precede the decoration of graves, and
following is the program:
At nine O'Clock assembly call will
be sounded on the bugle by Guy
Smock il the court house square.
Then will follow prayer by Rev. Mr..
B%lanton, reading of the proclamation
of Acting Governor Nathan Jaffa, call
ing for an observance of the day,
reading Of Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech, and a fifteen minute talk by
w. c. Reid. Then will follow the dec
Grafton of all soldiers graves at
South Side Cemetery, SO of which

Mr.. Mckinley and with Secretary Root,
decided 1 would go and in a hurry.
L went under the influence of McKin-
ley's personality, the influence he had
| of making people do what they ought to
do in the interest of the public service.
Mckinley said he would stand by me
in the Philippines and he did He was
a man Of the most wonderful tact that
1 ever knew. Mr.. McKinley's idea
and it is his idea we are still carrying
out in the PhilippineS-waS one of be-
nevolent assimilation. That idea or
policy has come in for much criticism
and ridicule because We had to begin it
by fighting a war, because tranquility
was secured only through the exercise
of the sword. 1t was a cause of the
deepest sorrow to Mr.. Mckinley that
this was necessary and today we are
trying to carry out that which he would
do were he alive today. We are trying
to educate the people in the islands
and to teach them through partial self
government to attain the point where
ultimately they will be able to govern
themselves.
TT is necessary for us to stay in the
Philippine in order to benefit the people
there. The rising generation is eagerly
grasping the opportunities for education
that are offered and there are now half
a million Philippine children in the
schools.
Where providence has thrust upon
US the responsibility of a people, our
duty in aiding them is like that of men
favored by fortune whose duty it is to
help the helpless and unfortunate in the
community. 1 speak of the Philippines
with the confidence that comes of hav-
ing watched the progress of the islands.
In good faith we are carrying out an
altruistic policy. We must continue this
policy and hold the islands for the ben
eft of the people who live there. If
we use the Philippines for purposes of
exploitation of mere benefit to at the
expense of these people, we depart from
the faith and desert the base upon
which Mckinley would have had US
carry our benevolent work there to a
splendid success"

M'KINLEY'S IDEA.
His Philippine Policy Will Be Carried
on by Taft.

New York Dec. 14.-President-ele
w. H. Taft. speaking at the dedication
of a Mckinley memorial organ in
Metropolitan temple, told an audience
which repeatedly interrupted him
with applause the story of his official
association with the late president and
declared with reference to the Philip
pine Islands that the policy laid down
by Mr.. Mckinley in 1900 had been the
policy of the present, as it will be the
policy of his own administration in
the White House.
Mr. Taft will remain here until
Thursday, when he leaves for Augusta,
Ga, to spend the weeks preceding his
proposed departure to the Panama
canal. Mr.. Taft said his visit to New
York was devoid of political interest
and he did not expect to make any
cabinet announcements while here. He
is to address the National Civic fedora
ton Tuesday evening and the Ohio
society Wednesday evening.
The memorial and dedicatory serv-
fees at which the president-elect spoke
began with the morning service in the
church. Mr.. Taft attended that serv-
ice as well and was cheered by a great
throng gathered outside the edifice.
In addition to himself the speakers
were Andrew Carnegie and John j.
McCook.
1T was in February, 1901 said Mr..
Taft, in relating the personal MARIA
tive of his resignation from the bench
and entry into pubic llfe winch IN
eight years has brought him to the
presidency. that 1 received from Mr.
Mckinley a telegram which read like
this. if you have no other engage
ment you will do me a great favor by
calling on me in Washington some
time next week
81 did not know of any vacancy ex-
listing on the supreme court bench at
that time, but l went to Washington
just the same. Arriving at the White
House I was ushered into the cabinet
rom and there met the president.
Judge he said, I'd like to have
you go to the Philippines I said. 'Mr.
President, what do you mean by going
to the Philippines He replied, We
must establish a government there and
I would like for you to help
But, Mr.. President I said, L am
sorry we have got the Philippines. I
don't want them and think you ought
TO have some man who is more in sym
pathy with the situation
You don't want them any less
than 1 do replied the president, but
we have got them and in dealing with
them ] think I can trust the man who
did not want them better than I can
the man who did
You can readily understand" contin-
ued Mr.. Taft, the feeling of a man
whose only object in going to Wash

cancy cushion on the supreme court

SCORING THE POLICE.
Wichita Pastors Say They Are NegIi
gent and Demand Investigation.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 14.-Citizens,
indignant at the alleged failure of the
police to enforce the laws and protect
the public against ordinary violence,
are demanding an investigation. The
agitation came to a head when Rev.
Percy Fem, rector of the Episcopal
church, publicly denounced the police
for alleged failure to do it's duty. The
controversy got into the papers, and
even wives of the policemen have had
signed statements printed.
Rev. DR.. Fem announced Sunday
that he had unearthed sensational evil
dence, and has prepared a statement
which he has presented to the mem
bers OF the pastors conference which
meets Monday. He has convinced two
of the leading ministers of the city
that his complaints need thorough in
vestigation. He says that a grand jury
should be called, but hopes before in
sisting on this that the ministers con-
ference will take some action at its
meeting.

