Progress in the Philipnines.

The Filipinos continue TO make
progress. Peace law and order pre-
vail throughout the islands, according
to the report OF Secretary of War
Dickinson, who recently made a thor
ough tour of inspection there. His
statement is full of announcement
and sympathetic Of the aspirations of
this people for independence, but he
declares that many of the most con-
sentative and substantial Fllipinos
would view premature independence
with CONSERVATION. On this point he
adds:
There are very many highly educated
Fflipinos-many men OF talent ability
and brilllancy--but the percentage in
comparison with those who are wholly
unframed in an understanding of. and the
exercise of, political rights under a re-
publican form Of government is so small
and under the best and most rapid devel-
opment possible under existing conditions
will for a long period continue so small
that It is delusion. If the present policy
Of control Of the Islands by the American
people shall continue, to encourage the
Filipino people In the hope that he admin.
| istration Of the islands will be turned
over to them within the time Of the
present generation.
It is one of the hopeful signs to
Americans and represents tremen-
dous stride forward that the legisla-
tive assembly, controlled by the ma.
tionalist party, which was organized
to oppose American rule, has enacted
laws for the promotion of development
and progress along lines advocated by
the governor general, showing that
responsibility steadies action" This
party is literally supporting education
and internal development. This is al
good and convincing proof as could BIZ
cited that American influence has beer
unselfish and righteous. Then we see
by further study Of conditions there
that steadily Americans are withdraw
ing and making places for Filipinos
In the civil service the number Of
Americans is steadily diminishing
and that of the natives increasing. L
is such object lessons OF their SINGER
ity as this that has convinced the Fill
ipino of American friendship and gooC
faith, and that is why, more than al
else, such vast progress is being mad,
by the natives.

Admittedly little can be expected at
the present short session Of congress
and we are not warranted In hoping
for results during the next two years
OF a democratic majority in the house.
The reasons are obvious. Secretary
McVeagh's contention that the weak
ness of our financial status is in the
system and not lts administration is
likely to be generally approved He
has the weight Of argument with him
in his stern rebuke OF Senator Al
drich's criticism that this government
could be run for $300,O0O,000 less.
When we reflect that at the time the
senator made that statement IL was
costing only about $66O,O0O,OOO to
run the government and that large
proportion of this was interest and
pension money, we may readily see
the injustice of the criticism. AS the
secretary points out, such unfounded
attacks are exceedingly harmful, for
they are bound TO carry q vast influ-
ence and SOW seeds of injurious mall
content, discrediting the splendid
economies the Treasury department
as we'll as every other department of
the government, is effecting.

No Monetary Reform Som

Secretary Of the Treasury McVeagh
makes a strong plea for a currency
reform, giving us a panic-proOf none
tary system instead Of the present one,
which he declares is panic-breeding.
II is a plea for greater elasticity In our
banking laws, which, OF course, Is not
a new demand in this country. But
the secretary prudently recognizes the
improbability Of such legislation soon,
when he urges that IF there Is no
prospect of such currency reform the
banking system should be developed
to perform an international function. 4"
He Joins the recommendation of the
president, In his annual message, for
banks or branches abroad, which, they
maintain, In connection with an ade-
quate merchant marine, would result
in building up American foreign com
meree. The secretary is even more
emphatic on this point than the presi-
dent, saying;
We shall never be a full-fledged COM
mercial nation unless we have merchant
ships OF our own and foreign banks Of
our own. We should have banks az all
ports that are important 10 our COM
merce
This principle, however. Is not
nearly so popular as is the demand for
more elastic monetary system. The
need Of this has been plainly shown,
and President Taft's monetary com
mission is hard at work on the matter
still we see no prospect for a satisfac-
tory change for at least three years

A PLAIN LITTLE WOMAN.

j. w Foley in New York Times
Just a plain little woman, with plain little
ways,
Who indies" the parlor with sweeping
and busting;
Whose nights are for resting between two
tired days,
Whose faith is abiding, heaven seeking,
Contrasting;
A tired little woman, who puts lads to
bed.
And lassies, and tucks them all in with
caressings
who breathes sweet prayer over each
little head,
And devoutly knows God and the worth
of His blessing
plain little woman with plain little ways,
Whose life Is, God knows, such dull
little story;
Who mothers a brood all her tired little
days
What measure Of treasure shall be hers
in glory?
Who knows her as I do, and treasures
the smile
That resists the attacks of all time upon
beauty;
whose days were so far cast, from fash
ion and style,
But, OH who walked close beside patience
and duty?

