Kntered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter.

The Filipinos What shall we do about the Philippines? Have you pondered over that question? President Wilson has, and so also, between trips, Secretary Bryan. That which was a "dominant issue" in a former campaign, is by no means a dead issue yet. On the surface it appears that the President intends to have a hand in settling the matter himself. He sent over to hold down the ticklish job of governor-general a young Tammany fledgling with very little administrative experience; just the man, New York papers are cruel enough to say, to serve as a figure-head while the President does the actual work of running things. However that may be, one thing is certain, no one can become very dogmatic about the Philippine question. It's too tangled up. At present writing the Jones bill is once more before Congress. This passed the House last year, but got side-tracked before adjournment. It is claimed as "the administration's measure" by some, but this is open to doubt. The significance of the Jones bill lies in its advocacy of independence for the islands in eight years. If this bill really is the administration's measure the Democrats have permitted their anti-imperialism to lead them to extremes. Nn informed critic of the Filipino situation has yet advocated independence for that mixed people. Out of 235,000 "Christians" on the island, supposed to represent the intelligent and leading class, only 3 per cent are literate enough to qualify for the franchise. The well posted Dean Worcester, secretary of the interior, for the islands, asserts that slavery exists everywhere, "even in Manila." In territory adjacent to the Negritos and Eougots he declares it a "common thing to obtain children by capture or purchase and to hold them as slaves, selling them to others whenever it proves financially advantageous to do so." And peonage, next thing to slavery, "is so widespread that it must be called general." Somewhat of a jolt to learn that the American flag has been flying over slavery for twelve years ! Cautious Journals have not hesitated to characterize the cry for independence set up by certain Filipino classes as being the subterfuge whereby a few clever schemers among big landlords may be able to seize control of the government in order to legalize slavery. It is certain that the large majority of the islanders themselves not only do not ask for

independence but dread it. They are wholly unfit for self government and would ruin themselves with it were they to possess it. The present generation of them are weak, flat chested, dull persons who have little initiative, little ability and little stamnia: they have shown scarcely any ability as a whole in business, education, politics or art. Even the petty commercial houses of the islands are owned and operated by Chinese. To impose the responsibilities of independence after so brief a period on a people dependent from time immemorial on others for their religion, their education, their business, and even their sports, would be to work an injustice too colossal quickly to be comprehended. It would be extremely desirable for the Americans to continue their good work until the present generation of youngsters, playing base-ball and developing chests and brains with American athletics and schools, are grown up and able to assume control. So far, our record is one not to be ashamed of even if not ideal. We have worked nothing short of miracles in establishing sanitation among a people born, and reared, and housed, and fed, and buried in dirt. Asiatic cholera has been eliminated, 40,000 cases per year of 3mall-pox has been decreased to a few hundreds, 30,000 lepers reduced to 3,000, and malaria almost extinguished. Nothing could be more desirable than to keep up this splendid work for another generation at least. Unordained Missionaries Owen Johnson, the novelist, recently returned from an extended trip through Italy. Italy is chock full of interest, especially to a literary man, but it seems the thing which most impressed him was the transformation being wrought in the old country by returned emigrants. "Very few of us here in America," Mr. Johnson writes, "realize that from 500,000 to 600,000 Italians return to their own country each year from this country. Tuccini showed me in the little place where he lives, Torre del Lago, two classes of dwellings. One consisted of hovels. .The 'other was composed of forty or fifty neat stone houses, beautifully kept up, and prosperous looking. He pointed to these last. 'That is what you do for us,' he said. 'American money has built every one of those houses.' In southern Italy this improvement is even more noticeable." If that is what our Italian immigrant friends are doing with their fruit wagon profits we wish them all the prosperity going.

Nineteenth Century Heroes Last month the International Medical Congress, representing the world's therapeutic science, met in London. Just twenty years before the :ame congress met there with Pasteur, Vir--h'v-Lister and Koch present. It is probable no one a oof ever before covered at one time four men who have done so much to bless and help the world as these. Through their efforts millions of lives have been saved and measureless suffering averted. As time goes on it is coming more and more to be seen as Lecky said, that sanitation and the cure of disease are the achievements' of the Nineteenth century destined to give her a place among the ages. If this is true we may rejoice that the pendulum of popular esteem and adulation is swinging away from the killer to the savior. No khaki clad soldier on the field today runs more risks than did Koch or Pasteur every day they worked in their laboratories and no toil is more exacting or arduous.

