The two presidential candidates, William H. Tuft and William J. Bryan, appear as joint contributors In the Issue of Ev erybody's Magazine, to be published tomorrow. In articles dealing with the Philippines. Mr. Taft has fur bis text, "What the United States Has Done for the Philippines," and ; Mr. Bryan discussed "Wby the Pbll : Ipplnes Should Be Independent." Eleanor Franklin Egan also contrib utes an article on "America's Rec ord In tbe Philippines." la opening his discussion of the subject Mr. Taft declares that after the treaty of Paris was ratified the question aa to the wisdom of tbe ac quisition of tbe Islands no longer was an open one. There could be no difference thereafter, he argues, as to the extent of our obligations to the Philippine people. "Party lines were not drawn In the senate when tbe vote was taken on the question ot the ratification of the treaty," adds Mr. Taft. "The senators voting evidently dealt with the subject from a purely nonpartisan standpoint and as Involving a great policy. Then the establishment of the Fil ipino government to take the place of the commission created by tbe president and tbe inauguration of the popular assembly a year ago Is described. "In tbe light of these disputed facts," declares Mr. Taft, "it is dif ficult to understand how the action of the chief executive, the congress of tbe United Staata and the com mission as above set forth can be denominated a disastrous experi ment in Imperialism. So tar from its being an experiment In imperial ism, It Is an experiment, and a novel one. In preparing for self-government an undeveloped people who had for nearly 400 years been under the domination of a mediaeval monarchy." Mr. Taft pointed out that tbe great majority ot Filipinos appreciate that Independence would not be a bless ing to them In the absence of a pro tectorate. "I think it may be truthfully stat ed," be says, "that the Filipinos gen erally feel that what we are doing tbere Is not a brake upon their le gitimate aspirations, but an Impulse given to their growth and develop ment along safe and sensible lines." Mr. Bryan protests that the "Dem ocratic policy does not contemplate Immediate withdrawal from the Isl ands, but an Immediate announce ment of the nation's policy." Mrs. Egan concludes as follows: "The results we have already at tained justify us. as a people. In be lieving with Mr. Taft that there is no reason why tbe success of our na tional policy of fitting the entire Filipino people for popular govern ment should not eventually be realised."

Republicans Are Perfectly Sure of Ohio, aa Well aa Other State. NEW YORK, Oct. 20. Judge Taft will leave Cincinnati tomorrow night and begin at once bis tour of Indi ana. On his return from New York be will close the campaign with a speech at Youngstown, O., Monday night, November 2. The Impression Is that the Republican national com mittee has virtually taken charge of the campaign In Ohio Is erroneous. The impression doubtless grew out of a statement made today by Chairman Hitchcock tbat the national commit tee had arranged to aend a number of speakers Into the state. The na tional committee has done this with a full understanding with the state committee. So tbe matter was ex plained at the national headquarters today. The national committee is especial ly interested In Ohio because ot many though disputed reports of dis affection in several sections ot that state. The committee Insists it has no doubt ot tbe result In the state as a whole. It now proposes. It was said, to "clinch tbe nail."

A man in politics can't even regain his self-respect by getting out oflt. No matter how insane a man who Is engaged to a girl can act over it she want him to get worse. The most good that man can do with supreme effort Is less than the least that a woman can do without any.
