MAKING FINE HARBoRS

First fruits Of the revolutionizing process
are witnessed when the Stranger enters Manila
hartor Chief city Of the Philippine sroup. and
always with considerable foreign trade. Manila
has never had suitable dock facilities
The new dock system now nearing compile
tion will permit he largest ocean-going freight
er to tie up alongside and receive or discharge
cargo. instead of having it lightered from an
anchorage in the bay, as has been the custom.
When the work of improving the harbor was
begun three years ago the contract called for
the expenditure of S2.000,000. in round numbers
A great deal Of the bottom was dredged and an
immense breakwatOr constructed for the prote
tion of ships in the tyPhoon season.
The usefulness Of the best Earbor. however, is
limited without ample wharf facilities. Commo-
dious piers have been and are being constructed
existing contracts running the total cost Of hbr-
Dor improvement up to S4,029000
As part of the general Hlan the deepening of
the Pasig river was considered essential This

lake known as Laguna de Bay with Manila har-

rivers, the new highway takes its course through
territory so rough tl.at when the American engi-

constructed there.
Heavy masonr , dry walls truss bridges,
large fills and extensive rocE cuts were neces-

natives were filled with establishment.

sake. After the failure of the first effort one of the most inhuman wars of modern times, during which thou- sands of innocent children, defence less women and feeble old men were done to death, was waged by England against the Boers in South Africa. An humble suiter for arbitration at Washington, John Bull wRged merci- less wars in South Africa and Thibet and is ready to do the same thing over again to-morrow, however much she may cheer to the echo Mir Bryan's ill-digested arbitration proposals. England denouncing war is like satan rebuking sin. The hypocrisy in the one case is no greater than the other. Mir Bryan out of his honest and sincere desire of helping to bring about an era of universal peace, has been aiding and abetting, unwitting- ly of course, John Bull in his hy- pocrisy.

BOOM FOR FAIRBANKS.
His Campaign Buttons Are Already
 in Circulation.

Washington, Aug 4.-Campaign buttons bearing the legend, For President in 1908. Charles Warren Fairbanks" have made their appear anee in Washington and have been distributed extensively throughout the south
 The Fairbanks boom for the presi- dency is proceeding along compara- lively smooth roads these days. Thus far 1t has met no serious stumbling blocks. Even in Mir Fairbanks home state of Indiana. where he has some dear enemies. the viee-president has had reasonably clear sailing. Some disquie;ing obstacles have been en- cOuntered. but that they amount to little more than ordinarily is to be expected in a campaign for the presi- dency.
 It Is pretty certain that. despite all denials. Speaker Cannon is maneu- vering coyly for position in the pres idential contest. The likelihood is that he will have his own state of Illinois at his back. if he should con- clude to permit the use of his name before the republican national con- vention. What is giving the vice. president and his friends concern Is that Uncle Joe" Cannon is devotIng some of his attention to Indiana. There are indications in the Hoosier state of an effort to undermine the strength of vice-President Fairbanks. The work Is being done so quietly that the Fairbanks people cannot openly object without putting them selves. possibly. in the attitude of making a mountain out of a mole hill.
 It .s quite certain that the vice president will have the support of a solid delegation from his own state. but the indications are that the dele gatiou will have a second choice. This is a bad situation ia which to place a "favorife son" Backed by a delegation which has a strong can- dIdsts as e ssco1d choice. the "fa- vcrfte son" movement rill lack force from the start. IL will detraet from that seriousness of support which is absolutely necessary if c candidate is to vfn the presidential prise.
 Among Speaker Csnsou's friends in Indiana are Senator Henenway and Representative ~Jiu" wstson- ths re,sbiicz1 whip of the kouss- Bosh of them are untsr scroag poIist- cal o5iiEaftons 10 ''Cncis JosL- Hen snvsy stsp7st i1te t1s eennteFsAiD

from the chairmanship of the com mittee on appropriations which Speaker Cannon gave him; and Wat son has been one of the principal lieutenants of the speaker in every contest he has had in the house for several years. Both are forceful men. They nominally may support the vice-president, but here they are re- garded as at heart supporters of Speaker Cannon. They will be in a position to swing the Indiana delega- tion to Cannon at the psychological moment, if the speaker should con- clude to be a candidate. That vigor- ous support of the Cannon movement is being given by several of the i'm portant republican members of the house has been perfectly evident for severely months.
 While secrecy concerning the movements is being maintained, evil dence is abundant that the Fairbanks people are doing lots of missionary work in the south. They are looking for delegates and the chances are that the vice-president may receive pretty strong support from the southern states A literary bureau in the in-. terest of the vice-president is being maintained in Indianapolis and the southern mails are being flooded with Fairbanks literature. The south wants things from the next admins tration. if 1t should be republican and the candidate who gets the sup port of the southern delegates will have to make some tall promises. The southern republicans will want member of the cabinet and some oth- CT important federal offices. includ- ing, of course, the local federal pat ronage of the south. They will deal only with candidates who can deliver these goods If it be Fairbanks, well and good: if not, then they will de- termine upon some other republican.

~ The Association of Rhenish and
 Westphalian Grain Importers recent ly issued a circular complaining of alleged incorrect classification of American grain. The circular says that the grain trade of Europe has complained for years about the i'm proper certifying of American wheat, corn and oats, which has involved losses of millions of dollars to i'm porters. Thousands of cases of such alleged improper certifying, the cir cular asserts, are vouched for by sealed samples of grain and the origi- nal certificates where wheat with a large percentage of the old harvest was certified as new, and where mixed corn, certificated as Al grade, arrived at the port of destination totally ruined after ten days voyage. It is further charged in the circular that for some months American oats, certificated as white clipped, has con- tained a mixture of 30 per cent of barley. The association asked the importers in the international grain trade to make suggestions for line of common action to remove the evils complained of. An international con- ference is proposed to protect the trade against further losses.
