if reform bill at Washington a year ago last winter"
 If the right treatment Is not being given our newly acquired islanders as regards tariff provisions, as Mir. Clark points out, then 1t is high time that reforms be instituted. It will not prove an easy task at best to bring the islands to that degree of com mercial and governmental success so much desired, It will he far more difficult If such a handicap as this of the tariff has to be continually met with. It was significant statement Editor Clark made at the conference when he said: "The entire yearly Philippine product of cigars wherever consumed is less than the increase in consumption of cigars from year to year in this country alone And yet our great tobacco interests fear Manila and practically wall it out, and the sugar interests take the same atti- tude. I have no fear now, said one large tobacco dealer talking with me. It's for my grandchildren that am concerned. He thought 1t fippant when suggested that the grandchil- dr,l, should they ever arrive, might be born into new conditions, and, when grown, might be able to take care of themselves" There must be an end of such things and al once. It is the duty of congress to take 1t in hand,
 On the other hand, while Mir. Clark is quite convinced that the islands are well worth having and sure to be- come eventually of enormous value." still he says he does not see people who know no winter, people to whom a fig leaf is enough for the outer man and a fig itself for the inner man, could ever equal those peoples upon whom nature forcesa struggle for exist ence with climatical and other difficul- ties. This may be so, We are not expect ing 10 see Manila become another New York But still the Philippine Islanders have made mighty advance strides during the few short years they have been under our flag. in spite of the centuries of disorder and mis- government which preceded our coming. IL was far from being the Manila of 1898 which so enthusias- tically greeted the coming of the American battleship fleet few weeks ago. The spirit of the whole city has come to he one of expectancy. The belief is abroad in the Philippines that there are great things ahead for the islanders. Next to actual realization such A feeling is most to he welcomed There are bright days ahead, In the mean time we must not forget our responsibility It must be met in the tariff as in every other regard.

4 Modern Ali Baba.
lRrIdgenort rarmerN

tBtldeeport Farmer,]
 There are many who will be inclined to admit that what MT Lilley prlnci- pally lacked to make him modern Ali Bnba was the necessary number 1f jars and sufficient quantity of boll- Ing oil, Why did Lilley tele- graph to Washington, asking his c~n- ireres to permit the passage of the re- hle fellow? There are people who will have sneaking admiration for bal man with the courage of his convic- tions but who have no patience at All with men who lack the primitive qual- ity of courage
 MT Judson should now explain why Lllley ran away instead of boldly fac- ing the music? Why, when the report denouncing him was on its passage, did Lilley not bravely arise in his seat and denounoe his denouncers?

A WHIRLWIND FINISH.

oh, the Bills. Bills, Billsl How their oratory fills The autumn air How they slap and bang and roar, How they fairly mop the floor With each other as they fight For the side they think Is right And they hand the other fellows out q scare! And the ear it fully knows, By the banging
 And the whanging, How the campaign ebbs and flows; How Bill Is now on top, How Bill has got the drop, How Bill will never stop;
 And the bunch Is humping hard, Regardless of regard For anything that doesn't show a hunch
 Every stump
 Is on the jump; Every Bill
 Is full of thrill. And the pulslng cart-tails wlggle-wag- gle fast
 With a Bill expounder out On every one to shout That nothing else but Bill votes should be cast.
 Oh, we know it's bound to be whirlwind finish, see? For the valleys and the hills The farmyards and the mills, The cities and the wills. Are shaking,
 Quaklng

himself in that connection which cs abolished his now widespread reputa- ton as q reckless crusader MT Brown ignores that part of the tes- timony-not the findings which shows that forged letters played conspicuous part in his campaign for legislative decency and which further shows that wnen asked to produce his letter press book he pleaded immunity under the constitution of the United States. The testimony--no the find ings-shows that MT. Lilley deliber- ately destroyed valuable evidence and concealed the fact from the investigat- ing committee. It shows that in his conversation with MT. Sherman his object was not to clear the halls of legislation of foot sore and rabies" but to revive competition in subma- rine boat manufacture The testmo- ny SHOWS that Mir. Lilley was constant y inaccurate in statement under oath whether the findings are technically satisfactory or not.
 So we could continue to give evir dence taken from MT. Lilley's own mouth to show that 1t Is the testimony that is of importance. in undertaking to measure MT Lilley's public character, and not the technical analysis of the findings to which Mir Brown, MT. Judson and MT. Mclean give their ex- elusive attention The testimony hope lessly condemns MT Lilley as a man unsuited to the consideration of mat ters affecting the public welfare how ever astute he may be in business deal.
