AS Seen by the Native.

The following was printed in the
August 18th issue of El Penacin,ien-
to. Manila, p. l.: "There was a
time when the thirteenth of
August was generally regarded as
the celebration of the establish
ment of friendship and mutual
corporation between the Ameri-
can and the Filipino, the latter
needing help and the former will :
ing and able to give it, working
together in the cause of human
liberty. "Mucho amigo, mucho
friend!" was the motto for that
brief period. But the illusion has
passed away and the thirteenth of
August means the date of the es-
tablishment of a colonial empire
OF the Uuited States in the Orient.
After all these years, during which
we have lived together, flattering
hopes have disappeared and the
painful reality has destroyed the
most persistent and credulous
optimism. We were to receive a
gradual preparation for liberty
until competent men could be
raised up among the natives Of
the islands to take part in the gov
ernment. What American has
left his office after eleven years
because Filipino is able to UNDER
take his work? The fiction has
been maintained that the Ameri-
can official was a necessity and
that his sojourn was sacrifice,
while the wealth of the islands has
been at his mercy and there are
few who have not benefited out
side their official employment by
business transactions which have
yielded them handsome profit.
What inducement has there been,
therefore, to recognize the ability
Of the Filipinos to take their share
Of administrative responsibility
The temptation has been too great

The Unpopular Queen of Italy

"Queen Elena of Italy," says
Kellogg Durland in Woman's Home
Companion for December, sis one
of the most unpopular queens in
Europe. Her court, which, to
meet the tastes of her people,
should be bright, popular, bril-
liant, is really the dullest, the
most stupid in the Western world.
l have lived in many. countries,
and I am more or less familiar
with all the courts of Europe, but
never have I heard a queen so
universally spoken of with disre-
spect and disapproval by her own
court. Queen Elena, in an Amer
ican phrase, plays to the gallery
then retires. She garners the
wheat and ignores the chaff. She
is quick to figure in dramatic ex-
ploits, but reluctant to submit to
the daily grind.
Brightly or wrongly, Queen
Elena has the reputation among
her own people for being the
stingiest queen in Europe. APP
parently this is true. She pat
ronizes almost nothing at all reg
ularly, and if once in a while she
lends her name to appear on a
public bill, it usually means this
and nothing more. As far as is
known, she gives less to charity,
in proportion to her means, than
any queen. If the world at large
appreciated to what extent she has
carried her ideas of simplicity in
dress, the glamour that surrounds
her would fade. It is impossible
to worship dowd-especially il
she be a queen, with all the splen-
dor and taste of the world at hel
hand.
81 have seen her driving in the
Campagna, or even through the
streets of Rome, when | would new
or have believed her the occupant
of her exalted position had I not
known her. One need not be ex-
travagant in clothes to be tasteful,
but Queen Elena is not even taste
| full. Here she Is in unfortunate
contrast to the queen mother who,
still living in Rome, is always ex-
4 quisitely gowned, and no matter
how simply always with unerring
taste"

How Tariffs. are Made.

1t is the popular impression that
a tariff is the slowly worked out
product of protracted congression-
al inquiry and matured thought.
This impression is confirmed by
long and apparently earnest sem
atorial debates over one or another
schedules. The people who sat in
the senate galleries a few weeks
ago and listened to the elaborate
discussion of the wool and wooden
schedule thought they saw how
tariffs were made.
That was great mistake. The
senate in adopting the schedule it
did merely ratified one which has
been agreed on months before by
outside parties. Last October east
and west met in Chicago. The
manufacturers of wooden goods of
one region and the wool growers
of the other came together to agree
on the wool and wooden duties of
the tariff law which they assumed
would be passed the following
year. Their conclusion was that
the Dingley law rates should be
re-enacted. That having been
settled, nothing was left but to
notify congress quietly after it
should, have been elected and had
convened.
The elaborate hearings before
the ways and means committee
were a farce. The wool and
woolens schedule was then res
judicata. The senatorial debate
was sham fight. AS the presi-
dent of the National Association
of Wool Manufacturers, says,
"This entire discussion is unnec-
essary and absurd. ;" After the
real tariff makers had decided
what the duties were to be why
spend them in talk?
If the allied eastern and western
interests had seen fit they could
have ordered Congress to raise the
duties, and presumably it would
have done so. 1t may be that the
public should be thankful for their
moderation. But what legisla-
tive mookery it is when few men
get together in private, make out
tariff schedules to suit themselves,
and then direct congress to make
it law. Now we began to under
stand how tariffs are made.-Chi-

Lack of Discrimination.