PANAMA CANAL QUAKES

From the beKiiiniriK of the construction of the Panama canal, part of it crossing the isthmus more than eighty feet above the sea level, there have been all sorts of discussions and wonderments as to what would happen to such a "ladder of locks" tossed about by earthquake shocks. On the Pacific coast of North and Central and South America earthquakes vary their activities from swinging pictures on the walls to shaking down a large part of the business section of San Francisco, and from sliding houses into the sea to hurling ships upon the sides of mountains thousands of miles further south. The whole scheme of the existing Panama canal depends upon massive locks reared high on their foundations and upon water of immeasurable power likewise penned up there in the air to float anything from tugboats to battleships from sea to sea. It takes no vivid imagination to think what might happen if an earthquake tore out the massive dams and tossed the "ladders of locks" from Gatun, say, to the ocean. It may be that the earthquake which rocked the Isthmus of Panama on Wednesday evening was not so severe as the reports have made it put. If it was, there is testimony in the fact to the magnificent engineering work which has been done, on this colossal project by Colonel Goethals and his staff. If the severity of the shock was exaggerated in the re'ports there still remains the satisfaction that the job has been made reasonably earthquake-proof for there doesn't seem to be any doubt that at least the earthquake shocks were the severest ever known in Panama.

HURTY TALKS ON TYPHOID EPIDEMIC

THE SMILE OF A WOMAN

The smile of a woman it brings back the sun

When shadows drift down and the daylight is done! The smile of a woman it lifts and it leads The heart that is heavy, the spirit that bleeds! The smile of a woman in worlds that are dight With garments of winter, wind-driven and white, Dawns down the dark valleys and over the hills Till spring laughs again on the lips of the rills, And summer's soft morning comes back to the land With a rose in its hair and a bloom in its hand! The smile of a woman it brings to the earth The music of morn on the red lips of mirth, Tho hope and the joy and the dreaming of rest Where Love holds a little one's face on her breast! The Bentztown Bard.

"We are engaged in one long battle against ignorance and prejudice," said Dr. J. X. Hurty to a Palladium .representative yesterday. "The worst enemy to public health is the public itself. After we have toiled to unearth the real causes of some epidemic we are usually blocked by the very people we are trying to help. To illustrate: A few days ago I made a trip into a certain county and discovered a number of cases of a peculiar disease which preys on school children. We examined twenty-one dinner baskets and discovered nineteen of them insufficiently supplied. "Those same nineteen children, a further examination revealed, were all suffering from malnutrition. Rut after we had made the fact known and warned the parents against the danger there children were in from trachoma and other maladies, the officials and newspapers jumped on us and abused us roundly. Publicity Needed. "The bipeest factor just now in our public health campaign is publicity. I wish every paper in the state would undertake a well organized and carefully directed campaign to secure better public health conditions. In Indiana were are paying annually millions of dollars and thousands of lives as a penalty for oiir carelessness, our prejudice and our ignorance. "We are rapidly heading toward an era of preventive medicine. There is really no such thing as cure. A treatment may arrest the progress of a disease, but can not restore the original healthy conditions. How foolish it Is for us to pay so much money and spend so much time trying to rescue people from the diseases. Why not devote more money and more time making it unnecessary for them to contract disease in the first place? "People as a whole pay more attention to the health of hogs and chickens than to human beings I find many farmers borrowing money in order to secure the last thing in caring for his cattle, while refusing to spend a cent to make his family healthier or his home more sanitary. Speaks for Babies. "What we- need most of all in Indiana is a first-class crop of babies. That beats the corn crop or the pig crop! When we devote as much attention to the ways and means of raising our own human breeding level we can begin to' talk about conservation of natural resources. Uncle Sam has more tied up in the present generation of babies than in any other thing the whole country over. "Thats' one reason I am so much in favor of the tuberculin test of all dairy cattle. It's a measure to protect our babies, qur most valuable crop. So long as our children have to be raised on tuberculous milk we will have them deformed with glandular and joint tuberculosis and will lose them by many other forms of consumption." Dr. Hurty fell into a reminiscent mood and recalled having in his possession a short time ago an account

I in a Richmond paper of a speech his

tatner made in Richmond before his election as superintendent of schools. "My father had the nerve," said the doctor, "to advocate in 1850 free education in public schools. You should have seen the scoring he received in that paper. They called him a visionary and a quack, and poked unmerciful sarcasm at him because of hia 'chimerical scheme.' "

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

"The Merry Burlesquers." Barely has a musical comedy, or burlesque been presented here which can be compared with "The Merry Bur lesquers," the attraction which comes to the Gennett theatre Saturday matinee and night Oct. 11. The company is an exceptionally strong one, headed by that popular and well known German comedian, Richy W. Craig, who is the author and producer of the comedy which he is presenting and his supporting company include such people as Dorothy Blodgett, from the Broadway Theatre company of Lew Fields, who is noted for her singing powers. Frank Collins, the Irish comedian of note; then Babe Labelle, known the world over as the Fleet ric Soubrette, always on the jump. Miss Corinne De Forest, who has made quite a hit with her French impersonations, Billy Kline, funny tramp comedian, and beautiful chorus of petite young ladies, who are bedecked in costumes very becoming to their pretty faces.

The Confession. Direct from a most successful run at the Bijou theatre. New York, comes James Hallack Reid's powerful drama.
