Protection of Citizens Abroad.


citizens travelling abroad and having pass
ports of our executive. based on consider
atoms that are repugnant to the principles
of our government and civilization. The
republican party and administration Will
continue to make every proper endeavOr
to secure the abolition Of such distinc-
tions, which in our eyes are both needless
and opprobrious.
Asiatic immigration.
''In the matter of the limitation upon
Asiatic immigration, referred to in the
democratic platform, it is sufficient to
say that the present republican admins
tration has shown itself able. by diplo-
matte negotiation and without unneces-
sary friction with se6-respecting govern
ments to minimize the evils suggested,
and a subsequent republican administra-
ton may be counted on to CONTINUES the
same policy.
Conservation Of National Resources.
1.-The conservation Of national resources
is a subject to which the present ad-
minist ration has given especial attention.
The necessity for a comprehensive and
systematic Improvement OF our water
ways, the preservation of our soil and
Of our forests, the securing from private
appropriation the power in navigable
streams, the retention of the undisposed
coal lands Of the government from aliena-
tion all will properly claim from the next
administration earnest attention and ap-
propriate legislation.
National Health Bureau.
II have long been Of opinion that the
various agencies of the national govern
ment established for the preservation of
the national health scattered through sew
eral departments should be rendered more
efficient by uniting them in a bureau Of
the government under a competent head
and that understand TO be in effect the
recommendation Of both parties.
Campaign. Contributions.
Another plank of the democratic plat
form refers to the failure of the republi-
can convention to express an opinion in
favor of the publicity Of contributions re-
ceived and expenditures made In cleo
lions. Here again We contrast our oppo-
nents' promises with our own acts. Great
Improvement has taken place under re-
publican auspices In respect to the col
lection and expenditure Of money for this
purpose. The old and pernicious system
of levying tax on tie salaries of govern
ment employees ir order to pay the ex-
penses Of the party In control Of the ad-
ministration has been abolished by
statute. BY law passed by the repub-
lican Congress in 1907. contributions

Philippines.
Gin the Philippines the experiment of
national assembly has justified itself,
both as an assistance in the government
of the islands and as an education in the
practice of self-government to the Ieo-
pie Of the islands. We have established a
government. with effective and honest
executive departments and q clean and
fearless administration of Justice; we
have created and are maintaining a COM
prehensiye school system which is educat-
ing the youth of the islands in English
and in industrial branches; we have con-
structed great government public works,
roads and harbors; we have induced the
miles OF railroad; we have policed the
islands so that their condition as to law
and order Is better now than It ever has
been In their history. 1t is quite unlikely
that the people. because of the dense ig-
norance OF 90 per cent, will be ready for
complete self-gOvernment and independ-
ence before two generations have pass
ed. but the policy of increasing partial
self government step by step as the people
shall show themselves fit for 1t should be
continued.
The proposition of the democratic plat
form Is to turn over the islands as soon
as q stable government is established.
This has been established. The proposal
then Is in effect to turn them over at once.
Such action will lead to ultimate chaos
in the islands and the progress among
the ignorant masses IN education and bet
ter living will stop. We are engaged in
the Philippines in a great missionary
work that does our nation honor. and is
certain to promote in q most effective
way the influence Of Christian civilization
1t is cowardly to lay down the burden
until our purpose Is achieved.
Change In Tariff Recommended.
MANY unfortunate circumstances be-
yond human control have delayed the
coming OF business prosperity to the Is
lands. Much may be done in this regard
by increasing the trade between the is
lands and the United States. under tariff
laws permitting reciprocal free trade in
the respective products Of the two coun-
tries. with such limitations as to sugar
and tobacco imported into the United
The admission of $4,000 tons Of sugar
from the Philippine Islands in a foreign
importation of 900 900 tons will have no
effect whatever upon the domestic sugar
interests of the United States, and yet
such an importation from the Philippine
Islands, not likely to be reached in ten
years. will bring about the normal state
of prosperity in these islands In refer
ence to sugar culture.
THE same thing Is true Of similar
| limitation on the importation Of tobacco
| 1t is not well for the Philippines to de-
| velcp the sugar industry to such a point
| that the business Of the islands shall be

TARIFF AND PANIC
Blamed For the tSeadily Increasing
Prices of Meat.

New York, June 17.-Tracing the
present high price of beef directly to
the money panic of last October and
the operation of the tariff laws, re-
tail butchers, wholesale dealers and
packers have declared that they could
see nothing on which to base predic-
tions of lower prices for the best
grades of meat. Dressed carcasses
brought from half a cent to cent a
pound more yesterday in New York,
than they did on Monday, rejecting
an increase since last week of one and
a half cents in the Chicago price of
live steers, bringing the cost of beef
ION the hoof" higher than it has been
in 25 years
Packers, wholesalers and retailers
declare that none of them are reaping
the benefit of the high prices, al
though small retailers have added
from one to three cents a. pound to
the charge for choiceTcuts in the last
two days. While there has been a
speedy and general increase in the
wholesale and retail prices of beef for
the last three months, the largest pro-
portionate rise has been In the more
expensive cuts. All interests declare
that the consumption of beef has fa1-
len off appreciably because of this,
some estimating the decline in sales
as high as 35 per cent.

CJMMINS OR FAIRBANKS.
Vice Presidency Situation Seems
Have Narrowed Down to These.

Chicago, June 17.-"Cummins or
Fairbanks" so the Cummins men
were declaring at the beginning of to-
days activities and they were adding
that Fairbanks would not take the
nomination if rendered and that if he
would take it, the administration
would not accept him. The supporters
of the vice president did not for a
moment accept this analysis of the
situation, but contended that with the
presidency disposed of, the supporters
of the successful candidate will be
only too glad to welcome the re-
nomination of the vice president. They
also urge that under such pressure as
is likely to be brought to bear on him,
Mr.. Fairbanks will not be able to re-
fuse to permit the use of his name.
The Iowa supporters of Cummins
are increasing in number and they be-
gan today with an earnest effort to
obtain the support of the full delega-
ton for their man.
At IL o'clock some of them were
still firm in their opposition, but the
Cummins people were not without
hope of success.
Senator Borah, who started the
Cummins boom, took note of the Iowa
movement and said that the outsiders
who favor Cummins would now wait
on the governors own statement.

The most successful work in de-

SENSIBLE HOBBY.
Well-Known People Devote Spare
Time TO Upbuilding Health.

Time TO Upbuilding Health.
There is no excuse today for any
person, unless tainted with an incur
able disease, remaining sickly, with
the great advance in medical discov-
cries and the growing popularity of
physical culture.
In the diseases of digestion and nu-
triton, for example, an acknowledged
specific treatment has been found in
Mi-o-na. 1t is relied upon as a cer-
tainty in relieving the worst troubles
OF digestion and assimilation, and
making a complete cure.
People suffering with headaches,
palpitation, sleeplessness, bad taste in
the mouth, coated tongue, distress af-
ter eating, specks before the eyes,
nervousness and general debility, and
any other of the many distressing re-
suits of a weakened stomach, should
profit by the discovery of Mi-o-na
stomach tablets.
Tallman and company have seen
so many cures by Mf-o-na of stom-
ach and general rundown state of
health that they are firm believers in
the power of this remedy to cure
practically every case and they show
this faith by giving a guarantee with
every 5O-cent box of Mi-o-na to re-
fund the money unless it does all that
is claimed for it. They take the whole
risk, and Mt-o-na will not cost you a
penny unless it cures.
