which provides for the withdrawal of
the sovereignty of the United States
in the archipelago not sooner than
TWO years and not later than four.
The President had the deciding
vote on the measure, showing how
closely the Senate divided on this
important matter. 1t is extremely
doubtful, however, whether the
House, which is not so subservient to
White House beckoning as was the
case a year ago, will concur in the ac-
tion of the Senate.
The more the situation is studied by
conservative and thoughtful men the
more vital becomes this question of
Philippine independence. All who are
intimately acquainted with the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the Cnited
States in the Philippines are of one
mind regarding the attitude of the
Wilson administration on this ques-
ton. Private letters and public state
ments all go to show that the natives
are not ready for independent gov
ernment and their last estate will be
infinitely worse than their first under
the rule of Spain should the present
scheme of withdrawing the United
States sovereignty succeed.
Under the amendment adopted Con-
gress alone can give the Filipinos po-
uhcal freedom and the President in

FALsEHooDs ABOUT BANKS

TIE careful how you talk about
ID bank. If you can't say some
thing good, don't say anything.
out in Pittsburgh this week a run on
a bank was caused by the circulation
of a falsehood that may have been
trivial when it started, hut which came
within a very narrow margin of ruin
ing a perfectly solvent institution. a
reward of $4,000 has been offered for
the apprehension of the person who
started the lie. 1t is to be hoped he
will be caught and punished. as the
law has wisely provided. Not only
banks but thousands of depositors are
injured by false reports of bank
troubles.

"PAYS 10 ADVERTISE"

Shareholders of the American Their
mos Bottle Company, of New York,
received on New Years Day checks
to cover dividend, No. 9 of $3.50 per
share on the 81 goo, 900 capital stock.
The company started a few years ago
with a cash working capital of $20,-
900, of which $4,000 was necessary
to equip it's first small plant. The re-
naming $1,000 was invested in five
full-page advertisements in five lead
ing New York dailies. The company,
through accumulated profits, has ex-
pended close to $1,000,000 in public

Certainly not! But when the wife

step, in the opinion of Mr.. Snedecker,
of Reading.

that the mother might as well have
told her daughter not to go swimming
at all as applied to the vice situation,
and as he further explained, it means
that all the trouble these people go
to will amount to simply this-that
the department will not tolerate any
viciousness.
All of which is very interesting and
mayhap reassuring. 1t has been
stated that the scarlet women of Read

since January first their intention of

for the publicity department under

Men interested in politics and in
the advance of the temperance move
ment in Pennsylvania are watching the
developments in license courts this
month and plans for the local option
campaign for election of members of
the Legislature will be based on the
results. Jefferson county was added to
the dry list yesterday by Judge Corbet,
sitting at Brookville, and the local OPP
tion forces are looking to the new
judges in Beaver and Mercer to make
those counties dry as well. There are
fears that Lawrence, which was put in
the dry column a few years ago by
Judge Porter, will become wet. Indi-
ana has been granted licenses and in
all probability the new judges will be
liberal with licenses in Tioga and
Miffiin. The counties which are dry
now number ten, as follows: Greene,
Wyoming. Juniata, Miffiin, Bedford,
Huntingdon. jefferson, Venango, Tioga
and Lawrence.

If the Girl Is Entitled
To Liberty, Why Was She
Ever Arrested At All

Cussie Kassoff, the l7-year-old girl
who gave birth to child, entirely alone
rose from her bed in few hours and
after carefully wrapping the babe in a
piece of blanket, carried it to an alley
where she deposited it in an ash barrel,
and who was subsequently arrested for
abandoning her child, is likely to regain
her freedom by assuming other bonds
the bonds of matrimony.
In other words, Gussie is going to be
let out because the young man in the case
has been found and has agreed to marry
her.
Of course We are glad if Gussie wants
to marry him, and of course We hope he
is trying to make good because ne wants
to rather than because he thinks he has
to- but what we cannot understand is how
the mere fact of their marriage relieves
Gussie of the criminal guilt, if guilt
there be
Was Gussie arrested because she was
not married or because she abandoned
her baby!
And does the magnanimous action of
the young man wash her clean of her
sins?
Poor Gussie was another victim of our
social system when it locked her UP be-
cause it had given her no chance to face
the world with her baby in her arms.
If it was wrong for Gussie, to the ex-
tent of locking her up, why was it not
equally wrong for the young man to
abandon the little girl mother of his
babe?
1t is very confusing and hard to work
out
Perhaps somebody will help US; but
why the marriage sets everything quite
right, we do not know. 1t is as if the
man could pay for Gussie's unmotherly
act Ut years old. remember) and his own
unmanly and unfatherly act, by promis-
ing to look after her, and we are wonder
ing how he will treat Gussie afterwards.
Will he perhaps taunt her upon occa-
sions of having been in Jail?

they have solved most OF Europe's

with spoois Of thread for fishing lines
and Bonded pins for hooks,
They sometimes wished me with
them. but always wished In vain.
I'd rather be with rosy Nell a-swing-

But soon cloud OF sorrow came-a
strange young man from town
Was introduced to rosy Nell ny

She staid away from school next day.

For she will go OF with some other