The great fault of the people is
deficiency in the power Of dis
elimination. If a hackman charged
man 500 for taking him from the
Planters to the Union Station, it
would be considered great in
justice. Everybody would say
that it was outrageous extortion, a
great wrong. And yet we permit
lawye ers and shrewd sophists to dis
cuss and doubt the right of the
community to limit in any way or
regulate the price of corporations.
"Would you deny to any man
in this country the fundamental
right to make all the money he
camp" they asked, Mortified Well,
that is just what we have denied
to the poor devil of a hackman.
Before the Civil War st. Louis
had law fixing hack rates, and
has several now. And remember
that the hackman does not enjoy
any special privilege. His enter
prise is strictly private; he has
asked the people to give him no
special grant of any kind. And
yet, if q grating, hackman at
tempted to soak patron for $40
for the trip aforesaid, he would be
in the police court next morning.
And there wouldn't be any fine
spun sophistries as to the ''integ-
rity of private contract" the moral
or legal right of the community Ito
regulate or thousand technical
tiles, with points so fine as to be
visible only to the legal micro
scope either. He would then and
there, in less than five minutes, be
soaked good and plenty on the
charge that he is robber and ex-
tortioner. In this petty affair, the
people can see the justice, but in
the wholesale robberies that con-
Germ corporations that have given
a moral bond to treat all the peo-
pie justly and fairly, because they
have received valuable franchises
from the people, there Is tenden-
cy to stand and hear sophistries
and to allow the courts to iuggle
technicalities.
The Standard Trust makes from
100 to 1000 per cent. on great
staple of commerce; the Beef
Trust makes as much on uncount-
ed millions of "water;" the Sugar
Trust robs the people of another
great staple, and yet we can't get
it through our heads but that all
these big monopolies may not
have some sort of right to charge
whatever they please for their own
goods. But the petty CRATER, the
poor hackman, who has no un-
fairly created monopoly, and
whom you don't have to patronize
at all if you don't want to--Lord
what short work we make of him
! Which all comes of the inability
of the people to disabuse theil
minds of the error that wholesale
robbery has some kind of redeem
ing virtue about it that petty rob.
berry does not have.--The Censor.

CHRONIC BRONCHITIS-THE COUGH
THAT RACKS.
lHnn tinl1nd f,,c,,, L. nt ,,-1,n1-

HOW TO STOP COUGHING UP.
But if advice as to prevention
is wasted, no doubt wise counsel
regarding the cure OF chronic
bronchitis will be eagerly well
coined. We believe that we are
in a position to give such counsel.
1t is probable that most of the
readers of these lines who have
bronchitis have tried out to
their entire satisfaction the
various "cough cures" that have
been recommended or advertised,
the majority have visited times
without number the family doctor,
and not few have passed through
the hands of several specialists, and
are still coughing. Having
"coughed up" so much for medi-
cines and medical fees, they will
view. with suspicion and disdain
any suggestion to consult another
doctor.
That is the advice here offered,
however. Only it is an osteopath
that you are urged to visit this
time.
i The osteopath will not promise
you an immediate cure. He knows
that he can assist the efforts Of
Nature. to get rid of the inflam-
nation and the inflammatory
products, but it can not be done in
a week, or a month. But he will
caution you that if you cannot be
reasonably patient and wing
in the treatment, you cannot
reasonably expect a cure.
Then, too, he will demand and
expect your corporation. Since
his business is to aid Nature, he
will call on you to help by using
only suitable foods in proper
quantities, wearing seasonable
clothing, avoiding undue expos
ure, taking appropriate exercise,
and above all, getting plenty Of
sunlight ond fresh air. Light and
air are absolutely necessary to the
recovery from this catarrh Of the
lower air passages, which is what
chronic bronchitis really is.
Will not careful attention to diet
exercise, fresh air, etc., cure the
disease without a doctor? Possib.
ly, in some few cases. But even
in these the cure will be very much
more hastened if an osteopatE
administers judicious treatment
In most cases his treatment is alb.
solutely essential to cure. The
vasomotor nerves and centers need
his attention. The circulation to
the affected parts must be i'm.
proved. Almost always spina
, or rib LESSONS are found that re.
quire special treatment for theil
removal. The thickened and in
famed mucous membrane on the
inner surface Of the tubes canno
; be reached and its 'normality re-
stored in any other manner se
directly.
Osteopathy, promoting as i
does the normal nerve tone ant
blood distribution, surely offers ts
the bronchitic victim the best hope
Of recovery from his malady.

