Friendship In Its strictest sense
should be limited In its manifestations.
The human heart and life can scarcely
have more than one ideal friendship.
Friendship means confidence, and he
who takes many into his confidence
and gives them knowledge Of his real
self and life commits serious folly.
We may have many friends who es-

Skillful and Conservative Republican
Leadership Moving Things
Forward

The Philippine tariff bill. after a
weeks debate. steadily moves towards
passage by the Republican majority in
the house. Divisions exist, but they
are local. They turn on special and
personal interests. They affect few.
The number OF them diminishes rather
than increases, says the Philadelphia
Press.
Under Speaker Cannon's wise, skill
full and conservative leadership. the
Republican majority in the house
steadily gains in unity, in purpose. in
conference and in momentum. II is in
Washington to accomplish results. and
1t is going TO accomplish them. Both
the country and the party demand re-
suits.
Ihis is no session like the one last
winter. No one is longer in doubt as
TO public will or party policy. Both
are clear. Honest and sincere men.
who desired TO do their full duty as
Republicans and congressman. were. in
doubt year ago as to the legislation
needed by the country and demanded
by the party.
But on both there is no longer uues-
ton. The Philippine tariff is part of a
definite programme on which President
Roosevelt and the Republicans in con-
gress both agree. The Philippine tar
IN, the joint admission of New Mexico
ana Arizona as one state and the pass
age of a railroad rebate measure are
all agreed upon by all, supported by
all and must be enacted
To some detail of some one of these
measures objection could doubtless he
made by this and that representative
or this and that senator. These spe-
cific and personal differences on par
tlcular measures always have existed
and always will exist
But. taken as a whole. these meas-
ures are approved by both the country
ana the party. In both parties the
overwhelming majority of the Amer
lean people desire TO deal fairly with
the Philippines, and fair treatment re-
qulres free trade with them. Neither
territory is ready for statehood alone
The admission of both as one fore
stalls the future of the admission of
either alone, and gives a state large
enough for representation.
The railroad rebate bill, RAPIDLY
reaching completion, stands above all
Tor the settled determination of the
American people to require a square
deal on freight rates. Such a measure
must pass. Its enactment and the
passage of the other bills on the Re-
publican programme are all thus rem
dered more certain by the common
purpose and action displayed, with in
considerable OBJECTIONS, by the Repub
lican majority of the house.
