The vital issue is not whether the
trusts "could" be reached. The real
imnortant question Is: Why not
n single guilty trust magnate has been
seen TO iail, or even called to the bar

government does not send trust mag
mates to iail nor control the trusts
because the trusts control the stanu-

teen years the standpat Republican
machine. I'm recognition of campaign

President Taft send n message to con-

Washington. oct. 21.-Even in the
far-off Philippines the impression
prevails that William H. Taft will not
succeed himself as president. The
Filipinos will be disappointed should
Mr.. Taft be reelected. because he Is
decidedly unpopular over there be-
cause of his attitude that the Fill
pinos should not he given their inde-
pendence within the time of the
present generation"
Before Mr. Taft was elected Presi-
dent Of the United States the inhab-
itants of the Philippines knew him
much better than did the people of
the United States. He had been the
governor general of the Philippines,
and while his administration was
heralded i'm the United States as q
very successful one. It was as a mat
ter of fact very unsatisfactory to the
Filipinos.
The following letter from IA Fill
ipino" calls attention to the fact that
in the Philippines Mr.. Taft was known
as "Mr. Facing Both Ways" a title
that some, people would consider APP
propriate for Mr.. Taft as president Of
the United States:
"When the experience of William
II. taft as administrators in the Phil
ippines islands was urged by the pro-
moters of his candidacy as proof of
his fitness for the office of the pres
idency of the United States. those who
had followed with some attention the
course Of his administration i'm the
islands suggested that a certain degree
of respect might be paid to the ver-
dict which had been rendered upon
It by its far away subjects. That ver-
dict was eptiomized in the familiar
title, saddled upon this estimable gen.
tleman throughout the archipelago,
of MIR. Facing Both Ways. 1t may
be confidently asserted that as presi-
dent of the United States none of his
predecessors have ever justified this
epithet more completely.
I'm the presidential policy towards
the archipelago Mr.. Taft on the one
hand promises Gin his own good time)
the choice of independence to it's in
habitants and on the other hand Is
urging. forward the sale OF great tracts
of land tognon-residcnt capitalistsfOr
the exploitation of the wealth of the
islands and to the certain destruction
Of any hope of independence.
"Mr. Taft speaks officially through
the mouths of his confidential ad-
visers, through Secretary Ballinger,
through Secretary Wilson. through
Attorney General Wickersham. ana
Immediately denies the words ana ac-
ton for which. as his official and per-
sonal representatives.. he Is directly
responsible. He publicly defends the
system of the civil service. At the
same time he uses the influence OF
patronage to punish the insurgent Re-
publlcans Mr.. Taft the peacemaker'
urges the fertilization of the Panama
canal, dispatches an army to the bord-
ers of Mexico. facing an imminent
risk of international complications,
ana fosters the menacing increase OF
the navy. Some of MS may Ike TINS

may like the opposite. But-where is

Bits of Philosophy.

Man shows his good behavior and
gets his good looks by the sunshine
he scatters along the pathway Of the
sorrowing; man approaches perfection
by giving peace and not pain.
Troubles always grow if much ado
is made of them when coming, when
here or when gone; troubles are limit
ed in force and number by curtailing
the number of people we tell them to.
Mans mind is modelled after Gods
and made subject to his laws; mans
body is made to look as his mind
thinks and is therefore subject unto it.
Man to be happy in his work, must
do the kind of work that does not
worry him; when mans soul doesn't
sing while his hands and head work.
somebody or something is out of tune
Your excuse for your failure will
never make it anything else than
what it is-failure; your excuse for
yesterday, lost, is an abuse of today s
opportunity.
Idleness must be the great curse, If
work be the greatest blessing of life;
there is nothing noble or divine in the
wasting of the golden minutes which
make up time.
When you return evil for evil you
must expect to get back for yourself
fuller measure than you give; you
will get your own downfall when you
attempt to take a fall out of your
enemy.
Flowery speech and sanity look may
cover up the show Of error and change
the color of vice to that of virtue:
seeming truth is a sham that good
men will not believe in long.

