BIG PROFIT
Is Made on the Sale of Silver
by the Philippine Gov
eminent.
(Correspondence of Associated Pressl

MANILA. p. l., July 14-The
Philippine government has just sold
to the government Of British India
1900, 900 silver pesos at profit OF
close to half million dollars over
the original cost of the currency. The
pesos when coined, each contained
about thirty cents worth of silver
but the price at which they were sold
was 1876 cents.
The phenomenal rise In the price
OF silver the world over some weeks
ago led officials Of the lnsular gov
eminent to study the question of the
wisdom of disposing of part of the
silver hoard which the Philippines
purchased at low prices current In
1902 and 1903. At that time this
purchase was made necessary by law
to secure the issuance Of 34,000,OOO
pesos of paper currency (silver GER
tifCates.) A later law, passed In
1906, permitted a large part Of this
issue of silver certificates to be Sc
cured by gold, but the government
then had in its vaults 34,OOO,OOO
silver pesos, COlned III COsl VI
thirty cents n piece.
Some weeks ago ]. l.. Manning, the
insular treasurer, was sent to Hong
kong to look into the silver market
and to confer with officials Of the gov
eminent of India, then in the mar
ket for silver. The net result Of his
trip was the sale of about one-hfth
of the governments hoard. The de-
livery of the silver is to be made at
the Manila branch of the Hongkong
and Shanghai Banking Corporation,
in lots of u million pesos. The coin
is then to be transferred to India
where il is to be melted into boullion
in. the presence of Insular Auditor c.
II. French, who is now enrOute TO
India TO fulfill this duty.

nolds, secretary of the national COM
mittee, will be secretary.
Besides the presence on the COM
mittee of six Progressives, there are
other indications that the Bull Moose
support is to be counted warmly. Mr..
Wilcox announced that John w, Nc
grath, secretary to Colonel Roosevelt,
had offered his services and they had
been accepted, as had also those OF

Mr.. Wilcox refused to say whether
any of the members had been par
ticularly picked by Mr.. Hughes. The
composition of the committee was
not definitely settled until day or
two since he said.
"Old Guard" is Satisfied.
Despite the fact that six Progress
sives we're named, it was said at Re
publican headquarters, that the Re

Nobody would venture TO say what
William Barnes, Jr., might think of
the placing of Mr.. Parsons on the
campaign committee-in fact, no
body seemed to care. 1t was limited
however, that the rumored opposi-
tion Mr.. Barnes had tried to organize
had been aroused largely by the fact
that Mr.. Parsons was on the slate.

MANS RESIDENCE NO TEST
FOR JUDICIAL FTTN-

To the claim made on behalf of
Mr.. Rice that the southwest should
De represented on the supreme bench
because Judge Morgan is from the
north and Judge Bulge from the
southeast, Judge Dunn, Mr.. Rice's
opponent, recently made the follow
ing reply in the Boise Statesman:
II find that Mr.. Rice and his sup
porters are laying much ctress upon
his place of residence as a reason for
electing him to the supreme bench,
and in fact they are now urging it as
the principal ground. This so-called
argument has been used many times
by candidates for office In this state,
but do not recall having seen a
statement heretofore in support of
any candidate which is quite so re-
markable as the following which APP
pears in one of Mr. Rice's newspaper
advertisements:
UNLESS John G. Rice of Caldwell
is elected justice of the supreme
court, southeast Idaho, with its pecu-
liar irrigation and legal problems,
will be without representation on the
supreme bench"
If it be true, as suggested in this
statement, that Justices Bulge and
Morgan and I, IL / shall be elected,
would not represent Mr.. Rice's sec
ton OF the state, it necessarily fol-
lows that Mr.. Rec, If elected, would
represent only his section OF the
state. / certainly repudiate such a
view. 1t Is equally certain, I am sure
that Mr.. Rice would repudiate the
charge that he, as Justice of the su-
preme court. would represent only
southwest Idaho, which shows how
| utterly ridiculous and foolish 1t is to
ask voters to seriously consider such
| stun as a ground for supporting a
| candidate for the high office of Justice
of the supreme court.
For IL years after Idaho became
a state every member of the supreme
court lived in south Idaho. yet no one
has ever suggested that the court was
for that reason in any degree ineffi-
Gent, or that it did not represent
| all parts of the state.
There is just one test that the
voters should apply to candidates for
the supreme court, and that is the
broad test of fitness of character and
ability. do not claim that this would
necessarily elect me. but l insist thai
the voters ought to apply IL, no mat.
ter whether 1t elects Mr.. Rice or nv,
self, and 1t ought to be applied In
| every instance, even If 1t should re
suit in placing all the members o.
the court in one county To urge vot
ers to act in so important a matter
on mere trifles tends, in my judg
ment. to belittle the highest court o.
the state.
At the beginning of my candidate,
announced in substance that
would not conduct campaign of sci
praise either thru the newspapers ol
the mails, and shall adhere to thi,
rule. A candidates testimony as 1.
