7 do not think the Philippines are at all
lacking in population and l do not think
there is any scarcity of land there. but in
regard TO obtaining land for agricultural
purposes 1 would say there are at present
no opportunities at all. The soil is ap-
parently rich and all kinds Of cereals
might be made to grow there, with the
possible exception of wheat and oats.
Cattle and hogs do not flourish. 1t is no
country for an American laboring man.
Whites soon become enervated in that
climate and they cannot work in the
fields or al hard labor. That kind of work
is all done by the natives and the Chinese.
The latter appear TO stand the climate
best. 1 do not think the country would
be profitable to the United States if our
labor laws were extended to the islands
and contract labor forbidden. 1 do not
think the native Filipinos should be made
citizens of the United States with privi-
leges equal to ours.
CORPORAL G. NJ. BOYTON, Company
M-The prospect for white men in the
Philippines while poor is not quite as
bad as pictured. The land is fertile and
extremely productive. 1 think cotton
might be raised successfully by the ma
tives, but it would be a rather hard mat
ter for white man to attempt to get rich
off the products of the soil. A capitalist
might increase his fortune, but a laboring
man, no matter how poor. IS better off
in this country 1 think the mining pros
poets are good. At Caloocan we washed
gold right in the trenches. While the ell
mate is not suited to the people of our
race, it can be endured.

CmusiCian)-There are plenty of people in
the Philippines, in fact, the islands are
thickly populated. l do not know any
thing about the opportunities for obtain
ing land for agriculture. Americans can
not work there in our form of agriculture.
All the hard work is done by the natives
and the Chinese coolies. I cannot say
what the effect of extending our labor
laws to the islands and prohibiting con-
tract labor there would be. The climate
is very enervating and a white man soon
loses his energy to a certain degree. I
do not think the Filipinos should be made

be later on.
PRIVATE A POWELL JR. (musician)
There are plenty of people in the Phil
ippines and there is also plenty Of land
there, but I do not know what the facili-
ties are for obtaining it for agriculture.
Americans cannot work there in our form
of agriculture or, in fact, do any kind Of
hard work. All labor is done by the ma
tives and the Chinese, the latter prin-
cipally. I would not undertake to say
what the effect would DC if our labor
laws were extended to the islands and
contract labor prohibited. The climate
soon saps the energy of white men, and
while they can live there if they do not
attempt to do any hard work and take
care of themselves, they soon become
enervated. 1 do not think the Filipinos
should be made citizens of the United
States.
PRIVATE F. c. TURNER musician
In my opinion the islands are very .thickly
populated 1 cannot sa. what the oppor-
tunities are for obtaining land for agri-
culture, as I am not familiar with the
subject. They raise plenty of corn, but
! think the weather is too warm for
other American cereals. 1t rains so hard
and the sun comes out so hot after the
rain is over that l think the wheat would
be liable to rust and oats would be affect
ed, probably, in the same manner. l do
not think Americans could labor there in

I think the Fflipinos will be all right
after the Americans secure a foothold. In
my opinion, the natives will make good
citizens in course of time, but they will
have to be educated up to it.
SERGEANT c. c. KAUFMAN, Com
pany C-The Philippines, and especially
Luzon, are not lacking in population by
any means. 1 do not know what the op-
portunities for securing land for agricul-
tural purposes are, but l understand 1t is
nearly all owned by the church. There is
no doubt that wheat oats, rye, barley
and other cereals can be raised there.
Corn is already raised in large quantities.
Cattle and hogs flourish and are a source
of considerable profit. Americans cannot
do any kind of hard out Of door work
there, as they cannot stand the climate.
All work in the fields is done by either
Chinese coolies or natives, although the
latter are not partial to labor of any kind.
1 do not think the islands would be
source of profit If the contract labor sys-
tenn was abolished and our labor laws
enforced there The Fflipfnos would not
make good citizens, not for generations
at least.
PRIVATE ]. W. WHITAKER, Com
pany C-I don't know anything about the
other islands, but Luzon is in no need OF
more population. There are no opportuni-
ties at present for obtaining land for
agricultural purposes so far as [ know.
but of course there may be after the
fighting is over. l think a great many
American agricultural products could be
raised there successfully, and cattle and
hogs appear to thrive. All the work in
the fields is done by Chinese coolies nd
natives Americans could not do the
work because Of the climate. Our labor
laws could not replace the present sys-
tenn of servile and contract labor in vogue
there with profit. The Chinese work so
cheap that white men could not compete
with them 1 do not think the native
Filipinos should be made citizens Of the
United States until they have been civil
lized and that will not be for several
generations.
PRIVATE MORRIS R. WHITEHEAD,

