SCHURMAN ON THE PHILIP
TNE

Prof. Schurman, president of the
Philippine commission, who recently
returned from the Philippines, thus
summarizes the situation there:
''The rebellion is not a Philippine
rebellion: it is a Tagalog rebellion.
The rebellion does not even embrace
all of the island of Luzon.
1.-The Filipinos are a desirable set of
people.
''The Filipinos will. when peace is
restored, yield to the elevating and
softening influences of education.
$40 more than 1, 100000 Of the
100000 people Of the Philippine
Islands are in revolt.
'Thc people of the big Negros Island
are friendly.
".All of the other people Of the en-
tire Philippine group of 500 islands.
with the exception of the Tagalogs-
who comprise One-half Of the natives
of LuZOn-are neutral. The natives
Of the other islands, who are nomin-
ally in revolt. are. in fact. only terror
lied and cocrced by the Tagalogs.
1.-Two generations of education in
the Philippines will bring the people
of these islands to Il state of advance
ment that will equal in most essentials
that of the Japanese.
The Sulu group, comprising the
southern third of the Philippine arch
ipelagO. is at peace, and will remain
so. The Sultan of Sulu has accepted
the situation. only asking a favor at
the hands Of the United States.
1.-The difficulties in the Philippines
are, therefore, not difficult to over
come. The retention of these islands
is Il thing to be desired by the people
of the United States"
AS to the outlook for trade in the
Philippines, this may be taken as the
result of Prof. Schurman's investiga-
tons: '"The people Of the Philippines
will be consumers of American pro-
duets. not only in this decade, but in
generations to come. They consti-
tute the only people. practically. in
the orient who will be large buyers
of either Europe or America, event
ually. The opportunity for invest
ment in these islands is good.
"Mindanao. which IS as large as
Luzon. is an unclaimed paradise for
investors and spectators. The CHM
ate of Mindanao and the southern
islands Of the great group is cool and
pleasant.
For reasons of commerce and be-
cause Of the opportunities for invest
ment. the Philippine Islands should
remain rs they area part of the
United States.
Gas to the prospects of trade in
China-the Chinese are quick to imi-
tate, and they may, by reason Of for
eign invasion, become the mannfac-
turcrs Of the world. England does
~three-fourtls Of the foreign trade with
China. The United States sells one
eighth of the goods that China i'm
ports. The other eighth is sold by
Germany. France. Russia, Spain,
Italy. and the other countries of
Europe.
"The United States should not re-
main passive if the doors of trade
should be closed in China by any Eur
Opean power. The United States
should hold the same view Of the
Chinese trade facilities as England
holds"

Budd Reeve is press agent for the
movement in North Dakota to raise
FUNDS to bring the soldiers home, and
here is his latest:
If North Dakota has one weakness
greater than another, it is excessive
modesty. She sent double her quota
of men to the war, and there has been
no quarreling among her officers, no
jealousy, no writing home about hard
stood up like a man. served his coun-
try and is now near American soil to
receive an honorable discharge and be
received by loving friends. This
should be made an occasion Of great
rejoicing by every one, and will be.
1t is something different from any,
thing that ever happened before in his
tory. Never before in the history of
creation has a victorious army re-
turned from the opposite side Of the
Pacific ocean; this is new, and all in
the United States. And our boys are
''in it." Asking 81 to give them a
free ride home is not begging. 1t is
not asking charity for n unable to
pay his railroad fare. It is an ex-
preston OF great JOY; it is love for
our country; it is a way taken to show
good will; it is right; it is better than
buying g%unpowder after they get here.
1t is an expression of thanks that we
W to God for their safe return; 81 is
little enough to show this. The pride
and patriotism that cannot rise up to
this point should go and join Aguin-
aldo's army.
The nation and the people that are
to set the pace for the Twentieth cen
fury, that are to furnish light for
humanity in time to come, can certain
ly transport their soldiers home free
after they reach our own shores.
There is no question about it with
the troops Of North Dakota; but please
drop your little dollar in the hat and
do not stand to think about it. The
time is short and they are almost
here. You may not approve of the
war, or Mckinley, but do it for the
sake of manhood and nationhood; dc
it for the sake Of your own feelings
and prosperity if you hate the looks
of a soldier. This government has
done enough to have you put up 81
out of pure love for it, and for no othel
purpose.

The benefit to the state of having
a United States senator of experience
and tact is apparent in the matter of
securing rates for the soldier boys
from San Francisco. Senator Hans
brough is n Of the few old members
left in the upper branch of congress.
He is a man who makes many ac-
aquaintances and warm friends among
public men. He is not timid. neither
is he presumptous. He is practical.
He will go a long ways to serve a
friend and when he wants a favor he
does not have to search long for
friends. Senator Hansbrough is all
right.

considering the rushing business done
along all portions of the road in the
state. When it is necessary to put
on extra trains to handle the business

doesn't look so large. All along the
line of the n. p. for several years, and
now along the Great Northern as well,
extensive and permanent improvement
are being made, looking to the v
fence of patrons and cheaper trans
portation.

Hon. Budd Reeve of Buxton, Trail
county, is at the head of a general
movement looking to the raising Of
funds to bring the North Dakota reg
iment home. This movement extends
particularly to Grand Forks, Steele,
Griggs and other counties from which
no companies We're sent to the front.
1t is Independent of the organizations
in the various cities having companies
in the Philippines. The result of all
the agitation and enthusiasm is likely
to result in raising funds enough, not
only to give the boys a proper well
come on their return but in the aggre-
gate to bring them home free.

the Sheridan with the California vol

There is no need of an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature to appropriate
funds for the North Dakota regiment.
Enough money ought to be raised by
the sale Of 81 badges to bring them

President Mellen says in a New
York interview: Unless frost inter-
venes very soon the Manitoba wheat
crop is safe and it will be q very big
one. The crop in the Red River val
ley and in parts of Minnesota have
been considerably damaged by hail,
rain and flood, but providence has
been kind to the Northern Pacific and
mas dealt very generously with the
crops along that line. There will be
just as much wheat to move as usual,
because the farmers have so much in
reserve that the deficiency will be
fully made up. This applies to both
the eastern and western ends of the
road.
1.-The greatest difficulty of the North
ern Pacific will have to contend with
this year," MI. Mellen continued, sis
Il lack of equipment to carry the grain.
Although we have purchased all the
ars available, we have been unable
to secure enough to carry the crops,
and I do not know what we are going
to do about it. Our business the past
year has been larger than ever before.
We had as much passenger
traffic as during this summer, and u
freight receipts have broken all rec
ords. Our annual report, which will
be issued the latter part Of September,
will show that the Northern Pacific
has been operated for II per cent of
its receipts, which is a very slight in
crease over last year. Whether there
will be any change in dividends I can
not say. The board Of trustees will
decide that question probably next
month";
But not a word do we see here about
the Mandan shops.
