Philippine Elections.

Congratulations to the Filipinos on the
character of their recent elections. Every
thing went of smoothly. At only three polls
were there charges of bribery and intimi-
dation. We have not so good record our
selves, although hundred and odd years
In the harness. Bribery of one kind and
another is the evil we have most to con-
tend with. These elections In the Philip
pines are, as described, educational. The
people are getting the hang of what SUI
hage means. and are tasting of the respon-
sibilities that attach to it. AS the time
approaches when they are to elect an as
sembly we may hope to see them choose a
body of merit and in orderly fashion. The
better prepared they show themselves to be
in the matter of assisting in the manage
ment Of their affairs the better 1t will be
both for them and for us. American rule
in the archipelago Is justifying itself all
along the line.

Prohibition Of Gossip.

There is one experiment in Zion City on
which the worlds eye IS fixed with an I'M
believing stare. Should the experiment
prove successful man Will not hereafter
quarrel with a miracle. He will accept
political promises with full credence, will
put implicit trust in party pledges and Will
take as true other things which he has
ever looked on with incredullty.
When Wilbur Glenn yoliya was appointed
overseer of Zion by the First Apostle he
made this pronunciamento:

Anti Pain Pills done me more good

ing circumstance that happened at
our home two years ago. A friend,
Mrs. Brown, of Orion, Mich, came
to visit us. She had not been able
to dress herself or comb her own
hair for months. A friend of ours
came in, and, seeing her suffering,
offered her some DIR. Miles Anti
Pain Pills. She laughed at the idea
of relief from such a source after
doctoring for so long, but took one
of the tablets with the remark that
it would at least do her no harm.
She took another that evening, and
the next morning she was so elated
that she went to the druggists and
got package and took them home
with her. Recently she was here
again, and told us that she con-
tinued taking the pills, and that one
box cured her, and she has not had
a symptom of rheumatism since

False Ideals and Their Consequences

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Doubtless 1t is a healthy sign that we are
Investigating our own shortcomings. And
II must be confessed that We have a few or
them, We cannot put the blame on legisla-
lures for Matchmaking bills when we elect
the kind of legislature that will commit
blackmail. We cannot abuse Congress for
neglecting vital questions when we pick out
men for that body who are incapable of
dealing with them or who never occupy
their seats, except on salary day. We cam
not blame our courts for diliydallying meth
DDS or chicane long as we make no eff
fective protest against the Deuels and Hook
ers who occupy the bench. We cannot
blame commercial companies for adutera-
lions and cheats SO long as we buy their
goods. Hence. 1t is not the political or
commercial conscience that Is wrong be-
cause 1t Is political or commercial. but the
conscience of the whole people that has
grown drowsy. Our ideals are wrong and
make wrong consequences

Seneca Falls, n. Y. Oct BIN speeches
delivered yesterday in Yates and Seneca
counties Charles T. Hughes, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, took up and
answered the assertion OF w. r. Hearst
TO the effect that the net result OF the
life insurance investigation as conducted
by Mr.. Hughes was the substitution in the
Equitable Life Assurance society OF
ruthless Ryan for harmless Hyde"
Mr.. Hughes declared his opponent was
insincere In making such statement and
could not fool the people" He pointed
out that the Ryan purchase OF the Hyde
stock was made before an investigation
was even ordered. and naturally before
he had anything TO do with the subject.
Mr.. Hughes repeated I'm his speeches yes
terday his charge of insincerity against
Mr.. Hearst.
At Penn Van Mr.. Hughes said In part:

ganda. For many years IL has been the

IL matter of bargain with Charles F.
Murphy. and agree that so many nomi-
ness shall be dictated by him, and so
many nominee dictated by another and
then succeed in fooling the American
people in talking about the expression OF
the popular will?"
Then amid applause Mr. Hughes told
his hearers some OF he things he said
had resulted from the insurance investi-
cation. He enumerated the various laws
regarding Insurance which were passed
concluded:
