PHILIPPINES
SUBJECT OF TALK
MAJ. M. r. STEELE ADDRESSED
STUDENTS OF THE A. c. THIS
MORNING ON SUBJECT OF ARMY
LIFE IN THE philippines
IN PHILIPPINES FOR SIX YEARS,

Maj. NJ, Il. Steele spoke to the stu
dents of the A. c. this morning on the
subject, Army Life in the Philippines.
Major Steele spent six a in the
Philippines. Two of these years were
spent in Jolo, after the Spanish Amer
lean war. He described the beauties
of the Jolo island, where the climate
is so fine they never use fires. Com
'modities are cheap; meat 10 cents a
pound, chickens Z to 10 cents each: also
a meyer ending supply of vegetables
and fruits.
He spoke of the people as being saw
age n blood thirsty, always seeking
to kill Americans. Even the women
fight, dressed in mems clothes, and, as
one soldier poet has written: IF they
wear their husbands pantses, they
must take their husbands chances
The town of Jolo is walled around
and the Moors have to leave every
evening at 5 o'clock to avoid trouble.
The major gave q talk that was
very interesting and 1t was enjoyed
immensely by his hearers.

ATTEMPTED TO
KILL HIMSELF
THEODORE AMoNsON LEAPED
FROM SOUTH BRIDGE, BUT

Theodore Amonson leaped from the
south bridge this morning, in an at

failed, for his clothing caught On a
projecting pipe at the side Of the
bridge, about five feet below the rail-
ing, and he hung there above the wa
ter until the police We're notified and
removed him from his ~precarious po-
sition. He is lodged in a cell at the
police station.
Amonson is supposed to have been
temporarily insane from the effects OF
whisky. He talks very coherently in
his cell and admitted that he had been
drinking heavily. He said he did not
want to kill himself, and hardly knew
why he attempted the leap.
He says he has "a mother and broth

He said he had not lost any money or
had any trouble, and there seems to
be no cause for the attempted suicide
except liquor.

Along with the views, as they were
thrown upon the screen, DR.. Beard

without money or friends. He was
soon able to find a true friend in one
of Boston's Christian merchants. This
merchant sent him to college, and the
young Jap soon developed into a, man

TIL ALL TAXES IN HANDS OF
TREASURER FOR COLLECTION
ARE PAID. ~. ~.

According to the 1918 session laws,

recorded, for all current taxes and
special assessments in the hands of
the country treasurer or auditor for
collection, to be paid, and notice to

Previously it was only necessary
that delinquent taxes be paid, and this
left a period from Dec. / to March L

on March /.
The new law will leave no period
when it will not be necessary for the
taxes to be paid right UP to Ia be-
fore the transfer can be recorded by

Nobody now eats possum, and nobody
now eats possum and sweet potatoes.
Once the negroes ate postum once in

Katzenbach's Some of the news
Lese Majesty papers and a few of
the cheaper grade of
politicians of the state seem to think
that Frank S. Katzenback, Jr., of
Trenton, has committed lese majesty
in daring to criticise Woodrow Will
son for boosting Acting Governor
Fielder for the real governorship.
In our opinion, Mr.. Katzenbach's
criticism of Wilson should meet the
hearty approval of all rural people.
President Wilson is neither
native nor a resident of the State
of New Jersey, and has no possible
right to NEEDLE in it's affairs Elected
Governor of the State himself, he
spent the time chasing up the
Presidency, slipped out of the job
to which the people Of the State
had elected him, and now seeks to
dictate whom shall be Governor.
Woodrow Wilson used the State
of New Jersey merely as stepping
stone to the Presidency the only
possible use that he ever had for it
and we should remember merely
that he came and left, then turn
our thoughts in to pleasanter
channels. Any attempt to impute

Judge Queen
Reads the

Honor did not express his admir-

as we have used above, but he did
say that he found it interesting, and
we gathered the "pippin" part from
the merry twinkle in his eye.
We had Judge Queen in mind re-
Gently when we said, editorially,
that, under an elective system, good
judges could more easily be elected
than appointed. Unless we have
grossly over-estimated the number
of Judge Queens friends in Hun

have been overwhelmingly elected,
had his selection been left to the