10. County boards of education and
school district boards of trustees are
made continuing bodies in order that
a majority of their members may be
able, at all times, to form legal con-
tracts.
I'll. An adequate system of reports
is provided in order that school sta
tistics may be reliable.
'12. The state superintendent of
education is required to keep correct
account of all school bonds and tax
levies provided for their retirement.
"13. Each county superintendent of
education Is required to submit to the
grand jury a written report showing,
by school districts, all receipts and
disbursements made by him.
IA. All alterations of whatsoever
! kind in school district lines must be
recorded by the clerk Of court. Since
the school district has been made the
unit of taxation for school purposes, 1t
is absolutely necessary that school dis
trict lines be clearly and definitely es-
tablished.
An Important Change.
'15. The most fundamental change
recommended in the report is the new
the apportionment of public school
funds on the average attendance Of
pupils. Under this definition the
teacher, the school, and the district
lose money every day a pupil is alb
sent, and gain every day he is pres
ent.
"16. An attempt is made to estab-
lish a permanent state school fund
and a permanent building fund.
az. The additional expenditures re-
quired by this report will be in
creased salaries for county superin-
tendents of education, a small appro-
priation guaranteeing to each school
district one separate school for three
months for pupils of each race. the
salaries Of the division supervisors,
all Of which will impose only slight
expenditures above present appropria-
tions made either by the several coun-
ties or by the general assembly."-Co-

Are you goin' to quit chasin after

Just there the storm burst. Ten Sec
onds later Roland, with a confused
impression of having been kicked by
a mule, picked himself up out of the
dust in the middle of the street and
stared stupidity back at the store.
Here's your hat, Roly," called Nat.
Tossing him the hat, Nat turned con-
temptuously.
He paused in the middle of the store
and felt of his necktie. 1t proved to
be little out of place, but otherwise
he was as immaculate as was his wont.
He reviewed the encounter and laugh
ed quietly.
There's no cure for fool" he
mused.
The telephone bell reused him from
his reverie He went over to the in
strument sat down and put the re-
ceiver to his ear.
"Hello!" he said "Oh, hello, Josie!
What's that? That's right, but I'm
not used to it yet, you know. Well,
I'll try again. Now-ready?"
He schooled his voice to a key Of
heartrending sentiment. Hello, dar-
ling. Hows that? Told your father?
Told him what? Oh about the en-
gagement? Was he angry? oh, he
wasn't, Ell? What did he say? Wasn't
that nice of him!"
Conscious of a slight noise in the
store. he looked up. A young woman
had just entered. She paused just in
side the door, Smiling at him a little
timidly.
Without another word to his financee
Nat put down the telephone and hook
ed up the receiver.

A Typhoid Vaccine.

Typhoid can be guarded against as
effectually as We now guard against
smallpox. That method is known as

army, under the direction of Major
Frederick F. Russell. Quietly and AL

Japanese Dentists.-A newspaper
here presents to its readers an account
of The methods employed by the ia
panese dentist. which although per-
haps not quite new is of sufficient IN
terest to warrant its publication.
The dentist draws teeth with MS mn
gers without the aid of any instru-
ments He takes the head of the pa
tient in such a way that the mouth
must remain open. Putting the thump
and index finger into the patient
mouth the Jap draws five, slX or
seven teeth in a minute. as the case
may be. the patient during TINS pro-
cess being unable to close his mouth.
This remarkable prowess In eX-
tracing teeth is attributed to the
training the dentist undergoes In early
youth. To strengthen the fngers Tor
heir later work the tyro commences
by practicing on nails whlch are
driven into a plank placed on the
ground. He has to pull out the nails
without moving the board. AT the
beginning of this nail-pulling a So1t
wood is used. and then harder wood
ND TO oak or something still harder.
An apprentice is not considered pro-
ficient in his art until he can draw
the nails from the hardest wood WITH
out moving it.

ALLIGATORS' NESTS.
They Resemble Haystacks and Are
Natural lncubators.

|
AN alligators nest is an interesting
thing" said Alligator Joe. wild alli-
gators build their nests on the bank
of a river or in marshy places. They
are made of mud saw grass and leaves
and mold. They are sort of natural
incubators, for the eggs, which are
| laid from thirty-iive to eighty in a
nest at one time, are hatched out by
| the steam which comes up through
the mud as much as by the sun.
Around the nest pile of grass is laid,
sometimes as high as six feet, and
| from a distance resembles a stack of
hay. The mother gator has her den
nearby. She makes it by burrowing
into Il bank of soft mud. and some
times it is seventy feet or more inland.
The only way to get her out of a den
like that is to take long steel rod
and thrust it down the tunnel, which
is always slanting. When the gator
feels the prodding she will come out
to see what the trouble is.
/
and six days to hatch. When the little
| ones come out the mother calls them
together by noise which is some
thing between Il cluck and a grunt,
and they all scramble down from the
nest of her den. If it is on the edge
of a river the den is filled with min
nOwS. As the mother enters the den
she swShes her tail around with ter
rife force killing the smallest fish,
and when they float the little alliga-
tors nab them up.
"A mother alligator will sometimes
have four or five dens, and she takes
her brood from one to another, re-
peating the swishing process in each
one until the young ones have had a
| full meal."-Harriet Quimby in Les
| lies.
