NOT WISE
TO TAKE CALOMEL
Dodson's Liver Tone is just as sure
in results and always safe, pleasant
in taste and has no bad after effects.
As a remedy for torpid liver calomel
has more than met its match in Dod
son's Liver Tone. This mecicine does
not roughly force the liver on to per
form its work. It acts gently but
surety.
Calomel depends for its power up
on exciting the liver to do more work,
and often the liver .is too weak to
stand such treatment, and after tak
ing calomel you are as a result some
times worse off than before.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot cause
any of the dangerous effects that
often follow the use of calomel. It
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
the taste, and is suitable for children
and grown people.
Get a large bottle for fiftv centn st
Asheboro Drug Co. under the guar
antee that if it doesn't satisfy you
that it perfectly takes cbe place of
calomel you will be given your money
back with a smile right at the - store

THE PHILIPPINE PROBLEM
Manila. Philip
pine Island a.
The question of
all absorbing in
terest In the east
ern lands which
border the Pacific
ocean is: What
will the United
States do In, or
with the Philip
pine Islands? Aus
tralia shows deep
est concern, for
In the effort to
keep that conti
nent of attenuat
ed population a
white man's coun
try reliance is
placed upon
American domi
nance in the Phil
ippines as a breakwater against Asi
atic invasion. But the interest keenly
felt and manifested in the island-continent
exists, though for different
cause, In Japan, looking for new worlds
to conquer; in China, slowly awaken
ing from its centuries' nap; in the
Dutch East Indies; In the French and
German possessions, and even in th
Straits settlements, Bunnah and far
off, fermenting India. Keenest, of
course, is the concern in the islands
themselves. Here It is everywhere and
continually the chief, almost the only
topic of conversation.
The Philippine islands were of small
world-consequence in the old days
when they were governed or mis-gov
erned from Madrid, by way of Mexi
co. A Spanish galleon, once a year
from Acapulco to Manila, was the only
permitted communication with West
ern lands. Grldley, at Dewey's com
mand, on May day, 1898, fired a shot
which was heard around the world and
the islands, by the fortunes of war and
I some slight outlay of money, came un-

