against corporation control and is brave and
fearless in the discharge of his duty. But
Mr.. Jerome is not stronger than the great
public sentiment for rOgresSive-radical,
it may be called government. 1t would seem
to an observer that the candidate who be-
lieyes in and stands upon the platform OF
government of the democratic party as typi-
fed by Mr.. Bryan is in stronger position
than the candidate who goes before the peo-
pie as an individual divorced from all save
his own yiews.-Buffalo Evening Times.
The day will come in New York and other
cities when men will be elected to local Offices
exclusively because of their records or sup
posed qualifications. Their views as to ques-
tions on which national parties Jerome may
be able to get with comparative ease the
1000 names he wants, but thus far the number
of candidates by petition" who have met with
popular favor is painfully small. The bulk
of the voters still give the preference to the
men whom the bosses have labeled regular"
If Mr. Jerome shall run it will be kind OF
forlorn hope attack on the breastworks OF
"regularity." But his candidacy will enliven
the campaign. He will make singing
speeches that will be read. He will do some-
thing to popularize the principle that ma
tiOnal politics has no place in local elections.
Chicago Tribune
This declaration of independence supple
ments most fttingly the bravery which Mr.
Jerome has displayed in the administration
of his important official trust His affirmation
of loyalty to the cause of the people ought to
invite a reciprocal demonstration of popular
support. In the general movement for the
elimination of graft which is gathering mo-
mentum throughout the country, the munich
pality of New York. with it's enormous popu-
lation and with commercial and fiduciary in
terests affecting the nation, should play con-
spicuous part. 1t has been put in the way
of fulfilling this vital obligation largely
through the efforts Of Mr.. Jerome, whose
nomination for another term as district at
torney would be vastly more important to the
public than to himself-Kansas City Star.

DANGER IN FEDERAL REGULATION

Federal regulation of insurance is advocated
BY James M. Beck, former assistant attorney
general at Washington. Recognizing that the
United States supreme court has ruled that in
surance Is not commerce and, therefore, that con-
gress has no power to regulate interstate insur-
ance, he fayors the adoption of a constitutional
The New York World, however thinks federal
regulation neither necessary nor desirable:
The states have plenary power to pro-
tect their citizens against abuses in life in
surance. If the New York companies do not
remedy their methods the insurance depart
ments of the several states have authority to
exclude these companies from doing business
in their states. The regulation of life insur-
ance is now in the hands of the direct repre-
sentatives OF the people in every state. 1t
should be left there. The closer it is to the
people the better it will be; the further it is
from the people the worse it will be. Does
anybody believe that with Depews and Dry
dens and Bulkeeys in the United States SEN
ate, and with retained attorneys of railway
corporations having intimate financial rela-
tiOns with the insurance trust in both houses,
congress would investigate Equitable corrup-
tion? 1t would be sorry day for the people
OF the country if the federal government took
over the supervision of life insurance, and the
companies could make their arrangements
with the national committees of two great
parties when the time came to collect cam
paign fund The agitation in favor of federal
supervision originate. with the companies
themselves. They are opposed to what they
are pleased to term the hampering restric-
tions of the several states. The World does
not believe that the American people are
opposed to these restrictions, or that they
desire to establish farreaching national
alliance between political corruption and life
insurance corruption. 1t cannot believe that
they are clamoring for so sinister a step in
the direction of Capitalization

1t is full time surely for congress to give
heed to the wise and noble admonition Of
President Mckinley in his last speech, which
proved his farewell message to the American
people. For he had hardly delivered it be-
fore he was struck down by an assassin, and
his last words are thus consecrated by the
blood of his martyrdom. "The period of ex-
clusiveness," he said, 'fs past The expansion
of our trade and commerce is the pressing

