Views Have Xot Changed, but Be
minds It that Question I for Con
jrrcss.
Taft formally opened the Philippine
assembly In the National theater at
11:15 Wednesday morning In the pres
ence of a large crowd of people.
In his opening address Mr. Taft de
cTared that his views announced two
years ago regarding the Independence
of the Philippine people were un
changed. He did not believe that they
would be fitted to guvern themselves
for at least a generation, but he added
that the matter was entirely In the
hands of congress. The secretary de
nied emphatically that the United
tates had any intention of disposing
of the islands; said he had absolute
confidence in the Filipinos; denied
that he was disappointed at their in
ability to legislate conservatively and
asserted his belief that he felt their
responsibility and acknowledged the
necessity of supporting Jhe American
government.
At the cose of his arrdess Mr. Taft
formally called the assembly tp order.
A short prayer was then read by the
only native Catholic bishop in thd
island.
The assembly then took a recess un
til 5 o'clock Wednesday aftertioon. Up
on reassembling at that hour the first
business was the selection of a presi
dent, and Sergio Osmena, nationalist,
who formerly was governor of the isl
and of Cebu, was chosen. Senor Os
mena is a young man and had no part
in the revolution. He Is held in higlj
esteem by the government and his own
people.

An Alarming Condition in the Kustcm
States.
.Soil experts in the agricultural de
partment at Washington will devoto
much of their time for months to come
to the subject of deserted farms. Ev
ery visitor to the New England states
'in the last few years has been impress
ed with the large number of abandon
ed farms. They greet one everywhere
he goes.
In the economic value destroyed, the
radical reduction in the supporting
power of agriculture and in the direct
loss to the commonwealth, the aban
donment of land once under cultiva
tion has forced itself upon the atten
tion of publicists.
In the effort to interest the country
in the movement and Justify an appro
priation for experiments the agricul
tural department will send a corps of
experts, headed by William J. Spill
man, chief of the bureau of plant In
dustry, to a meeting which has been
called for next week in Syracuse, N. Y.

scribed an accidental visit to a revival
meeting on the prtlrle, where he was
converted. He told of his decision to
preach the gospel and the success
which had attended his efforts as a
Metrodlst evangelist, and at last the

Court Nullifies Port of Mayor's Street
Cor Franchises. .
Judge Lawrence, of the common
pleas court of Cleveland, O., rendered
a decision Tuesday afternoon, holding
illegal franchises granted for so-called
3-cent fare lines on the east side. The
court held that the franchises for 3
cent lines on the west side are valid
because they were granted prior to
the date upon which Mayor Johnson
was alleged to have become financially
Interested In the roads.
The decision holds that Mayor John,
son is now exonerated from financial
interest In the law fare companies, his
obligations having been canceled be
fore the passage of the curative ordi
nance passed by the city council Aug.
3 last.
' The evidence exonerates Mayor
Johnson, the court, says, from any
toad faith or fraudulent purpose in the
transactions in controversy, and that
his motive was to serve the public by
lending his credit to an enterprise
which he conceived to be one of great
benefit to the people of Cleveland, but
his action in the approval of extension
of these ordinances, other than the
'Rhodes avenue grant, was opposed to
the common law, which does not per
mit one to act as agent for the public
in making a contract affecting his pri.
vate interests.

LINCOLN GF.TS A 1IF.A1UNG.
Complaint of Discrimination to Be
TnliCii Up Oct. 2.
The complaint tiled with the Inter
state commerce ' commission against
the Itock Island Hallway company by
the IJncoln Commercial club will be
heard In Lincoln Oct. 28. to be con
ducted by Special Examiner Farrell.
The Lincoln club complains of "unjust
and discriminatory rates on various
commodities in favor of Omaha and
against Lincoln."
Complainants assert that the Hock
Island railroad gave to Lincoln it uni
form rate with Omaha; but In order to
prevent the operation of classified
rates established by defendants
have creoted special commodity rates
wherein Is given an unwarrantable
ond unreasonable preference In freight
rates to Omaha on coal, lumber, ce
ment, lime, p'aster. brick, glassware
and other commodities between the
points on their respective railroads In
the state of Kansas, Missouri, Arkan-
pas, Mississippi Louisiana and Texas
over the freight rates given by tho
same defendants from the same points
to Lincoln.
It is also asserted the cities of Oma-
lia and Lincoln are large consumers of
coal from the mines at Carbon, Center,
Hume, Rich Hill and Sprftgue, Mo,
ind from Pittsburg. Shipment of this
coal originates on the road of the St.'
Louis and San Francisco, thence by
way of Kansas City and the Burlington
to the cities of Lincoln and Omaha,
In each instance Lincoln complains
Omaha Is given a special commodity
rate preference over Lincoln. In fact,
Lincoln alleges that Omaha Is get
ting all the best of It on rates and
calls for a new deal.

Majr Carry Typhoid lung.
Dr. J. II. Townxeod of the Connecti
cut Hoard of Health report that the
bud II u of typhoid may be carried for
year after au attack of the disease with
out any apparent Inconvenience to the pa
tient and without hi knowledge of the
fact. Kutscher, a German expert, is
quoted a saying that about 4 per cent of
the typhoid iatieiiu becouie chronic car
rier of typhoid bacilli. Although such
person may be in good health, they may
infect those with whom tbey come in ou
tlet. All this is confirmed by the recent
case o' a coo!; who had served in si'verul
New York in i I '. In every family her
presence was followed by au outbreak of
typhoid. It wus known lint the cook
hvi'ielf had Kiifl'ercd tin uttiu k of the hume
diseusi formerly and un enforced exaai-
Illation tfiwwi'd that she still carried the
bacilli.
