Who do'h not love the soft September days When summer lingers lov- tngly. and fain Would say farewell? But with her train Of winged subjects, in the golden haze She vanishes so silently, we raise No cry of anguish, for no parting pain disturbs our bliss. our loss we count but gain. Yet. e'en while dear September's name we praise. The swallow tempts his wings to longer flight; The grasses fade; the brown leaves flutter down; Full ripe, the thistle-tops and milk-weed-blows Sail far aloft on airy pinions light, And haste to catch at fleeing summer's gown. Stay! Hath she gone? The faint wind sighs, "Who knows?" Blanche Elizabeth Wade. In Everybody's Magazine for September. PHILIPPINE SC HOOL SYSTEM. Xothing in the whole history of our six years' sojourn in the archipelago is more encouraging than the warm welcome accorded to the American school teacher, followed by the re- ent rapid growth of the insular school system, says a writer in the Review of JKeviews. The importance of the work that is being done in the islands by American school officers and organ izers is very imperfectly understood In this country. The fact that more than half a million children and youths are now enrolled in the Phil ippine public schools can only be ap preciated in Its true significance when we remember that instruction In Eng lish lis required In all grades, that a great part of the teaching is done altogether in English, and that attendance at the schools is en tirely voluntary. The fact that a school system of such magnitude could be developed under the peculi arly difficult conditions existing In the Philippines and made a popular in stitution throughout the archipelago within seven years after the sinking of the Spanish ships In Manila bay is a striking tribute to the executive ability, enthusiasm and devotion to duty of the American men and women who have gone out to the islands with the idea of doing pioneer work in edu cation. Hundreds of teachers who take positions each year in the Phil ippines have an Influence outside of the school room far greater In some respects than they had at home. They are continually brought In contact with the bcal governing bodies, are called upon for advice on civic and social matters, and have a thousand and one opportunities to mold the po litical Institutions of this Interesting people at the formative period. FRANCE AND liUSSIA. The war In the far east, and Its rev elation of Russia's corruption, Internal weakness, and military Inefficiency, has dealt the dual alliance a stagger ing blow, says Frederic A. Ogg; this much the publicists generally admit, , though as to what the outcome will be there Is little agreement. The course of the conflict has been a keen disappointment to France, not so much because she cares for Russia's fortunes In the orient as because the Russian defeat has revealed such un dreamed of weakness on the part of ner ally in Europe. She had begun to suspect that the Russian alliance was one-Bided in its financial and po litical advantages; she now perceives that It Is equally so In Its military ca pacity. From the French point of view there Is therefore not much left to be said for the arrangement, ex cept one very Important thing name ly, that France has loaned more than nine milliards of francs (11,800,000, 000) on Russian securities and dare not pursue any policy which would endanger this Investment. The day opon which Russia should be forced to repudiate or to compound with her foreign creditors because the Interna tional money murket can no longor meet Kussln's Insatiable financial re uurlemcnltf. would be one of almost unparalleled calamity for France. Russia's financial position Is one of extraordinary strength, and yet a col lapse Is not Inconceivable. Should it conn-, the dual alliance could not sur vive a month, both because of the- In dignation of the French at their losses and because Russia would have proved herself financially unable to be an ef ficient ally to France In ca.su of war. As thimrs now viand, the future of tho alliance Is wholly uncertain. The compact may be consolidated on exist ing lines; li may be modified by the admission of a third power, as Aus tria, or even (Icrmany; it may bo broken up competoly. OIK PI'HLK' Ol I'KTALS. When bad men get a bad man In office they support him In all the evil a that he does, says Governor Joseph Folk, of Missouri. Bad citizens are I combined; good citizens are divided. That Is Hie chief cause of law-breaking. If good citizens would join hands In patriotic endeavor the law less could not control anything, for they consti tute but a small proportion of the en tire population. The effectiveness of law depends upon how It Is executed. When the prosecuting officer Is at tempting to enforce the law against those of power he may find himself besieged on every side; close political friends may plead. Inducements and hopes may be held out ror lessened activity; annihilation may be threat ened if he proceeds. Pursuing steadl'y the course that he has mapped out, with the good of the people alone In view, he may find himself hedged In at times by a wall of hostile Influ ences, but now and then, looking be yond to that great public that he Is serving, a friendly glance or a kindly clasp of an outstretched hand will cheer and encourage him for further effort. He cannot expect