There is au impressive object lesson Indicating tbe price wbicL tbe American people will have to pay if the policy . of Imperialism prevails, in tbe figures now sent out from Washington revealing the cost in money and men of the unhappy i war In the Philippines . Thus far, the news reports tell us, the Philippine war has cost tbe American. Government and people tbe vast sum of 1180,676, 000 in cash, to raise which a war tax, in addition to all othjr taxes paid by Americaa citizens, has been levied. Tbe total cost in lives of American soldiers, it is announced. Jis now at least 2,894, as shown from figures compiled from a report to the United States Senate made by tbe Sec retary of War upon the rques; of that body. Stop and think of these figures a bit. . The money costpf tbe war in the Philippines is already nearly equal to that of the war with Spain, one of tbe world's Powers, and will far exceed that cost before the war is ended. The sacrifice of life in battle and from disease is almost half that of the Spanish war and the tribute of blood is still demanded And for this ghastly expenditure we get a Malay colony In the Far East, to bold which we must abandon the Monroe Doctrine, repudiate the Declaration of Independence, violate the American Cons.it u tioo, incur the enmity of the Eu ropeao Powers and tempt them to meddle in affairs on tbe Amer ican Continent, and accept the continual and increasing menace of loreign wars.

In an editorial on Quakerism in a recent nnmberof tbe London Spectator it was asserted as a deplorable fact that this form of faith is "slowly dying away." The writer regretted this decad euce because, in his view, the So ciety of Friends is a religious body made up of men and women of the rarest type, whose influ ence always and everywhere counts for the best and noblest things in life and character. In a subseauent number of the Spectator appears a characteris tic letter from a Quaker reader declaring that tbe statement as to tbe declining membership of the Society was an error, so far at least as the United Kingdom is concerned. So far from the Society of Friends "hastening to at honored grave, " says this cor respondent, "it is every year in creasing. Tbe addition mis year 1 1 the membership is 121, a rath er smaller numoer man usuai Looking over a longer period we find that the present number in England and Scotland is 17.185, against 13.844 in lSbl. Tbe in crease is, as a rule, slightly in excess of tbe growth of the gen oral population. And when its source is examined, it still more clearly contradicts the notion that bur .

Mauyif them were tbe children of such hard working parents tbar, ii. their boyhood, they went without Shoes the greater part of thi year, and anything Jiek luxury was unknown to them. Theaveruf boy today spends moro for thirt to amuse himself than the boyt of half a centure ago spent foi clothing. No one wants or expects th boys of our day to live as the boyt of long ago lived. No one argues that going barefooted and ragged adds to one's mental vigor or in creases one's chance of success in life; but some "old fogy fellows" are of 'be opinion that the desin to simply have a good time dom iates b good many boys of our day and keep them from being tbe bright and useful man they might be if they made the reght effort We incline o this opinion, that many of the boys today look with utter indifference upon the golden opportunities that some boys of long ago would have seized with delight and made tbe most of im mediately. Every true and loyal American is proud of tbe fact that no hum . ble start in life is not an insur mountable barrier to the highest position of trust, and honor in our country, and it ought tpencourge every boy when reflect on the fact that many of the men who are highest in public trust and confidence to day began life with no capital but themselves. When we hear men, and partic ularly young and healthy men.ta tributing their failures to the fact tbat they have 1.0 "chance in life" we call to mind these words pf a noted' American in An add.res't 4o iftujo SLm e n: 'Nq outfit no capital ; no stars- Wltn ir - loacg man, go down to tbe library and get some books, and read of v hat wonder ful me'ehacism God gave you in your hands, in-your foot, in your eyein your ear, and then ask fotne doctor to take you into the dissec- tin-room and illustrate to you what you have read about, and never again say you'have do. cap ital to begin with.
