The Printers Art.
(New York World )

New York is first in so many things that the news of it's additional dis tinction as the center of the worlds printing industry will be taken as a not this a remarkable distinction? To lead the world in the art preserva~ tive of arts. to have beaten Leipsjg and Amsterdam and Paris and final ly London. that is surely evolution that would have astonishcd Ben Franklin no less than Gutenberg.
 From the rude hand-press at Mainz and the first font of movable types to the 2.700 printing plants n New York with a capital of SCHOOL 900 is from any point of view an as founding development. And consid- ering what even a little printing press can do, what LoVejQy's did, who can estimate the possibilities of good or evil in these thousands of clankinE machines" Certainly no free people in the worlds history has ever had anything like this aggrega ton Of agencies of publicity.
 The expansion is wonderful enough on the commercial and the propa gandist side. Is it as wonder full on the artistic side? Do American master craftsmen produce anything to compare in finish and permanent Valus as works Of the printers art with the output of the early printcrs of Venice or Amsterdam? Is there an Aldus Manutius or an Elzcvir anys where among them?

THE PHILIPPINES.

Il
 Self-determination should apply te the Philippines as we'll as to othe1 countries and 1t is pleasing to learr from high sources that the Filipino. nave advanced to such a stage t1a they are capable ol handling the7 own affairs. It i5 also cor1i,>- l-..- :. that they desire to be their own direc tors as the aspiration for indcpend cnce is a wholesome ambition
 The only two nationally-knowl newspapers to comment on the Phil ippine situation, the New York Worlc and the Springfield Republican, agret that the hour has arrived 10 confe independence on the islands in tn Pacific. The World says:
 It was fortunate that Mir. Taft should have been tho first Gov ernor General. lie had courage, patience and confidence that in American hands the problems of the Philippines could be mas tered. Tn those early years the Filipinos learned to expect hon esty and efficiency from those in authority over them. Since then by rapid stages they have ad- yanced from the backward posi- ton of a subject race under for egn rule to that of colony en- toying virtually the full benefits of -sovernm ent. After the 1J,i Jr,i pal purposes they elected the popular branch of the Filipino Legislature After d few years trial they were charged with the responsibility of clecting the en- tire Legislature. The duties or administration have passed al most entirely into the hands of t'ilipinos. The islands have been provided with a sound school Sys- tenn and decent local government and their industries have pros pered The fears Of failure have been defeated and the expecta- tions of the most hopeful have been exceeded in the steady pro gross Of the Iilipinos in fitness for self government.
 It has been a marvellous achievement, and it will stand forever to the honor of the Unit cd States and to the credit of the Filipino people that the cXpcri- mcnt has succeeded.
 The Republican comments as fol lows:
 Since 19t6. the so- called Jones bill granting an extension of self government to the FiHpinos has become a law and the inSular government is now organized in accordance with it's provisions. It is greatly to the credit of the F'il- ipinos that during the war be- tween the United States and Ger many their loyalty to this Coun- try was conspicuous and that their general attitude as a people gave no uneasiness whatever to the Washington government. This record of loyalty under possible temptation to give aid and en- Coura gement to our country's enemies entities the F9lipinos to be heard by Congress when a spe- cial mission comes to America asking that the original pledges extending to the people of the islands be redeemed at an early date.
 It is Congress that must take the initiative in carrying into ef- feet the nations dges-Repub- lican as well as Democratic. The real power to satisfy Filipino aspirations has passed out of the hands of this administration with the election of Republican major ites in the two houses.

Short Tariff Bills.
Wa terbury Arierican)

Republican leaders in the new con- gress have about decided not to un- dertake the Ia glorious and ungrateful task of revising the whole tariff in d bill which President Wilson is very likely to veto. They will keep the issue before the people, however. and perhaps do business some good by trying to pass short bills affecting g each some particular subject of in- dustrial need. Tn this way they may may keep the issue alive.

Spain'S German Ships.
Christian Science Monitor

Christian Science Mon1tOr).
 At a time when the need for ship ping is urgent beyond words to dc scribe; when many thousands of sol diers who have been away from their home and country for years are being delayed in their return for lack of transport; when the legitimate traffic of the world is being held up in all directions for the same reason; when every ship that can be reQuisitioned is needed to carry food to Europe; between sixty and seventy German ships and tWenty-three Austrian ships, representing a total tonnage of over 3OO,000, are lying idle in Spanish ports. By a single stroke of the pen Spain might take owe" those ships to morrow, and place them at the serV- ice of civilization. The question of legality does not, and never has en- tered into the matter. Quite apart from the fact that German subma - rines have sunk more than one-fifth of the Spanish merc2 ntile marine, Spain's right 10 make use of interned German vessels has never been ques- toned. Spain, however. has fearfully avoided any such "unfriendly act" and even today, with Germany re- duced to apparent impotence, the Count de Ronlanones is found almost imploring the Cortes not to raise the question of the interned German ships, as it is question they are 'still 1 unable to discuss and the govern ment has to consider the desires ot l others"
 i< Now, there must be an end to al l this some day, and the sooner an enc ; is made to it the better.