the good opinion of those against v.hom he enforces the law. Their ill will is the best evidence of his sincerity. Every pressure may be brought to bear to swerve him from his conception of honest effort. If once he falters his usefulness ns a public servant is gone. It may be far easier for him to allow some offense to go by unnoticed, but he should rather have the approval of his conscience than the plaudits of those wh would profit by his neglect of duty. Corrupt men support a man for of fice and expect In return the privilege of licensed law-breaking. Officials are elected to enforce the law and have no more right to permit lawless ness to repay personal obligations than they would have to use the public funds to pay a private debt. When all executive officials are ruled by law no man could be above the law nnd the law would reign over all. Such a condltlln would be the high est form of civilization. The Indiffer ence of electors Is the weakness of a republican form of government. To arouse good men to action 1b a question of supreme importance. Those who would destroy the laws are always active and work while good citizens sleep, but once the latter are aroused they are invincible. If the people- want a reign of law they can get It, but they must fight for It There Is the same conflict between law and lawlessness as between the true and the false, the right and the wrong, the evil and the good. The people will uphold the laws when they understand the necessity of It, for the vast ma jority of the people will do right when they know right There never was a time when unselfish teachers of the public were needed more than now. Lawyers more than any other class should be the teachers of the people. They can do much If they are true to their calling to remedy the things that dishonor. As they are ministers of the law It Is their duty to keep the fountains of law pure and undefiled. The person who In private life dis charges the civic responsibilities rest ing upon him may perform as great a public service as he who faithfully does his duty in public office. Indeed, tho public official Is a re flection of the private citizen, as the public life of a nation Is a reflection of Its private life. IS ItRYAN HEADY' TO WITHDRAW? The stery which comes to us today from Lincoln bears upon Its face cer tain evidences of probability. The last speech mode by Mr. Itryun Indi cated that there were other things on his mind besides presidential nomina tions and Indeed seemed to foreshadow what Is now Indicated by the telegram that Mr. Bryan, realizing that the eastern democrats might never unite upon him, sought out and found a man worthy of the mantle and made ready to put It upon his shoulders, says the Oregon Journal. It very often hap pens In life that the man who blazes the way falls far short of realizing the choicest benefits from his work. The pioneer In such new enterprises, particularly where he Is obliged to fly violently In the face of the settled con- vlctlons as well as the ssif-lnterest of large bodies of influential citizens, provokes antagonisms which can never be allayed. Tho end which ho has In view Is all that can claim hU attention; what Intervenes cannot con corn him if he would press home the full force of his convlcrions. There fore Mr. Bryan passed through two defeats. On the other hadd the lust campaign made It perfectly clear Unit the eastern wing of the party could hope for no success while It espoused the Ideas which animated It. if the last campaign eliminated tho flaccid political theories for which the east- I ern democrats stood It Is narely possi ble that the situation may call for a new ileal nil around. Indeed the more closely the matter Is viewed the more reasonable docs the conclusion become and we have suffllcent faith In .Mr. Bryan to bellevo that once he rcullzed the logic of such a situation he would promptly act upon and loy ally further such an outcome. In the whole range of possibilities there Is no man who so measures up to the standard as Governor Folk. He Is time-tried and fire-tested. Ho made an unapproachable record as public prosecutor In St. Louis nnd that he won the complete confidence of the people was made clear by election us governor against the combined oppo sition of the politicians. Ho stands to day as the exponent of what Is best, bravest and most modern In our pub lic life and In all respects he is a man of whom the whole people with out regard to party can be proud. MllKKTY TO STARVE. Economic Independence Is the basis of ever' kind of liberty that has worth. It was over an unjust tax that the colonies went to war. United States politicians are now engaged In talking about when the Filipinos are to have self-government, says Collier's. The Filipinos themselves are more in terested In knowing when the United States will stop taking away their power to mnke a living. The Filipinos In 1907 are to have the right to ex press their opinions In an assembly, those opinions to be accepted or re jected by the American officials as those Americans may choose; which Is nice and generous and pretty, but not quite so Important as the repeal of laws which steal food from our poverty-stricken victims to put Into the distended bellies of domestic trusts. One liberty with which the Filipinos cun dispense Is liberty to starve. SI'MMEH'S KXI).
