FILIPINO SAVINGS BANKS.
The Real Missionaries of Civilization
to the Philippine Islands.

The Real Missionaries of Civilization
to the Philippine Islands.
The Filipino has good reason to express
his gratitude to the United States. He is
walking we'll in the high road to civiliza-
ton and it was this country which set his
feet on it. Since his fathers had fallen
under the iron hand of Spain access to the
high road of progress was denied him. He
was kept back in the bush while his mas
tiers arrogated to themselves all the paths
leading upward. But America made his
development possible, brought him up out
of the bush, and showed him the way to a
seat among the nations.
Perhaps nothing that our arms have
done nor any act of our laws nor any ex
preston of our sympathy has accomplished
more for the helping of the Filipino into
civilization than the establishment of the
postal savings bank system. Whatever
may be said against the adoption Of postal
savings banks in our own country, it is
certain that it is the very first step upward
upon which the Filipipos as whole people
have set their feet. 1t has taught them
to save. That is the first rung in the lad
der which leads from barbarism into en-
lightenment. Until a people are brought
to realize the need of abstaining from pres
ent enjoyments in order to accumulate
store of materials for future uses it can
never be self governing, cohesive polit-
ical body capable Of maintaining itself.
Until he appreciates the necessity of saw
ing, man never works more than is required
by the demands of the moment. He
is virtually barbarian whose chief labor
is to gather what nature has spread out at
his feet.
But the moment he begins to save, man
has taken a step high above the barbarous
animal he was. He becomes thinking
being, an investigator and worker. 1t
is no longer the present of his being which
gives him concern, but the future, and as
he works toward it he ascends the ladder
higher and higher toward civilization.
Prior to the establishment of the postal
savings banks the Filipino had little thought
of saving, little incentive, and little oppor-
tunity-as he saw no way of doing it sue
cessfully. But the postal savings banks
furnished him with way to save and an
incentive. He saw his few boarded pesos
grow and fatten with interest. He saw
that if he left them little while in the
care of the government he could take out
more than he put in, without anything
more being done on his part. The idea
appealed to him. So he began to save and
to grow by it, like his boarded pesos. 1t
is the postal savings banks which may yet
prove the real missionaries of civilization to
the Philippine Islands. ds.-Washington Post.

INQUIRING ABOUT ROADS.
r. F. D. Carriers Asked To State
Condition OF Roads.

That the government will require the
various township supervisors to put the
county roads in passable condition, is indi-
Gated by inquiries now being made of all
the R. F. d. carriers concerning the roads
which they traverse. Each carrier is asked
to fill out query blank stating the kind
of roads they have to use, together with
the condition of these roads.
For some time the carriers have been
complaining about the condition of the
roads, and it is claimed that many of them
at certain seasons Of the year are impassa-
BILE and retard the service. Action has
been taken on the matter by associations in
this and other States, and so persistent has
been the clamor that the government has
taken up the matter. The fourth assistant
postmaster general is sending out the
blanks. These will be gone over and the
contents noted and the supervisors will it is
presumed, be required to pay more atten-
tion to their roads.

Bryan Drops Silver.

William Jennings Bryan was asked
whether his speech at Carnegie Hall, New
York, had been intended to include an in
timation that free coinage of silver was
still e public issue. Mr.. Bryan replied
"No, free silver is not an issue. What
said had no connection with the silver
question. simply referred to it to show
the change that had taken place in the
arguments that are being made at the pres
ent time.
'The silver question was an issue in
1896 because prices were falling and there
was no other relief in sight. Since gold
production has materially increased prices
are rising were until the recent panic
and will again as soon as normal conditions
are restored. The silver question, there

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

The legislature of Maryland last
week, passed the bill to authorize the
people to vote upon an amendment
to the constitution, to regulate the
elective franchise in this State.
The bill was passed by the neces-
sary three-fifths in each house, and
will 60 to the Governor for his sig
nature. When Governor Warfeld
declined to sign the bill to author
ize the people to vote on the
amendment in 1905, the whole
question, as to whether a bill OF
this sort, upon which the people
were to ultimately pass, needed the
Governor signature, as ordinary
bills do, and it was the concensus
of opinion that such bill does not
need the signature, and approval
of the Governor. In the present in
stance the question is not import
ant, as Governor Crothers is in full
sympathy with his party, in the de-
sire that such an amendment shall
be added to our constitution.
The amendment will be voted
upon at the general election in
1909, and if it is adopted will re-
move from our electorate most Il
the ignorant and irresponsible nc
groes, whose names now appear
upon our registration books.
This Legislation is not enacted
because the Democratic party is
unfriendly to the negro, for it is
well known that the Southern
white people who are mostly Demo-
Gratis and the Democrats of Mary
land, are the colored mans real
friends. They know him and ap-
preciate him at his true worth, and
desire in every proper way to help
him.
The Republican party enfran-
chised the negro, not that they
cared for him, but that they might
vote him, and they have been get
ting his vote right along, solidly
and continuously. All their cares
sing and patting the colored BROTH
er is confined to a political cam
paign and ends on election day.
The negro has just been the play
thing of Republican political dem
agogues, who cast him off the mo-
ment they cannot vote him.
There never was a greater crime
perpetrated upon any people than
when the Republican party enfran-
chised the negro; forcing him into
a position for which he was totally
untitled turning him from the pur-
suits of life for which he is quail
fed and making a politician of him.
The colored man may not, at
present, appreciate it, and the Re-
publican demagogue will endeavor
to poison his mind upon the sub
ject, but he will finally come to
realize, if this amendment is adopt
ed, that the best thing that ever
happened to him, was when he was
taken out of politics.
The negro is in our midst and
there is large field of usefulness
for him, if he will adopt correct
views of his condition and sur
roundings. Let him endeavor to
identify himself with the material
development of the community in
which he lives; acquire property
and pursue the avocations for
which he is best suited. In this
way he will come to respect him
self, and will be respected by his
neighbors, and every Democrat
in the State will try to help him
and give him a fair chance.
