fashion to realize the eternal truth that
there must always be government, and that
the only way in which any body Of indi-
viduals can escape the necessity of being
governed by outsiders is to show that they
are able to restrain themselves, to keep
down ~wrongdoing and disorder. The Flip
mo people, through their officials, are
therefore making real steps in the direc-
ton Of self-government. l hope and be-
lieve hi these steps mark the beginning
OF a course which VII continue till the
Filipinos become r. to decide for them
selves whether thCy desire TO be an indie

land also well for those Americans, who
during the last decade have done so much
damage to the Filipinos by agitation for
an immediate independence for which they
were totally unfit TO remember that self
government depends, and must depend,
upon the Filipinos themselves. All we can
do is to give them the opportunity to
develop the capacity for self-government.
IL we had followed the advice of the fool
ish doctrinaires who wished US at any time
during the last ten years to turn the Fill
pino people adrift, we should have shirked
the plainest possible duty and have in
flicted a lasting wrong upon the Filipino
people.

Public Health.
It is highly advisable that there should

nation on the question Of preserving the
health Of the country. Through the prac-
teal determination in San Francisco Of
Misunderstanding rodents our country has
thus far escaped the bubonic plague. This
is but one OF the many achievements OF
American health officers. and It shows
what can be accomplished with a better
organization than at present exists. The

iteration and from many other sources,

There are numerous diseases now known to

public health legislation. This nation cannot

battle now being waged by all civilized
people with the microscopic foes of man

reproach that this government takes more
pains to protect the lives of hogs and OF

OMAHA. Dec. ITO the Editor of The
Bee: In your Saturday morning issue an
article taken from American Medicine"
appeared under the caption of Results Of
Emanuel Clinics" in which it was asserted
that the great majority of the cures Of
Christian Science were those Of nervous
and mental disorders; also that Christian
Science deals with a very small percentage
Of invalids. and these would live long any
way
1t is granted that only a small prepor-
ton of suffering humanity has turned TO
Christian Science for relief. but II it be
conceded that all the sufferers who have
done so, are in no immediate danger OF
dying. 1t must be admitted that physicians,
many Of whom stand high in the profess
sion. have mistakenly diagnosed some of
these cases.
Naturally. few people turn from the old
method until assured professionally that
from the standpoint of materia medica
their cases are incurable. Then in the ex-
perience of many mans extremity" has

After having burned up all the powder"
as DR.. Il. l. Wheeler expressed II, the
president called on the various pastors, the
city superintendent and several of the
teachers to speak. DR.. Wheeler based his
remarks on the necessity of respecting
all laws, insisting that laws must be car
ried out so long as they were laws. James
Wise and +. T. Ray supplemented his
remarks.
The teachers were represented by Miss
Ruth Turner. Miss Mayme Griest, Miss
Jessie Robson and Miss Maud Mcdowell.
All spoke Of the hearty cooperation be-
tween them and MI. McAuley. Miss Griest
said she knew personally of three boys
who had been completely reformed by the
effort OF the truant officer. Mogy Bern
stein supplemented this by saying that he
knew of forty-seven such boys. Miss Maud
Mcdowell said so far as her knowledge
went Mr.. McAuley was the only truant Of
ficer South Omaha ever had who came
anywhere near earning his salary.
Mr.. McAuley stated that he had acted
under advice Of the grand jury in collect
ing the evidence and he laid it down a
his platform that he would continue his
fight unless removed from his position OF
authority. After congratulations from all
sides the teachers withdrew and the board
took up the order of business.
In this. only a number Of routine affairs
were considered. The regular bills were
allowed. A number of teacher were re.
ported as advanced by Superintendent
Graham to fiji the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Miss Edith Carpenter. as
