Filipinos Do Not Wnnt IndependenceGen BCIIWAN says In his Interesting letter

on conditions In the Philippines that theeducated natives havo no faith In thefitness of their people toand for the most parr Americanrule and that the great muss of the peas-

antry tleslro American or any otherwill give them peace and order A

pArt of both classes however nroafraid openly to declare In favor of Ameri-

can thoy know that tho In-

surgent leaders with a small follow-

ing have In past Inflicted and mayagain visit the barbarous crueltiesupon men and women whofall Into their hands

This statement wholly In line with thntof President SomriiMAN in his recentaddress before tho American GeographicalSociety declared that the Filipinos nevernaked for independence from Spain butpresented grievnnres demanded redressand that since the Mauds passed Into ourhands Independence has been the shibbolethmerely of n few ambitious leaders whilethe masses tired of war crave only peaceand thn aspirations of the most Intelligentclass will be satisfied with religious libertycivil rights and such extension of thofranchise as the people are capable ofexercising

Tlieto vf ws nre further confirmed by theable correspondent In the Philippines of thoKrcninp Ifift who said in a letter whichthat newspaper printed on March 10 last

The nifTlciiltles of AntiTrust Legis-lation

Every polltlcnl which candi-date In tho field at the Presidential electionthis year wilt havo something to say in Itsplatform against trusts Timof defining the precise thing whichIt Is Intended tn denounce makes on-

nntitrust plunk safe enough for anybodyNo one tan sny that It will lend toward anyparticular nwthod of procedure In dealingwith the commercial combinations whichare the objects of ntrtiek trust Is a hadthing Into It Is tho substaticoof the politicians reasoning on tho subject

In thn rictiit debate In the Senate onArmy Appropriation lull Mr UtiitiiY ofArkansas proposed nn amendment pro-

viding that In making purchases for theCommissary Departmentbo given nil other things including priceand quality bilng to those producersmanufacturers merchants and dealers whoare not members of or In anyway connectedwith any trust or combine formed to

manufacture or sell the articlesWhich are lining contracted for and pur-

chased by the Commissary Pepartmrtit forthe military service The debate whichfollowed showed how crude anti illdtillicdare the ideas of represontniivn men in thonational legislature In regard to the tritecharacter of trusts

Wr llrnitv hlm elf may have an accuratepicture In his own mind of what constitutesn nit but when Invited to tell theby Mr Purr of Connieiieut mid Mr-

The trouble with all these matters soldthe Senator from Nevada In that you

thn Rood with the evIl I said In thobeiflnlnjf that the difficulty vnn In drawingthii proper line I havo never been able todo It nnd nobody ha been able todn itTho only remedy that I have ever scent thatwould be effective In conietltloii W-

Hhould pass no law giving oxcluslvo privlloge comfmlltlon bo untrammelled anda free people will soon rid themselves to aRreut extent of triwU

After Senator InotTon of Vermont hadpointed out that tho law now limits the purohofllnif oflloor to buying Army suppliesfrom the lowest bidder and had Intimatedthat Mr HEHIIVB purpose In offrrlng thoamendment won merely to place the Repub-

licans at a disadvantage becaiwo they didnot belIeve that could thus be exter-

minated the proposition was rejected byof 20 nayn to 18 yens

It Hhould bo noted that in the courso of

th debato Senator SEWKII of Now Jerseyhad tlin temerity to say a Rood word Infavor of two of the greatest trade combi-

nation now In exUtoiice tho Standard Oil

Company and the Sugar Trust The Stand-

ard Oil Cotn any ttld tho General haslit up tho world at a cheaper than ItspredecoBdorn ever did nnd ooalledSugar Trust cheapened the price ofsugar ovary day since tho combination andhM been a benefit to tho wholo world andparticularly to the United fitatee

The difficulty of dealing with great tradecombinations by legislation Is appreciatedin quarters where such breadth of viewmight hardly be expected liven Much aHorUHstlo leader as KUORNR V DRIIS refusesto Join In tho howl at the Republican partyfor not making and enforcing moro anti-

trust laws In a recent Interview at Cleve-

land ho Is quoted as sajingMuch bus raid against the Republican

Invisible for that at alt at least not directly ThisCieit concentration li but A natural step In the prog-

ress of efenu hut It raltht perhapi hafe been

retarded to some eitent by lef IMMIon mlf hi aswell legislate against the force of gravity That therewill be concentration Is certain question 11

whether It will be controlled by a few Indlf or

and for the bsnetlt of the people at large

If anything Is attempted however In thoway of lawmaking by Congrehi or in anyState against the trusts tho greatest onrowill have to b tuken to avoid putting downthe In endeavoring to putt down fluehad A prccUo definition of tho tradecombination which U to he deemedunlawful will bo essential That defini-tion must not include partnerships orcorporations deslifned to malto money Intho ordinary methods that have been sanc

for years by tho customs of tho mercommunity Tho element which is

to constitute Illegality must be distinctlyIndicated Thla can be done In a statuteIf tho statute is drawn with sufllclenteuro It was done In a Judicial tieddon when tho courts of thU State dis-

pany for Joining tho Sugar Trust on thoground that it was n violation of law for amanufacturing corporation to enter Into npartnership rite only effective legislationngubiiit trusts will bo found In tho enact-ment of some simple rule like this capable-of comparatively easy enforcement-

