Degrees of bfficiency.
Every well-informed citizen
shares in the opinion of President
Roosevelt, expressed yeeterday
while at the home of Secretary of
the Navy Moody, when lie said:
"The good work of building up
the navy must go 011 without ceas
ing. The modern warship cannot
with advantage be allowed to rust
in disuse. It must be used up in
active service even in time of peace.
This means that there must be a
constant replacement of the in
effective by the effective," says
Harrisburg Telegraph. Never
throughout the life of our active
President has lie shown content
ment with ordinary degrees of ef
ficiency. in his speeches during
the New England tour it has been
impossible for him to hide his own
vigorous personality. 111 his striv
ing for the best in all branches of
the National Government he typi
fies the American spirit which is
never satisfied with past achieve
ments. We have done well and
gloriously in the past, we can do
better in the future.
When that happy day comes
when wars shall cease and nations
shall be at peace with one another
there will be 110 need of ships and
the implements of warfare. Un
fortunately, however near that day
may seem, it has not arrived. Even
the most peacefully inclined citizen
must realize that it is impossible to
fortel the evil hour when the dark
clouds of war will appear 011 the
national horizon. After the out
break of a war it is impossible to
improvise either the ships or the
men of a navy. The length of the
war depends largely 011 the pre
paredness ol' the nation. Since
the United States cannot get along
without a navy, the President be
lieves that there should be 110 doubt
concerning the quality of the men
or the ships. We want 110 ordinary
efficiency; we want the best.
Mr. Pattison's Confession.
The speech of ex-Governor Patti
son at Reading yesterday accepting
the Democratic nomination for
Governor for a third time will
strike the reader in general as some
thing he has heard before. The ex-
Governor's utterances have become
very familiar to the people of the
Commonwealth.
111 thisaddress—which, of course
is the keynote of the Democratic
campaign—Mr. Pattison announces
that he finds the same evils existing
in Pennsylvania that he discovered
when he was first nominated,
twenty years ago and which he met
with again at the time of his sec
ond nomination, a dozen years
since. From this it is plain that
Mr. Pattison's eight years as Gov
ernor did not give the people the
reforms so abundantly promised.
This is an unfortunate report for a
specialist in public evils to have to
make on hisown labors. It must
be discouraging to Mr. Pattison's
own followers.
It must also be a peculiarly un
satisfactory feeling to the candidate
himself that he had promised so
much and achieved so little. It
can hardly fail to stagger the con
fidence and admiration of those
who look upon the Democratic
gubernatorial nominee as the only
honest man in the Commonwealth,
yet they must believe the facts as
he presents them. And they are
told that after he has twice been
Governor things are just as bad as
they ever were—as bad as they
would have been if he had never
been elected to inform them. It is
because two terms have proved such
a confessed failure that a third
term is asked for?
The assurance of Mr. Pattison
that the evils he was twice elected
to wipe out where not wiped out
makes it quite certain the people
of Pennsylvania are not going to
waste another chance 011 him.
Why should it lie expected he
would do in another term what he
failed to do in the two terms lie
has already had? It the esteemed
Democrats really wanted to eradi
cate the various evils they complain
of they would have shown much
more sincerity by nominating some
one who had not shown himself in
eight years of experience to bo a
failure at the job. Their candidate
does not oven now tell how it is to
l»e done; lie merely states that after
he had been twice elected to do it
it is still undone.
This does not present a single
reason why any Republican should
reject Judge Pennypacker in favor
of the Democratic candidate. The
issue is not a personal one between
two candidates. The questions in
volved arc those which divide the
two putties. W hen has ex-Gover
nor I 'at 1 i-1 in lifted his hand in any
serviee hut that of til' - Dutuoeracy,
with all that it is to-day, nationally
and locally? I 'hi In. Press,

Education In the Philippines.
It is a genuine pity that the
Democratic managers, in their re
cently issued campaign text book,
should have wasted so much valu
able effort, space and time in their
endeavor to make a substantial
issue, by asserting that the acquisi
tion of the Philippine Islands was
a monumental error and a despair
ing experiment on the part of the
government. It would have been
an easy matter for the managers of
this party without an issue to have
proven to their own satisfaction the
fallacy of this contention, for facts
have recently arrived from the
Archipelago which are gratifying in
the extreme to the great mass of the
American people who have an abid
ing faith in the destiny of our Hag
and who believe that the advance
ment of civilization is a stern duty
and a righteous cause.
The facts which prove beyond
question that the native Filipinos
art; making rapid strides towards
the institutions of modern civiliza
tion, under the paternal and guid
ing hand of the government, are
embodied in the most recent annual
report issued l>3 r the Secretary of
War. The best evidence of this
progress towards enlightenment is
furnished by a review of the facts
in the report concerning education
and the public schools in the Is
lands. When this phase of the
situation was advocated in Con
gress by Republican statesmen, it
will be remembered that a clamor
was instantly raised by the Demo
cratic press that the scheme was
impossible and impracticable be
cause of the fact that the Fhilipinos
were of that benighted class that
would have nothing to do with
civilization. What has already
been accomplished in that so-called
land of darkness proves the fallacy
of this.
The Department of Public In
struction in the Island is now under
the head of a general superinten
dent, who has divided the territory
into eight divisions, and has ap
pointed a competent head to each
division. In his last report to the
Secretary of War the superinten
dent states that he already has at
work eight superintendents, eight
principals and assistants for
normal, agricultural and manual
training work, who have under
their supervision 781 teachers from
the United States; besides these are
80 teachers selected from Ameri
cans who made applications in the
Philippines, as well as two superin
tendents.
The most surprising feature of
the educational experiment, how
ever, shows the commendable
eagerness with which the natives
come forward to receive instruc
tions as native teachers. (Xn April
10 last, when this particular branch
of (lie project was started, accomo
dations had been provided for but
.'550 scholars. This was thought to
be ample, but 011 tlie opening day
450 enrolled and soon after it was
necessary to make provisions for
GOO. Of these.">7o studied faith
fully to the end of the term, and
the report is to the effect that their
progress in acquiring English is
gratifying in the extreme. At the
present time there are 4,000 native
teachers being employed and 2.000
of them are receiving instruction in
English.
But the good work has gone much
further than this. It is now esti
mated that 150,000 children are en
rolled in the public schools, but
only about one-half of that number
can be provided for at present.
The adult natives have not been
neglected, as over 10,000 of them
are receiving instructions in Eng
lish at night schools, and many
more are applying but cannot yet
be taken care of.
It would seem from this casual
array of facts that (In- authors of
the Democratic Campaign Text
Book would do well to withdraw
that misleading document and
change the title so a* to make it
conform more elo.-elv to its unre
liable contents.

Farm Prosperity.
Henry Herr, of Lancaster town
ship, Lancaster county, last week
sold thirteen head of cattle in
Philadelphia. Their average weight
was 1,320 pounds, and he received
for them $9.05 per hundred,
amounting in the appregate to
515,(i00.31) or a little more than
$l2O per head, and yet the free
trade calamity organs try to make
us believe that farmers are not
participating in the general Repub
lican prosperity.—Harrisburg Tele

His Life Saved by Chamberlain's Colic

"B. b. Byer, a well known cooper of

Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy

doctors call bilious dysentery, and could
fret nothing to do him any food until he
tried this remedy. It gave him immedi
ate relief," says B. T. Little, merchant,

little, if any, relief, when a neighbor
learning of his serious condition, brought
him a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,

cured him in less than twenty-four hours.
