NO REVOLUTION.

The Philippine commissioner to con-
giess in a speech in the house re-
certify denounced the chicane Of GER
tain interests that are trying to pre-
vent the islands from having indepen-
dence He denied that Aguinaldo or
any other native Of any character is
fomenting revolution. According to
Mr.. QueEon, there have all along been
sporadic outbreaks from time to time
in distant islands just as there used
TO be and still are among North
American Indians. but he says these
were carefully suppressed as news
events until the democrats won at the
polls last fall and announced the policy
of independence for the islands. Since
then, according to Quezon, reports
have been given out in the most highly
colored style and dark hints Of a real
revolution.
He says there will be no fighting in
the Philippines unless the United
States should get into trouble with
some other nation, and then the brown
men will show their mettle by com.
ing 70 the support OF Uncle Sam.

Well, children, are we ready to
cook? Let US see. In the first place
you must choose the time to go into
the kitchen when it will be the least
trouble to mother or the cook. In
fact you are going to be help and
not a nuisance and hindrance. This
is one of the rooms in the house where
there must be perfect order; that is,
have your recipe pasted or printed or
written on a card and thumb tackled
on the wall where you can see to read
it. When you and mother have de
cided just what you are going to make,
look the recipe over and be sure all
the materials are in the kitchen to
make it. When ready to begin get out
all the necessary utensils first, then
the materials and as fast as used put
into the sink to soak in cold water. AS
soon as the cooking is finished or the
baking in the oven, wash the soiled
dishes and put them and all materials
used away, just where you found them
Leave the kitchen as you found it and
neither mother nor cook will object Il
your working in it.

The little boy whom you forget
To play with when the days are fair,
The child whose hopes are sinless yet,
Who kneels to lisp his evening prayer.
Will soon leave of his childish ways
And learn the things that men must
learn:
Why do you waste the precious days
That never, never can return?
You never lead him by the hand,
Nor make his little joys your own;
Ambition sends you her command,
And he is left to play alone:
He never climbs upon your knee
Delighted at the long days end,
To find that you have time to be
His fond and sympathetic friend.
You never can afford to waste
A precious hour amusing him:
The prizes after which you haste
Are always far away and dim:
You must be ever pressing On,
Forgetting. while you strive and plan,
How soon his childhood will be gone,
How quickly he will be a man.
You never pause with him to hear
The breeze that sings among the reeds.
You have no time to give the dear,
Sweet sympathy for which he pleads;
You never rush with him in wild
Pursuit of fairies through the glen,
Yourself again a careless child
Freed from the cares that worry men.
Have you no treasured memories
OF one who gladly played with you,
Before you had been robbed of ease
And when your cares were small and
few7
All, will you rob him OF the joy
OF looking back along the years
When he has ceased to be boy
And Duty's call rings in his ears7
The little boy when you forget
To play with when the days are fair
The child whose thoughts are sinless yet
Who kneels to lisp his evening prayer
VIII soon leave on his childish ways,
And you will sit somewhere alone
Regretting precious wasted days
And joys that might have been your
own.

LLOYD DID GREAT WORK.
Hon. James T. Lloyd has let it be
known among his friends that he will
not stand for reelection to the chair
manship of the national democratic
congressional committee. Mr.. Lloyd
has served as chairman of this import
ant committee six years, through three
congressional elections, which is lolg,
er than any democrat was ever hon.
ored with the place.
When Mr.. Lloyd, who comes from
the First Missouri district and has long
been one of the democratic leaders OF
the house, first took hold of the chair.
manship of the congressional commit
tee, the republicans were in power in
both branches of congress and seemed
likely to be for many years to come
Mr.. Lloyd inaugurated a plan of close
cooperation with the democratic can
didates for congress that was more
systematic and effective than any pol
icy that had ever been worked out
before. Then he built up one of the
largest democratic news syndicates in
the country.
Mr.. Lloyd felt the people were not
getting the Washington news from q
democratic viewpoint, and he deter
mined to supply it to them through the
country press, not only during cam
paigns, but all the time. Ever since
Mr.. Lloyd has been chairman of the
committee the country democratic
newspapers. have been furnished with
a weekly Washington letter of demo
cratic news. The publication of these
letters has been of the greatest helI
to the congressional candidates. Mr.
Lloyd also originated a statistical Blu
reau to gather data for the newspaper
I letters as well as the congressional
candidates. Mr. Lloyd has devoted
much hard work to the cause, and feeli
! that the time has come, now that ths
| democrats are in the ascendancy, fol-
some goodman to step in and take

IMPORTANT MEETING OF Gov
ERNORS.

IMPORTANT NJ EEIANO UT Wv"
ERNORs.
The governors Of the six New Eng
land states met in Boston last week
on invitation Of Governor Foss of Mas
sachusetts, for the purpose of consid-
ering the economic needs Of that SEQ
ton as affected by transportation mo-
nopoly.
If these New England governors can
devise some effective method of re-
lieving the people of these common
wealths from the injustices practiced
by railroad combinations, 1t would be
we'll for the governors OF several of
our middle west states to meet and
see what can be done to protect their
people from transportation Inequalities
which impose disadvantages and seri
Gus handicaps upon business in many
communities.
There can be nothing political, OF
rather partisan, in the consideration
of this subject, as there is nothing
partisan in that meeting in Boston
The governors Of three Of the New
England states are democrats and
three republican; but they met in
friendly consideration Of an important
economic question. There can be ne
doubt that this meeting will result IN
the enactment by these states Of good
uniform legislation that will benefit the
| people.
AS a plan for avoiding the grea'
| dangers Of federal ownership Of rail
roads this New England plan is worth
attention. AS a plan for modified
state ownership. which will not breal
up connecting roads at state lines, 4
is also worth attention.

panion.
An article Of great interest and value
to women is published in the Febru-
airy Woman's Home Companion. 1t is
an account Of the Housewives League,
an organization of 100000 women,
which, in two years, has developed to
the point where it is actually assisting
hundreds of thousands OF housewives
in the United States to reduce the cost
Of living. One of its great contentious
is that women should study the mar
ket reports in the newspapers in order
to get Information about prices which
will enable them to buy intelligently
when they come to deal with trades
men. The article shows how the plan
may be carried out in any town or city
in the United States II also presents
a dramatic picture OF the origin of the
league. Mrs. Julian Heath, a New
York woman, had an experience which
started her to thinking Out of this
experience grew the league. Hers is
a story of woman who started great
things.
Many other important articles are
included in the February Companion
notably an interview with John
Drew, What l think of Women; "
