The majority Of the people. the Fill

own cock fights, their religious fiestas,
the ubiquitous moving picture machine
and the amusement park. At Palomar
park. the American has set himself up
as entertainer of the mUltituGes. 1t is
just like the Luna park OF White City at
fractions Of any other American city. The
rOller-COaster, the slides, the games and

their money.
The Filipinos take their pleasure quite
seriously, and in the dancing pavilion at
the park the couples move about To the

schedules Of Payne and Aldrich.
1t is true that the western fellows and
the eastern fellows tried TO job each

and the Republican press viii sound the
praises of the tariff thinkers and their
ignorant followers viii shout halleluiah.
Here's a sample Of the stuff that the
Republican brethren are going to be fed
with i'm the course Of the next two or
three months. or until the excitement
of tariff revision has passed away.
Listen TO this;
The Inter Ocean was among the many
Republican newspapers that doubted the
political wisdom Of a party pledge of tar
iff reduction downward. But the pledge
having been given. the campaign made
on il, the party returned TO power on the
strength of IL. there was but one thing TO
do-keep faith.
That faith has been kept The tariff
Is revised downward. We have made our
first step go the new dircCtiOn-toward
more intimate relations of the citizen
with his government through direct taxes
Some may not like this intimacy. But it
illustrates what more government means
and what il costs.
The extract is from the Chicago Inter
Ocean. a journal which had no liking
for Taft ana which has professed to be
straight Republican. The fact that the
senator's from the Mississippi valley
states opposed the bill gives the lie to
the Inter Ocean. It's a bad bill, lying.
