The portion of the president's mes sage devoted to the Philippine Islands has a note of anxiety in it. The same solicitude Is detected in the annual report of the secretary of war. Both documents recognize the benefits that America has conferred upon these is land possessions both detect the pos sibility that all these efforts may have a disappointing result. Both show the way to making the American ad ministration of the Philippine Islands permanent success. This government has given to the islands the blessing of peace. It was deplorably necessary that peace could only come through organized warfare. For many years large parts of the archipelago had been in chronic in surrection against the Spanish rule. Many tribes were In continuous hos tility to one another. There could, as ir seemed to many of the best men, be no peace without warfare of a civiliz ed people against an uncivilized, in the interest. of public order. Except for sporadic outbreaks of the nature of banditti raids, peace has become es tablished and even such outbreaks are less and less frequent. In the fight ing, outrages have doubtless been com mitted by American soldiers/ Out rages are always committed in war, by both sides. The most unfortunate incidents have been due to the in tractibiHty ofi the natives themselves. Peace has come instead of the inces sant fighting of natives against Span iards, and of native tribes with one an other. It is this nation which has given peace to the Philippines, but by ways which, however, necessary, have left bitter feelings. These can be al layed and the subjects of this nation can be worn into friendship only by legislation on the part of congress that Piles MI In order to prove to you that Dr. A. W.

FOUT PORTERFIELO '"T A& rSM {-c LK* shall assure them that the Ujjdted States is governing them not for own good but for theirs. America has saved great suffering and many deaths by its suppression of cholera. What might have been a terrible pestilence in Manila and from Manila through a large part of the islands last summer was averted by the skill and energy of the health au thorities, and that benefit is beyond any estimate. As long as this na tlou controls the islands that fearful plague of the tropics will be banish ed. The lands occupied by the friars have been turned to public use, by a skillful diplomacy that allowed no breach with the Catholic church. A host of teachers has been sent fror» this country and a public school sys tem has been founded. Wagon roads have been improved and railroads be gun. The oppressive exactions of the Spanish rule have ceased. Represen tative government has been inaugurat ed, and the first legislature is to meet next spring, unless conditions shall make it absolutely impossible. But even against all this the fact stands that, in the words of Secretary Taft, prosperity has been absent from the islands throughout the period of Amer ican occupation. "A land ground down by poverty, -with its industries de pressed, is not likely to be grateful. A hungry man does not give thanks for education or tranquillity nor for any efforts in his behalf which leave him hungry. If," to quote the president, "the nation owes no more imperative duty to itself and mankind than the duty of managing the affairs of all the islands under the American flag so as to make it evident that it is in every way to their advantage that the flag should flv over them," then it is this ^nation's duty to do its utmost to pro» mote prosperity in the Philippines. If there is laxity, here, then ail other gifts will be as the giving of A Stone in stead of bread. The administrative branch of the government has done much for the is lands. The legislative branch has done little. The reason for this differ ence is evident. The administration and Its representatives in the Phil ippines have acted in independence of American commercial interests. The legislators at Washington have had commercial Interests in mind in all their Philippine legislation. Nor have these Interests been those of the American people generally, but of special combinations. It is due to such an influence that the export duty on hemp ls not. collected whan' thq hemp is sent to American rope mahu facturies. It is due to such Interests that Philippine products are subject ed in this country to duties which de press the industries of the Islands. This is done, in great part, in thfe in terest of one of the most detestable and mischievous "combinations that curse this land, the sugar trust. If America is to be saved the mortifica tion of eventually yielding up the is lands to Japan, and a strong native preference for Japan would prove in the long run impossible for this na tion to hold out against, or find itself still more humiliated by its failure, the president's recommendation should be acted upon^ "I most earnestly hope," he declared, "that the bill to provide a lower tariff or else absolute free trade in Philippine products, may be come a law. No harm will come to any American industry. Let us see to it that they are given free access to our markets." NEW WALKER THEATR*. House at Winnipeg Opened After a Long Delay. The new Walker Theatre in Winni peg has at last been opened. It is the most beautiful as well as costly play house in all Canada. It was expected that the house would be in readiness for the opening of the season and many companies were booked for that place which were compelled to cancel their Winnipeg dates because a strike