BREAKERS AHEAD.

Paris Post-Intelligencer.l
The prospects before the Repub-
lican party are not as charming as
the leaders desire. The declara-
tion OF, President Roosevelt in fa-
vor of railroad rate regulation and
moderate tariff revision, taken in
connection with the speech of Sec
retary Taft before the Ohio State
convention, shows that these lead
ers of the party have fully made
up their minds to take the bull by
the horns and attempt to do some
thing for the relief of the country
as they understand it, irrespective
of the opposition of tn" e"standpat"
element of their party. These re-
forms are sure to prove popular
with the people, but are just as
sure to meet with violent opposi-
tion from members OF Congress
who were elected to represent pro-
tected industries and the trusts
generally.
In addition to these troubles
there are the Treasury deficit, the
Panama Canal difficulties, the trea-
ties unratified, the labor strikes and
other disturbing problems to yex

LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Is Rather Earring to a Soldier Boy From
Atlanta. Georgia.

A former Atlanta, Ga, boy who
has served with the army in the
Philippine Islands, gives the Con-
stitution the following description
of our possessions in the Orient:
"The Philippines are a bunch
of trouble, death and destruction,
gathered together on the western
horizon of civilization. They are
bounded on the north by rocks and
devastation, onthe eastby typhoons
and hurricanes, on the south by
cannibals and earthquakes and on
the west by sharks and smugglers.
"The islands are composed of
mud and mountains, and are chief
ly noted for mosquitoes, ants, flies,
heas, bats, Lizards, snakes, taran-
tulas, scorpions, centipedes, carl
bou and alligators, and by the way,
there is plenty of smallpox, beri-
beri, leprosy, cholera and bubonic
plague. Malarial fever is SO prev
alent that on many occasions the
islands have been shaken by the
vibrations of the population.
"The soil is very rich and pro-
duces crops of sugar, rice, hemp,
tobacco, instruction, disease, hell
and foul aroma. The total popu-
lation of the islands, including
everything, is 8O,0O0,0O0 caribou,
80,000,000 people and 80,000,000
roosters.
"The chief industries of the is
lands are cock fighting, stealing
and making bolos. The houses
and dress of the people are very
attractive and consist of transpar-i
ency and landscape.
"The Philippine wedding ser
vice is very impressive, especially
the clause in which the wife is CIV
en- the privilege of doing as much
work as the husband desires.
"The principal diet Of the Phil
ippines is rice and fish, fish and
rice, rice and fried fish, fish and
fried fish, stewed fish and boiled
rice, stewed rice and, boiled fish
and baked fish and rice.
"The Philippines would be an
appropriate present to a deadly
enemy. The native is a friend at
the point of a bayonet. Theislands
in general are the most God-forsa-
ken, cannibalized, Aguinaldo-in-
fectedi hole on the face of Gods
green earth.
"The above statement may seem
like a joke, but it is the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, so help
me Moses"