In dealing with this subject Congress willhave to take caro whom It hilts Them Isdanger lest It tread on tho toes of tho farm-er There WILl organized recently at Abilenetilt Knights of thu Soil Each lodge Iscalled n Head Farm nnd Is presided over bya Head Tanner Tim purposes of tho or-

The Transformation of Methodismlimo abolition of tho system of Itinerancy-

by tho Methodist General Conference onWednesday affords another among many

the very great change whichhilLs coma over Methodism of recent years

Following time of the ApostlesWKSIIIY IU founder travelled aboutpreaching his doctrines anti would con

no one place longer titan a fewdays Lay preachers commissioned by himas helpers wore tilso appointed to cir-

cuits In the early of this countrythnt Itinerancy gave Methodism a greatndvitrtago over the religious denomina-tions with stationary pastors and coneminently It rapidly developed into the mostnumerous of the Protestant launches

ever know has all the talents which areneedful for beginning continuing and per-fecting tho work of grace In a whole con-

gregation That is the Methodist preachcrH worn organized as missionaries

after flit plan of tho special religiousorder of preaching monks the inisoloners of the Itniuun Catholic Church

This system of the itinerancy gave toMellmdUm a distinctive feature In Protes-tantism anti contributed essentially to Itsprogress In this country moro especiallyAs the system developed along with thogrowth in population tho length of hate for-

a preacher to remain in the same chargewits gradually extended from six months toono year to two years to three years nndfinally In isss to live ywirs and now bytho decision of the Oeneral Conference onWednesday tilt time limit Is abolished alto-gether Tho llishop presiding over localconferemo will Hill mako the appoint-ments annually hut new nile leavesto Ills discretion tho matter of n transferand permits tho retention of pastors bychurches desirous of keeping thorn Howit will work practically Is problematicalIn tho Bishops Address to tho GeneralConference they reported thntof twelve years under the last exteaslon ofthe limit from three to five years hadshown that actually the average duration-of tho pastoral term hail been Increased

slightly If at nil and practicen small proportion of our pastors

remain In tho sam charge for five yearsTlin Bishops advised therefore either a j

return to the three years limit or theremoval of the time limit altogether

Army Contract SurgeonsA bill relief of tho acting assistant

surgeons of the Army has been IntroducedInto the Senate by Mr Foi KFn anti Is nowbefore the Committed on Military Affairs

The acting assistant surgeon g ncnillvcalled contract surgeons were employedduring the Spanish war and miny of themare still employed In the Philippines and atposts In this country These surgeons arehired by thn month at tho rate of 100

they wear Army uniform without anybadge or Indication of rank anti theyperform all tho duties that regular Hur-

ceons at larger salaries Accord-ing to tilt preamblo of Mr FOIIAKKitshuh their contracts provided for quartersand presumably for commutation ofquarters when lovermncnt quarters worenot furnished as well as for pay while onleave of absence either sick or ordinaryhut nil of these allowances have been deniedby tho Comptroller of tho Treasury

Another loss tangible hut none the lessIrritating grievance Is that owing to thofact that contract surgeon are not com-missioned or even In the Army they arenot eligible to membership In the LoyalLegion or oven In the Grand Army not tospeak of the societies sprung from theSpanish war Senator FOKAREH alms toremedy these hardships

The bill provides that hereafter nil contract surgeons shall have the allowancesnail privileges of Frt I leutenants exceptthe pity which shall continue toa month It provides further that actingassistant surgeons appointed since May I

188 shall be paid for sick leave and forordinary leave not to exceed thirty days Ineach year of service arid gives them theright to file claims for back pay for suchperiods of leave for commutation ofquarters nnd for travel pay and allow-ances which may have been withheldfrom or not paid to theta

Other sections provide that acting as-

sistant surgeons appointed since May 1

1K b commissioned ns First Lieuten-ants the commissions to expire when theyare discharged honorably those who haveserved a year to havo their commissionsdatud from the expiration of their firstyears service and on passing a physicalexamination to bo commissionedafter two Kxtra pay Is al-

of the 1nlted Htiites mind travel pay andallowances provided Tho lull gives tocontract surgeons preference for appoint-ment In the Medical Corps of tho Army antithn Navy and in thn Hospital Ser-

vice and opens to them the National Homesfor Disabled Volunteer Soldiers

Tho bill IK very complete anal appears toto do full justice to the acting as lstantsurgeons Theso medical men have proventheir value In the field In Cuba Porto Ulcoand the Philippines as well ns at tutu fortsanti of this country They havo

Then the other black workmen encouragedby th sueo n of their comrades abandoned theplantations and factories nnd asked the Gov-

ernor to glvo them work Thoy would not lis-
