Some years ago while at work, I fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned

would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging

were prompt and gratifying: It took

with Santo Domingo that was taken with
Cuba. Speaking of the Philippines, he
said that on the whole he approved Of the

said he We have done well so far How
ever, there is need of more liberal treat
ment of the Filipinos m the matter of tariffs.
When we severed them from the Spanish
Empire we took away their best market
because they had been granted certain
lucrative trading privileges on account Of
being Spanish dependency. II is hardly
fairnot TO give them something worth while
in return. Either we should admit their
sugar and hemp free. or the duty should
not be more than IS per cent
President SChurman said that a society
had been organized recently called THE

he was elected its president. It's purposes
are To- give the Filipinos larger measure
