The Philippines-
THAT THE president made no
mistake In his selection of
the men now Nerving; on the
Philippine commission Is
rapidly being" demonstrated by their
work as details of It are reported.
The establishment of a native civil
service, the beginning of public road
building and railway extension and
the establishment of effective control
over the saloon business In Manila are
among: the points in evidence and the
spirit of Intelligent determination
which they represent is bound to make
Its Impression upon the Filipinos in
course of time,
To a friend in Cinclnatl, Judge Tart,
Wio chairman of the commission, re
cently wrote: "With these islands
completely pacified they are far and
away the best possessions In the Orient
for purposes of trade and develop
ment. Their climate is betrer than
the climate of any tropical country I
know, and the capacity for agricul
tural, mineral and commercial devel
opment would seem to be unlimited.
Even with t-he unsettled condition of
the country, 'the tonnage of the ves
sels coming Into the harbor of Manila,
exclusive of the government trans
ports, is double what it ever was in
Spanish times, and the same thing Is
true of the inter-Island tonnage. With
the construction of roads and railroads
through these islands, the opportuni
ties for development cannot be exag
gerated. These people are a people
who lake to the luxuries of life, en
joy good clothes and comforts and
markets among them for cotton goods,
for canned goods, for flour, for petro
leum and for machinery can be created
in wonderfully short time. One of the
things that is needed here is the lu
ll oduction of American business
methods. The establishment of two or
three large American business houses
here, (retail or wholesale), carrying
into business the same methods that
prevail at home, would do wonders
for the business standards of these is
lands." These things will come. Common
wealth 'building is slow work. In it
years count as days. The one thing
which Americans have to guard
against In connection with their ex
pectations of Philippine development
is impatience.
The sultan of Turkey is also In dan
ger of having trouble with the Iiilly
Masons of his cabinet, who want war
with the United States.
Disposing of Cuba.
IT IS THE news that as a rule
doesn't get into print that Is In
variably the most interesting, ihe
real inside of things, which, from
motives of policy or through lack of
information or other cause, Is withheld
from the mass of newspaper leaders.
Announcement is made in Collier's
Weekly of a department which, so far
as affairs at Washington are concerned,
Is to bo filled with this kind, of news,
collected and collated by a recognized
expert, Mr. Walter Wellman. The Issue
for Dec. 1 contains u specimen instal
ment, and a good bit of It certainly
Is news.
Tor example, apropos of Secretary
Root's recent visit to Cuba, announced
nt the time to bo "for the benefit of his
health," Mr. Wellman tells us: "lie
wanted to see how his Cuban
lirogi amine was coming along, for
tho administration lias a Cuban
.programme, worked out In prin
ciple and detail, and Mr. Hoot
is tho father of it. The .schema
is to induce the Cuban constitutional
convention to do what wo want it to
,'dn, and at the same time to believe
that It Is doing what It wants to do;
'and the scheme Is working very well.
AVhat the administration wants and
Intends to have is this:
"A Cuban republic of limited power:
a Cuban nation that shall bo virtually
sovereign over its domestic, affairs,
but which Internationally shall bo an
American state; a Cuban government
whose foreign relations are to be man
need nt Washington, not nt Havana;
n Cuban republic without the power to
conclude a treaty except through and
,wlth the aid and consent of the UnltPd
; Slates, and therefore a, republic (hat
'cannot become n member of tho family
(f tho nations, but must remain under
the protecting wing of the si eat Amoil
,cau eaglo an autonomous Cuba, as
Canada Is autonomous, but u depend
ency.of tho United Stales as tho Do
minion is a dependency of tho Hrltjsh
empire.
'The fjueer thing ubout this Cuban
piogramme Is that Secrotury Root and
his skillful agent, Governor Wood, have
for a long time been shaping and
moulding to this end, driving slowly
and cautiously, but unerringly, to their
mark; and even at this late day neither
Cuba nor the United Spates appears- to
)ii) more than half aware of what Is ,
going out for both In the Island and
this country publlo men and the jmbllo
proas rontlmie to tnlk of the days
when Cuba Is to be nn Internationally
sovereign power, while tho blunt truth
Is Cuba Is not to bo a sovereign power
lit nil, but n self-governing colony of
the American republic. Thus wo aiv
coining to u true colonial ryetcni faster
than most people are awnro ol."
According to Mr. Wellman, Secretary
ltool has reported to tho President,
as fiovprnot Wood had done before
him, that tho constitutional convention
Ik llltnly to adopt this policy a Its
own, nnd ulso agree to the Ainellcan
requirements that, limitations 'nluill be
placed upon the debt-Incurring power
or the new government, nnd that for
a lime at least the United Slntes shall
by stipulation rrluln possession of the
principal port fortifications or the
island. In this way, and this way only,
tho leading men nf Cuba ere coming
to perceive, can they secure the very
tiling which the United Stntes Inter
vened to give llicm, to wit, a stahk'
und enduring government.
In case, however, the convention bo
'conies obsticperous, "there will,"
writes Mr. AVellmaii, "be no change.
Tho present status v!ll have to con
tinue, und lhl convention 01' another
convention will have to try ng.iln.
President McKlnloy wlM not 'take his
hand off Cubn till ho Is assured poac'j
and order and stability are to follow.
A constitution Unacceptable to him can
neither become operative In Cuba nor
get before tho American congress for
ratification. The president Is muster
of the situation, and the Cubans, under
the gentle tutelage of Governor Wood,
are beginning to sec It."
We hope that Mr. AVellman's pro
phecy shall turn out to be accurate.
It presents the Ideal escape from In
terminable dlflleulty nnd embarrassment.
A call has been issued by the Evan
gelical Alliance to all Christian people
for a world-wide concert of prayer to
usher In tho twentieth century. Special
devotional services oC n preliminary

Missouri's Tax on Mortgages.
T' HK RELIEF, current In many
minds, that wealth in this
country is not paying lis
fair proportion of the tax
burdens has given birth to numerous
propositions toward equalizing mat
ters, and the latest of these arises
for attention in Missouri.
At the last election In thul stale 'an
amendment to the constitution was
voted upon and adopted by an over
whelming majoiity, which provides in
substance that when the assessment
is made for taxation the owner or
real estate shall be assessed onlv on
his equity in the property, while the
amount represented by ihe mortgage
shall be assessed against the mort
gagee und shall be a lion upon his
mortgage. The amendment provides
that "the taxes .so levied shall lie
a lien upon the propel ty and may be
paid by either party to such security.
If paid by the owner of Ihe security,
the tax so levied -lpon tro property
affected thereby shall become part of
tho debt so secured. If the owner of
the property shall pay the tax so
levied on such security, it shall con
stitute a payment thereon and to tho
extenl of slich payment a full din
charge thereof."
Tills amendment received very Utile
attention at the hands of the voters:
it was rushed through and carried with
a hurrah by the debtor class. The
consequences are as might have been
expected. Formerly loans on first class
security were made In Missouri, plenti
fully nt 4t,S per cent, interest and In
cases at as low as per cent. To-day
there isn't a borrower In tho state who
can get a loan In regular business
channels at less than S per cent., and
while this probably represents a tem
porary condition which will wear off,
no man of intelligence can foresee nny
other permament result than that to
tho rate of nterest prevalent in other
states, say 5 per cent., tlid Missouri
borrower, in order to command loans
at all, will hereafter have to agree
to add a per rentage equal to the
average taxes or moie, bringing the
final total rate of Interest up to from
0i to 7 per cent.
With such a rise in interest mt:s
will come nuturally n depression In
farm values. Thus tho owner of un
incumbered real estate, who sets not
even any apparent benefit, will suffer:
and the owner of mortgaged real estate
will simply have to scratch more
gravel and scratch It faster to u;nan
in the position where he was before.
What the consequences will be In liti
gation and confusion have yet to bo
revealed but In all probability they
will be both numerous and expensive.
The aspiration of those who want a
fair deal In life Is entitled to sympathy
and respect; but It will materially ex
pedite Its realization to have a better
general understanding of tho funda
mental truth that no man can lift
himself from poverty to aflluunce by
tugging nt his own bootstraps.
Mr. Teller thinks that the silver
question Is not dead. This Is a belter

Cost of Living Eight Cents a Day
THERE WAS recently a con
siderable discussion as to
the lowest possible figure to
which the dally cost of food
necessary to nourish properly an aver
ago man could he reduced, President
Harper of tho Chicago university start
lug it by tho assertion that 15 cents a,
day was ample. In a recent Ibsuu of
tho Bavunnah News appears a contri
bution which revives this Interesting
topic by describing what hus been done
In tho way of cheap living by the
BoclallBt colony of Rusklnltes blttmted
a short distance from Wnycross, Gn.
According to mis' authority tho act
ual qost per capita In this colony I
less than S cents a day. Everything
they consume Is bought by wliWttale In
largo quantities, and In cooked In the
community kitchen. In the commun
ity dining room tables arc sat for ,100
people. Those who do not wish to eat
with the crowd nro given tho privilege
or purchasing from company stores and
cooking It nt home. When vegetables
tiro scarce these people are allowed 7
cents per capita a dny; that Is, 7 cents
for each person, big, little, old, vounx,
sick or well. When vegetables nru
plentiful the cash allowance Is only 5
cents. As tho community raises Its
own vegetables, the approximate cost
is only about 2 cents per capita, a day,
making the actual cost of living at
Itusktn from 7 to n cents a day for
each man, woman and child.
The correspondent ot the News thus
describes a visit to tho community din
ing room: "In a lurgetrooni, "t feet
wide and ISO feet long, we see nnirlv
,.100 men, women und children seated at
long tables. Breakfast Is our first
meal. It Is well prepaied, savory and
daintily served. Wc make a whole
some meal on light bread furnished by
the colony baker, butter, Georgia syrup,
oatmeal, Irish pgtatnes, milk, cereal,
coffee and sugar. Sometimes we have
fried mush, with fruits and Jellies. Our
dinner generally viules according to the
fcason. Meat only comes to the table
twice a week. The bill of fare usually
consists of rice or peas, beans or maca
roni, some two or more of these;
Georgia syrup, 'beets, tomatoes, egg
plants, potatoes, soup, bread and cereal
coffee cereal coffee is made by the
colonists as one of their main indus
tries. For slipper cheese In some form,
lemonade, cake, rice or 'beans, sugar,
grits, mush, fried potatoes, cold tea.
and bread. Tho person visiting Rtiskln
and taking his meals In the community
dining room will have the above bill of
fare placed before him. with slight
variations. He will llnil that It Is not
only possible, but practicable, for peo
ple to live at n cost ot from 7 to 9 cents
a day per capita. It is not merely ex
isting, but the meals are wholesome,
satisfying nnd well prepared."
There Is little doubt that the Ameri
can people as a class have much yet to
learn In the direction of household
economies. The opinion seems to be
well founded thutlln their table wastes
they are the most extravagant people
on the fnce of the erirth. The time Is
coming when a closer study of econo
mies will be forced upon them.

PRAISING OUR SUPREME COURT
From Hie Toronto Cilobe.
The Supreme court of the Culled Mates has
been called the great mechanism of piociastina
tlun. Nine out of ten cases that are taken
there are said to be so taken only for purposes
of delay. A speedy healing may be had by
counsel agreeing to foiego argument, merely
submitting the case on briefs, but four years
usually elapse between the Ming of a case ami
the delivery of judgment. The difficulty ap
pears to be that the couit has more woik than
It can do If It is to be done in the thorough
manner prescribed by its nile.
o
In settling its judgments the Supreme couit
of the United Slates li.es adopted a mode of pio
ceduie diflcient from the practice of appellate
courts in England and Canada. It lefusrs to
allow prcssuie of business to In any way impair
the deliberation of its movements, no doubt
icasonlng that if the people desire greater fpeed
they can get it by limiting the classes of caes
that may be taken to the Supreme courl, or by
enlarging the couit and constituting it in sepi
liile divisions whenever oicaslon may require.
At present there ale nine fudges, five of whmri
constitute a quorum. The couit sits si monllui
out of each jear, and during that time every
judge is supposed to be in constant attendance,
the only excuse recognized being illness, Eveiy
Saturday during the term the cases tint hive
been heaid during the week are discussed by Ihe
judges, and a otc taken, beginning with the
junior judge and amending to the chief justice.
The Judgment ts Killed by a majority vote, and
the chief justice then assigns all the cases that
have been discussed each to some one member
of tho couit for re-caminatlon, taking care to
diiitiibute them according to the rccognled spe
cialties of the judges. Each Judge tu whom a
cao has thus been assigned wiiles his opinion.
I'linter's proofs of this oin then dlstilbuted to
all the justices, who exercise the gieatest free
dom of ciiticlsui, not only ot the legal pilmlples
enunciated, but of the grammatical construction,
ami even ot the punctuation. The prools thus
corrected, am sent back to the author, who re
vlscs his own opinion in the light of the sug
gestions received. It is then discussed and clili
cUcd at the next meeting of the judges for con
sultation, and finally settled as icpresenllng the
united opinion of the whole court. 'Occ.iiionall.ij
though not otten, one of the judges will dissent,
Tho aim of all this painstaking labor is, of
couisc, to nettle and establish tho law, am) one
can easily understand that vvoik so done by a
bene li of tho ablest lawjers In a cuuntiy of
great lawjeu is worTs well done.
o
In our own appellate coin Is, on (he other
hand, the aim would appear to be lather to pie
servc ilia Individuality of tho Judges than to
airivo at a statement of the law- representing
tbilr milled leiv. Indeed, It U not an un
common thing In our comts to get as many
opinions as there am Judges. Tho icult is that
Iho law is left unsettled, and the impression Is
given to tho publlo that the law of the cnuntiy
aic mere matters of opinion. We vendue lo
llllnk that the admlnlsliatlon of law in this
piuvincc would bo vastly luipiovcd by tba adop
tion by our appellate courts of the hjstein of
piepailng Judgments in vogue in the United