POWER OF WATER.
Under Certain Conditions It Is Prae-
 tieally Irresistible.

Under Certain Conditions It Is Prae-
 tieally Irresistible.
 When a man goes in swimming at the seashore and slaps the water forcI' bly with his hand or takes back dive from pier and lands squarely on his back he realizes that the unstable liquid offers not little resistance. Yet, says q writer in the New York Tribune il would surprise almost any body to see what waler will do under certain conditions.
 A stream from iireman's hose will knock a man down. The jet from nozzle used in placer mining in the west eats away Il large piece of land in day. toys with great powders as if they were pebbles and would shoot man over the country as though he were a projectile from a cannon
 There is Il story of an eastern black smith who went west and made bet that he could knock 8 hole through the jet of one of these nOZzles with q sledge hammer. He lifted his arms, swung the sledge and came down on the ten inch stream with a force that would have dented an anvil. But the jet. never penetrated, whisked the massive hammer out of the black smiths hands and tossed it several hundred feet away into the debris of gold beariug gravel beneath Il crum bling cliff After this the blacksmith left out iron when he spoke of hard substances.
 There is also a power plant near Durango. Colo. where United States cayalryman one day thought he had an easy job in cutting q two inch stream with his sword. He made q valiant attack The result was that his sword was shivered i'll two and his wrist broken.
 A little thinner jet of water descend ing 1900 feet to manufactory at GrenObIe. Spain and travelling at the moderate speed of 100 yards second fractures the best blades of Toledo.
 Of course some people will not be lieve such stories without having seen the thing and one may think fl proof of the scientific imagination to say that an inch thick sheet of water. pro- vided 1t had sufficient velocity. would ward off bombshells as we'll as steel plate.
 Nevertheless many persons while travelling have seen brakeman put a small hydraulic jack under one end of Pullman car and lift twenty tons or so by few leisurely strokes of the pump handle. and the experience of riding every day in a hydraulic ele- vator tends tO remove doubts of the magic power possessed by water hitch ed to a machine.

 Thornton felt that all Clinton was disappointed. beyond expression ana deeply ashamed of the showing he had made after the college had boast ed of his prowess as drop kicheT He remained in dejected seclus'o" during the intermission.
 But when the whistle sounded agalh he was like another man. Cllntoh had the south goal this time, ana clearly the quarterback saw girl Ill orange swinging Il pennant In the grand stand. Already the throngs had forgotten his fiuke in the hope of victory in the sec0nd half
 At the kickoff Thornton sent the pigskln seventy yards down the held and then plunged into the game Wlth [ ferocious energy He determined to redeem himself or perish fin the al ! tempt.
 Back and forth over the field surge1 the teams. while thousands shouted encouragement.
 Neither eleven seemed able to break down the defense of the other until 4 ,h nf tho half when Clinton began to come up the field steadily.
 Thornton. his head clear as bell, was playing at frightful pace, giving Darnall no time to catch Its breath afler each attack. But thirty yards from the goal line, Darnall braced itself heroically and stood like stone wall.
 "Onlv one more minute to play. called the umpire, and the crowds took ] up the shout.
 Thornton realized that in so short 1 time line plunges would be futile. There was only one hope of victory, another drop kick for goal. While only twenty yards away, the goal posts were off to the left at an oblique angle.
 There was about one chance in dozen of putting the ball between them, but Thornton took It. He stood back of the line ready to call the sig nal. and tha Darnall eleven, seeing 1t was to be kick. got ready to plunge l through and break up the play.
 Then suddenly the quarterback, look | ing directly between the goal posts. saw Leta in the grand stand in an at titude of breathless expectancy, and he knew more than the game depend ed upon his uuickness and skill.
 He stepped back few yards, and with his eye riveted on the figure in orange he gave the signal in clear, sharp tones, Three double two, elev- en"
 The ball struck bis outstretched hands and as he dropped if he shot out his right foot. The next second q ! big Darnall guard leaped over the line and struck Thornton heaG-on sending l the spot where he was hit.
 But the big man was half a second too late, for Thornton's toe had caught the ball squarely, and 1t went flying straight as a bullet between the zeal posts and up into the grand stand, fall Ing almost at Leta's feet
 A wild deafening yell of joy broke over the field, but the quarterback did not hear it. Ten minutes later, when he came to. girl was bathing his fore head and he caught the glow of her bright brown dress. The crowd fell back respectfully.
 Don't worry. Thornton. dear boy, she whispered. 'I saw you looking at ne when you made that wonderful kick, and know now how much I mean to you"
