And they are worth all they cost
Treated from a purely business stand
roint it is a good investment. Our
trade with the Philippines is steadily
growing. In 1897, before the Spanish
War, our exports to the Philippines
amounted to 4,597 and our imports
from them to S4.3S3.140. Last year our
eynorts amounted to si,C39909 and ou.'
imnorts to s1l.372,JS4. The agricultural
and industrial development OF the
islands has only just begun. WIN the
uncoyering of their latent wealth this
commerce will largely increase.
The Press goes Oh to show our trad"
with the islands themselves is the least
iuportant foctor of their value. The
chief factor is the bearing OF their pos
session on our part in the trade of the
whole Orient. All of the great COM
mcrciaI nations will be engaged in i
rivalry for it. All IF them had taken
good care to acquire f"othold III the
East. ours came Unexpectedly ana
with the unforeseen
G,v,.lrpmrnts Of thA Spanish War.
The acquisition Of the Philippines
made thu United States an eastern
lrnv ,.r. ari this fact has incidentally
strengthened our position and influence
in III, negotiations and movements Of
TN. last six years. The cost of the
Philippines is nothing compared vita
the value Of their possession as 4
CnjLrl Of vantage. in the struggle for the
vast future trade of the East. The
time will come when the people Of tn"
| 'nitcd states will be united in
I, cugnizing their acquisition as one Of
the most important and significant
steps IN the comm .rcial expansion of
the nation.

H. Gassaway Davis Bolts.

The Democratic candidate for vice.
has vigOr enough to Kick out from un-
der him the platform upon which he
was placed. While that platform and
Democratic oracles like Rourke Cock
ran declare that protection is rob
berry" and "a system of legalized
plundrr." ana while Judge Parker
Wnbhlcs weakly and says that the
much damage to the tariff on account
of the Republican Senate, Henry
Ga.saway Davis stands pat for the
protective tariff which has made his
state rich and prosperous and which
has put it in the Republican column.
At Il Democratic rally in West Fir-
Cinia, last week. he said: II am for a
tariff that will Weld sufficient revenues
for the economical and proper eN-
pcnditur.s of the government, and in
that tariff l believe incidental protec-
ton to our industries is right and
proper | see no reason for changing
my position as stated in Congress in
| lNSs."
| That is simple and positive and re-
/ fryshing. At least one Democrat is
, right on the tariff and is not afraid to
\ Srr,k right ont But how will his
attitudc please the head Of the ticket
and the party managers and the max
/ ers of the st. Louis platform? The
whole thing simply shows the lack OF
| harmony i'll the Democracy and the
uncertainty on all issues which would
, follow its success at the polls. 1t is {
party of factions on all subjects anC
no two of the wings will flop together.

FoIiy's Crown of Folly.

A young woman in this town wen
visiting in New York. She was visit
| ing some suburban people outside O
| town. She went to party and was in
| troduced to a number of girls. They
| seemed nice enough girls and she had
a good time. But when she met then
down in New York they didn't know
her from a rabbit. She afterward heard
they said her father was a storekeeper
And she had a good cry at the cru
city Of woman in general. She said she
| would die before she would treat a dog
that way.
But she came home and was visit
ing at a house where a girl was work
ing for her living. She and the girl and
the other girls at the house had good
time one afternoon together. And then
few days later the proud store
keepers daughter sailed down town in
hel fluffy white duds and passed the
girl she had met few days before
and cut her dead. Could she be speak
ing to every hired girl she met on the
street?
girl went home and had a good cry.
-hliti Sllt Nouluil u Cit u Noso bioN " os
And she went to a dance in the cOun-
try where they move the things out
from the front room and the kitchen,
and put the fiddler and the caller-off in
the bedroom door. And she met a big
footed Dutch country girl who danced
on her heels and threw the boys
around like sacks of flour. And the
country girl thought the city girl with
her big hat and town clothes was just
the sweetest thing out of heaven. And
when the country girl came to town
looking like a fright one Saturday
night, she ran into the city girl and
her chum from the West side on a pa
rade with a dapper little clerk and a
pretty looking tinhorn gambler whom
all the girls at the shirt waist dance
said was lust dead SWELL" And do
you think the town girl spoke to the
big footed country girl with her fun
ny clothes on?
Not on your tintype. She turned her
face the other way and she and the
other girl and the two boys sailed by
prouder than a peacock.
And so it goes. Cruelty and pride and
vanity stabbing their way through the
world. Women are worse than men.
Men accept one another for what they
are really worth. A rich man who has
honestly earned his money thinks moth
ing of talking to someone's hired man.
The railroad brakeman and the rail-
road president have relations that their
wives never could assume-providing
their wives are fools. A man is proud
of the fact that he has worked with
his hands and come up in the world
There was a woman at the federation
of clubs last spring who was once head
waiter at the Whitney hotel, in Empo-
ria. and though she was a cultivated,
honest woman, she was ashamed of it,
and if the Gazette had printed the fact
at the time the federation would have
mobbed the Office.
Now, why: If her husband had once
been porter at the Whitney and had
made money, he would have been proud
of his rise. Women are funny This IS
funny world.-Emporia Gazette.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