Nearly S4 per cent of Cuba's exports now
go to the United States against 7S per cent
in 1903. The islands outgoing trade is con-
sidering Europe less and America more. That
may easily lead to greater consideration of
America and less of Europe in respect to the
incoming trade of Cuba. And it does appar-
emily, ilready; for while, absolutely consid-
cred, exports to the United States increased
little more largely than imports from the
United States, relatively there was greater
gain for the latter-274 per cent increase in
United States exports to Cuba and less than
"a per cent increase in imports from Cuba

cRuELTlEs STILL PRAcTlcED

Present accounts of cruelties practiced BY
in the Philippines have aroused mucl
that is distinctly pessimistic with refer
'nce to our ability to rightly govern colonies:
While the people of the United States
have been from time to time assured that
tranquility obtained on the islands, the hard
ships and infamies of the recommendation
camp were being practiced upon the inhabi-
tants of many districts. This means that the
people have been taken from their homes,
that their fields were abandoned that they
were prevented from pursuing their ordinary
occupations, that they were herded like cat
tie in these camps exposed to the elements
and forced to endure endless sufferings
These victims are not criminals, they are not
even charged with crime, but are forced to
undergo the punishment of criminals in order
that ths authorities may be able to deal with
a small number of Ladrones who really are
outlaws and plunderers. Torture practiced
by American officers upon native members of
the constabulary because it was fancied that
they were not active enough, are so brutal
as to make the blood run cold with horror
Frebrands applied to the stomach and to
the soles of the feet, teeth loosened and other
lndignitieS are recorded as contributing to the
cause of unrest which is found among the
natives 1t is to be hoped that Secretary
Taft may be able to settle the disturbance
for the good of all concerned, before open
war is announced.

There is tariff unrest throughout Europe,

JERoME's INDEPENDENCE

The announcement by William Travers Je.
rome, district attorney in New York City, that
he will be candidate for reelection as an inde-
pendent and by petition is attracting much atten-
ion, as it is notable protest against party nomi-
nation, which Mr.. Jerome considers boss nomina-
tiOn and domination:
1t is truly "a test case" that Mr.. Jerome
making. Less a test case of his persona4
merits than the independence of the people
OF New York county. He is asking them less
to elect him than to prove their power of
control over their own votes. 1t is precisely
because the politicians have learned to fear
him. because he has taught them that he can
not be influenced, that he is the fitting leader
in such a fight 1t would be a political
calamity to lose Mr.. Jerome in the Office of
district attorney and to replace him with
ready-made candidate of the type of Fellows
or Gardiner 1t would doubly be calamity
to lose him on the platform he has drawn
Yet if he could be elected mayor as sworn

TARIFF AGAIN AN ISSUE

That the tariff question has again become al
Issue of the first Importance cannot be doubted
II Is now being more generally discussed than a
patters will find little soace in the almost unani
nous demand for tariff reform
If the administration has been frightened
by the Home Market club into canceling the
engagements of two OF it's cabinet officers to
speak at the coming reciprocity conference
at Chicago it still retains courage enough as
against the club to issue statement regard
ing trade with Cuba, which constitutes a
pretty strong practical argument in favor OF
reciprocity. The trade agreement with Cuba
took effect December 7, 1908, and the returns
of Cuban commerce for the calendar year
1904-under reciprocity-are now at hand.
We are thus able to measure the immediate
effects of the agreement First are given the
merchandise imports into Cuba for the reci-
procity year in comparison with the non
reciprocity year of 1903:

HINTS FOR CLEANING.

Rub grass stains with molasses before
washing and they will come out without
difficulty.
Hot milk is more effective in remov-
ing fruit stains than boiling water
White spots on furniture will usually
disappear if they are first rubbed with
OIL then with diluted alcohol.
Salt dissolved in alcohol will often re-
move grease spots from clothing.
To clean water bottles, cruets, etc,
first wash them, then partly fill with
crushed eggshells, pour in little warm
soap suds, shake we'll, then rinse with
clear cold water and invert the articles
to dry.
Stains on muslin which have been
made by sewing machine oil can be re-
moved with liquid ammonia if it is APP
piled before the garment is washed.
A piece of gum camphor placed in the
closet will keep steel ornaments from
furnishing.
To remove candlewax, scrape first
with knife, then place blotting paper
on the spot, hold hot iron on the pa
per until the oily substance is absorbed.
A good paste for cleaning brass may
be made of rotten stone and oil. APP
ply with soft cloth, let remain one
hour, then rub vigorously.
Cold tea is excellent for cleaning
grained wood.
To clean bamboo furniture, use a
