MANILA's WELCOME TO TAFT
Reception to Former Governor Shows
the Fallacy Of Democrats
Assertions.

Americans cannot fail to be gratified
with the warm and obviously spon-
taneous welcome given to Secretary
Taft on his recent return to the Philip.
pine islands, where he was known TO all
as the chief representative of the au-
thority OF the United States during q
long and in many respects most critical
and trying period.
During his term as governor Of that
dependency, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. he had often felt II his duty to stand
as the representative Of what one may
call the iron hand, and while always up
holding the application of liberal JUS
tice he had proved himself as an officer
of the law representing the sovereign
ty of the United States entirely antag-
onistic to the "scuttle policy" and the
weak sentimentalism or our anti-imper-
ialists of the ultra New England con-
science type. This is said without any
want of respect for the real New Eng
land conscience grounded In real man
hood.
In the uncompromisingly judicial at
had, and he thoroughly convinced the
Filipino people that he had, the equally
firm and considerate support Of the ma
tional administration. The respect,
confidence and good understanding
which this reception shows forth prove
that the island people fully appreciate
him and the solid justice and intelli-
gsnce of his aims and methods.
The anii-imperialists themselves are
always insisting that the American ele-
ment in the island population is small,
and the more truth there may be in the
statement the stronger is the inherent
proof it furnishes that the warmth Of
this reception cannot be at all detracted
from as being given by a crowd of Amer
lean retaifers and interested exploiters.
That the military force of the govern
ment would figure conspicuously in the
reception given to the former governor,
row secretary of war, was foregone
Common decency demand
ed it. But It could not have been criti-
cised had 1t been merely ceremonious,
and there was no reason why the Fill
Pine people should take any part in it
which they did not wish to take. No
body would have found fault with them
especially had they chosen to be merely
interested as Individuals in a casual
way.
1t appears, however, that the military
part Of the reception was something
warmer than ceremony. and one may
suppose. from accounts of the thirty and
odd Filipino organizations that partici-
pated. that the military features were
neither the largest nor the warmest.
These societies, made up of the best
classes of the natives. were under no
sort of obligation as organizations any
more than their members as individuals
to take public part in the festivities, and
that they did so is very significant fact.
The whole occasion, spontaneously
offered among people which the anti
imperialists are continually telling US
are oppressed and discontinued and
verging on something worse, is one in
which Secretary Taft, the national ad-
ministration and the nation itself may
well see reason for feeling genuine
qualification.
Tyrants, wrongdoers. exploiters.
blunderers, are not accorded such
honors anywhere.

Gratitude Well Expressed.

Sault St. Marie, Mich, Aug l4th.-Mr.

whose home is at 500 Anne street, this
city, makes the following statement:-

pains. Some said it was Lumbago, others
Sciatica, and others again Rheumatism.
A few of my friends suggested that it was
lead poison, but whatever it was it gave
me a great deal Of pain, in fact, almost
completely crippled me. i had to use two
canes to walk about, and even then it was
a very painful task
"a friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and begon the treatment.
After i had used the FIRST box l was able
to throw away one a. the canes and was
considerably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up so that i could go
about free from pain without any assist
ance, and very soon after / was complete
ly cured, well and happy, without pain
or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed
to go right to the spot in my case, and
they will always have my greatest praise. "

Time to Drop It.

The Springfield Union, in seeking
Canadian reciprocity sentiment, has

ity sentiment. 1t is we'll for the Union
to find this out for itself. The rest of

Canada wants no treaty, and II she did
It would be one of such pronounced
advantage to her that we would not

this talk and let 1t be confined to Foss

We are selling to Canada now twice
as much as we buy from her. A reel

On May 9th, Booker 1. Wash
ington, speaking at the College OF
Phys. clans and Surgeons, in Phil
adelphia, said that the members
of his race should stay in the
South. Inasmuch, however, as a
good many of them had already
come North, something oughS to
be done, he thought, by kindly
and intelligent white people to inn
prove the situation of the blacks
in the northern section of the
country. He pointed out that
only two other cities in the Union
had larger negro population
than had Philadelphia, and the
number of blacks in the City of
BrotLerly Love is continually In
creasing. AS things are now the
newcomers find them selves in a
discouraging environment. Many
colored people who are sound IN
body and morals when they ar
rive from the South in Philadel-
phia find themselves surrounded
in their new place of residence by
temptations to which they are
not accustomed. They are sub
iected also to unexpected indus
trial disabilities. In parts of th 9
South the coIored man and the
white man may be found working
together at the same carpenters
bench and the same factory. In
Philadelphia and other Northern
cities, on the other hand, the
whites are disposed to shut out
from employment even those ne
oroes who are not fitted for work.

