TRutland Herald

The Philippine speech OF Congressman
Longworth. who is engaged to the Pres
!dents daughter made the anti-imperial-
istic league fancy that new friend and
advocate had entered its ranks. He did
tell the house that IL will be well when
the United States is rid OF the Philip
pines, and Erving Winslow. the moving
spirit OF the Anti-imperialist league. lost
no time In addressing MIR Longworth in
cordial terms, welcoming him as one Of
the faithful. We would have considered
It a privilege to follow the changes Of
expression I'm Mr. Winslow's face while
reading the congrcssman's reply Here
is his closing paragraph:
Permit me TO say. In closing, that /

step and every action taken by the Anti
imperialst league from its inception,

OF the policy OF tho government of .he

Of holding the Philippines forever: / do

The Correspondence Schools and Their
"oraduates."
MORTIFIED News.l

The correspondence schools. which ad-
vertise not only to teach all sorts of
trades and professions, but to obtain high
salaried positions for their graduates,
are drawing pretty heavily on many rural
communities. Almost invariably the am
bilious young man or young woman who
pays his or her money to these alleged
schools for a given course of study, with
the expectation Of graduating and OBJ
tanning lucrative position in a few eeks
is doomed to bitter disappointment
Those in position to know state that So
called graduates Of correspondence schools
are avoided as much as possible by large
business houses. The course at best gives
only a smattering of the subject taken
up by the student and is more than likely
TO put wrong ideas into his head which
cannot be easily eradicated.

Several days passed before Mr.
Brewer made public the letter which
he claimed would sustain the charg,

And when he did give 1t out it fail

was nothing in it 10 sustain a single

The "proof' Mr.. Brewer gives out

forthwith quit the race and leave