Another "KCforn" Party DAi'!-
(Ncw York Fil raid }

I
 Political hystcria which periodical ly develops in the West and Middle West always has been short lived and now, it seems, the non partisan league. which has for a time ruled in North Dakota, is going the way of all the rest. Dissension and open re- beIlion have sprung up to VeX the leaders who have profted by their brief reign and it is not difficult to fOresee the end. The non partisan lea que will be buried in the plot wit h the Greenbacker. the Farmers all lance and the Free SilVerites. The nnmistakable symptoms of dissolution are manifest, for the leaders are openly accusing one another and the rival camps are busy with their fight within the briefly formidable forces.
 The fundamental difficulty with these "reform' parties is that they have no common ground for asso- citation except that they are "Out' and want to get in" Once they are ''in' those very human vices of sell tishness and greed assert themselves and the excesses are so great that they are revoiting: Id all of these parties there are numerous men and women who arc sincere and honest, but they are so untutored that they are easily made the dnnes of the un- scrupulous leaders. In each case, however, the greedy mon who obtain power oVerstep the limit and the erst- while party goes to smash. The non- partisan league is in the hearsc head ed for the common graveyard.

SWEET POTATOES CAN BE
DRIED Vt MONROE. Ia,

The Profitable Farm Bureau
wes very active last spring in
urging the farmers to plant
sweet potatoes. At that time
It was understood that ware
houses would be built to take
care Of this crop. Harvest time
IS approaching, the potatoes are
beginning to come in and there
IS no ware house in which to
store them.
Feeling this situation keenly
Mr.. Chas. E. Carter, has been
trying to secure transit priv
ileges for drying them at Mon
roe, La.
Tie following extract from
letter 10 Mr.. Carter from the
Arkansas Jobbers & Manufac-
turers Association is quoted for
the benefit of those who may
be interested.
There is a tariff in effect at
The present time which we be-
Eeye will take care of your
needs. It is f. A. Leland
tariff 61-A, 1CC 1865, which
provides for the stopping of
sweet potatoes in Arkansas and
Louisiana for drying, the stop
To be at any directly intermedi-
ate point. If there is an out of
line haul from the drying point,
the following charges will be
made in addition to the through
rate.
Where distance is SO miles or
less add 2 lie.
Where distance is Is miles
and over so miles, add &c.
Where distance is 100 miles
and over IS miles, add sc.
Where distance is 125 miles
and over 100 miles. add 6 lac.
The a. L. & NJ. and Missouri
Pacific are both parties to this
tariff. Il originally only cover
ed shipments in Louisiana, but
effective last March was amend
ed to also incl1de shipments
from Arkansas.

REV. c. ID. WOOD MOVES
FROM MONTICELLO TO
LAKE VILLAGE.
His Leaving Regretted BY The
Entire Community.

Rev. c. d. Wood and family
are leaving this week for Lake
Village, their future home.
Probably there is no family in
Monticello whose leaving would
occasion deeper regret to larg-
er circle of friends. Rev. Wood.
familiarly known as Carroll in
Monticello, where he was born
and reared, has always had 4
host of friends among young and
old. Openhearted cordiality.
ready helpfulness and sincere
earneStness have been his char
acteristics from childhood. AS
a minister he is always heard
with pleasure by Monticello PEG
pie irrespective of denomina
tional lines.
Mrs. Wood, who in every sense
of the word is a help-meet for
her husband, has during the
few years of her residence in
this city endeared herself to its
entire citizenship. Her inspir-
ing leadership in all movements
for the uplift and betterment of
the community, her willingness
to be helpful in any capacity in
carrying forward the work of
the various church organiza-
lions, her tender sympathy for
all in sorrow or distress of any
kind, these are some of the
qualities in her character that
have made her such tremen-
dous force for good.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wood have
wonderfully beautiful voices and
could literally sing their way in
to the hearts of any community.
II it were possibly to say where
they will be missed most, per-
haps one would be safe in say
ing that it will be when special
music must be arranged for.
There are many, many families
In this city whose members will
never cease to remember with
gratitude those occasions when
happiness was made more com
plete or grief rendered less
poignant by the songs of their
beautifully blended voices.

SURPRISE PARTY FOR
MRS. CARROLL WOOD

On last Saturday afternoon
the ladies of the Baptist Church
met at the Church at four
O'Clock and went in a body to the
home of Judge z. T. Wood to
give a surprise party to Mrs.
Carroll Wood. They brought
as a part of the surprise and as
a token of their love and esteem
a beautiful tea cart. On it they
had previously placed the re-
freshments for the afternoon.
sandwiches and tea. 1t was all
a complete surprise just as it had
been planned and was greatly APP
preciated by Mrs. Wood, whose
many friends have found so
many ways of showing their
affection for her and regret be-
cause of her leaving.
