Riaht on the Job.

At the time Dewey captured the
Philippine Islands there was only one
lighthouse in operation in the Philip
pine w~aters-that on Cape Melville,
Balabac island, south Of the island OF
Palawan and marking the entrance be-
tween the China sea and the Sulu sea.
AS is the custom in time of war, the
Spanish authorities had ordered all
lighthouses to have their lights extin-
guished when 1t was discovered that
an attack on Manila was threatened
by the American navy. II appears that
this order was carried out at all other
places except at the lighthouse men
toned above, where the order was
never received. The keeper Of this
light kept his light burning up to June
80, 1899, without assistance, and was
paid for his services from May 1, 1899.

ment.-Philippines Monthly.

HUGHES FAVORS
THE GERAN BILL
Especial correspondenee.l

Trenton, March 18;-Advocating
in the strongest terms the passage of
the Geran bill now before the legis-
lature Representative William Hugh
es, of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict, has made a statement in which
he says that the measure so strongly
endorsed by Governor Wilson Ia the
most important piece of legislation
before the present session of the
legislature. Mr.. Hughes is one of
the majority members of the COM
mittee on ways and means of the
next congress and an expression of
opinion from him at this time will
carry great weight. His statement
follows:
"1n my judgment the most i'm
portant piece of legislation now
pending In the legislature of this
State Is the Geran bill.
1.-THE boss-ridden condition of our
commonwealth is In no respect more
completely exemplified than In the
condition of our election laws. 1t
Is a significant commentary on our
institution that the states which lag
farthest behind In the march of pro-
gress are those in which the election
laws make 1t hardest for the voter to
express his choice of candidates.
81 have little sympathy with the
argument that the bill If enacted will
d~isfranchise a large percentage of
the voters. The gentlemen who adj
vance 1t are accustomed to under
estimating the intelligence of the
electorate.
will make it hard to elect
candidates whose only strength
comes from a slavish obedience to
dictation from outside influences,
but it will make 1t easier for men
who have the confidence of the peo-
pie.
"You cannot make a people good
by acts of parliament as has been
well said, but you can put a premium
upon unintelligent voting on the
contrary. The expense of mailing
tickets and pastors Is prohibitive in
the case of a poor man and there Is
no earthly reason why this state
should not put in the hands of a
voter the tools with which to work
his will"

The "key Of tho Mediterranean" Has
Had a Stormy History.
England has been in possession of
the rocky p~romontory of Gibraltar
since 1904. From that time to this 1t
has been a crown colony under the ad-
ministration of q governor. BY &
Of its important strategical position it
is called the key of the Mediterra-
mean"
Gibraltar has had a stormy history.
In I'll the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik. who called it Jebel-a1-
Tarik Chill of Tarik) and built a for
tress on the ~promontory. Part of these
ruins are still extant. In 1909 1t was
taken by the Castilians, only to be re-
captured by the Moors in 1888. 1t was
held by them until 1852. Following the
taking and sacking Of Gibraltar In
1910 by Barbarosso, extensive military
works were built there by order Of
Charles v.
In 1904 the p~romontory was cap
tured by a combined force under Sir
George Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-
Darmstadt, fighting for the Archduke
Charles Of Austria. The moment 1t fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
TRANS and took complete possession of
the works.
British possession since that time
has been unbroken, although 1t was
under a Spanish siege for nearly three
years and eight months, beginning In
1779. Twice the garrison was on the
point of falling because of the starva-
tion of Its defenders.

Air hotel here to accommodate Presi-

R~ockefeller's suite consisted of twelve
rooms. The hotel vas crowded when
President Taft asked for reservations.
The management of the hotel diplo-
matically suggested to Mr.. Rockefeller
that he give up two oom of his
apartments, but the oil king refused
to give in. Hence 1t was that President
Taft's military aid, Captain Butt. and
a secret service agent had to take
quarters In parts of the hotel remote
