Does it not seem strange now,
that you could have been so foolish
long ago? What in the world made
you think of it tonight? There
you sit by the crate with that
thoughtful look in your eyes, coolly
reviewing the past which you
thought, in your sclf-confidence,
you had forgotten. How foolish OF
you--for you ought to know that
those things are not 80 easily Tor
gotten as may be supposed.
1t all happened so strangely, or
at least it seemed strange to you,
though to others it might be the
most commonplace of all that ID
commonplace.
1t was at the home of q friend
where YOU first met, and he looked
so handsome. (Reynold Meyers
always did look handsome in your
eyes, You were fascinated with
| bis brilliant conversation and, al
| though Vol thought him ~conceited,
| you admired him much. Afterwards
| he accompanied you home and, I'M
t~hinkingly, you invited him to
call.
He did come to see you many
| times after that-do YOU remember;
rather, have you, can you forget9
Every time that you saw him you
obliteratcd from your mind some
of his faults and instated more of,
what seemed to you, his perfections-
Not until afterwards did YOU notice
that he was always such. a courteous
gentleman in his ways and SO ten
der and devoted. He told you how
sad his life was, how no N appre-
ciated him, and appealed in such a
subtle way to all your womanly
sympathies.
One evening, how well you recall
it, he had just escorted you home
from the opera. Mabel Marden gave
the box party. Why was it that
Mabel Marden always contrived to
have YOU and him see so much OF
another? That wonderful
opera. 1t had been a rushing, mad
dening melody that had seemed to
take away your senses and, as you
sank back into one of the luxurious
chairs in the dear old home, you
were not wholly free from the in
huenee Of the music which had
moved you so strangely.
He stood on the hearth rug facing
you, looking down into your eyes,
How plainly you can see him now,
even to the wavy hair that he had
pushed back from his high fore
head. Nothing was said and you
gazed back dreamily into his eyes.
Then all at once you saw a great
light sweep into them-the fiery
eruption of the volcano of his soul;
and you could feel the answering
rush of flame in your own soul, and
then-you knew and understood

OPENING OF THE
PHILIPPINE LEGISLATURE

The world realizes that in dealing
with dependent Asiatic people the
american people are opening an en-
tirely new path. And for the most
part the world also believes that
it will lead straight to disaster
Whether that be proved true or not,
we are going through with it to see
what comes of it. No nation has
ever done for dependent people of
different race what we are doing
for the Filipinos. The result thus
far seems to be that no people was
ever hated by a dependent people as
we are hated by the Filipinos. We
hope, of course, for better things in
the end.
There is, and for long time will
remain, an American majority in the
Philippine Commission, which will
constitute the upper house of the
Philippine Legislature, but the As
sembly, which was formally opened
by Secretary Taft on last Wednesday
is wholly Filipino, except as individ-
ual Americans may have been elected.
Suffrage in the Philippines is not
universal There are educational or
property qualifications. The elect
crate, therefore, represents the prop
erty and intelligence of the people.
Very few took the trouble to vote,
showing that the demand for natl
onal Legislature was the demand
not of the people, but of those who
hoped to rule the people. The small
number who voted in one of the Man
lila districts elected known criminal
who had also the faculty of doing
politics. We do not know that the
people of all the American cities can
consistently allege that as evidence
of the unfitness of the Filipinos for
self-government. What the Philip
pine Assembly will do will be mat
ter of much interest. We have call
ed it into existence in accordance with
our promise and at the time when
promised. 1t can enact no improper
legislation, for the Commission and
the Governor-General stand in it's
way. The question is, Will it enact
useful legislation or talk politics?
The latter, or worse, is what is con-
fidently predicted by our European
critics, learned in Oriental ways. The
Speaker elected is said to be dis
Greet person of the National" or
independence" party, which is in
majority in the Assembly We have
established the first native elected
Legislature ever created by white
men in an Asiatic community. With
the exception of the Japanese lower
house it is the first elected Asiatic
Legislature which ever met. And
now we shall see what it will dos.

Queens Taller Than KINGS.

Queen Alexandra is taller than King
Edward. The Gar of Russia is much
smaller than his beautiful consort,
and the German Empress has a
greater height than the Emperor.
The King of Italy is known as one of
the smallest rulers of his time, and
scarcely reaches to the shoulders of
the truly regal Montenegrin princess
whom he married about eleven years
ago The Queen of Portugal also is
taller than King Carlos, and likewise
the Queen of Denmark. Queen
Louise is swede, and belongs to
nation of big people. The Queen of
Roumania and the Quen of Spain also
equal, If they do not exceed. their

SANDERS NEVADA MEN.

Charles NJ. Schwab, the steel man,
came into Nevada about three years
ago and interested himself in the
mines in the southern camps and in
various other sections of the state.
Whether his investments have proven
profitable to Mr.. Schwab The News
does not know. In a public inter-
view the other day in San Francisco
he said that he had not met a man
in Nevada who told the truth
Schwab is the little tin god who
was somewhat Scared few years
ago by being removed from the head
of the Pittsburg steel trust for dip
ping into the gambling games at
Monte Carlo with too lavish hand
Because his Nevada investments
have not all turned to gold he de-
nounces the whole state as untruth-
full.
Nevada got along without Schwal
for many years and can still live
without him. He got a good grilling
by w s. Ralston in San Francisco
the other day and The News repro
duces it elsewhere to show thai
Schwab is as unjust as he is un
truthful.

