The Philippine Tariff Bill.

1t was hardly to be supposed that so good
a fighter and so capable manager as MT
Lodge would permit the Senate committee
adverse action on the Philippine tariff bill
to close the contest. The Importance of the
measure called for continuation of the
struggle and this Is assured. In his own
time and way, Mr.. Lodge. it is stated, will
ask n vote of the Senate on a bill which,
as matters now stand, is in the control of
three men instead of the ninety composing
the Senate.
Opposition to this measure springs from
two sources. The sugar and the tobacco
interests assert that they would be injured
by the reduction of the Dingley rates ON
those two Philippine staples. They made
their argument in the House, and the
House, by a large majority, overruled it.
They are but repeating it in the Senate,
1t is no stronger. no ampler now than
then, but has proved strong enough 10 in
huence several votes in the committee, and,
temporarily. to tie the bill up.
There is then the opposition influenced by
the opinion that our whole course respecting
the Philippines has been mistake, and that
a serious blow TO our Philippine policy
would be the defeat of this bill. The idea
seems to be that to increase our difficulties
in the Islands will be to shorten our stay:
that by a study of our hard side the Fill
pinos will grow in discomfort, and, after
awhile. if we do not withdraw voluntarily,
will expel us.
At the outset we had choice We might
have accepted money consideration from
Spain In the matter of the Maine-comput-
ed on the value of the ship, and so much
per head for the officers and men who went
down with her-and that would have pre-
vented the war. There would then have
arisen TO Philippine problem. The mere
hint of that course, however-there were
those who favored it-raised a storm IN
this country. and but made war the more
imperative. When the war was over we
had the Philippines on our hands, and every
step since with regard to them has been in
dorsed by the people at the polls. The YER
diets of 1900 and 1904 covered American
control of those islands as distinctly as they
did sound money and protection.
Mr.. Lodge should press his point, and put
everybody on record. Stranslng by COM
mittee is doubtful legislative procedure.

The Cocaine Evil.

In consequence Of the imperfections OF
thc statutes now in force, there exists in
this District a heavy traffic IN certain
drugs OF a narcotic and stimulative nature
highly deleterlous TO health, both moral and
physical This evil Is well known to the
authorities who despite all their efforts,
are poweriess 10 check It. They are forced
10 listen to appeals from wives and mothers
and fathers and husbands and brothers for
assistance in the abolition of a trade which
is sapping the strength and wrecking the
lives OF loved ones, replying merely that the
law does not express the desired prohibition
and that they have besought Congress- to
remedy It's defects.
1t has been said that the cocaine evil
for an example, has grown to great pro-
portions In this city. so readily do the VIC
tins of this habit obtain the drug for which
they crave. While many pharmacists do
not sell the stun without a prescription.
Others dole It over the counters without
question or hesitation, knowing full we'll
that 1t IS being purchased by unfortunates
who are losing ground with every dose.
This traffic. worse IN some respects than
the unrestricted sale of liquor is virtually
at this time beyond regulation, and the
dealers In the drug are for the present i'm
mune from any form OF punishment

tice OF medicine. Whatever differences Of

Loose talk abounds unfortunately on
many subjects, and Bishop Turner is not

The Crime of CauseIess War.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
1t is hard for the world to believe that
two great European countries will go to
war over question of ascendency in Mo
rocco. These powers have professed to be
among the most pacific. No other nations
have espoused more strongly the conten-
ton that the -surest way to promote peace
Is to make the most tremendous prepara-
tions for war and no others have more
strongly protested that their own motive
in preparing for war was a desire to pro-
mote the worlds peace.
The world may not have accepted these
pacific protestations as entirely sincere,
but it is nevertheless unwilling to believe
that two such nations as France and Ger
many would engage in deadly conflict for
alleged rights and for opportunities. most
" illusoTy, wholly outside of their ac-
knowledged Jurisdiction, The proceedings
at Algeciras have disclosed the matters
ostensibly in dispute and they are not such
as should be deemed a sufficient cause of
war.

on the part Of reputable pharmacists no
desire TO block this proposition In its enact
ment into law. While those who are inu-
mateIy acquainted with the case are aware
that many Of the local druggists refuse TO
engage In this traffic and are earnestly de-
srous that 1t be stopped. the general pub
lie Is prone to believe that the entire trade
is thu engaged In 1t. 1t Is therefore due
to themselves that the druggists who have
put ban upon the indiscriminating sale
OF cocaine should work vigorously for the
passage of the bill.
1t has been said in behalf of the drug
trade that there Is little use in refusing to
sell cocaine to victim when he can step
around the corner or across the street and
obtain the stuff without difficulty. This Is
no defense 1t is a confession of the need
of action which will prevent the miserable
man or -woman from getting the drug any
where. The ease with which It is procured,
Its comparative cheapness and the ease OF
dosing all combined go to make the evil of
tremendous proportions and grave signid-
canoe.
Cocaine produces a peculiar stimulation
for a brief period, but It leaves the victim
in sad state OF nervous collapse. Sold
sometimes under the name Of "catarrh pow
der" it leads the user into the habit I'M
awares and many case of absolute aoan-
donment to the drug has found It's begin
ming In this manner. Thus the campaign
against cocaine strikes also at certain prep
arations of the drug under other names.

without giving warning of the subtle nature
OF the components.

Blessings.

Oh, blessed is the man who knows
Enough to make a speech:
Whose graceful erudition shows
A mighty mental reach;
Who comes before the listening throng
With eloquence and skill.
And wakes them all, both weak and strong
To a responsive thrill.
But far more blessed is the man
Who goes from day to day
And merely does the best he can
With nothing much to say.
Unbalanced by all his fellow-men
II IS his Joy to find
Himself his only critic when
He wants to change his mind.

The Curse of Shiftlessness.
From the Hartford Comm Times.

Whether shiftlessness is vice that is in
durable or a habit that can be overcome
it is, anyhow, condition that perplexes
and frritates relieving officials. Shiftless-
ness is paying ones last 90 cents for a
circus ticket without learning where to-
morrow's breakfast is coming from. It
is a refusal to repair the leak In the roof
when the sun shines. It is killing the goose
that lays the golden eggs. 1t takes no
thought of the morrow. 1t never lays up
anything for a rainy day. 1t always ignores
opportunities. 1t prefers TO rely on neigh
borhood bounty to hustling for itself. It
won't work except under the pressure Of
necessity. 1t never gets ahead.
