The New York Tribune Almanac

OF course, it is possible to worry
through life without keeping a Tribune
Almanac at your elbow, but is it worth
while does it pay? For 25 cents year
this publication supplies you with a
really marvellous amount of informa-
ton, and the man who has it is an au-
thority in his neighborhood. He do sent

about election pluralities, the names of
Cabinent Ministers, Senators, Congress-
men, Governors or Judges. He doesn't
have to depend upon his memory when
anything comes up about the big events
of the preceding year or in relation to
our army or navy or sporting records,
or, in fact, almost anything else OF
record worth knowing. If you have
never examined The Tribune Almanac
just invest quarter for one, and see
how well pleased you'll be. The 1906
one was put on sale January 1, and may
be had from your newsdealer, through
your local paper or direct from The

Whatever may be true touching the
points just now under controversy in
the matter of railroad assessments and
railroad taxation in Michigan, the peo-
pie of this state will be interested in the
fact that this state now stands alone in
the matter of proportionate returns to
the state treasury on railroad taxation
account. Not all that is due to the
state on this account has as yet been
paid by the railroads, but the existence
of suit to delay or escape such pay
ment in full is of course no fault of the
tax law from the requirement point of
view. Attention has recently been
called to the fact that in Wisconsin the
average rate of tax on the railroads is
only $1.15 per 800 of valuation, as
compared with ST.. AS or STA in Michi-
gan, as the railroad valuation question
may be finally decided. The statement
that Michigans railroads will pay more
taxes proportionately this year, as the
present assessment stands, than the
railroads of any other state in the union,
Is interesting information so far as it
goes whatever may be results of efforts
to increase such payments. Cadillac

China Is No Longer a Field for Bunco
Games.

The day has passed when unscru-
pulous agents can sell the Chinese
Government defective rifles and cannon
of one calibre and ammunition of an
other calibre for them; when WORKOUT
machinery can be unloaded upon the
Chinese as the latest and best and
when dwarf locomotives discarded by
the New York elevated railroad can be
used to equip a Chinese trunk line.
This is all finished The China Of to-
day has no more use for such things
than has the United States. The
European or American with bunco
game on big scale might as well stay
at home. His chance of working it will
be fully as good there as it is in China;
perhaps a little better. But to the
young Westerner who knows how to do
something useful and is willing to do
it. to the business concern which has
something valuable to offer upon
reasonable terms, this wonderful

Gentleman Tim Spells Texas Pete's
Monopoly.


The second story of Stewart Edward
Whites series ARIZONA Nights" ap-
pears in McClure's Magazine for
February, and makes Windy Bill the
center of the campfire circle. "The
Emigrant Story" is at once an exciting,
humorous, and moral tale. There is
an air of snugness about this new series
of Mr.. Whites. You see his party
gathered about joking and talking and
always wandering into a yarn Of Ari-
IONA. Mr. White has the trick of catch
ing color, and dry humor, and vivid
imagination. These stories are dra-
matte and are we'll worth reading.
The emigrant story is about how Texas
Pete got a monopoly on water in the
desert, and worked it for all it was
worth until Gentleman Tim, mildly
assisted by Windy Bill, taught him a
lesson, spoiled his industry, and made
it possible for any one to get a drink of
water free in land where 1t had been
more valuable than some stronger stuff.

Not Entitled to All Rights Without
Responsibilities.

Responsibilities.
1t would seem that instead of so much
carping about whether the Philippines
are domestic or foreign territory, 1t
would be well for Congress to legislate
in accordance with the expressed de-
cision of the highest tribunal, which
recognized that, for certain purposes,
they are domestic, and must be SO
treated, while in other respects they
may be treated as foreign-both propo-
sitions being in the discretion of Con-
gress By legislation Congress has ex-
tended certain provisions of the Ameri-
can constitution to the Philippines,
notably the bill of rights embodied in
the amendments. except the right of
trial by jury and the right to keep and
bear arms This extension and that
attendant denial fully asserts the power
of Congress in dealing with the ques-
tion. 1t has the same power with re-
spect to customs revenue legislation and
excise taxes
The Philippine people have been
treated with splendid generosity by the
United States Government, but they
have not been made citizens of the re-
public. To make them citizens when
they are unfit; to impose upon them
trial by jury when they are unfit; to
impose upon them our burdensome and
intricate internal revenue tax system,
for which they are unpreparedI and I'M
acquainted-all this would be unjust to
them. 1t is enough that they be given
real benefits, without proposing to
grant to them such access to the Ameri-
can markets for their wares as would be
injurious to the interests of the Ameri-
can people. That is all there is to the
question. 1t is not as if it were pro-
posed to erect American States in the
Philippines That is not proposed now,
nor thought of for the future. The
Filipinos cannot expect all the rights
and privileges which flow from citizen
ship such as is bestowed upon residents
of an organized territory of the Ameri-
can Union, while being at the same
time unprepared to assume the burdens
incident to such citizenship.
What is to prevent Congress going on
legislating for the Philippine people in
the light of facts presented, and the re-
latious of the islands to the United
States, as defined by the Supreme
Court2 Why so much reiteratiun about
the rights of the Filipinos? They have
rights and privileges and have obtained
benefits, from being residents of part
of the United States, which the citizens
of no organized territory or State can
obtain; and these rights and benefits
have been freely granted without the
imposition of the burdens which Ameri-
can citizenship and the American sys-
tenn of government impose.
There is no injustice to the Philippine
people in the insistence by Congress
that the first duty of the American
government is to its citizens and their
interests, and that everything shall be
done by Congress for the benefit of the
Philippine people consistent with their
relations to the American republic, and
which at the same time shall not harm
the interests of the citizens of tie re-
public.

Queer Russian Ways.

If you drive through Russian vii
lage about 10 p. m. you will be struck
by the absolute quiet that pervades
the scene. Not creature, man or dog,
Is visible moving about The place has
the air of deserted village. Suppose
by some rare untoward chance you
come upon group of men standing
together, apparently in conversation,
you will notice that they speak in sub
dued tones, and, wait so long as you
please, you will never hear them
laugh. The cause is simply this: These
Russian peasants believe in evil spir-
its; but, unlike the Chinese, they be-
lieve that they are attracted, not
frightened, by sounds. And so if some
unlucky fate decree that the moujik be
out of doors after II p. m. he is pain
fully silent man. This feeling also ex-
tends to some of the southern towns.
Kiev, the holy. city Of Russia, is a
model in this respect. After 10 p. NJ.
you may practically have the streets
to yourself. -Blackw Magazine.
