For the people to Say.

Believing that efficiency merited reten-
ton in office, the Times some weeks ago
EXPRESSED the belief the state would do
itself credit II it reelected Fletcher d.
Proctor governor. 1t hasn't seen any
reason to change that belief. In fact 1t
has faith to believe that If the voters
express their own preferences In the mat
ter, he will be the next Republican nom
inee for governor of the state. Friends OF
other candidates say the rules OF the
game will not permit lit; but who makes
the rules? Must the voters always choose
the candidates the politicians select ana
under conditions imposed by them? II
is admitted on all sides that Governor
Proctor has given the state good busl-
ness administration, that he is looking
closely after all the states interests ana
institutions, and doing all In his power
TO keep down state expenditures. II the
state believes he is right in this 1t should
re-elect him. He hasn't said he would
not accept a second term as governor
and as he was willing to serve his town
a second term in the legislature, 1t is falr
to believe he would accept second term
as governor.

The simple LIE in Insurance Circles.

Since the insurance disclosures in New
York, the various companies have been
living the simple life, as one may Judge
by reading the following from the Spring
field Republican: zone result of the
life insurance disclosures has been to
force the officers of the Mutual COM
pany of New York into a simpler
style of official living and this in
turn has led to a sale Of some OF the
more superfluous and sumptuous fur
nishings OF tine McCurdyregime. Furniture
rugs and bric-a- brac from the offices Of the
company were sold at auction last week
to the amount of 4.500--the same hav-
ing cost the policyholders about $3.50 j..
The directors table, imported from Paris
at a cost of $4,000 brought $40: the l6
gilded chairs about the table, which cost
some 5000 each, went for $40 and $50.
Mr.. McCurdy's "ornata throne chair of
carved and gilded wood" costing some
$500, brought $50; a Mrs. Livermore bid
in for $S,S25 "a gold enameled Louis XIV
parlor suite of nine pieces in aubusson
tapestry" while a carved mahogany illu-
minated leather suite that decorated Mr.
McCurdy's reception room went for
$1,000 although the auctioneer stated that
the original cost was 10.000-to the pol
icyholders. We must suppose. then that
the Louis XIV parlor suite cost the policy
holders in the neighborhood of $40, 900
And what was a parlor suite of any sort
doing in the business offices OF an in
surance company?

Home Rule for the FIllpInos.

On July 30, this year, the first repre-
sentative assembly of the Filipinos was
chosen.
Eighty-one members were elected to
this new body which may De compared
to our House of Representatives, with
the Philippine commission as the Senate.
The suffrage is, however, much restric-
ted, and the provisions of the election
law require that the voters must be men
twenty three years old, knowing how to
read, write and speak English or Span
ish; that they have not violated the oath
allegiance, or borne arms against the
United States since May, 1, 1901; that
they own real estate worth 500 pesos, or
pay a yearly tax of 30 pesos; and that
they have paid their taxes since 1898.
AS to the powers of this assembly,
its acts will have to be approved by the
Philippine commission before they can
become laws; but, on the other hand, 1t
will be able to defeat legislation that
does not suit 1t.

eRATTLEeoRo MARKET REPORT.

Several Changes In Prices, There Being
an Advance In Eggs, Butter and
Cheese.
Prices on food moved in both direc-
tons this week but more went up than
came down. Beef, veal and fowls each
dropped one cent a pound at wholesale,
but eggs, butter and cheese took a de-
cided advance. The situation in the local
egg market is a trying one as there are
practically no fresh local eggs to be had.
Early in the week there was no difficulty
in getting so cents dozen for all the
fresh eggs that the dealers could procure
from the farmers. Frest western eggs
bring 40 cents per dozen at retail.

One was that 1t was not contemplated that there should be Sunday racing on the grounds. and the other was that the grounds being really the property of a group of private gentlemen. It was desirable to protect the property from such injury as might be inflicted upon it when there was no one present to take care of it. Therefore the grounds have been closed and locked not to be opened until it is done regularly.
