PHILIPPINE Islands The accompanying
photograph shows a whole family of
female smokers putting away like loco
motives GA their immense cigars
Their American sisters who take to
the weed could hardly do more than
this,
The expression on the faces in the
picture does not speak highly for the
pleasure derived from my lady nico-
tine" In fact, the members of this
family look rather pathetic with the
great cubes OF tobacco stuck into
their mouths, and it is hard to recon
Gle oneself to the sight of little chill
dren, scarcely out Of the toddling age,
putting away at cigars which would
put q veteran smoker down aad out"
Since Uncle Sam took the Philippine
Islands under his wing, the ciYilizing
influence that has followed in the
wake Of the stars and stripes has
been the means of largely abolishing
the use Of tobacco by women and chill
dreh. The sigh pictured in the photo
graph was common 4 few years ago,
but is now becoming rarely. so rap
idly have the FiIipinOs assimilated
American customs.

of series of treaties by which he hopes to bring about universal peace. He has plan that will cause the Swords to be beaten into plowshares and the spears into pruning hooks when the war drum throbs no long CT and the battle flags are fur1ed;" when the dove will pull the eagle from his perch, when the war dog will be supplanted by the shepherd dog, when nations will vie with each other only in the arts of peace.
 The first treaty is between the United States and the diminutive re- public of Salvador, a little spot on the map of Central America.
 Salvador has an area a little less than half the size of Yavapai county, and population equal to about two thirds that of Arizona. This Tom Thumb of the nations covenants not to attack the United States with out first taking six months to think it over Also she agrees to su6- init her grievance to an impartial commission for investigation.
 If, at the expiration of six months of reflection, she should still believe cause for war exists, then she can send her battleships to our coast and land her. armies on our soil.
 But MT. Bryan believes if Salva- dor will only take time to think, when she has a grievance against this nation, war may be averted and the commerce of the United States escape destruction on the high seas.
 We are glad to know that such treaty has been made. We can dis pense with fully one man in our standing army and one bluejacket now may go to blowing corn instead of bearing a rifle.

A TARIFF BOARD.

The tariff commission idea will not down, because it is a logical idea, which sooner or later must find ex- pression in administration. Congress has been a poor tariff maker for years. Its committees have wrought conscientiously enough, but they have been handicapped always by lack of that precise information which is nec- essary to the adjustment of rates to conditions not only in one industry, but in other allied industries.
 Congress never can expect to keep up with the march of industry. It never can hope to be an expert tariff board, such as Germany has. The changes that come about as the re- suit of invention, of alterations of the trade methods of different in dustries, of the changes of wage scales in different countries, will al ways be just a little ahead of the speed Congress as whole can make.
 Why, then, should not Congress delegate that task to a commission of experts which would be charged with the duty of keeping up with the procession? Then the Congressmen might always hope to have informa- ton up to date Changes could be made as conditions warranted, and violent upheavals, like the one now in progress, would be avoided and business never would be unsettled thereby.
Weekly journal-miner., 1913-08-13
THE ENGLISH BALLOT.

Geat Britain is in the throes of another big political upheaval. The slogan is, "One man, one vote" There are men in England who have more than one vote and there are more than two and a half million male adults who have no vote. The Liberals propose to change it so that each man will have the right to cast one vote and no more.
 The bill has passed the Commons and has been rejected in the House of Lords, along with the Irish home rule bill and the bill for the dis establishment of the church in Wales. It must now be passed by the Commons in two separate ses- sions in order to become law.
 Tory opposition is natural enough since there are 525,0OO plural voters in England and every one of them is conservative Under the present arrangement a British citizen may vote in every constituency in which he has property. This is a relic of the theory that ownership of prop erty is the basis of suffrage.
 As the British constituencies have the habit of voting on different days, it is easily possible for a large prop erty holder to cast his vote not only once, twice, three times, but many times. The injustice of the practice is apparent, yet such is the conserva- tism of English opinion that the long fight for its abolition must be waged for two more years, supposing that the Liberals remain in power.

mics because they want revenge or because they cannot use him. All 1f which probably is true, but we fail to see how that helps the case of Mir. Sulzer.
 It appears that the Governor of New York swore to and returned a report of his expenditures that was
 -95e false and in violation of the law he was sworn to uphold, defend and enforce. The evidence is clear and the proof unmistakable, and if Mr. Sulzer escapes impeachment it will be by the skin of his teeth.
Weekly journal-miner., 1913-08-13
SULZER IN BAD.

Governor Sulzer went into office with a tremendous majority and a reform program for the common wealth of New York Also he went into office talking. But just now he is not talking so much. There is, on the other hand, a very decided chance that he will be impeached and turned out of office in disgrace.
 It appears that NIT. Sulzer failed to report all the money collected and expended for him during his campaign. Also that he used cam paign funds on the stock exchange. A legislative investigation followed and the facts were disclosed. The Governor is silent because he has no excuse to offer.
 But the Governors private secre- tary is talking for the chief execu- tive of the State just now. He is letting it be known that the charges against the Governor have been in- cited by personal and political enc
