Poor Shakespeare We thought that

least that he wrote Romeo and JUL
let" In story entitled THE Dead
Mans Chest" in the September issue
of Appletons Booklovers' Magazine.
Herman Knickerbocker Viele does not
even give Bacon. the second aspirant
to the honor the credit. Imagine the
audacity of a man who writes a story
in which viii Shakespeare and Fran
,cis Bacon go on a spree together. and
the former has a fight. while the lat
ter is made in by his first pipe. When
they get home they md the MSS. Of
Romeo and Juliet" in Kit Marl9we's

as to who shall sign it. Will Shake

Bacon is occupying the room Of Kit

EDITORIAL OPINION
RoosevsI. On .he worId,s stsae.


From the Washington Post
Envy itself-and the best Of us have
all the envy the moral law allows, and
more, too-would not deny that at this
moment Theodore Roosevelt occupies
first place on the worlds stage, where
move the worlds public men. When
oliver Cromwell was Protector. Eng
land yielded him obedience. Scotland
he had chastiscd. Ireland he had crush
ed, France ceded him Dunlirk. Savoy
paid him indemnity, and battle. on land
and on sea, laid victory at his feet.
He was the first personality then liv-
ing but Cromwell's prlmacy among the
worlds politicians IN 1857 was no more
apparent than is ROosevelt's In 1905.
Cromwell owed his position to "A
genius for command. to fortune in bat
tie. TO a capacity for the grasp OF
practical things to an infalHble con-
cepton of what was real and what was
APPARENT; but Roosevelt's position is due
to other causes than these. He lives
in more civilized age, in an age when
public opinion is so strong that even
the sword itself-supreme in Cromwelrs
time-must respect IL and even bow 10
physical force; Roosevelt. also. is rep
resentative Of force. but is the force OF
moral suasion, to which the nations
have become subject. and that is daily
and hourly gaining i'm strength.
The President Is. indeed, a fortunate
man. The Chief Magistrate of the most
powerful, the most opulent, and. per-
haps, the most enlightened people in
the world. he is yet a young man in
years. and much younger man lin
physical health and physical strength
than his forty-seven summers would
indicate. He is an enthusiast. brave
impulsive. audacious, and whatever his
hand finds to do It doeth with all his
might. Fortune, too. has been his
friend and came to him with botf
hands full. Who would have thought
the day Roscoe Conkllng assailed him
with all the malevolent sarcasm OF his
scorpion tongue that this then youth
ere he was 50, would be the foremost
man. not only OF America, but of tn,
world?

The Lease Japan Gets


From the Cleveland. o., Leader.
In taking over the Russian leaseholds
on the Liao-Tung Peninsula Japan will
be forced to play "a game of tag with the
future.
The lease the Russians have held, the
right which they yield to Japan, has
eighteen more years TO run. Should the
Mikado Immediately strengthen the for
tress of Port Arthur, improve and fortlfy
Dalny and bring the railroad equipment
into proper condition, he is hardly likely
to entertain any thought Of surrendering
these holdings ia 1923 Rather will he
use all his power 10 obtain a renewal of
the grants which China made to Russia
in 1895
lie has. however to reckon with an
awakening China Eighteen years will. in
all likelihood, see am appearance OF some
thing very like patriotism in the Chinese
Empire. certainly "a knitting together of
the forces antagonistic to the Occident.
China has been slow to take the hints
which half the world has given so rudely.
but there Is every appearance that the
country will yet shake off It's apathy.
Railroads. steamships, the itch for change
and reform, are playing tremendous
part In putting cast of modernism upon
the land. Assured of the territorial in
tegrty of China the Chinese naticn will
grow bolder and develop its potentiality
as world power.
The obvious course for Japan lies i'm the
direction of an alliance and "a Japanned
China, however incongruous it may seem
In the bric-a-brac trade Aside from its
political advantage such a union is nee
essary TO protect the Japanese invest
ments i'm Manchuria- Toxic can spend its
energies and money upon Manchuria
with hope of adequate reward. Japan can
settle its citizens in the Liao-Tung PEN
insula, knowing that their homes will be
permanent
Better still Japan. il an ally Of China,
can count on some day gaining title TO
Port Arthur Dalny and the Liao-Tung
Peninsula in perpetuity. That, nothing
less, was what Russia expected.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that
is by constitutional remedies. DEAFNESS
is caused by an in1amed condition of che
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result. and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it normal condition. hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an innamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be caused by Halls Catarrh

SCHOOL SYSTEM IN PHILIPPINES
Important Work is Being Done by
American Organizers.

Nothing in the whole history of our
six years sojourn i'm the archipelago is
imore encouragi ging than the warm well
come accorded to the American school
teachers, followed by the recent rapid
growth of the insular school system
The Importance Of the work that Is
being done in the islands by American
school officers ana organizers is very
imperfectly understood in this country.
The fact that more than half a million
children and youths are now enrolled
i'm the Philippine public schools can
only be appreciated i'm its true signif-
canoe when we remember that instruc-
tion in English is required in all grades
that "a great part of the teaching is
done altogether in English, and that
attendance at the schools is entirely
voluntary
The fact that a school system of such
magnitude could be developed under
the peculiarly difficult conditions exist
ing in the Philippines ana made a
popular institution throughout the
archipelago within seven years after
the sinking of the Spanish ships in
Manila Bay is d striking tribute to the
executive ability, enthusiasm and de-
votion to duty of the American men
and women who have gone out to the
islands with the idea of doing pioneer
work in education. Hundreds of
teachers who take positions each year
Ia the Philippines have an influence
outside Of the school room far greater
I'm some respects than they had at
home. They are continually brought IN
contact with the local governing bodies
are called upon for advice on civic
and social matters and have "a thousand
and one opportunities to mold the polit-
ical institutions Of this interesting peo-
pie at the formative period.

PROPOSED APPROPRIATION BY
COUNCIL.

Unless reckless extravaganza Is to rule
the present City Council, a number Of
pending bills and prospective schemes
viii be speedily thrown into the scrap
basket. The proposed plan Of saddlmg
upon City Council the responsibility and
expense OF constructing a preliminary
filter should not be looked upon with IA
vor by Council, The duty Of building
reservoirs and providing the city with
pure and wholesome water rests solely
with the Water Department and II in
their Judgment. formed after over two
years Of backing and filling, hesitating
and delaying, preliminary filter is ne
cessary, it is for the Water Department
itself to provide, ana It would be a great
mistake for City Council to take upon
itself responsibility which in no way
belongs TO IL. The Water Department
has sufficient funds TO build the pro-
posed preliminary hlter and by divert
ing them from channels where they are
not urgently needed,they will be available
for the more urgent purpose OF eontruot-
ing the temporary filter. City Council
has not $4,000 or $4,000 to turn over to
the Water Department nor has it au-
thority TO incur debt for such purpose.
It would be well for Council to go slow
in regard to this matter and not permit
itself TO be dragged into neld of action
where it does not belong. It has enough
to do to attend to the matters and af-
fairs which properly belong to ii.
Another matter deserving consideration
and we think unfavorable action is the
proposed scheme TO appropriate 500 a
year from the city treasury to pay the
salary OF a stenographer for the City SO.
