new NICKELS COINED.
Four Million Five Cent Pieces Ready
for Circulation.

Washington. March -Four mil
lion new nickels with an Indian head
on the face and the figure of a buff
falo on the reverse, to supplant the
time honored five cent piece with the
Goddess of Liberty as its characteristic,
are piled in the vaults of the United
States treasury and subtreasuries to
be turned into public circulation to-
day.
Once in rs years can the secretary
of the treasury without the sanction
of congress, change the design of any
coin. President Wilson's secretary of
the treasury will have an opportunity
to change the dime, quarter and half
dollar, because in 1915 the present de-
signs will have been in circulation for
a quarter of a century. Some of the
treasury officials now in office are in
favor of changing them on the ground
that they are inartiStic.

He declares the policy espoused by
certain Democrats to be merely dis
guised policy of scuttle,' founded on
misconception and blind prejudice,
and concludes thus:
I'm all sincerity, with malice toward
none, with non-partisan bias and with
only the honor of the United States
and the welfare of the Filipino people
at heart, I appeal to my successor, to
those who cherish fond hopes for the
success of his administration and of
the American people. whose altruism
in their treatment of the Filipinos has
challenged the admiration of the
world, to repudiate this ill-advised
proposal and to carry on in the future
as faithfully and, if possible, more
skilfully than it has been in the past

which was conceived by William Nc
KinIey and which has been steadfast-
ly adhered to by those who have been
proud to follow in his footsteps

SAFETYLETS.

Give your employee a safe place to
work, good tools and surround hir-
with competent employees.
Every employee in turn should give
his employer good work and do it in
a careful way to himself and co-em-
ployee.
Carelessness breeds injury and with
it comes distress, pain and sorrow
Repair your mental caliber with
thoughts of care. Then you will not
repair your bones with splints.
Two eyes are better than going
through life with one Therefore wear
goggles in doing work where chips
are liable to fly from the tools or ma.
terials. Goggles are cheaper than
glass eyes and not SO uncomfortable.
Dig the wax out of your ears, espe-
cia1ly before working about moving
cars and machinery. A cleansing of
this kind is cheaper than washing out
wounds or nursing injuries.
When machinery is properly guard
ed, as the law usually provides, be an
old foggy at all times, never keeping
pace with safety, devices; remove the
guard and then take home to your
family a hand or arm mutilated as an
EN- blem that the world moves but that
you have been SO set in your ways

ably more than had fallen at Topeka

ing. There were no cold waves and

has prevailed at Topeka in February
in the past ten years.
The detailed summary of the
months weather that has just been
completed at the local office of the

APPEAL BY TAFT.
President Solicitors for We'll
fare of FiIipinos.
Advise Against Premature In
dependence.

New York, March In a special
article appearing in the Tribune this
morning, President Taft makes, on the
eve of his departure from office, a
final appeal for 'the little brown
brother and sounds a warning against
the ''unwise and i'll considered policy
of those who advocate early Philip
pine independence
NO one" says the president, sis
more solicitous for the ultimate attain
ment of self government by the Fill
pinos than 1, but no one realizes more
clearly than 1 that independence of
the Philippines prematurely granted
will mean inevitably the enslavement
of the Filipino. The father who
grants independence of parental con-
troll to his adolescent son and permits
him to SQuander his heritage before he
has reached mans estate. is guilty of
no greater folly and injustice to his
offspring than would be the people of
the United States were they to yield
to the clamor of this immature people
and to grant to them an independence
they know not how to exercise nor to
safeguard, and of which they would
soon be robbed as surely as would the
youth to whom was intrusted the in
dependent administration of his for
tune.
From a careful study and close in
timacy with the administrations of my
predecessors, 1 can briefly state the
policy which the United States has
adopted and thus far pursued toward
the Philippines. 1t is to govern the
people of the islands for their benefit
and uplifting, and gradually to extend
to- them, as they shall show themselves
fit to exercise it, a greater and greater
measure of popular self government
until they shall be fitted, first to de-
termine for themselves what form of
government is for their best interest,
and, secondly, to preserve and con-
tinue that form of government when
they have chosen it,
Islands History Reviewed.
The president then reviews the his
tory of the efforts of the United States
for the Improvement of conditions in
the islands since their acquisition I'M
der the treaty of Paris in 1898. The
population of the islands at that time.
he points out. consisted of 1000, 900
Christians, 100000 semi-civilized
Moros and 100000 wild tribesmen.
The Christian Filipinos were chiIdlike
and ignorant, barely more than 5 per
cent being able to speak Spanish.
Last year. writes the president,
there were in the islands 1855
schools of varying grades, with a daily
average attendance of S29,073 pupils.
Of the teachers, $50 were Americans
and the others were Filipinos who
have learned to speak and teach Eng
lish. English in the course of two gem
erations will become the common Ian
guage of all the Filipino people"
Another feature of American con-
troll to which the president calls at
tention is the facility afforded to
Christian missionaries to spread the |
gospel of Christian civilization Con- |
tinuing, the president says:
1.-THE presence of Christians in the
Philippines is essential to the con- |
tinued education of the Filipinos and !
to the development of the lower /
rights