AlIee.d Leakage in Cotton Report.

The Agricultural Department
has fl iaally decided to make thor
ough investigate n into the char
ges brought by Secretary Cheat
heam OF the Southern Cotton
Grow srs' Association, that the
last report of the Department OF
Agriculture on the cotton acre :
age and condition WIS psrm itted
to leak out in advance. The de-.
tails of the charges have not been
made public, but in a general
way it is said that they include the
claim that parties in New York
have been able to secure advance
information that has been used to
the injury of the cotton industry
generally.
The fact that one of the princi-
pei officials connected With the
statistical work has been suspend
ed pending The investigation to
be made proves that the Secre-
tary of Agricultural has at last
taken serious view of the char
ges, and that full and thorough
. =.
investigation is to be made. This
is all that the representative of
| The Southern Cotton Grower s.
Association ask, and it is clears
| ~ what the public is entitled to
lexpect.
The Government cotton reports
are of great Importance, and it is
essential that they should not be
given out until all parts Of the
country can cure the informa-
ton simultaneously. Even a few
moments of advance information
would give certain interests an IN
calculable advantage aud work
| great injury to others. La order
that the Government reports may
command the full cent ience that
they are entitled to, the public
must be assured that they are
entirely Tree from speculative
! control and are made public inn
partially to the whole country at
the same time.

promply resigned when the King
vetoed the consular bill. The
formation of another cabinet un-
der the circumstances is mani
fest lmpossibility, which the King
recognized when refusing 10 ac.
cept the designations. The pee
pie are wildly in support OF the
cabinet, and are insisting on in.
dependence and the election of a
President Or of a Danish prince
as King. As Norway was Dan
ish possession before the union
with Sweden, the taking up of .
Danish prince would be merely
going back to an olG allegiance.
King Oscar has been reported as
saying that he would not fight to
preserve the union, and his known
peaceful disposition falls in with
the statement; but disuniOn might
not be tranquil operation WHEEL
it is finally put to the test.
However, it is not likely that
the disruption, of the union will
result in war between the two
countries for the reason that Nor
way has signified it's willingness
to elect as king prince OF the
house of King Oscar of Sweden,
provided he will rellnquish the
idea of succession TO the Swedish
throne. The only fear seems to
be that the disruption may afford
an opening for the ABSORPTION
of one or both countr 'es by the
ambitious and powerful nations
ef Europe. Its well known that
for years Russia has looked with
hungry eyes on the united king
dom of Norway and Sweden be-
cause of the outlet which would
be seucred and which the Gar is
so sorely in need of, but in her
present state of defeat and huml|-
iation and with the fires of revo-
Ilntion burning under her feet the
acquisition of Norway and Sweden
in spite of the opportunity for .
coup which she presents, is i'm
possible. Besides, movem ent In
that direction would result in a

The Parting Of Sweden and Norway.

The union Of Sweden and Nor.
way under one kingdom which
has existed for ninety years has
been dissolved by the action OF
the Norwe gian Storthing in de-
claring Norway to be an indepen-
dent and sovereign State, and es-
tablishing provisional govern
ment which will rule until q new
king is chosen The crises which
resulted in the disruption OF the
union was brought on by the de-
mand of Norway for a consular
system of its OVID independent OF
that of Swden. While this does
not appear to be a really vital
issue from the American point OF
view, the Norwegians, to q man,
have taken the matter to heart
and when Oscar refused to ap-
prove the consular bill immediate
ly insisted on a declaration OF in
dependence of Sweden, which
was followed by the resignation
of the Norwegian ministry.
According to the Constitution
oi the united countries, Norway
is entitled to q separate ministry
and parliament, and the cabinet
