Mrs. T.. c. Slower returned this week

Mrs. Emil Peterson is entertaining

The "Cablenews-American," Manila,

that attorney Bates f. Slower of the
Philippine Customs Service, delivered the
18th of July Grafton and handled the prob
lens of the country in discriminating
and truly eloquent manner. He was fire.
quently interrupted by applause and
rOuSng demonstration rewarded him at
the close of his speech" Among other
things he said: The Government of the
United States in these islands is the Won
der of the civilized world. The page of
history records no single instance of
nation which, while war was vet going
on. sent out soldiers. not armed with
and lead pencils. and from the time when
the first American soldier became n.
Maestro in the provinces, the Filipinos
became subdued more quickly than they
would have been from fear of a mailed
hard. Ana just here I want to pay a
tribute to the American public school.
When our forcfathers landed on the rock
bound coast of New England side by side
schoolholse. and ever since the Arneri-
can publ, school has been and ever Ayill
be the cornerstone of American liberty
and tho bnwark of our institutions. 1t
is in the school room that the different
races must meet upon equal ground
while yet in the formative period of
youth and before the deep preiudices of
society have taken possession of the soul.
1t is the American public school more
than ANYTHING else. which tends to bind
US together as people. Jew and Gentle.
Protestant ard Catholic. and the quality
of men educated i'm our public schools
is formed into character which moalds
the officers of our nation. We are APP
preaching an election in our country
which is destined to snap" the policy of
the United States for years to come. We
already know the name of the standard
bearer or the Republican side. William H.
Taft. We in the Philippines know Mr..
Taft and that he is well qualified for
the Office. He has served as Judge,
Cover nor-General and Secretary If War,
each position adding new experience to
an already distinguished career. Have no
fear when he is elected our next Prcsi-
dent Washington founded the nation,
Lincoln preserved it. Roosevelt strength
ened it. and Taft will maintain it,"

A gentleman was heard yesterday
commenting favorably upon the Au-
gusta method of posting the registra-
ton notices and the accompanying
lists of voters in conspicuous places
so that he who runs may read. In
some municipalities it is customary to
most the lists of voters at the polling
n,aces only and if the voter wishes to
know whether or not his name Is on
the list he must go to the place where
he votes and examine an indexed book.
If he is a man of limited education this
is frequently a puzzle which he is I'M
able to solve. III Augusta. however.
MANY Of the notices are posted at cor
rers of the streets on sign boards. ana
the names are all in plain type so that
a name may be found at once or It's
absence at once detected. In additlon
to this, upon the bulletin board at
CITY hall the entire voting list is post
ed of the voters in the city. Inclden-
tally it should be remarked that this is
the year of all years when voter
should be registered and early see that
his name is on the list. The import
ance of the coming state election IS
conceded on every hand: and in addl-
ton the matter of state referendum
is coming up for consideration. Ihen
every good citizen wants to participate
in a national election. but this Is a
privilege that cannot come to one I'M
less his name is on the voting llst.