About the time President Roosevelt
instituted bis Investigation in the an
tbrscite coal case the statement was
printed in newspapers and magazines
that nine railroads carrying this coal
not only controlled its transportation,
but also It's production. Evidently
this was a base libel. for the circuit
court OF the United States has diseoy-
cred that there is not even an agree
ment between the coal-carrying rail-
roads that governs rates or affects
prices illegally, and that the charge Of
conspiracy Ia this direction IL un-
founded And as this decision comes
after a period of three years, of course,
il lie all the more notable, whether Il
will ever prove popular or not
The outcome of this case must be
generally disappointing It is proba-
bic that the matter had been forgotten
by most people, for so many other
things have come up in the last three
years to require attention. The lay
man must not be blamed II he fails to
appreciate the necessity of taking
three years to determine the facts in
case of this character. II does seem
that IL they are so apparent as the out
come seeks to make them they might
have been discovered long ago.
The production of anthracite coal
continues to increase year by year and
wages in the mines have not Of late
undergone any appreciate change. In
prices to the consumer what changes
have been made are upward, never
downward. 1t is one of the anoma-
lies of this industry how such condi-
itions-increased production. increased
consumption, with no corresponding
increase in cost of mining, serves to
keep prices on a rising level. Ger
tainly it is a well-managed business
that can maintain things that way,
and that, too, without any agree
ment" as to prices or transportation.
All honor to these barons OF the black
diamond valley of Pennsylvania We
gladly pay the little extra each winter
to witness such superb skill. In the
meantime let us hope that If the con-
spiracy is not in restraint of trade Il
be dissolved, anyway, in the interest
of fair play.

WHY NOT PUNIsHF
WOODEN Importers Caught in the Act

Wooden Importers Caught I'm the Act
of Cheating.
Chicago Tribune.
Restitution, II is said, has been made of
f25,00e to the government by four wooden
importers, the sum representing the amount
out OF which they had defrauded the Gus
toms by means Of false invoices and un-
dervaluations, It Is announced that the
government does not intend to prosecute
the offenders and that justice is satisfied
by the payment of the money due
This is another case of base ingratitude
on the part OF a protected interest which
fattens on the favors of the tariff at the
expense Of every wearer OF clothing in the
country. Not content with the tremendous
profits gained in this way from the public,
the beneficiarles of this system basely re-
turn the governments protection by cheat
ing the customs as did the Sugar trust.
There is just as much reason why these
men should be prosecuted and sent TO the
penitentiary as there was In the case OF
the sugar men. Recently the Judges In
New York decided that in the future i'm
prisonment as well as fines should be the
punishment of smugglers. A similar rule
should run in the case of men defrauding
the customs in other ways.

The High School Course.

The proposal to add a course OF
business instruction to the curriculum
Of the Omaha High school brings up
again for discussion the policy pur-
sued in that institution. A number OF
changes have recently been made, the
wisdom Of which Is not yet established.
One OF the difficulties attending the
control of public schools, and es-
pecially the high schools, has been the
pressure from faddists for recognition
Of their peculiar views. A result of
this has been that the course Of in
struCtion is overburdened with special
ties and the teachers ,are pressed be-
yond their capacity to the end that the
fundamentals Of education suffer be-
cause the teachers and scholars alike
have not SUFFICIENT time to cover the
ground thoroughly.
The plea in favor of the addition of
a business course to the high school
is that the students now leave school
poorly prepared to enter business life
The new plan 10 intended to remedy
this. Under the present school ar
rangements the average age at which
pupil enters the high school is about
la. At this age their employment
during the school period is forbidden
by the Nebraska law. Serious doubts
exist as to whether at this time the
child has developed mentally to q
point where practical training in any
line is OF distinct advantage. Expert
ence has proven that boys under 16
are not we'll adapted to being taught
the mechanical trades. When they do
take up a trade their period of appren-
ticeship is extended to cover their
adolescence. This should be a sug-
gestion to the educators. The motive
is not in question. 1t is the purpose
of the schools to train boys and girls
so they will be useful in the duties OF
life they must take up when school
time is finished. This purpose can
best be accomplished in the public
schools by thoroughly grounding the
pupils in the fundamentals, 30 that
when the time comes that they will
have to take up the practical they will
not be handicapped by lack OF proper
training in the branches that are es-
sentially requisite for success.

Apropos Tame ducks" now found in

vogue by Roosevelt, in one Of his pleas for
the strenuous life, about the time he APP
pointed Joe Blackburn OF Kentucky on the

Blackburn as lame duck or a mollyood-

Roosevelt walked into the room and, de-

question was again propounded Roose-
velt's reply was a chuckle uttered as he
disappeared In an instantaneous return to
his private office, and the doubt as to the
classification was never solved.
