The Case Against Machinery.

Nineteenth century.
 Is 1t not possible that man, in set ting to work forces extracted from nature. so to speak, as opposed to strictly natural forces--using the forces of steam and electricity and abandon ing the direct forces of nature, the winds, the streams, his own muscles and those of the beasts of burden may he on the road that reads to moral and intellectual death?
 Tn all human things there is a rise and fall. All blessings pushed beyond a certain limit become a curse. Sys- tems and nations decay and pernAps this may be one of natures means Tor hastening the downfall of an effete cf- vilization.
 The seeking after machinery as a saving of labor Is nothing more than a phase of the universal love Of ease and luxury.
 As individuals, would 1t not be well for us. if we were to lead a Hess com plex life, and wander less far from the Gad of nature from whence we eamei Supposing we were to insist on usfna hand made goods in our foods, cloth ing, furniture and buildings, another race of craftsmen would spring up much would be done to stay the de uorulation nf the country. the conges tiou of the towns and the denling O. much beanty--and look at it whici way you will. and be we or what re uRion we may, man has DO right c soil the beauty of Gods handiwork.

GUILT IS QNCHED
COLEMAN REPEATS CONFESSION TO
 DEFECTIVE PAYNE.
Negro Accused of Murder of Finley Tells OAaccr of His Presence
 whem Deed Was

Calvin Coleman the negro in jail charged with the murder of J. A. Finley, made practically the same con- iession yesterday to Detective. Payne that he made Saturday to his father. Lee Coleman. a
 In this confession, the alleged mur- derer of Mir. Finley admits he was present when the killing occurred. but he stilI duplicates other negroes in the crime. and declares they performed the bloody work. .
 In accounting for the bloody condi- tion of his garments, Coleman. held firmly to the statement he made to his father that the murdered man took hold of him and pulled him on top of him in his dying moments.
 With this confession in the hands of the police. the evidence against the negro Is now stronger than 1t has been since his arrest. Heretofore, the pos lice had regarded the confession tc the father with degree of discredit but since the negro has told the story to an officer of the law, his confession it is said, can be introduced into the trial of the case
 The police continue in the belief that Coleman had no accomplices, and thus far there is not G single piece of evi. dence In the hands of the police cor roborating the confession of Coleman implicatng other negroes.

Farmers unions and like organiza- tions usually go into politics and de- stroy any good that might ordinarily be done by them. We are glad to note the entire absence of politics from the unions of this county. and hope that they will steer clear of the grave yards of the past. If the unions will stick strictly to business and let the politicians take care of their own mat ters, there is ITO doubt of much good coming to the members, put the first time they give any sort of endorsement to any candidate for office. they may as well disband. .-

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Serious Talk of Grnnting the Filipino, -. UuAarse damcA

Serious Talk of Grnnting the Fifipinos Independence. Washington Dispatch to the New York Press.
 The question whether the Philip pines are worth keeping has been discussed more than once in recent White House conferences The Jap anese school question, which the Pres Ident Is trying to settle, brought the Philippines to the front more than q
 month ago. The President was sur prised to find that many of the most conservative men in his party had changed front on the question within | six months. They believe some pan should be framed by the Republican party that would let the United States get out of the islands at not re- mote period.
 The granting of independence to the | Filipinos and the payment by them or our expenditures in the island is the plan most favored. There Is objec- | ton to. any protectorate, 1t being held ! that this would eventually involve our government in trouble with some otnes nation.
 A Western Senator--AdcCumber- | suggested to the President that the l United States should take two perma I nent coaling stations in the islands; that two should be given to England, and that for these concessions the two nations should jointly guarantee the | territorial integrity of the islands af- ter independence. There would be no | guarantee of protection in case of war, but simply . pledge of national | ity. With this pledge. McCumber | thinks, no nation would have much pretext for war--Japan. for instance and the Fiiipinos could work out their own national progress.
 | The United States could keep con- | trol of the custom houses until all
 debts to this country had been col lected consequent upon the surrender | of the islands to the natives. It Is | agreed by all the leading Republic ans here that the retention of the Phil | ippines will mean the expenditure oi | millions in Notifications, the employ ment of a good-sixed army. and fre- | duent additions to our navy. All the | Republican leaders are desirous oi ! settling the question so as to get it l In concrete shape in the platform of
 the next Republican convention. | FUNERAL EMBLEMB