Every investigation entered upon
by the United States inspectors into
mishaps experienced by steamers de-
monstrates that the American system
of guarding against trouble is one
of locking the door after the steed has
been stolen. What is needed in this
country is method of inspection
which will make men in positions
where they are responsible for the
life of human beings feel that they
must perform their duties faithfully
That state of mind can only be pro,
duced by exemplary punishment for
derelictions, whether they result dis
astrously or otherwise. More good
will be accomplished by breaking
an officer for carelessly leaving open
port hole in a fashion calculated
to endanger a ship, even though no
evil results follow, than to mete out
the same punishment in the event of
disaster The ounce of prevention
in such cases is worth thousands of
pounds of cure

1t is reasonably certain that the
Filipinos are not enthusiastic admir-
ers of our policies in dealing with
the Philippines, and the American
residents of the island seems to be as
far from being satisfied with it as the
natives. AS for the American people
they are now too prosperous and too
busy to bother much about the sub
ject, but later on, when revenues be-
gin to shrink and expenditures fail
to share in the shrinkage, more ac-
tive interest may be taken, in which
event it is pretty safe to say that
there will have to be better eco
nomic adjustment of affairs or there
may be denial of Taft's declaration
that the United States does not de-
sire to get rid of the Philippines.

WILLIE GOLFERS RUDENESS.

Willie Collier is one of the best
known comedians in the country, but
at Newport, the home of those who
give monkey dinners and indulge in
other inane follies, few evenings
ago Collier carried out little i'm
promptu performance that should
prove as an object lesson to the con-
spicuously rich.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt and titled for
eigner whose name sounds like a
combination of cough and a sneeze
occupied prominent box at the
theater in which Collier was giving
his performance.
The occupants of the box were
noisy, boisterous and carried on a
general conversation in high pitched
voices.
Collier paused, lost his lines and
fioundered an instant by reason of
the interruption. Then turning full
upon the people in the box he ad-
dressed few words, pointed and di-
rect, in which he severely rebuked
the disturbers.
In a moment every eye in the audi
ence was turned upon them and they

THREE NOTABLE DEATHS.

Seldom has death, in one brief
month"; made such inroads upon the
joy and the beauty Of life as in the
period which deprived the world of
Saint Gaudens, Grieg, and Mansfield.
1t is long since the lovers of art, mu-
sic, and the drama have so mourned
together.
In the death of Augustus Saint
Gaudens America has lost the fore
most sculptor of her history, a man
whose inspired chisel has adorned,
not the palaces of the rich, but the
open ways and quiet places of the
people. With the passing of Edward
Grieg goes the last of the worlds
greatest music composers, and Nor
way sustains a national calamity.
Richard Mansfield represented all
that is best in the drama of America
serious purpose, devotion to his art,
indefatigable labor.
The memory and the works of
these creators of beauty we will have
with us always, and time will raise
up to take their places in the en-
richment of life.

KIPIING'S SOLUTION.

Rudyard Kiplng has said many
sensible things in his writings, but
in all of his published works he has
said nothing more sensible than the
quotation which is accredited to him
by the newspapers at Toronto, Can
ada. with regard to the solution of
the yellow peril in Canada.
For many months, in fact for sew
eral years, Canada has been more or
less troubled by apprehension OF an
invasion of Chinese and Japanese.
The yellow hordes have swarmed to
Canadian shores in such numbers
that labor conditions have been ma
terially unsettled as a result.
So serious mas this matter become
that serious riots occurred in many
parts of King Edwards American do
main, and Kipling was sent as a spe-
original investigation and report to
the authorities of the home govern
ment.
After carefully reviewing the sit
uation at close range and examining
many persons who were possessed of
information concerning the situation,
Kipling summarized the remedy in
a single sentence.
You want labor, and the way to
keep the yellow man out is to get
the white man in"
Kipling then said that there are
100000 more people in England
than should be there. These people
can well be spared from that coun-
try, and they are needed in Canada
if the supremacy of the white race in
that part of the western hemisphere
is to be maintained
There are many classes of work to
be done in all parts of all countries
that would be left to yellow labor il
there was that class of labor to be
had. On the other hand, if there i.
not the yellow labor, this work mus
bn MI, IN 10 70,
to do it. White labor demands great
err remuneration, and there is, con.
seqnently, more money in circulation
than if yellow labor is employed, and
there is as natural result, greater
prosperity.
Kipling's observation may as well
be applied to local labor conditions
as to Canadian labor conditions
There are classes of work here that
could be RELOCATED to the Chinese
the Japanese or to other types of
men who are not the equal of Ameri-
can laborers, but there is no tend
ency on the part of Nevada employ
ers to try to supplant the white by
the cheaper classes.
The reverse is the rule in this
state and in comparison with the
number of white men employed,
there are but few foreign laborers.
Nevada owes much of ner prosper
ity to this condition, and it is to be
hoped that the employers of labor in
the state will never change their
views. 1t will be sorry day for this
state if the Chinaman, the Jap, the
Korean or the races of southern Eu-
rope are permitted to invade this la
Dor field

we're subjected to the scrutiny of
thousands.
Strange to relate, the richly gown
ed women with their gem studded
lorgnettes, the foppish men in the
box subsidized and created no further
disturbance during the performance.
They probably designated Collier in
their own minds, and in their own
limited circle, as a rude, coarse
person"
There were others in that theater,
undoubtedly who had the same
though in their minds, but the
thought was directed toward the men
and women of wealth who either
were lacking in good breeding, or
who bedazzled by their own self-im-
portance, forgot to take 1t with them
to the performance.
