The FiIipinOS Beating
US to IL

The Cable News-American, published
at Manila, is boasting over the fact that,
in many respects the Philippine Islands
have the advantage of the United States
in their institutions I" In the states the
way of doing things at the present time, ="
says the publication, has come down
from the people and through the force of
custom or prejudice they have retained
much that is cumbersome and out of date,
In the islands the institutions planted by
the Americans have been freed from
most of the crude fallacies that have
stuck to them in the states.
This comment is occasioned by the fact
that the Philippines have postal savings
banks that are banks of final deposits,
doing general banking business, and not
fakes such as they are in the states, and
by the further fact that on Tuesday a
complete parcels post was established.
Already the express companies have
twice reduced there rates in an effort to
compete with the parcels post

Ridpath, the Historian, on
the Status of Women

A second auxiliary in the forward
movement of our age will be found
in THE EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN.
There are two stations to which wo-
man may be logically assigned. One
is the harem of the Turk; the other
is the high dias of a perfect equality
with man. The Middle Ages gave
her the former place. The seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries
sought to fix her in a station BE-
TwFFN the two extremes. The pre-
sent, having discovered that human
rights are not deducible from phys
biological distinctions, seeks to make
her as free as man. The tyranny
and selfshness of political parties
will for a while retard what they
cannot prevent, and then, by an at
tempted Justification of history, will
seek to make it appear that they
have been the champions of the cause
by which one-half of the human race
are to be enfranchised-removed
from the state of political and domes-
tic serfdom to become a great and
salutary agency in the social and po-
litical reforms OF the age. .-Ridpath,
the historian.

The Real Nigger in
Wood Pile

Mr.. Roosevelt declares that Barnes,
Penrose and Guggenheim work hand in
hand with the big interests. This is all
true How about Mr.. Roosevelt himself?
1t was not at the solicitation of Barnes
and Penrose and Guggenheim that Ed
ward H. Hartman raised a political cor
ruption fund of $500, 0UO. 1t was at the
solicitation of Theodore Roosevelt.
1t was not Barnes and Penrose and
Guggenheim who failed to bring the
machinery of the law into play to send
George w. Perkins to the penitentiary
for violating the Sherman Law i'll organ
izing the illegal harvester trust, and who
then accepted Perkins millions to run
for third term for President. That was

NEITHER TAFT OR
TEDDY FIT THE JOB
And Prominent Lima Republican
Comes Out FIat-FOOted for
Sage OF Princeton.
Linn Times-Democrat, October /. ]

Lima Times-Democrat, October /.
Don Carlos Henderson, once republi-
can city solicitor, of Lima, and a recog-
nized leader in his party has deserted
the Taft cause and in an open letter de-
clared himself for Woodrow Wilson for
president, not only stating that he will
support Wilson himself, but advising
other republicans to do the same. In
this letter Mr.. Henderson says:
THE republican ship. . for the
present is presided over by
political pudden-head-one who has
not been true 10 the doctrines and
policies Of his party nor to the great
body of common people who elected
him by the most magnificent vote
and the greatest majority ever given
any candidate for that high office.
The common people were with him
then, they are against him now. To
thinking people this should speak
volumes. But the old ship is not to
be sunk, simply the captain is to be
emoved-'revised downward. How
can this best be done? In my judg-
ment this can best be accomplished
with the least harm TO the faithful
and the greatest good TO the people
by supporting Woodrow Wilson He
is a man of splendid ability, sterling
character and admirable courage;
think any progressive canconsistent-
" vote for him Thinking as l do
l shall vote for Wilson and give him
my loyal support"
Mr.. Henderson displays his usual good
judgment in choosing whom he shall
support for President. He was staunch
supporter of Theodore Roosevelt before
the Chicago convention and wanted to
see the Colonel nominated for President
by that body But when the Colonel
formed a new party and surrounded HIM
self with a party which Henderson calls
pirates" he could no longer see his
way clear to cling to him. So he shook
all the unworthy dust from off his feet
and for once will vote with the chosen
people-the Democrats.

How the G.. o. p. Infants
Make US Smoke

When ]. p Morgan and others bought
Andrew Carnegies steel plant, they re-
moved the remaining obstacle that pre-
vented their absolutely dominating the
steel industry of the country. Gov. Will
son, in his speech at Sioux City, Iowa,
recently, stated why this purchase was
made:
"Carnegie's competitors found they
could not undersell him because he
had more brains in running the business
they bought him out at four or five times
the value of his property and then, in
what they charged afterwards for the pro-
duct, they made us pay interest ON the
four or FIVE times the amount of the vail
ne of the property which they had paid
him. -

Just What the Election
of Wilson Means

1t is conceded by all that the election of
Gov. Wilson means an immediate down.
ward revision of the tariff. This is the
cause of the wild outcry in certain quar-
ters against the election of Governor
Wilson.
The Wool Trust is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and the
downward revision of the tariff.
The Cotton Mill Trust is crying out
against the election of Governor Wilson
and the downward revision of the tariff.
The Harvester Trust is crying out
against the election of Governor Wilson
and the downward revision of the tariff.
The Sugar Trust is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and the
downward revision of the tariff.
The Steel Trust is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and the
downward revision of the tariff.
The Aldrich Rubber Trust is crying out
against the election of Governor Wilson
and the downward revision of the tariff.
The Guggenheim Smelter Trust is cry
ing out against the election of Governor
Wilson and the downward revision of the
tariff.
George W. Perkins, political agent of
the Morgan interests and the associated
trusts, is crying out against the election
of Governor Wilson and the downward
revision of the tariff.
Frank A Munsey, press agent of the
Steel Trust. is crying out against the cleo
ton of Governor Wilson and the down
ward revision of the tariff
Theodore Roosevelt, all things to all
trusts, the side show by which the inter
ests hopet to divert public attention from
the real issues of the campaign, is crying
out against the election of Governor Will
son and the downward revision of the
tariff.
These are 10 unanswerabler reasons why
Governor Wilson should be elected and
the downward revision of the tariff should
begin. Chicago Journal.

plished in that time There is no logical
reason to believe, however, that there
will be radical change in the situation.
The forces back of President Taft are
standing firmly. Former President
Roosevelt is making spectacular CAM
paign to hold the so-called Progressive
lines intact and to make inroads on the
enemy, while the Democrats heartened
by the prospects of an overwhelming
victory, refuse to be lead off to worship
the idols or shout the shibboleths of
other parties.
In many sections there is large ele-
ment of independent voters, but the
straw votes taken carry no encourage
ment from this source to either the re-
gular Republican candidate or the third
term aspirant.
The task of collating material for this
comprehensive review of the situation

office department would be in readiness
on January l, 1918, to put in general
operation the recently authorized parcels
post system, The postal express bust
ness which must be organized within the
next four months will extend over more
than a million miles of rural delivery

ions ramihcation all systems of transpor-
tation of parcels now utilized by private
express companies.

Urban users of the new parcels post
system to be started Jan. are likely to
receive noisy mail, when the delivery
begins, of live chicllins, rabbits and
other country products. Fresh eggs and
country butter will also be handled
through the parcels post. This is no
dream of cheaper cost of living, but will
be a reality under the new law, Which is
designed to put the producer in direct
communication with the consumer.
General farm and garden produce comes
under the law. The government not
only will caary these things but an in
demnity will be provided for their loss
or damage in transit
