Tins assembly makes the laws and
passes upon the appropriations There
is only one reservation, and that is II II
should not make appropriations the
appropriations of the preceding session
are reenacted until another assembly
should meet. Were 1t not for this the
assembly could hold up the government
and stop all the salaries
There are two political parties, ana
each stumps the country in behalf OF
its candidate. The assembly meets al
Manila and its mem bers, who ars
dressed in spotless white, form fine
looking body. The speaker stands be-
hind the desk, on a rOstrum, with gavel
in hand. and over him on the wall
hangs the American flag and Uncle
Sans coat OF arms.
The Civil Service.
A great majority OF the government
employees are natives. This is so not
only at Manila, but throughout the
Islands. All are appointed by civil ser
vice rules, and most OF them have to
take examinations in English or span
ish or both Promotions 90 BY merit
and a record is kept in every oIIlce
showing the relative efficiency OF fhe
employees, so that a mans record de-
termines his advancement personal
habits, physical condition and personal
morality are e part Of the tests The
laws require work to the amount OF
six and one-half hours daily from each
clerk except during not WSdlAGas N-ltli
the time IS cut down to five hours.
Clerks are also allowed from 20 TO 80
days vacation, according to salary and
rank. Those who get the most money
have the longest vacation
Most OF the clerks are honest At
this writing the loss by defauIters
among the employees has been only
about percent.
Justice and the Courts.
President Taft says that the supreme
court OF the Philippine Islands is equal
to the courts of any state Of our union
This is in ability and honesty. I doubt
whether the same could be said Of the
provincial courts. II IS difficult to get
good judges The old Spanish judiciary
was corrupt and the American judges
did not understand the languages OF
dialects. They we're not familiar with
the local laws. On the other hand, the
Filipino judges were not familiar with
our ideas Of equity. There was a dis
trust on the part Of the people and the
government. am told that this has
passed away, and that the Filipinos
are attaining high rank as judges. Out
Of 2S judgships Is are held by Ameri-
cans and IA by FilipinOs.
The laws are enforced by the police,
and the papers Of the justices and the
courts are served by them There is
now a police force in every town and
this is so even OF the colony OF lepers

The Leper Colony.
In connection with health I must tell
you what they are doing with the le-
pers. There are now two or three
thousands Of them in the islands, and
The most OF these have been gathered
into a colony situated at CuliOn. This

Women who bear children and re-

their systems IN advance Of baby

nature IN its prenatal work the crisis
finds her system unequal to the de-

left with weakened health or chronic
ailments. No remedy is so truly a

of those frightful accidents occurred
again through the use of either kero-

About three months ago Mrs. John In

light fire with kerosene and about a

wick, who lived some distance from
Edehill, died from similar accident,
now Mrs. Vickerman who has resided
in Wibeaux for about year, has been
guilty of the same thing. It is not
definitely known whether she used ker.
osene or gasoline in the starting Of the
fire, but it is certain that she used
one of them, and in so doing sh was
nearly burned to death. She is in a
very precarious condition at the pres

After getting the two children off to

around him. LaFollette is temporar-
lily broken down and the leaders Of the
progressive campaign do not believe
that in his condition he can win. Shall
we stop the wheels of progress on this
account OF shall we go ahead under an
other great progressive leader who can
win, and carry the fight to the White
House?
"Walter L. Houser is quoted as stat
ing that Roosevelt urged LaFollette to
run and pledged his support to him. I
was connected with this incident all
the way through and know Roosevelt g
position in this respect thoroughly. I
know absolutely that Roosevelt never
advised Mr.. LaFollette to run, and
carefully avoided making any state
ment Of this nature. He did tell La
Toilette that if he decided to run, he
would mention him favorably in the
Outlook columns, and you who have
read the Outlook know how we'll he
kept his promise in this regard. Roose-
velt treated LaFollette in no other
manner than in accordance with prin-
ciplcs of the "square DEAL"
"The situation is this. We have had
three years of reactionary administra-
tion, and this is enough for me-"
"Roosevelt takes direct issue with
this statement and says that he be-
lieves the American people absolutely
fit for self government; that govern
ment belongs to the people; that they
have right to change the form of
government which is becoming irk-
some. This is direct issue. It is
the issue of the campaign. It is hu.
manity vs.. property rights.''
