girl named Pacilica. whose father was
master potter. This Young girl was very
fond of the little boy. for he was a
neighbor. ana so it came about That hcr
father, Benedetto. taught him the secret
OF paintinS on claN.

PHILIPPINES, SLAVERY.

Substantiatien of previous reports concerning the conditions in the Phil ippines which are in direct violation of the constitutional provisions of this country cali fer the insistence by this country either for such a centradic- tien of the claims which have been made by men of standing and prom thence that they cannot be disputed, or the taking of steps to insure the aboishment of the conditions. That legislation IS pending concerning the granting of freedom to the Ffllp1nos is insufficient to serve as an excuse for the presentation of reports con corning slavery in the islands if 1t does not exist Whatever may be the attitude concerning the granting of in dependence to the islands, of those who have declared themselves upon con- ditions in the islands, if the facts are not as declared they should be easy to upset.
 This country has taken too de- cided stand against slavery to permit it to be carried on i'll any territory where Old Glory flies. and it is of par ticular importance that it should dis pei any doubts as to it's complete erad- ication before any serious cOnsidera- ton is given to the ending of the ob- legations which the United States is under to the Philippines, To permit the islands 10 continue under such a state of affairs, or to release them to their own care. with the sale of human beings in existence in any form would be an everlasting cause for shame.

NEED TO RAISE CATTLE

When it comes to conducting educa- to1al campaigns for the benefit of any class Of American people it is easy 10 understand the emphasis which President Bischof of the Amer ican Meat Packers association believes should be placed upon the realization Of the need 1t raising beef cattle for food The steady dropping of the domestic supply of cattle has been reflected in the continued high prices of meat and the prospects of it's drop ping as far as beef raising in this country is concerned Is dubious.
 With the supply of cattle decreasing and the consumption of meat increas- ing each year there is but one result and that Is high prices. What effect imported beef will have upon prevail lrE prices will depend upon the amount which can be obtained and Inc quality of the beef Whatever ef- Feet it does have. whether j- be large .er small, it does not overcome the fact that an important industry of this country is being allowed to disappear because of the failure to maintain the supply equal to the demand. The importance Of raising beef cattle for food is greater today than ever before There is no uore profitable method sf converting the large crops of grain Into more valuable commodity than pu-tt1E ft into cattle raising.

IN BEHALF OF PEACE.

TntiI international peace becomes a fact instead of a wish, the greatest andaavors which can be made in it's behalf will be preparations for preven- ton of war. The idea which has again been phi forward of making the Azores islands a neutral zone. through an un- derstanding between Portugal which owns them. and Great Britain, Ger many and the United States, is one conceived as a help during war in such a portion of the globe that they would be handy a s a supply and coal ing center The suggestion is one which would simply be taking advan- tage of opportunities as they present themselves No war is anticipated with any Mediterranean country and none is desired. but preparation is one of the things which would operate to check any such pending calamity.
 The making of a neutral zone of the islands would mean the coOpera- ton of the countries in the equipping of their station there and such an in dicarion of preparedness means an ob- feet lesson for peace While it would prove of much advantage as naval base during trouble, it also has equal possibilities during peace and as is pointed out the free access to the islands will prove of immense com mercial importance following the open ing of the Panama canal. The get ting together of four nations and the agreement upon a neutral zone is. how ever. a step towards peace which is worthy of enc0urag cement.

 In the first place. I do not believe such sinners are as common as we imagine, And, in the second place, where they do exist they are but the result of the disposition to cheat on the part of those who buy their goods
 The desire to get something for nothing, to procure goods at less than the regular price-in other words. to find a "bargain"- what is it when you analyze it, but a lurking wish to cheat? Why should you not pay what it is worth for a thing you want? Why begrudge the middleman his pro- fit?
