TRADE IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.

Every now and then the American
people are reminded that the Philip
pine islands are under the stars and
stripes. More than half the time the
reminder is in the shape of a news
dispatch telling of a clash between
troops and natives, but there is a
bright side occasionally. The report
of theb bureau of insular affairs for the
fiscal year just ended bears evidence
to a fine gain in commerce since prac-
tically free trade with the United
States was inaugurated four years
g the business between the two
countries being nearly doubled. The
foreign trade, which is considerably
less than one-half Of the commerce
with h mother country, has more
than doubled during the period.
With a few years more of stable
government and a ~fast-growing com
merce, the Fflipinos can be expected
to be sufficiently impressed with the
benefits of peace to be qualified to con-
duct their own government. The re-
demption of an alien people trans
formed by the fortunes of wal into
wards has been an expensive process,
which a driven this country from,
rather than toward, n desire for
permanent occupancy. In the years to-
come the Fflipinos will acknowledge
h a the task has been in the main an
altruistic one, the chief recompense for
which will be in the way Of increas-
ing trade relations.

ANOTHER PIPE
y ~. ORGAN IN FARGO.

The music of the services at st.
Marks English Lutheran church will
soon be embellished with the aid Of a
fine pipe organ, two manuals n with
a detached keyboard, which means the
instrument is provided with an electric
equipment. An expert from the organ
works at New Haven, Conn.,, is now
daily at work installing the organ and
it will be two or three weeks before
the great instrument will be ready for
work. At present the Rev. William S.
Ulrich, pastor of the church, cannot
give any idea when the organ will be
formally dedicated.
The organ was given to the church,
in part, by Andrew Carnegie, the well
known philanthropist, who gave $2,-
600 Of the amount, while eight of the
members of the church gave the bal
ance, so there is no Indebtedness and
it can be consecrated to the uses of
public service. 1t is one of the finest
instruments that was ever brought into
the state. The work Of putting it in
the organ loft will require considerable
time. The eight members Of the
church, who contributed so largely in
the work, are also receiving many
words Of praise for what they have
DONE.

A SPLENDID

The st. Paul Dispatch has dug up
a speech made by Congressman Young
of North Dakota that is worthy of
wide publicity. The Dispatch com
ments as follows:
The Congressional Record reports a
recent speech in congress by Repre-
sentative Young of North Dakota
which seems to have been overlooked
at the time and probably ~unjustly OBJ
Scured by tariff n currency consid-
erations. What the occasion was W.
have no present means of knowing,
but Mr.. Young took advantage of ii
to recall to congress the incidents con-
nected with the Bagot and Rush
treaty of 1917 which resulted in tho
disarmament, since that time, of the
Great Lakes. 1t was merely an lex
! change Of notes. between Charles Ba-
got, the British minister, and Richard
Rush, acting secretary of state, by
which modest designation Is known
the agreement which for a hundred
I years has kept the lakes free of arma-
ment and discovers such great cities
as Chicago, Detroit, Toronto and Mon
treal without the investment of a
single dollar for land defenses either
in men or forts.
What Mr.. Young called to the par
ticular attention of congress was the
fact that in spite of the simple, easy
method of it's annulment-six months
notice by either of the contracting
parties-this treaty has remained in
force for nearly a century, a blessing
to the people of two nations and a
powerful argument for naval dis
armament the world over. Here is
the concrete example of 100 years Of
naval disarmament upon the great in
land seas of the North American on
tinent.
The reliable Congressional Record
notes that the delivery Of a short
speech by Congressman Young was
punctuated by frequent applause. In
this one respect the official preserver
of national legislative thought m &C
ton is prone to ~exaggeration. The
terms "(applause)" and "Qaughter)"
appear with suspicious frequency to
relieve and illumine its otherwise
prosy pages. But in this instance it
must be accepted as accurate and the
applause as appropriate and merited.

the uneasiness and hesitation which
tariff agitation and the resultant
there are many indications that the
business contraction have produced,
there are many indications that the

crops at the present moment is most
fiattering. From every portion of the
cotton belt come reports Of promis-
ing crops of cotton and corn. In the
sugar district the condition of the
can crop holds out the prospect of a
good yield and a fine rice crop is
rapidly maturing in southern and

Decline of Muckrakinq.

Kansas City Journal: The New
York newspaper which paid a good
round sum for the Confessions of
Colonel Mulhall cannot understand the
singular apathy of the American peo-
pie to this bit of dubious journalistic
enterprise. To put 1t differently, the
New York newspaper is dismayed that
its investment has fallen fiat and tina
nobody is paying the least attention
to its somewha frantic efforts to claim
credit for discovering this ma1odor-
Gus informer. Something seems to be
wrong with the public. for the latest
attempt to pander to the undertaking
taste has failed miserably. The pur-
chaser Of the Mulhall confessions Is
forced to the reluctant conclusion that
journalistic filth is no longer in de-
mand. Times and the public appetite
have changed.