and other unforeseen delays prevented the opening until Tuesday evening by the In Town Co. The house belongs to C. P. Walker, who is a member of the firm of Walker Bros. & Hardy of B^argo. The building will cost when completed about $275,000, and has ev ery possible modern convenience and comfort. A system of ventilation Is installed which is found in no other theatre in the west. It takes the fresh air into the basement where it is heat ed and purified and forced into the theatre proper through apertures im mediately beneath the seats. A large far^ is used in the ventilators at the roof to draw out ,the foul air. The house has its own lighting plant, and its stage is said to be the most bril liantly lighted of any one in the coun try. The accoustics are so perfect that every word can be heard perfectly in every part of the building. The seat ing capacity Is 2,200, and every seat is fo arranged that there is abundance of room for the occupant. ,Word is expected within a few days of a reconciliation after long es trangement between .. Ballington Boc^th of the Volunteers of America and his father. General William Booth, head* of the Salvation Army. Com mander and Mrs. Ballington Booth are now at sea on their way to England. General Booth is in feeble health and is understood to have expressed a wish to see his son before he dies. It is almost ten years since his father and son became estranged. Mem htrs of the family took sides private lv, but openly they supported their «"ther. 1 THE FAHGO FORUM "AND DAILY REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 23, 1906 its Wise and Otherwise When it comes to pastmasters in the game commonly called financiering, Chief of Police Wade occupies a seat and should be given the countersign and password which would make him eligible to a seat on the top row with the Rockefellers, Goulds, "Vanderbilts and the Morgans and others, for he has the instincts which all shrewd financiers are blessed with. The public has heard much about a certain dog which made its escape from its owner, who was enroute from Grand Forks to Kansas City. The dog in question, which is known to every reader by reason of the many references made to it, was apprehend ed by Captain of Police Dahlgren. The captain has been entertaining the dog at his house, waiting for the owner to send forthwith the charges of ex pressage and, incidentally, the charges of feeding and caring for the canine. But the said owner has failed to re mit and Captain Dahlgren has been holding Chief Wade liable for the amount of board and lodging he is cliafrging for the canine. The amount due up to last night amounted to $7.25 and it was up to the chief to con trive a scheme whereby he could evade the payment of the amount, as he ordered the captain to hold the dog awaiting instructions. Last night the climax was reached when Captain Dahlgren brought the dog down to the police station and de manded that the chief pay him for the care and feeding of the* animal. It required but a few minutes for the apt superintendent of the police de partment to concoct a scheme. Final ly he arrived at one and handed it to Dahlgren before the latter could think it over. "Captain, you have kept the dog at your house for over four weeks now, and hasn't your wife become attached to the animal?" said the chief. The captain admitted that his wife had, and that she regretted to have to give It Up. "Well," said the chief, "now I tell you what you do. You haven't bought her a Christmas present as yet, have you?" No," came the reply. "Well, you take the dog home with you again and tell your wife that you arranged to give her the dog and make her a Christmas present of it, and I'll bet that she will be as tickled as though you presented her with a set of furs or a diamond ring." "I never thought of that," said the captain, "and that is a good scheme." Captain Dahlgren then said that if the chief would release the dog to him he would release his claim for board and lodging held against the canine, and the deal was consum mated. /After this was effected the chief uafcnt to another phone in one of the ijlher offices of the city hall and called ifp Mrs. Dahlgren. He told her over tlSe phone that he wanted to thake h^r a Christmas present. The chief stated that he learned through her husband that she was very fond of the dog that had been apprehended and held here for its owner to send after, and that because of her fondness for the dog, he had given the dog to her husband for him to bring to her as a Christmas gift. Mrs. Dahlgren showered the chief with thanks over the telephone and the runaway canine will hereafter have a good, comfoi*table home in North Dakota instead of Missouri. One day more to finish up that Christmas shopping and then it will be over for another year. About the latest feminine ornament —and too late for Christmas, indeed, except in the most expensive styles— is the glove monogram. This is the monogram of the wearer done in gold and worn on the back of the left glove just below the wrist. It should be large enough to be decorative, but should not be larger than a silver dol lar. It is said to be particularly /pleasing to those who have taken up the fashion, because if of sufficient size, makes the hand look smaller. When too small it has the opposite effect, however. Properly mounted, it is on a pin so that it can be taken off if desired. Largest line of framed pictures In the state. McClane's art store. Low Priced Atlas.

