American Machinist.
We know an executive who wants
two or three men as assistants: If he
could find them in his plant he would
gladly pay them $40 a week. He has
tried a considerable number In these
positions during the past year. but
without success as yet. He feels that
he is positively hampered by the lack
of them.
We know that there is an active de
mand for $4,000 men. and we can
readily believe that there is a keen
demand for 10000 men.
II is remarkable that in a plant EN-.

so few who raise themselves above
their fellows far enough to be con

even, of those few, not all have the

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM
LU4LTER LUILLIAMS, LII

The view expressed by General Aguf-
naldo is held by every observer.
Nowhere else has there been SO am
bilious an educational undertaking.
the effort to put an entire nation to
the extension Of public school sys-
TEN to every village. Even under ex-
listing conditions every child on the
larger islands and in the more popu.
lous communities finds public school
within easy reach. In Manila is a nor
NAL school doing good work. an excel
lent high school and a growing univer-
sity. under the wise direction of Presi-
dent Thomas Bartlett, which has,
among other we'll equipped depart
ments, a medical school regarded as
the best in the far East. Industrial
and technical instruction Is provided
in the more important centers. Eng
lish is compulsory in all these schools
and tuition is free. The Spanish Ian
guage is still in everyday use in Ma
.nila, because, said Filipino. we court
ed our sweethearts in that language
but the younger Fflipinos speak Eng
lish and its use is rapidly becoming
general.
Great Progress In Sanitation.
The Americans have instituted
other reforms than that in education
In the matter Of public health much
progress has been made. A system OF
sanitation and the drilling Of artesian
wells for better water supply have
lowered the death rate in some places
SO per cent. Cholera and smallpox
have been practically eliminated. lep
ers have been segregated and plague
spots have been made clean and
healthful for human habitation. There
is no place in all the Orient freer from
disease. The road system has been
extended until there are nearly two
thousand miles OF hard-surfaced high
ways. far superior to most OF the main
roads in Missouri or the middle West
with many excellent bridges. Fine har-
bor works have been constructed al

You can't grow strong by merely ex-

kind you can digest and assimilate.
Unless the food you eat is digested
it adds to the burden the digestive or

often means a nervous breakdown.

Governed for the Filipinos.
The record of the United States in
the archipelago can be studied with
pleasure by every American citizen.
whatever his opinions may be as to
the acquisition or disposition of these
islands. 1t is, with one or two lament
able exceptions, a record of unselfish.
efficient, honest public service. There
has been little or no selfish exploita-
ton. Administration has been for the
benefit of the Filipinos. Outside the
army and fortifcations expenses, the
cost of the administration has been
met by local taxation and this taxation
has been turned into the Philippine
treasury for local aervice. The Amer
leans are amateurs in colonial govern
ment. They lacked experience when
they took Up the burden here. Per
haps for these very reasons they en-
tered upon the work with enthusiasm
and conducted it without falling into
the grooves of ancient ofIicialism
which mar much of the colonial gov
ernment of other and older nations.

which will go into effect February IA.
1t has made change also in the mat
ter of time, the use being extended
from one minute to two for the or.

down in railroad time tables and re.
Numbering that the use here is for

reader may perhaps figure out com.
parison for himself.

from so cents to 30 cents.
Marysville is 142 miles from San

| From San Francisco to Red Bluff
c25 miles, the reduction Is from $1.5'
to so cents. The rate from Chicago
to Springfield, 1872 miles, is 81.
The California figures for overtime
are lacking. They might go far to

In the charges. In the Chicago case'
cited after Lake Forest the rate To-
an additional minute is: To Kanka
kee, 10 cents; to Milwaukee. Is cents

The most interesting feature OF thu
