TRADE OF THE PHILIPPINES

Pending legislation for closer COM
mercial relations between the United
States and the Philippine Islands
lends especial interest to a statement
of the commerce of those islands just
compiled by the bureau of statistics
from the summary of the commerce of
the Philippine Islands, prepared in the
bureau of insular affairs of the war
department. 1t shows the total value
of imports into the Philippine Islands
in 1908 as s29,1S6,120. Merchandise
imported free of duty in connection
with the construction of the railway
systems of the Philippine Islands,
amounting in 1908 to S1,747,312, and
merchandise imported for the use of
the government, are not included in
this total of $2e,186,120.
The official figures of the United
States government of exports to the
Philippine Islands in the calendar
year 1908 show the total value of all
merchandise declared for expectation
to the island $9,906,697; while the
official figures of imports from the
United States into the Philippine
Islands, exclusive of government free
entries and supplies granted free entry
in connection with the construction of
the railway systems of the Philippine
Islands, in the same calendar year are
but $5,101,S36 the discrepancy occur
ring chiefly by reason of the fact that
the Philippine figures do not include
supplies granted free entry in connec-
ton with the construction of the rail-
way systems of the Philippine Islands
and free entries for governmental use.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
United States now stands as mother
country" to the Philippines and pro-
duces about everything that the peo-
pie of this dependency needs, the inn

congress when it took up the tariff
iquestion. President Taft asked the ma
ition's w-makers to provide a tariff
for revenue, in other words a tariff
of low schedules which would invite
linportations in large quantities The
house OF representatives worked some
what along these lines in preparing
the Payne tariff bill. The Aldrich crowd
| in the senate are working the other
way. They are revising the tariff up
wards in almost every particular and
| they estimate that it will bring in an
| increased revenue over that secured by
| the present tariff law of about $40. 000, 900,
which will be a drop in the bucket of
deficit That's one of the reasons why
an income tax. or its temporary SUBJ
stitute, a tax on the net earnings of
| corporations, has become almost a ne
cessity.
And still with these conditions pre-
vailing Mr.. Aldrich. the champion pro-
tectionist and high tariff devotee of
the land, has let a chance slip by to
raise all the revenues that the country
would need by placing one article on
the free list. This thing is radium.
The latest quotations on this valuable
stuff is IS, 100000 a pound. Now if Mr..
| Aldrich had been true to his instincts
and principles he would have put an
ad vaIorem duty on radiunn of say SO
per cent a pound. The importation of a
hundred pounds would bring in a reve-
nue. under such a tariff charge of $780,
600, 600.
| Some persons will say that this ar
gument is ridiculous. It most certain
ly is. There probably isn't a pound of
radium for sale in the whole world.
| IF therewere so much as a hundred pounds
| of it, its price would be nothing like
sS000,000 a pound. It ought to be adj
rnitted free, anyhow. because it is used
for the purpose of important scientific
research.
| But foolish as is this argument for
the taxing of radium for the purposes
| of revenue, it is no more so thansa good
many other arguments which have been
presented by Mr Aldrich and his
friends to sustain many of their false
positions On various of the tariff is

SIDNEY CLARKE.

