MANILA. Nov. 12. Manila's' new water system, constructed during a pe riod ot three, years at an outlay of $2,000,000 is completed. The water was let loose this afternoon at the source of supply in the Mariquina Valley and sent coursing on its 20-mile journey to the city. At the invitation of munici pal authorities, , Governor-General Smith turned the wheels which operates the dam gates and for the first time the mains in the city's streets were filled, from the new supply. In its 20-mile journey f:om the high er altitudes the water is carried part of the distance through a steel "JiDe line and the remainder of the way in a con crete conduit. Owing to the difficul ties of construction, the condui: in some places crosses streams on li!h bridges and in other localities tunnels beneath mountain ridges for consider able distances. The assurance of a supply of pure water for Manila is regarded as one of the greatest improvements made by the Amei leans during their occupancy of the Philippine Islands.

CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE Religious Belief Is of Great Impor tance, Says C. X. Smith. EUGENE, Or.. Nov. 11. (To the Ed itor.) Seeing some comment in some of the newspapers regarding President elect Taft's religious views (he being a Unitarian, as reported). I respectfully take exception to the view presented by one element or party, that the vo ters have no business to consider the religious affiliations or doctrines be lieved in or advocated by a candidate for a public office. Such a course reminds one of the ideas of old Queen Mary, of England and Charles IX of France, also Leo X, etc. This was largely their view, viz., that the people had no business to doubt the fitness, theologically of the candidate, faction, or policy in general, favored by them.
