Washington, April 3.-The voice of
the Filipino for the first time was
heard in the legislative halls of con-
gress 1t was a voice raised in pro-
test against the system of free trade
which the Payne bill seeks TO estab-
lish with the Philippines.
Standing in his place In the house
of representatives Pablo Ocampo de
Leon, resident commissioner from the
far off island possessions of the Unit.
ed States, criticised the proposition
for free trade. because. he said. it
would cause a decrease in the rev.
enues of the islands and act upon the
the possibility of Independence.
Speaking for the Filipinos and voicing
their sentiments Mir. Ocampo de Leon
pleaded for such independence.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Ocampo de
Leon's remarks Mr.. Goulden On. W
dinner in Washington, before he was
president. Mr.. Taft declared that when
he went to the Philippines he was
credibly informed that If he could get
the influence and active support of
Mr.. Ocampo de Leon he would have
no trouble in pacifying the Filipino
people.
Are they pacified now?" voice on
the Republican side was heard to say.
"They are pacified," was Mr..
Gouldens reply to his unknown ques-
toner.
Pleads for Free Hides.
Mr.. Young On. Y.) urged the plac,
ing of hides on the free list. 1.-The

Before the passage of the Dingley
bill the tanning business of this coun
try was In a healthy condition, but
since the imposition of the duty the
independent tanners, who were de
pendent on the home trade, have be
come discouraged and many of them
have simply become workmen for the
monopoly which the duty created"

dealers must ask the general council
for special license to do business.
Now, is It right for a liquor dealer
or his clerk to sit upon the board,
which passes upon the qualification
of the applicant and grants the spec
ial privilege to engage in the bust
ness?
We submit to the voters of Padu-
cab the fairness that proposition, and
we confidently believe that fair
minded liquor dealers will concur
with us in the opinion, that Scott
should not take a seat In the council
chamber. Corporations, operating
under franchises of the city, are pro-
hibited by law from having employees
on the board, for the same reason.

JUDGE CROSS AND THE WOMAN
OF THE TOWN.

In publishing the news item yes
terday concerning the assessing by
Police Judge Dave Gross of a fine of
s25 against Marie Graves, keeper of
a bawdy house, for selling drinks,
containing less than two per cent al
cohol. The Evening Sun entertained
no thought that the statement of
what transpired in the police court
would be so Indignantly resented as
it is by the News-Democrat today.
Its resentment has in some degree
blinded our contemporary to exact
reet.tude in the matter of facts.
It says the fine was assessed on
motion of City Attorney A. Y. Mar
tin and was two and a half times the
license for selling soft drinks. Now,
the warrant was for selling drinks,
containing less than two per cent al
cohol, and the license for that is
$3.50. So Judge Cross let the woman
of by paying one-tenth the license
fee. and it would have made no DIFF
ference if City Attorney Martin had
made such a motion. The court is
the one. who administers a fine, and
II Judge Cross had been half so in
dignant at this bawdy house keeper
for selling near beer. as the News
Democrat was at The sun for pub
fishing the story last evening. he
would have spurned the proposition
and given her the limit.
The fact is. however, IL was not
Attorney A. Y. Martin. but Eugene
Graves. the woman's attorney, and
Democratic candidate for the legls-
lature, who made the motion. and his
reason was that the woman was q
first offender.

AS TO THE COUNCILMANIC
TICKET

Naturally one feels some trepidation
about approaching so delicate a task
as criticizing, even in the slightest
degree, a man popular enough to run
second in a city primary to Judge
Dave Cross. who received over half
the votes cast, and about whom the
News-Democrat said HAS not Judge
Cross fulfilled every promise he made
to the people?"
(Let us pause only long enough to
add our own feeble tribute to so
great a man. We believe that all
those people to whom Judge Cross
made promiaes voted at that primary,
and from the way they voted he
must have kept his promises.)
But to return to our task-He
who ran second was Scott Ferguson,
the popular bartender at Ninth and
Washington streets. That he came
within AZ votes of getting half of all
the votes east, almost equalling the
record of Judge Cross. is sufficient
guaranty Of Scott's popularity, and
eminent fitness; for we have reasons
TO believe that a majority of the
voters. who so significantly endorsed
Dave Cross, are discriminating in
their taste. and the News-Democrat
says that Dave Cross has been a
painstaking official with the desire
at all times to do HIS duty"
II * no reflection on the other
candidates for Democratic nomina-
tions on the councilmanic ticket that
Dave Cross and Scott Ferguson so
far outstripped them In popularity
with those, who participated in the
primary: for. il must be remember
ed, that SO great was the confidence
OF those discriminating voters In