pear to be lacking in population. 1t is
great agricultural country. but there are
no opportunities for getting land there
now l cannot say how it will be after

corn, wheat, etc, can be raised there and
American agricultural methods introduc-
ed to some extent. Cattle and hogs ap-
pear to do well. Americans cannot work
out of doors there The most of the work
in the fields is performed by Chinese COO
lies. 1 do not think our labor laws could
be enforced there. as the Chinese and the
natives are the only ones who can do the
work The climate is unsuited to white
men, as it saps the vitality. 1 do not
think the Filipinos should ever be made
citizens of the United States with equal
privileges to ours. AS soon as they get
a little education they are the worst ty-
rants on earth and have a natural ten
dency to treachery and theft.

they are densely populated and that they
are no good. I do not know what the Op-
uortunities are for obtaining land for ag-
riculture. Americans cannot work in that
climate especially at farming, as il is
carried on in this country. The hard
work Of all descriptions is done by the ma
ttves and the Chinese. Corn IS raised
there, but it is OF an inferior quality.
Other American cereals, such as wheat
and oats, Will not flourish there in my
opinion. as there is too much moisture
and it IS too hot. I do not care TO ex-
press my opinion as TO what effect the en-
forCement of our labor laws and the pro-

DETROIT, Sept. 17.-The officials
and the rank and file of American Odd
Fellowship who have thus far arrived
in the city passed a quiet Sunday pre-

Jubilee anniversary of the order. There
are already on hand some 400 of the
higher officials, including all the officers
Of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, dele
gates to the Grand Lodge sessions,
State Grand Lodge officers Grand En-
campment officers and officers of the
Rebekah branch. Besides these about
1000 of the rank and file have thus far
arrived from various States.
Religious services were held to-day
in the First Congregational Church
The central portion of the church audi
torium was reserved for Odd Fellows
and their ladies, several hundred OF
whom arrived from headquarters by
special trolley train.
Rev. Nehemiah Boynton, D. D., pas
tor of the church, preached upon
brotherhood"
The speaker defined the various rela-
tions of brotherhood, inclusive first of
family relationship, secondly, of a par
ticular class and finally the enlarged
idea of brotherhood as exemplified by
Jesus Christ, who brought brotherhood
up to its full relation, all men to Him
being brethren irrespective of residence,
religion color, wealth or other circum-
stances.
Jesus" said the speaker, looked be-
meath mems varied defects and found
therein His brother man, for whom He
offered His life. You can only carry
true brotherhood into the world in pro-
portion to the essence of brotherhood
which exists within your own souls 1t
is not enough for you to send your
check from your lodge to the physician
and the undertaken. It is more in the
open palm behind which throbs the
sympathetic heart Take away your in
spiration and the real brotherliness of
your order will fail. Your institution
IS 75 years old, but its inspiration was
born 1900 years ago with the infant
who has since been the object of the
worlds affection"
DR.. Boynton declared that the assur-
ing feature of what he termed the
''Dreyfus outrage lay in the numerous
protests against the verdict, which
showed that the principle and spirit of
brotherhood is nowadays finding inter-
. pretation hitherto unequaled.
Work progressed all day on the great
welcoming arch which will span
Woodward Avenue. The hotels have
been crowded since early morning with
incoming Odd Fellows. Tomorrow the
Sovereign Grand Lodge will be for
mally welcomed in the Detroit Opera
house by Governor Pingree and Mayor

outline legislation that shall be found
desirable, and that Governors in har-
mony with the movement viii imme'
diately after the adjournment summon
their State Legislatures together to en-
act uniform laws in the different
