The Civil Governor of the Philip*
pine Islands Again Before
the Senate Committee.
THE FILIPINOS UNFIT FOR JURY DUTY.
The Governor Says They are So I'sed
to Corruption that They Could
Not be Trnsted—They Need to Be
Trained and to Have Examples
Set Before Them.
Washington, Feb. 16.—The hearing
of Gov. Taft on the Philippines ques
tion by the senate committee on. the
Philippines began Saturday with a se
ries of questions by Senator ratter
son in regard to the fitness of Fili
pinos for jury duty. Mr. Patterson
asked whether the native population
on- which the voting franchise is be
stowed could not be trusted to do
jury duty. The governor replied in
the negative, saying they are so used
to corruption in the administration
of justice that they could not be
trusted. “They need to be trained,”
he said, “to have examples; they are
not yet ready for jury duty.”
’Referring to the code of procedure
in the islands, Gov. Taft said, in
reply to a question by Senator Cul
berson, that It is an American code
rather than a Spanish code.
Under the Spanish regime, said Gov.
Taft, the courts were not only slug
gish, but notoriously corrupt, and
that the first courts established by
Gen. Otis were no better. Under
Spanish rule there was no substantial
denial of justice.
Referring to the petition of the
federal party Gov. Taft said all cases
of imprisonment referred to there
were for military and not civil of
fenses at this time. Gov. Taft said
that the original draft of the federal
party platform had been submitted
to the commission, and that the dec
laration for statehood was then more
explicit than was ultimately adopted.
“My recollection,” he said, “is that
we said to the representatives of the
party that this must be far in the
future, and that we could make no
promises one way or the other.”
“Is not the commission responsible
for the formation of the federal
party?” asked Senator Dubois.
“Xo; It was not,” Gov. Taft re
sponded. lie gave the names of sev
eral prominent Filipinos wl;«r> had as
sisted in the organization. They had.
he said, consulted the members of
the commission, and the latter had
encouraged the formation as far as
possible because the party was for
oeace. The promise of statehood br.fl1
been no prominent part of the mis
sionary work of the leaders.
HE WILL HARDLY SUCCEED.
Dr. Mueller’* HnnA Hum Been Re
vealed mill the Government Will
be Apt to Aet Cautious!)-.
Brussels, Feb. 16.—It is said that
the desire to keep secret the depart
ure of Dr. Mueller, the former con
sul of the Orange Free State in Hol
land, for the United States, was so
keen that the Boer emissary booked
his passage under an assumed name.
According to information from re
sponsible Boer quarters, Mr. Kruger’s
letter to President Roosevelt, of
which Dr. Mueller is the bearer, does
not appeal for intervention, but ex
presses regret that he is unable at
present to personally congratulate
President Roosevelt on his accession,
and concludes with a gratified allu
sion to the numerous invitations to
visit the great republic which have
arrived and are still arriving.
Besides reorganizing the Boer
propaganda in the United States, I)r.
Mueller will direct his efforts prin
cipally to obtaining government pro
hibition of the exportation of articles
regarded by the Boers as contraband
of war, thus indirectly eliciting an
opinion on the war by the United
States government.
Dr. Mupller is supported by wealthy
Boer sympathizers in Europe and has
great hopes regarding the result o
his mission.

If when you have Rheumatism, Gout,

GOVERNOR OF f
Uses Po-ru-na
For Colds
in His Family
and Grip.
CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Office of Oregon.
Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific. Letters of con
gratulation and commendation testi
fying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as a
catarrh remedy are pouring in from
every State in the Union. Dr. Hart
man is receiving hundreds of such
letters daily. All classes write these
letters, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor
artisan, the clerk, the editor, the
statesman, the preacher—all agree
that Pe-ru-na is the catarrh remedy
of the age. The stage and rostrum,
recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusias
tic in their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect
health must, lie entirely free from
catarrh. Catarrh is well-nigh uni
versal; almost omnipresent. Pe-ru
na is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of
catarrh. To prevent colds, to cure
colds, is to cheat catarrh out of its
victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
tarrh, but prevents. Every house
hold should be supplied with this
great remedy for coughs, colds and
so forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. lie keeps it con
timially in the house. In a recent let
ter to Dr. Hartman he says:
State of Oiiwnox, 1
Executive Department, J
Salem, May 9, lb9s. )
The Pe-rti-na Medicine Co., Colum
bus, O.:
Dear Sirs—I have had occasion to
use your Pe-ru-na medicine in my
family for colds, and it proved to be
an excellent remedy. 1 have not had
occasion to use it for other ailments.
Yours very truly, W. M. Lord.
It will be noticed that the Gov
ernor says he has not had occasion
to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments.
The reason for this is, most other
ailments begin with a cold. Using
Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds, he
protects his family against other
ailments. This is exactly what every
other family in the United States
should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the
house. Use it for coughs, colds, la
grippe, and other climatic affections
of winter, and there will be no other
ailments in the house. Such families
should provide themselves with a
copy of Dr. Hartman’s free book,
entitled “Winter Catarrh.” Address
Dr. Hartman. Columbus, Ohio.