SAM MATHEWS,', A. L. LOOMIS. ,. AKHLUK B. LEFCT, v V*V^ v v The Cough of Consumption BEST, LIGHTS FOR A TRAIN. Electricity Perfected, Though Kero sene Lamps Are Used Mostly. New York Tribune: One of the most difficult problems that confront the builder of railroad cars is that of equipping them with proper illumina tion. Recent investigation shows that the progress made in the lighting of railway cars is considerably behind that made in the interior illumination of buildings. Figures show that only about 10 per cent of the passenger cars on the railways of this country use gas and electric lights, while the remainder are illuminated by smoky kerosene lamps. Thomas Dickson, a conductor, fur nished penny candles at his own ex pense. For many years candles contin ued to be the only source of light, and then they were superceded by sperm oil and finally by kerosene. Oil lights have continued to have the preference, inventors say, because they can be in stalled cheaply and their operation costs far less than any other means of Illumination. Within the last few years gas has become a strong factor in the light ing of trains. More recently acety lene, which was discovered in 1886 by Edmund Davy, has entered this field as a luminant. Arguments advanced by the users of acetylene are that there is no danger of it exploding in a railroad wreck that it gives a better light than the ordinary gas and that it requires no generators, which consequently makes it more dependable. One of the chief items to be consid ered in the lighting of railway trains is the factor of safety. With the kero sene lighting system there is a great danger of fire in a wreck, with the ordinary gas there is a probability of explosion, and fire, and with the in candescent lamp the light is liable to fail should the train be stalled for any considerable length of time. In ventors, however, are directing their attention' to the last-named system, and it is rapidly receiving universal adoption, despite its high cost of in stallation and maintenance.

New York Sun: There is much unconscious cant about the duty and dignity of labor. Those who cant it have forgotten the unsavory origin of work. Work is a memorial and re sult of sin, an inferior condition to which we all fell when Adam blamed dear Eve for his indiscretions. The holy, stainless and original condition was repose, enjoyment, Adam found a holiday world. The old rascal changed it Into a workday world. Work for work's sake is a supersti tion an-d a delusion. The best that can be said for it is that it perpetu ates a great mistake. If it has be come almost a law of the human race why should anybody go into raptures over it? Gravitation is a good deal more impressive and a natural law. Does anybody feel called, upon to thank God for gravitation when a brick hits him? .« O. J. doLENDRECia, Vice President.

The participants were the Misses Loit wood, Kingsley, Ashelman, Edgar, Carr, Anderson, Bohnsack, Champine, Arens, Newman and Messrs Berge and Malioy. The Conservatory Glee club delight* ed the audience at the close of the programme by singing a beautiful ar rangement of Sailing. The Glee club members are as follows: Misses Anderson, Hall, Wilson, Sldnam, Feld kirchner, Nichols, Kuhfield, Swefet, Duff, Champine, Nelson, Hanson and Mrs. Graham. This recital finishes the fall term and makes the fourteenth recital given this fall by the faculty and students of the conservatory not including the two recitals by the ar tists of international fame, Madame Hellstrom, the great Swedish prima donna, and Anton Hekking, the world's greatest cellist, which the ceu» servatory had here under its auspices.
