have the question of the Philippines
more at heart than has any other man
because 1 know the Filipinos intimate
ly and they know I am their friend.
The recent insurrection is the fruit of
the anarchy which has so long reigned
in the islands, but the insurgents will
have to submit themselves to the law
after being accustomed to no law at all.
I believe and affirm, nevertheless, that
the Philippines question will be short
ly solved. The Filipinos are capable
of governing themselves: they have all
qualifcations.f it. It is q question
of time, but the only way to settle the
insurrection and assure prosperity to
the archipelago is to concede self gov
eminent to the Inhabitants. I should
like to see autonomy first conceded and
then annexation might be talked
about;

The children and others Ia the neigh

most natural question WAS. Has this place
changed hands' Hough answered .
polite yes, but the visitors became more
numerous, SO the next day on one Of the
black boards appeared:
Yes, this place has changed hands.
Come In and swap lies.
The opposite bore this suggestion.
Don't wait until you get TO the park to
be cheated. Come 10 here.
Both signs attracted attention, but the
next evening those who passed that way
found the inscriptions changed aud 10
their places:
Women appreciate rising young men,
especially in a street car.
Tue last word is the most dangerous:
Show this to your wife.
The following evening everyone wts
looking for the black board changes.