der the American flag. The situation
changed with kaleidoscopic swiftness.
Governed for the Filipinos.
' The record of the United States in
the archipelago can be studied with
pleasure by every American citizen,
whatever his opinions may be as to
the acquisition or disposition of these
Islands. It is, with ono or two lament
able exceptions, a record of unselfish,
efficient, honest public service. There
has been little or no selfish exploita
tion. Administration has been for the
benefit of the Filipinos. Outside the
army and fortifications expenses, the
cost of the administration baa been
met by local taxation and this taxation
has been turned into the Philippine
treasury for local service. The Amer
icans are amateurs in colonial govern
taunt They lacked experience when
they took up the burden here. Per
haps for these very reasons they en
tered upon the work with enthusiasm
end conducted it without falling Into
the grooves of ancient officialism
which mar much of the colonial gov
ernment of other and older nation.
A Nation at School.
General Agnlnaldo, once leader of
the Insurrection against the American
rule, now scientific farmer and
patriotic promoter of Itandiorafta, re
plying, with his accustomed caution,
to inquiry recently declared that more
had been done for education in fifteen
years under American rule than ia all
ts centuries of 8paxish domination.
The view expresesd by General Agul-
naldo is held by every observer.
Nowhere else has there been so am
bitious an educational undertaking,
the effort to put an entire nation to
school. Only lack of revenue prevents
the extension of a public school sys
tem to every village. Even under ex
isting conditions every child on the
larger islands and in the more popu
lous communities finds a public school
within easy reach. In Manila is a nor
mal school doing good work, an excel
lent high school and a growing univer
sity, under the wise direction of Presi
dent Thomas Bartlett, which has.
among other well equipped depart
ments, a medical school regarded as
the best in the far East. Industrial
and technical instruction Is provided
In the more important centers. Eng
lish is compulsory In all these schools
and tuition is free. The Spanish lan
guage is still in everyday use in Ma
nila, because, said a Filipino, we court
ed our sweethearts in that language,
but the younger Filipinos speak Eng
lish and its use Is rapidly becoming
general.
Great Progress In Sanitation.
The Americans have Instituted
other reforms than that In education.
In the matter of public health much
progress has been made. A system of
sanitation and the drilling of artesian
wells for a better water supply have
lowered the death rate In some places
60 per cent. Cholera and smallpox
have been practically eliminated, lep
ers have been segregated and plague
spots have been made clean and
healthful for human habitation. There
is no place in all the Orient freer from
disease. The road system has been
extended until there are nearly two
thousand miles of hard-surfaced high
ways, far superior to most of the main
roads in Missouri or the middle West,
with many excellent bridges. Fine har
bor works have been constructed at
Trvj1
tne principal ports. Irrigation sys
tems have been established, agricul
ture has been promoted and new lines
opened up,
In the maintenance of law and order
and the administration of Justice the
change has also been striking. The in-
corruptibility of a Judiciary, represen-
tative of the best American type, has
succeeded a reign of bribery. The cen -
tral . penitentiary, Bllibid
peniwmuary, tsiuoia prison, in
Manila, is conducted on most progres
sive lines and the penal colony at Iwa
hlg constitutes a daring but successful
experiment in the reformatory treat
ment of criminals. When it is recalled
that all this and much more has
been accomplished in a tropical coun
try where none of these things exist
ed, and in 15 years, the Americans may
well, in the language of the political
platform, "point with pride."
- Native Want Serf-GovsrnmetH.
While the dwellers in the Philip
pines, native and foreigner alike, agree
as to the past and the present and
unite in praising the good accom
plished, there is, when the future is
considered, sharp divergence of opin
ion. The FQlntnoa, almost without ex
ceptton wish ' self-government. They
are a unit in praising the present ad
ministration at Washington for its ex
tension of local self-government Tli
inislaatlon of the Philippine islands,"
as the local phrase has it What form
this self -government shall take, repub
tt with absolute independence, - as
American protectorate, statehood tj "
the American republic, or naturaltas,
tion, Is not generally agreed upon.
Self-government, however, is the Flij.
plnos' unanimous desire.
Americans Against It. '
Tha Americans and foreigners, resi.
dent on the Islands, are almost though
not quite so unanimous against further- '
extension of the privileges of self-go,
eminent to the Filipinos. They art '
equally as unanimous in denouncing
with much vehemence the admlnistra'
tion at Washington and Its local rep
resentatives at Manila. "These peo-
pie do not know what Is good for (' v
them, said a Manila merchant "Look
ungrateful the wretches are. Th '.
want to take the government into their
own hands. It will ruin our business '
And he naively added: "Last year I 5
made 40 per cent on my investment"
The newspapers reflect the discord. I
ant views. The America.-n journals art f
filled with denunciation of Governor i
Genera Harrison's policy, though his '
gracious personality has won him,?
friends even among his opponents,
while the Filipino press is correspond
lngly laudatory. )'
Can Filipinos Govern Themselves?
The question of the duty of tb
United States in regard to these Island-
and their peoples resolves Itself into '
whether or not tbey are capable ot
governing themselves and malntalnloi ",
law and order as an independent nt f '
tion. If they can do this, even thai ' '
persons in Manila most violently cs !
posed to self-government would a grot,
though with reluctance, that it shooll '
be granted. No one here at least li
public is opposed to ultimate into (
pendence or self-government, "what
the Filipinos are capable of self-go 1
eminent," to use the phrase of ooa.i ,
men speech. The difference k as to
the time. "In two centuries at thti
present rate of progress," said oi '
American. "In a generation or two," '.
said another, while a third shrewd .
observer without the conservatism ot
capital invested In the brewery or
timber or other local business, stll:
Tbe Filipinos are capable of govev
leg themselves and maintaining peats f
and progress on the island now. and f
how can we say for a certainty that I
,they are not unless we give them I f
chance to demonstrate their capacity! f
As to maintaining themselves againa .

ter, As for self-government, look it

That throws light on th problem, U , .

Good Work of the Assembly. $
The Philippine assembly, the legt;
lature of the islands, had just id-f

The lower house consists of memben i
elected from the various provinces bj
voters who have certain educational
and property qualifications. Its men- '
bershlp is, of course, entirely natire.'
The upper house, called the comml i
sion, is composed of the governor feu-if
eral and eight commissioners, appoint- r
ed by the president of the United
States. Until recently, five of this'.
commission were Americans and four--Filipinos.
Under President Wilson'i ' :
administration, however, five of th t -commission
a majority are Fill-
pines. The work of this assemllj,, ; '
was equal to that of legislative bodie
In other and Western lands. It com
pares favorably, in discussion of w&i ', J
ures and final decision, with the stak ,
legislatures In America. There W'

each passed about the same numtw
of bills originating in the other house
In appropriation of money the assein!

In any legislative body, and Palma, the
