yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.
Oculists have often called attention
10 the fact that the eyes are easily IA
tigued by the reflection from white pa
per, especially when the surface is un-
der a strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful TO
the eyes, jt is a common practice TO
use wall papers and draperies Of that
color in libraries and private studies.
For writing paper. however, green is
an unsatisfactory color. IL imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing and

which cult may, when the movement
gets somewhat stronger, be introduced
into the common school system Of the
country the word "obey" in the ordi.
nary marriage service, already in dis

aition this word receives after the
wedding service is over is entirely per
functory. James Douglas in London
Opinion-in England the revolt against
the word obey has already reached for
nfdable proportions-says that the use
and abuse Of the word is continual and
unblushing perjury in the courts OF
heaVen-where marriages are made
To this he adds: And nobody worries
over 1t. II Is taken for granted. Arch
deacons wink at it. bishops chuckle
over 1t, deans crack Jokes over It.
And with good reason, for their own
wives break the vow of obedience as
gayly as the wives of laymen. Is there
0ne clergyman who will venture to
proclaim from the pulpit that his wife
Invariably and Internationally obeys
him all the year round? We know
there Is not. How, then. can the clergy
expect from laywomen what they dare
not expect from their own helpmeets?
AS rule, the wears wife is a mas.

GET RID OF THE PHILIPPINES

The Observer has always con-
tended that the United States does
not need the. PhillipiDes-as long
as there is waste land subject to
homestead entry in this fine
country there is no necessity of
caring for or controlling land
eight thousand miles away. The
PHILIPPINE question should not be
forgotten in the'present campaign.
The retention of these islands is a
very heavy burden upon the people
of the United States and the taxes
imposed of necessity. add to the
cost of living in every family.
Ten years ago Senator Hoar st Ated
on the door Of the senate that up
to that time the cost had been
$500, 100000 and the statement
was never denied. Since then we
have kept in those islands an
average Of 12.277 troops. 1t is
estimated that it cost the govern
ment 81, 500 annually to maintain
each soldier in the foreign service.
Cofnbnted upon this basis the cost
alone of menintaining the military
forces in the Philippine Islands
lastssearl was over $26, 10000 1t
would be difficult to even estimate
what part Of the naval expenses of
the United States should properly
be charRable to this account. It is
probably safe to affirm that the
sum which would be annually saw
ed, under the conditions of peace
and tranquility which now prevail,
were the United States to relin-
quish sovereignty over the Philip
pine islands, would not fall much
short, If any. of $50, ZOO, 900.
The total trade with the islands,
exports and imports, last year
amounted to $31, 866,672. This is
far less than the amount of taxa.
! ton imposed on the American
: people to retain them.
h 1t has been recently announced
! az the opinion Of military experts
! that it would not be expedient, in
the event of war with any strong
naval power, for the United States
: to attempt tn defend the Philip
pines and besides that the holding

WOOL TRUST
AfAD ARRESTED

i Further evidence of how tn
multi-millionaire wooden trus
magnates protect" their employe
in return for sufficient protection
to allow them to overcharge 80
OO0,0O American consumers OF
tevery article of clothing they buy
lis revealed in the arrest a
Lawrence, Mass, of William M
Wood. head of the wool trust.
Mr.. Wood is charged with plac
ing dynamite in the homes of his
SIS. Sc and 81 week foreign mill
workers in en- attempt to discredit
their cause while they were on a
strike last winter as a protest.
against "A reduction of their wages.
Mr.. Woods arret is worthy of
the attention of every man, woman
and child in the country who wears
woolens. Because of the fact that
Mr.. Wood and his fellow wooden
trust magnates contribute heavily
to republican campaign funds, con-
gress has been in the habit of plac-
ing the tariff high enough on
woolens to keep out all COMPETE
ton, so that the wooen trust could
be free to charge any price they
desired, up to the ability of the
people to pay.
The result is that Americans are
paying from thirty to one hundred
per cent more for woIlen clothing
and blankets than the residents of
Great Britain pays.
The story of the career of Mr..
Wood provides curious paradox.
He is the oppressor of 10000
miserable New England textile
workers; few years ago he was
one OF them. In his youth he felt
the sting of hunger himself, but
now he is pitiless in his thoughts
of his employees. He has grown
enormously rich. but declares that
from 81 to 50 week is enough for
those who labor in his mills.
1t is said of many captains OF
industry hat they are ignorant of
the conditions of the work men who
make thier fortunes for them that
if they knew the distress of their
employees they would seek to
remedy it. Their distress he sees
Their cries he hears.
Woods father was asPortugese
Jew migrant. He labored in q
cotton mill and died of tuber.
culosis. disease common to cotton
and wool spinners. The father S
name is believed to Rave been
Alfonso LeHair or LeV&ir. ....
When the WOODEN mill employee:
which are composed ei az different
nationalities, most of whom cannot
speak English, went on a strike the
fathers and mothers decided t.
send their babies and children away
to friends in other cities in order
that they might not suffer from
hunger during the strike. Mr.
Woods agents beat the women and
tore the little unes from their
mothers arms when the children
we're about to be placed on trains
Thus did Mr.. Wood protect" his
employees.
Are the American people willing
to continue to contribute to MIR
Wood by paying more for shoddy
than good wooden clothing sells for
in England?
Or do they want the tariff on
woolens reduced? There is OILY
one day every two years when the
consumers have an opportunity to
express themselves on II is sbject.
That day this year comes on
November 5.--Exchange.