BIG TOBACCO CROP
IN SOUTHWEST GEORGIA

AMSTERDAM, Ga, Aug. THE tobac-
co crop this year bids fair to be the best
in the last three years. This is the only
money crop raised in this section Of
Georgia, to amount to anything-cotton
being paid very little attention. The to-
bacco raised in this section is used for
cigar wrappers, and is the most valuable
tobacco raised in the United States. II
completes with the wrapper leaf imported
from Sumatra, and the seed planted Is
imported from that island.
There Is a very limited area Of terri
tory that will produce this wrapper to-
bacco, 1t being practically all embraced
in Decatur and Grady counties, In Geor-
gia, and Gadsden county, Fla.-all adj
joining counties. The industry has at
tracted capital from all over the country
in the past few years, and ii has also
been a boon to the small farmer. Num-
bers of the latter, who were only a few
years ago either share cropping or work
ing for wages on farms owned by Other
people, now own their own places, with
stock, buildings, etc, and are comfort
ably situated
The crop for the past two years-1907
and 1s0S-was poor, but the 1903 crop shows
I'D much better, being OF lighter color
and a nner texture, which Is the result
sought for in this grade of tobacco.
Weather conditions bear heavily upon the
value of this crop, as too much or too
little rain at a critical time will AFFECT
this crop to a greater extent than any
other grown in this country-not except
ing truck farm products.
The seasons this year were very IA
vorable. with the exception of heavy rains
during the time the tobacco was being
cured in the barns. This necessitates ex-
treme care to prevent the damaging Of the
leaf. on account of its susceptibility to
atmospheric conditions. A large amount
Of tobacco was lost in this way In 1907,
and this learned the farmers the great
Importance of close attention at this time
consequently the loss in this way, during
the present season, has been comparative
ly small.

GOVERNORS DIFFER
OVER APPOINTMENT

Governor Brown is considering the APP
pointment of a solicitor for the city court
OF Columbus TO supplant the appointment
of W. Cecil NELL by Governor Smith.
Attorney General Hart has decided that
the appointment of Mr.. NELL will not
hold because the term of office Of Mr..
II. II. Swift. whom Mr.. NELL was Sc
lected to succeed. had not expired when
Governor Smith left office.
Attorney General Hart, in an opinion
requested by Governor Brown, says that
the appointment was made inadvertently
by Governor Smith
There is a strong probability that MT
NELL will be reappointed by Governor
Brown, for the formers name has been
presented with the strongest indorse-
ments. There are two other applicants
T. Hicks Fort and d. L. Palmer. lawyers
of Columbus.
Lester c. Slade, OF Columbus brought
up the question OF Mr.. Neill's appoint
ment. He pointed out that the term of
ONCE OF H. H. Swift. present solicitor
OF the city court OF Columbus, does not
expire until October II.

FULToN'S RETURNS SHOW
A GAIN OF $6,297, 750

The total Of Fulton county's tax returns
for 1909 was made known today by Tax
Receiver Armistead. The county's taxa
BILE property as returned is $s1. 9O6. 945.
showing an increase of 1921. $50 over last
year, or a gain of 1-3 per cent.
This increase has been exceeded only
by that OF 1907, but this may be explained
that much property returned then was
the result Of inflated conditions Just pre-
ceding the panic of -90S.
The city whites this year returned $71.-
745, 375. and the total white returns this
year were $50, 400, 9s5. The total colored re-
turns this year were 81, Ak. $50, of which
81, 221560 was in the city, and $274, 400 was
In the county.
The value of the real estate returned
this year is s56,s55,so5 and of personal
property s25,O5O,14O
The colored returns show a gain this
year OF 1929 us. The county whites show
returns this year of 81, GA 6l0.
Last years total returns were SO. SOS, 190,
of which the whites returned Sc. 1856, $50
VALUE is 500, 764. $3.50
Multiplying the amount of the returns
by 1-2, which is about the ratio between
the returned value of, property and Its
actual value, the actual value of Fulton
county's taxable property is shown to be
1904, 764, S62.50.
Inc CITY IOldA lot l5US Is StJ,oOO,SoJ,
against 1888. 010 for the county outside
of the city. Much Of the countys returns
were embraced in the new city limits.
COUNTRY DISTRICTS DECREASE.
For this reason many OF the, country
districts showed falling of as compared
with last year, their territory being en-
braced in the new corporate limits OF
Greater Atlanta. ..
1t will also be seen that a large part
of the property of Fulton county is it's
real estate. personal property, which in
cludes stocks and bonds machinery. au-
tomobiles. household effects, etc. cutting
a comparatively small figure by COMPARE
son.
Tax Receiver Armistead is delighted
with the showing made. He says the fig
ures represent n healthy value and in
crease, and indicate that the county
future prosperity is resting on solid
foundation. The receivers force was
greatly aided this year by the use of a
Burroughs adding machine.
