Taft's Philippine Talks.

While exhibiting maidenly modesty in the pres
of the subject of Presidential preference and
probabilities Secretary Taft gives free rein to his
tongue in discussing conditions as he found them in
the Philippine Islands. The Philippine policy of
the Government is his pet weakness and he
grows weary when extollng the processes through
which the American republic maintains an island
monarchy in the Orient.
In his eulogy of the system there in operation,
Mr. Taft said at Washington the day of his
turn to his official duties: peace prevails through
out the Philippine Islands today in greater degree
than ever in their history either under Spanish
American rule"
Mr.. Taft does not exaggerate the situation. The
American Nation is stronger than the Spanish Ma
ton and sustain a effective foreign army.
The peace of which he boasts is only product
of superior force Many mothers in this land of
mourning for that have given their
lives in establishing and maintaining the peacefulness
that the Secretary of War brings back from the
in his message to the conquerers. Many
of mothers have returned with health destroyed and
the token of peace reminds them that the penalty
is theirs to carry to their graves.
Mr. Taft ascertained during his visit to the colo
nies that the Christian Filpnos manifesting in
terest in the small allowance of self-government
doed out to them and it is his belief that those
themselves in time.
The Catholic church could have given that in
formation to the world long before the American
flag unfurled emblem of oppression for
the Catholic church Christianized the savage ma
eral it found in the unnviting junges of the tropi-
cal archipelago and fitted it for a better form of
government than it would normally have espoused
Naturally the Filipino people welcome the little
liberty the mother country allows them and Mr..
Taft takes their evidences of appreciation as a
symptom that they have teen converted to the rule
against which they fought with all their feeble
strength
The story of the American subjugaton of the
Philippine Islands, though delight to the Secre-
tary of War; is not reished by the Nation that once
fought itself out of like condition and the secretary
will enthusiastic interest in the topic only
in those commercial circles where there is hope of
the profitable exploitation of the resources of sub

DEPARTMENT open
Associated Press.

Washington, October 1.--What is
considered the most important change
in the accounting system of the gov
eminent since that required by the
Dockery act in 1894, went into effect
today.
The new regulations are most far
reaching and apply to the accounts
of all parts and branches of the gov
eminent service, except to accounts
relating to the postal revenues and
expenditures therefrom accounts of
pension agents and moneys in the
registry of courts.
The system is based on certain rec
concentrations of the committee on de-
partment methods, and contemplates
that the paid checks of disbursing of
ficers will be received by the auditors
of the treasury department, and will
be compared by those officers with the
vouchers in payment of which they
are issued. Disbursing officers will be
hereafter required to analyze their
balances, which analysis will be verl-
fed by the several auditors.
AS a corollary to the system the
practice of obtaining receipts in ad-
vance of actual payments will be dis
continued and hereafter receipts will
be required or accepted only when
payments are made in cash-that is,
currency, by disbursing officers in
person or by deputy. Vouchers in
exact duplicate and triplicate will no
longer be taken.
