the old-fashioned love
story, set however, in a modern May
fair environment. "Susannah, -" with
its wholesome love and old-fashioned
love interest, re presents the authors
ideas in this regard. 1t has made an
immediate success IN America, and is
now in its third edition In England; an
evidence that there are many readers
who share the authors ideas.
