Philippines, by adding a elause prohibit

bring them to the Inited States what
would be their status.
Times-Journal: The senate has passed

were agreed upon.
The war department for some time
past lias had under consideration the
draft of a proclamation and has found it
necessary to make a number of changes
ill its text. In its modified state it was
agreed to by the cabinet and Secretary
Hoot will cable it to \cting (ioveruor
Wright for his inspection.
If it meets the hitter's approval notli-
ill remain but for the president, if
the Philippine civil government bill is a
law on that day, as it now is expected it
will be. will issue on Independence day a
formal proclamation setting forth the
terms of amnesty for all political offend-
ers in the island, including Aguinablo
and those held at (iuani.
The proclamation is based on the gen-
eral objects of the Philippine civil gov-
ernment hill, namely to restore peace in
t he archipt 1 'go and suhst it lite a civil for

proclamation will dec I a re that a
of peace now exists in the Philip-
pine Islands, save in the parts of the ar-
chipelago where the Mindanao or Pagan
tribes are giving the I nited States a
great amount of trouble and will declare
in effect that with this transfer of gov
eminent of the archipelago from a mil :
itar.v to a civil status all those arrested
and held for political offenses shall be re
sored to liberty, granted full iimncstx
and allowed to participate in the civil!
government that is to be established in
(hose islands. While tli • | ro.'b.m ition
is subject changes in text the general
language of the docui; e it is pr.-tty well |
mapped out.
'I here was a general discussion of the
treatment that should be accorded Un-
political prisoners of the islands. There
is no intention, it is said, to release
prisoners convicted of other than polit-
ical offenses, the benefits of amnesty be- j
ing limited to (hose in custody as a re-
sult of breaches of military law. leaving
criminal offenders to the action of the
proper authorities under the com n ;• civil
government. The purpose is to demon-1
strati' that motives o.* humanity and
g nerosity dictate our course toward ti e
j Philippines. When the isl mils are
' turned over to the civil authorities tli y
will not be left without adequate mili-
tary protection as no more troops will
j be ordered loin • for the present and
every precaution will betaken for tic
military safe-guarding of the islands for
I the new civil administration.
j Another subject under consideration at
j the cabinet meeting was thenegotialions
! for the purchase of the friar lands in the
Philippines. Secretary Hoot took with
him to the meet ing all the correspond
ence which has passed between himself
and Governor Taft, xv; i etlie latter has
been carry ng on his negotiations at
Koine. It is understood that Secret an
Hoot fuels great confidence in a su cessful
outcome of (ioveruor Taft's efforts.

these things as though we knew what

munity and they will he found to be do-
ing exactly those things that the Farm

He was called to the telephone and the

No rain has fallen in many parts of
Zapata count \. Texas, for over three
years. \ 11 live stock is dead and all peo

Those who remained here for months

pie in other parts of the state. Zapata

Mustang has got the territory and the
population to make a good town Many
ll town of 2,000 population has less re
ttourecM at the back of it. Hut these
towns had people who w ere united and
harmonious, who worked for the good
of the town, realizing that w hat I cue

Creek Chieftian: Sentiment plays a
1 irge part in politiss and in legislation.
I as it di es in every other department of
| human endeavor. At a state convention
ii llli os a few years ago a oic-arinel
j ex soldier was a candidate for state
; treasurer. There were a number i f can
! didates and the contest w as a bitter one.
T.ie convention was in an uproar. \
I friend of the veteran got the latter onto
: the stage and theatrically waved (he
pathetic empty sleeve. The delegates
went wild and a motion to m minate the
old soldier carried in storm of applause.
| The other day congress passed a bill
for the building of a road to Fort Don-
oldson, Tennessee. The proposal had
hung fire for some time oxx ing to suspic
ions that it might conceal private job-
bery. When the bill came up last w ek a
Tennessee congressman who was pro-
ui >t ing it product da letter written by
tleneral Henderson. The hitter went on
to stale that one legged veteran was in
f ivor of the legislation, not « n'y bee arse
he believed the road was desirable for
in iny reasons, but because he had left a
pit ctvof his jaw 1 one at Fort Donaldson,
"and the r« a Is down Ih tc ate so bad I
have never been able to visit it. That
w as sufficient. The bill passed.
If you know how to jump with human
impulse you can do most anything Hut
y-( u must jump quick. Sentiment is a
spark that doesn't last long. If you try
to keep it alive by blow ing on it you put
it out.
When the world gives you a slap.