Through the death of Sidney Clarke
in Oklahoma, there passes away a west
ern pioneer of heroic mould,-a man
who played most important role In
the making of the early history of Kan
sas. and who, when that work was
done. moved his home and his energies
to the virgin fields of Oklahoma, where
he materially helped to make what was
q prairie wilderness, a state with
glorious prospects.
He came to Kansas in 1858 and set
tied at Lawrence. He was not long in
getting into politics and in 1862 he was
elected to the state legislature. Then
he became adjutant general of volun-
teers by an appointment from Presl-
dent Lincoln. During period of the
civil war he was an assistant to the
bureau of provost marshal general with
headquarters at o~--~1worth. AT the
same time he became chairman of the
Republican state committee and was
an ardent supporter of Jim Lane
and from then on his political star was
in the ascendancy. He went to con-
gress as the sole representative of Kan
sas in the house of representatives. in
1854 and served out three congressional
terms, but was defeated for reelection
in 1870. Eight years later he was again
elected to the state legislature and
honored by that body in being chosen
its speaker.
Signal service did he render to Kan
sas while i'll congress. He defeated the
famous Usage land treaty which would
have turned over millions of dollars
-,
roads and was instrumental in passing
bill which gave to the state much oil
it's public school land which has proved
such a valuable adjunct to the de-
velopment of education in Kansas. He
was bitterly assailed for many of his
acts by his enemies at home. but
| whether or not these accusations
against his personal integrity were de-
| served, he must be set on high plane
among the. men who have rendered
benef1cent work to this great com
monwealth.
When he transferred his activities t.
Oklahoma he pursued the same course
| that had marked his way in Kansas
| He struggled with might and main fol
| the rights that belonged to the people
of that newly settled territory and ht
| has been credited with being the frs
man to demand that Oklahoma bt
| opened to settlement and made ter
ritory. This was done by him while h
was still a Kansan. 1t is but few meT
who have played such prominent part:
| in the development of two common
wealths as did sid" Clarke. And i
would not be bad plan for Kansa:
and Oklahoma to erect Jointly a littlt
monument to his memory on the lin,
that divides them.

According to reports from Kansas
City, Mo-, j. E. MARCEL, the former
banker of Highland, Kan, is a fugi-
tive from justice. It is claimed that
he succeeded in defrauding banks in
Kansas City out of $4,000. 1t will be
easily remembered that MARCEL was
sent to prison for long term of years
for wrecking bank at Highland some
five years ago, and also for swindling
several large banks throughout the
country. He was granted a pardon
more than a year ago by Governor
Hoch. Comment is unnecessary ex-

THE MILITIA ACT.

THE MILITIA ACT.
A board OF army officers will meet
at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont next
week for the important purpose of
conducting the examination of sappli-
cants for commissions in the volunteer
force. This is in accordance with the
provisions Of the so-called militia act,
which aims to maintain In the war
department a list of men of military
training, preferably those Of present
or former service with the national
guard, VINO would be useful as officers
in command of troops or in the per-
romance of staff duties in volun-
teer force raised in time of war. This
law is the result of the confusion
which attended the selection of the
commissioned personnel of the vol
unteers just before the war with
Spain. The choice of officers was
then largely a matter of political and
personal influence, and some of the
appointments were fragrant examples
or men with more pull than ex-
perience. While the patriotic motives
of those who applied for appointment
entftle the candidates to much credit,
it was appreciated by the military au-
thorities that it was desirable to con-
fine the appointments, so far as pos
ance with military work. 1t is for
this reason that the board has been
named to conduct examinations of
those who apply The candidates
who are nominated will be carried on
a roster kept in the office of the adj
jutant general.-Leavenwor Times.
A DESERVED TRIBUTE.
Orvil1e and Wilbur Wright, the sue
cessful aeroplane inventors of Dayton,
o., were the recipients of an unusual
but deserved tribute, when they re-
ceived yesterday from the hand of
President Taft the gold medals given
them by the Aero club of America. If
the Wright brothers are the type of
Americans they ought to be, this rec
ognition will be sweeter to them than
the plaudits of kings and princes
which thew received while abroad, for
lit is tribute from their own coun-
trymen and an honor that any An1eri-
can should cherish.
While Dayton was somewhat slow
to recognize the achievements of the
Wright brothers. the United States gov
eminent was quick to see the merit
of their invention. Before Wilbur had
won his triumphs abroad Orville was
demonstrating the possibilities of their
craft at Fort Myer, under the auspices
of the war department of this coun-
try. At that time President Taft was
the secretary of war and the chief of
the department which was giving gov
eminent encouragement to their eff
forts. The presentation of the medals
made yesterday came all the more ap-
propriate1y from his hands
1t was a great moment in the lives
of the Wrights. It was the browning
of their years of labor and expert
mentation. when jeers and scorn were
their portion, with the laurel of high
est approval. The medals they received
will be something to hand down to
