The Japs are am bitious for colonial expansion, but the Philippine climate is said to disagree with, them. TTiat the United States doesnt want jthe Philippines is now generally rec ognized in this country, although other nations hesitate to believe It. Both 'Our big political parties are committed to the principle of freeing the Philip pines some time. Congress has more , than once given-a formal pledge to .that effect. We 4ised to regard the prospect of (parting with those distant possessions .with a sort of generous resignation. tiWerfhated to lose them, but It would le duty gome time. We didn't i fluite like the idea of "governing" an j alien nation. And besides, we must ) eetfthe other powers a good example, las we did when we let Cuba go, and (when we returned the Boxer indem I rilty to China. Recent events have changed our Viewpoint somewhat, but have i strengthened the tendency to be rid of the islands. Tho war has empha sized the fact that colonial possessions are a prolific source of military weak ness. We don't want ever to have to fight a great war over the Philippines. . V e don't car? enough about them. Now, if Japan really wants the Phil ippines, it would be a simple solution of a perplexing' problem to sell them to her except for one thing. We have promised the Filipinos Independ ence, not a transfer to another alien sovereignty. And the events of the present war have quickened our na tional conscience regarding the self governing rights of small nationalities. We can't conscientiously hand over tho islands to any other power, or re lease them under circumstances that would result in any other power promptly gobbling them up. Congress now has the Philippines on Its hands, and proposes to turn them loose ns expeditiously as possi ble. The only question about It con cerns the precise time of their Inde pendence. And that Is a highly im portant consideration. For if we cast the Philippines adrift before the pres ent war Is over and the world has settled down with a new respect for law and International treaties, some land-hungry power will promptly grab the Philippines, to our shame or peril. UNCLE SAM'S INSURANCE CO, Hera is on thing, anyhow, that the federal government seems able to do Just as well as private enter prise can do it and even better. After the war started, the marine lnsunnc companies were afraid of the war risks and would have noth ing to do with Insuring ships engag ed In the European trad, exoept at prohibitive rates. The government. thereupon, at the urgent request cf American ship owners, started a bu reau of war risk Insurance which It ha been running ever since. Figure Just published show that in fourteen months of operation this Insurance bureau hoi taken In Sl, 194,454 In premium and paid out $895,884 for losses, leaving gross profit of $1,498,460. And it is still Insuring ship at a lower rat than any private company. That 91,4 08,400, of course, I nut alt profit. Expenses must be paid from It; and in the matter of rental, etc., the govenment ha an advan tage over private companies. Never theless, the bureau ha shown such marked efficiency In a pioneer pub llo undertaking that there I likely to be less distrust hereafter of fd nl business projects.

Wild horss, which are numerous in parts of Arizona, where ranchmen shot and killed them a few years ago In order to make more room for sheep and cattle, are now so valuable that cowboys on ranches there .are spending considerable time capturing them. R. R. Smith, a ranchman with headquarters at Navajo, Ariz., who operates in a wild section of the state, adjoining the Navajo Indian reserva tion, who passed through Kansas City with a shipment of range horses from that section bound for the state of Mississippi, reported that many wild horses are being captured, tam ed and broke for saddle and other purposes there. "The wild horse Is not very easy to capture," Mr. Smith said. "Its haunts are in the foothills, they sel dom being found in the high altitudes. They are moe easily captued In the Summer or Fall owing to the fact that frequently In the sping they are weak, so that the cowboys with good saddle horses can run thein down. "They are Just as wild as deer, and are on the lookout all the time for enemies, Just as other wild animals found in the mountain range country there. I have seen cowboys run down several fast saddle horses and then fail. When captured and broke thy are very hardy, and useful on the ranches for saddle purposes. "On largs ranches a number of horses must be kept In use at all times, as many as half a dozon for one man, as they are riding all the time and must make frequent changes When the cowboys start after a wild horse rtii animal Invariasly heads for a high point where there is brush and the ground Is rough. He can leap over places where the horse carry ing a man cannot cross, a fact which the wild animal seems to understand, and so makes his escape." Kansas City Dispatch. Tear Pneumonia? Become a TToho. There are few who envy the lot of tn tramp In th winter time. But those of the grip victims among u wno are threatened with pneumonia. ays ma Cleveland Leader, may change their opinion, on this score wnen tney learn of his seeming In munlty from that fearsome disease. Nowhere In th country has the grip epidemic been, more severe than In Chicago. Within ten days it caused th death of 390 persons therethrough pneumonia. Th city health eornmia. sloner, aa a matter of precaution, ex amlned en night 160 hobo who were lodged in the municipal dormitory. He did not find a single case of grip or Influenza or any symptom of pneu monia among them. Which prompted him to declare, what doctor always have maintained In effect, that pneu monia l a "suk-toodng" disease. Th very hardships of th hobo ar hi safeguard. Overeating and pver drlnking ar seldom possible for him. and h get plenty of fresh air and life In th open. So pneumonia, which kill more grown men and woman than any other known malady, ob tains no hold upon him.

Everybody know how emotions In fluence the appetite, digestion, bowel and kidney functions; how fear blanches the face and relaxes the sphincter muscles and Inhibits the circulation; and how faith, con fidence, cheerfulness and optimism enable an Invalid to put up a better fight for health. The pallor, faintness, and other disturbances accompanying fear are -probably caused by relaxation and dilatation ot the splanchnic or ab dominal blood-vessels, which are capable of holding one-third of all the blood in the body. Worry is diluted fear, or a suc cession ot fear states causing a loss of tone which becomes chronic. If one large dose of fear can cause the marked symptoms mentioned, a con tinual feeding of fear in small doses will obviously bring on actual disease ' In time. Somebody, indeed, has re ferred to the blues as "splanchnlo neurasthenia." Worry fs a direct factor ot intestinal 6tasls, with re sulting autointoxication and all that that implies. Fear can paralyze the bowel or the bladder, as is well known. Worry can cause functional disturbances of both organs, as th student about to appear for his final examination has learned.
