Civilization Doubted.

A Rock Island engineer at Herring.
ton was talking about the dupllcity OF
farmers who bring claims against rail-
road companies for the killing OF
blooded stock when. as matter OF
fact, the animals were walking scare
crows. About four years ago." said
the engineer. before the Rock Island
bought the Choctaw, was on an en-
gine on the Choctaw Northern run
above Geary. Gray daylight was Just
coming on. so as one could see pretty
well ahead. and ! noticed two horses
on the track. They didn't appear to
mind the whistle or the bell and I
slowly drew Up to them and stopped.
The horses. two poor. old. worn-out
plugs. were still standing across the
road. and on climbing down on the
engine to drive them away found
that the hoofs OF their forefeet were
spiked down to the planks at the road
crossing the track. How's that for a
civilized country ?"-Kansas City

SATISFIED WHERE HE WAS.
Why Buyers Desire for Good Measure
Suddenly Evaporated.

The following anecdote is told OF
most careful and sedate druggist in
Keene, N. H.-a gentleman Of the old
school, who for so years occupied the
same corner. and who. In all his deal
ings medicinal, is very scrupulous
man.
Not long since a person of not par
tlcularly liberal practices, and withal a
close man, came to the good samaritan
with recipe that he wished put up.
and the man Of drugs proceeded at
once to attend to 1t.
While engaged in weighing out the
compound, the customer, with a smile
intended to be 'childlike and bland" :"
said to him:
Now. Doc. be sure and give me
good measure"
The druggist paused, holding the
scales at rest while he looked over his
spectacles at the man before him.
Sir" he replied solemnly, III were
to give you the merest grain moro
than this recipe calls for, you would be
in hell in five minutes"
The buyer didn't persist.

of the village. and was surrounded by
a board fence, he found the latch of

His wife, buxom person upon whom

Source Of Discomfort.

There is law that runs through all
things. which finds its cruelest force in
money. The more a man has the less
he thinks he has. All that God prom.
ises is all that we need. not all that wo
desire. Our desires are infinite-they
are made for God. and what is great
enough for Him is too great for any
thing less. We are always trying to
make ourselves little enough for tho
world to NIL us. and we cannot. This
is the source Of our divine discomfort.
We perish with hunger so long as We
seek to MI ourselves with the husks

The New phiIippine Assemblv.

A step toward the bestowal of self
government on the Philippines has been
taken by President Roosevelt, who has
directed the Philippine Commission to
call general election for the choice Of
delegates to d popular legislative body to
be known as the Philippine Assembly.
The Philippines are now governed by an
appointive commission Of seven members.
three Of whom are Fillpinos. but after
the election and organization OF the as
sembly, all legislative powers now vested
in the commission viii be exercised by a
legislature composed of two houses. the
commission constituting the upper body
and the assembly the lower. The new
Philippine government viii, therefore,
closely approximate that of Porto Rico.
with all the defects. from the colonial
point Of view, Of a partial autonomy close
ly controlled from Washington. In both
colonies the upper legislative body is ap-
pointed by the President, and being al
ways composed Of majority Of AmerI-
cans, constitutes a positive check upon
native legislation that runs counter to
the wishes OF the home government. In
addition TO this check. all Filipino and
Porto Rican legislation is subject to the
veto Of the United States Congress, which
reserves the power TO annul it, The Phil
ippine legislature is empowered to elect
two resident commissioners 10 the United
States whose duties are not clearly de-
fined, but who will, doubtless, be accorded
the same privileges on the floor of Con-
gress as have been granted by courtesy
to the Commissioner from Porto Rico.
While the measure of self-government
shortly TO be accorded the Ffipinos may
not satisfy the aspirations Of those .na-
lives who believe themselves capable of
managing their own political affairs. It
goes as far IN that direction as II IS nos
sible 10 go at present. The downfall of
the Cuban government, at first a most
promising experiment in autonomous rule.
has justified the restrictions with which
We have surrounded the beginnings Of
self-government in our colonial depend
encies. where. as in Cuba, Spanish ciyili-
cation left its abiding mark. We could
not withdraw the strong hand of the
home government from either Porto Rico
or the Philippines without inviting an
even worse fiasco than that which has
practically forced Cuba into the arms CT

ton whether she viii ever be rescued by
any stable forces from within herself.

caliy speaking, with a larger measure of

INTERNATIONAL TRADE.
Development Of Manufacturing Lead
ing 20 a New Tariff Era.

Development Of Manufacturing Lead
ing 30 a New Tariff Era.
K. T. Bndgmau. in the Atlantic
One Of the most compelling reasons for
affirming that q new tariff era Is opening
is the development which has taken place
in the manufacturing OF the country. This
makes directly against the present high
tariff and strengthens greatly those who
are demanding revision in order that they
may have larger markets abroad. II must
be remembered that this question of en-
laFging our foreign markets is vital 10
our prosperity. We are able to make
much more than We are now making. But
we are learning the lesson that foreign
ers cannot buy OF US unless they can
also sell to us. They must have a market
for their goods IL we are to have a
market for ours. More and more of our
manufacturers realize this fundamental
condition of international trade Conse-
quently there is a growing demand, which
wiz not take no for an answer, that our
tariff be 50 far reduced that foreign pro
ducers may fnd a better market here.
This is the inspiration Of the movement
which sor several years has almost
reached the point Of political rebellion IN
Massachusetts and Iowa and is gaining
strength for the next encounter. This eIe-
ment cares nothing for theories of polit-
ical economy. These men merely see a
market which they want and which they
can have If we lower OWr tariff.

BURTON's sELF-DECEPTIoN.
Why the Kansas Ex-senator believes

From the Kansas City Star.
If you have taken pains to anaIyze the
situation and to look at it from both sides
you cannot blame ex-senator Burton. Of
Kansas for falling to grasp the motives
Of President Roosevelt in contending for
equity and decency in the administration
Of the government. It would be too much
to expect that the motives of a man like
Roosevelt could be made clear to the
understanding Of a man like Burton.
When you pause to consider the record of
Burton and OF al other politicians of his
school; when you fix in your mind the
well attested fact that their sole interest
IN politics Is limited to individual gain
or TO personal reprisal. It ought TO be
cutie comprehensive that they can see
nothing in the crusade of the President
against public -spOliation but an ambition
10 build himself up or a desire 80 puH
others down.
1t is easy TO believe that Burton holds
himself to be deeply injured person.
