Low DEATH RATE
INPHILIPPINES
Manila Bulletin Tells
OF Mortality Among
Americans

In recent issue Manila Bulletin
tells of the low death rate in the Phi.
lippines both among civil and mill.
tary employees of the government
stating that this low rate has attract.
ed much attention in the United
States.
The Bulletin quotes San Francisco
Chronicle as saying that II the fig
ures given are correct, then the ISL
ands should advertiser as a santa.
rum.
The article from the Bulletin fol
lows:
The Philippines have right to
advertise as sanitarium. The
death rate both among the civil en-
ployes and the army of the Philip
pines Division has reached such a
low rate that II has attracted spe
cial attention throughout the United
States.
I'm commenting on the health of
the Philippine Islands and the fact
that the Official report for the past
fiscal year gave the death rate among
civil employees as only $50 per 1000,
the editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle says: III the figures are
approximately the same for the mil
itary establishment In the Philip
pines. the islands will have the right
to advertise as a sanitarium.'
"The right can be fully establish
ed, as the death rate in the mill
tary establishment for the fiscal year
was even lower than that reported
among civil employees, the official
report of the death rate in the Di-
vision of the Philippines for the past
fiscal year being only 4.S9 per 1000.
The preceding year the death
rate in the military establishment
was G.92, but the high rate that
year, and 1t is considered high by.
the army medical authorities, was.
due to a number of soldiers having
died at Camp Keithley from poison
ing resulting from their having
drunk quantity Of wood alcohol.
Two years go the War Depart
ment accounted the Alaskan army
posts as the healthiest under the
flag, with Hawaii a close second.
Then came the report from the
Philippines that the death rate
among the civil employees was only
$50 per 1000, which called forth
the edi - "'entioned as to the
rlgh' Of ''a ands to advertise as
sanitariun II the military estab.
lslment could show approximately
the ne FL ures.
80 natter has been brought to
the attention of the Manila Mer-
chants Association and 1t is certain
that the low death rate given for
the Philippines will be included in
the boost literature that is to be
sent abroad by the association dur
ing the coming year"

WHAT THE CONVENTIONS
SHOULD do.

A representative ticket and a unit
eel body Of workers should be the
principal aim in life OF the delegates
elected at the Republican primaries
to launch the campaign for their
party.
Republicans have had the oppor-
tunity to learn great many things
in the last few months, and II they
will take the obvious lessons to heart
ms reasonable and intelligent men
should, the party should have no ex-
ceptional difficulties in sweeping the
Territory and thereby placing in Of
flee competent and progressive men
Activity of the political workers in
the prelminaTies of the campaign has
stirred up more old dry bones, and
brought out more live men TO take
their share of the political burden
than has ever been the case in pre-
yious years.
These men are on the alert. They
have begun to form the habit OF do
ing their duty In public life They
have the enthusiasm of persons Just
starting out. And their good habits
and their enthusiasm should be fos-
tered at every possible point The
party needs just such workers.
What these men and all the other
party workers need to keep them On
line for the kind of work that knows
no defeat Is good ticket Of repre-
sentative men, nominated by fair
means In an Embossed convention.
II the primaries have proved one
thing more than another Il is that the
rank aud file of the Republican party
Will not stand for boss, or for ma
nipulated politics.
II this be true In the precinct, II
will be dOubly true in the work of
the conventions.
All the splendid lessons Of the pre-
cinct contest will be Of little effect II
the hand Of bossism and tricky ma
nipulation tries to place grip upon
the convention and squeeze out
crooked results.
An action that would lead especial
strength To the Republican party at
this time would be the elimination OF
the extraordinary custom OF secret
booth balloting In the convention
Let every delegate vote In the open,
Let every move OF the convention be-
above board lat the honest methods

GAYNOR and MUNICIPAL
PROBLEMS.

How many people there are who,
when popular government does not
move along the lines which they con-
slider nearest the greatest perfection,
declare that the whole thing is a fail
ure.
The whine of the pessimist is en-
countered every day. and as a rule
the greater the pessimism expressed
the less real work you will find the
author Of 1t doing.
To all these and to the honestly dis
couraged who become distressed over
the deliberation with which good
work moves to results, the remarks uf
Mayor Gaynor to n writer for the Out
look should carry valuable suggestion.
The issue Of the outlook containing
the account Of his attempted assassin
alton contained an article prepared
some time previous by Mr. Griffin OF
the New York Evening Sun who had
reviewed the Mayors first six months
IN office.
Griffin found that Mayor Gaynor's
belief in the future of municipal gov
eminent in this country Is one of tenn
pered optimism" us r
In line with thB idea he quotes the
following conversation: you cannot
drive the people of any community,
great or small" said the Mayor "Yon
must get the best they will stand for
at the time. You must carry forward
the work as far as you can, and where
you leave II others will pick II up and
go forward. am willing to live my
life according to that standard for all
good growth Is slow growth.
Just look at those trees" he con-
timed, pointing to the foliage that
oyershadowed the veranda. you can
not force the growth of human life
and civilization any more than you
can force those slow-growing trecI.
That Is the economy OF Almighty God,
that all good growth is slow growth"

ROOSEVELT'S POLITICS

The politics OF Roosevelt always
furnishes a fruitful topic for discus

ture that II is possible 10 put him In
almost any position and have him

or recent literature on the subject,
II seems to this paper that an editorial
writer for the Philadelphia Evening
Times has come about as near to pre-
senting the real Roosevelt and the
Roosevelt politics rs anyone has been
able to do.
Commenting on the information of
the dispatches that Roosevelt would
cast his lot with the Insurgents, the
Evening Times man says that this re-
port contains no news.
1t has been plain for long time
that II Colonel Roosevelt increases
his political activities, 1t will be
along insurgent lines. This is his
logical course.
As practical politician, Roosevelt
has few peers.
He knows how" politically.
In Office and out OF II he has dem
onstrated, upon more than one occa-
sion, that he understands the value Of
making trades and deals that will
help him and the political interests
he represents-Or that represent him,
which seems more appropriate way
OF putting IL.
Now, most of the serious Opposi-
ton to Roosevelt and Rooseveltism
has come from that element In the
Republican party which Is described
as the "stand-pat' faction,
His immense popularity has come
from the opposing element, known
as the insurgent faction.
Logically, II Colonel Roosevelt i'm

The calling of the County Conven-

of many, but 1t does not seem prob.

toward changing it, but that the
county committee of the party will
abide by its original call.

the advocates of reform in this re-

Since the humiliation of LorrinI
Andrews by the ManOa Insurgents,
at the primaries, Saturday, there has
been a general clearing of the Re-
publican atmosphere, and the mem

their intention Of renominating every

no reason to believe that this an
