that some Of the student nurses are now
in their third year makes it possible for
the hospital to send them wherever need
ed, day or night, whereas previous to this
year it has been impossible for one nurse
to make many all-day or all-night calls In
addition to her other work. AS noted in
Miss MacDonalds report, 90 calls were
made by nurses other than the district
nurse. The total number of cases for the
previous year was 2S4 and the total num-
Der of calls 1880. This indicates a de-
crease in the amount of illness in Brat
tleboro for the past year, and the indica-
ton Is borne out by the statements of
physicians.
Work which will beautfy materially the
appearance of the hospital grounds is now
under way. The hedge, which had be-
come unslghtly and was Of no material
value, has been removed. also a pine tree

Building Up the south-The Last Word

Patience then, is the word,-a long.
long patience. Changes have come and
are coming. In these forty years they
have been many. The people rise; our
lands become richer our vision wider; our
temper more tolerant. The South is not
a problem" 1t is a social and Industrial
condition. You cannot solve a condition
You can only gradually improve It, And
no social condition is either as bad or as
good as any one man guesses by the
small section Of IT, that he sees. We
hope to see great results from one cam
paign, from one lifetime of effort. Great
results are visible only generation by
generation. Thus 1t is that we who some
times feel the deepest despair at other
times feel the highest hope. We cannot
get away from our love Of the land and Of
the people. Those that work only for
themselves seem to us to miss the larger
inspiration Of our democracy and we 40
get at least-certainly we get at times
the triumphant sense of working at
hard task which is we'll worth doing. If
the bigness Of the task is appalling, and
the time required to do 1t indefinitely
longer than our day of labor, so have all
men found all grave social problems

cusses Tariff Question.
! San Francisco Oct. 31.-Henry Clay
'Ide, late governor general Of the Phil
ippine islands, has arrived here on the
liner Hongkong Maru, accompanied by
his daughter, Miss Marjorie Ide. He
has come home after more than five
years. service in the Far East to at
tend the marriage of his daughter to
,Bourke Cochran. The wedding will
take place at the Ide home in st.
Johnsbury, VT, shortly after Governor
Ide's arrival. Speaking of conditions
in the islands Governor Ide said:
"rhe Philippines are today in better
shape than they ever were under
Spanish or American rule. The labor
question Is no longer a problem.
What the Philippines do need, how
ever, is a square deal in the matter of
the tariff. BY annexation we killed
Spanish markets for the sugar and to-
bacco of the Philippines and by our
tariff we barred these products from
the United States. Both industries
are today in state of prostration.

most entirely in the hands of the ma
tives and except in Leyte and Samar,
where hill tribes make war on the
lowlanders, all is peace in the Philip

WILL NOT EXCEED SIXTY
NUMBER OF DEATHS AS RESULT
OF RAIL DISASTER At At.
LANTlc CITY, N. J.

Atlantic City, N. j., Oct. S1.-With
all the recovered bodies identified and
seven persons reported missing the
authorities and railroad officials are
certain that the number killed on Sun
day in the drawbridge disaster on the
West Jersey Sea Shore Electric rail
road will not exceed sixty. Fifty-two
bodies have been claimed, two of those
placed among the missing. are known
to be dead and five are still unac-
counted for. n
These seven victims are believed to
be wedged beneath the second pas
seneer coach, which is held fast in the
muddy bottom of the Thoroughfare.
Efforts to dislodge this car produced
little result. The ponderous trucks,
weighing about 100 tons, have sunk
deep into the mud. AS a last resort it
was suggested that the Wreckers use
dynamite to blow UP the car, but this
will not be done unless all other plans
fail.
Following a conference with City
Solicitor Wooten Coroner Gaskill de-
clared that it is absolutely certain that
more persons were killed in the dis
aster than Is shown by the number OF
bodies recovered. The coroner says
he has information which proves that
the number of passengers on the train
was at least .ninety-one, as originally
stated; that there were seventy-siX
through passengers from Camden and
fifteen persons riding on passes. "A
few got off at way stations. but more
got on at Pleasantville and other
points. The official number of identi-
fled dead shown by the coroner's re-
ports is fifty-one. Five are known to
have been. killed whose bodies have
not been recovered, increasing the to.
tai to fifty-six. Basing calculations on
the coroner's statement there are thir-
ty-five to be accounted for. About
twenty-five are known to have es-
capped, leaving at least ten more per-
sons who are supposed to have per-
ished in the accident.

v,LL APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.
president Asked to Denounce Hearst
Campaign Matter.

E !. 1851
New York, Oct 31.-Timothy L.
Woodruff, chairman of the state Re-
publican committee, says that he will
advise President Roosevelt to repu-
date campaign document issued by
the independence league in support Of
W.; r. Hearst's candidacy for governor.
Mr.. Woodruff objects to the publica-
ton in parallel columns of extracts
from the speeches of the president
and Mr.. Hearst as to the proper use
of wealth. Mr.. Woodruff said concern
ing the publication:
''It is earnestly hoped that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who has to degree
long maintained position that he
could not interfere in local politics,
will take up this matter and de-
nounce the author of the illusion. It
was expected all along that some such
an effort as this would be made by
Hearst to influence voters.
''My attention was called to the
Hearst publication Monday and made
an investigation, which disclosed the
facts regarding the publication of the
parallel views Of the president and
Hearst. I found it to be serious
matter and will urge upon the pres
ident the advisability of breaking his
rule OF silence in local political mat
tiers and reply to this insinuation.
81 am aware that the president is
not inclined to interfere in state poll
tics, but in view of this publication l
would strongly urge that the president
break his silence and repudiate the
author of, or the man who would bene-
fit by. that statement"

SECRETARY TAFT TO VISIT ISLANDS
WILL BE ON HAND WHEN NEW
GOVERNMENT is lNAueu.
RATED in MARCH.

( Washington, Oct. 31-The president
Is preparing to redeem his promise
made to the Philippine people through
Secretary Taft that. they shall have a
parliament of their own, conditioned
upon their good behavior for a term of
two years, and it is understood that
Secretary Taft himself will proceed to
the Philippines next spring to witness
the installation of the new form of
representative government. March q,
1905, the Philippine census was pub
aished and consequently two years
from that date, March 81, 1907, under
the terms of the act of congress the
president will direct the Philippine
commission to call general election
for the choice of delegates to what
will be known as the Philippine as
sembly. This body is to take over all
legislative powers heretofore exer-
cised by the Philippine commission in
that part of the archipelago not inhab-
tied by Moros or non Christian tribes.

that cannot at once be realized. For
instance. the assembly of provisional
governors recently in session in Ma
Mia with the view to arranging the
,preliminaries for the meeting of the
Philippine assembly is reported to
have recommended that the suffrage
be widely extended 1t is pointed out
here that this is not possible for the
reason that the act of congress under
which the assembly will be convened
expressly states the qualifications Of
voters. These, in brief, are that the
voter must be at least twenty-three
years of age (Which was the Spanish
requirement., must be able to read
and write either Spanish or English,
or must own small amount of prop
erty or must have been in the past an
'officeholder under the Spanish govern
ment. These qualifications were
framed upon the old Spanish practice
and no Philippine assembly can change
them. The new assembly or legisla-
ture will consist of two houses, to be
known as the Philippine commission
and the Philippine assembly, the latter
to consist Of not less than fifty nor
more than 100 members. 1t is prob
able that the present commission will
be merged in the upper house.