The same woman that only wash
es' her hair suspects her friends OF
dyeing theirs.
When her ambition is to be known as
a good woman she is generation
beyond her teens.
A woman can guess out a situation
nine times out of ten where she would
miss it every time reasoning.
A woman gets so earnest about con-
vincing her friends how smart her
husband is that she almost believes it
herself.
When a boy is moody over whether
he has been found out for playing
hockey his mother thinks he is getting
religion.-New York Press.

The Cost of the Philippines.

The Philadelphia Press gets after
Judge Parker i'll very vigorous fashion
fer the stlpcudous cxaCgcration he in
dulgcd III when he declared in his
speech Of acceptance that the Philip
pines had cost the United States $500
900 in addition to the 10000. oo0 We
paid Spain. His error was one which
no publ, man with any sense of re-
sponsihlity has any excuse for max
ing. Secretary Taft corrected him by
saying that the sum did not exceed
$50. .ooo.0oo.
But the Press shows even this figure
is excessive. Senator Foraker. who
has made a special study of Philippine
matters. says that the amount of all
expenditures. in addition to what we
paid Spain. properly chargcable to the
annexation Of the Philippines, does not
reach $150. .O00. 600. For the last two
years they have been practically self
supporting. and this condition will
doubtless continue. Their own reve-
nurs are sufficient to meet all the ex-
rcnsc of their government. and the
maintenance of the few regulars re-
quired costs no more there than here.
Senator Foraker's statement is con-
firmcd by the official documents The
Secretary of War reported TO the Sem
at i'll 190. that the amount Of money
expended and the amount for which
the government of the United States is
liable on account of the Philippines
aggregated sl70.S26,5S6. The secretary
added that considerable part Of this
MAS for valuable property of more or
less permanent character. The actual
cost of the Philippines, instead of being
$3.50, ,00o, 900, as Judge Parker wildly

No more men are wanted by Uncle
sam in the infantry and cavalry
branches Of the L. :. army for three
years. This is the announcement now
being given out at the Portland re-
cruiting office. These two DEPART
ments Of the service have all the men
wanted; for the coast and light artiI-
lcry only will men be received. The
announcement that fewer men would
be wanted has been received with a
good deal of satisfaction by the men
at the Portland station and at the
other stations throughout the State.
There has been a good deal of extra
hustling here in Maine since Lieut..
VIM. r. Harrison took charge of the
enlisting of the men. Men after men
have presented themselves Many
have been rejected and many have
been accepted: the rejections of course
were much more numerous than the
enlistments. Up to this month, the
station at Portland has not only held
all the other stations in the State, but
has kept ahead of New York. Phila-
delphia and the other big posts. Dur
ing September. however. this city has
fallen off little. but will soon regain
its own. Though the summer is the
OFF time for enlistments, the men at the
different stations in the State have
been Kept busy with applicants for
positions in the army. The four sta
tons in the State during the time since
June up to Sept 20 have enlisted and
rejected the following numbers:
