BE Too Expensive to Retain.

Denver, Col, Oct. 7.-Congressman
John +. Shafroth, who with Mrs.
Shafroth has been touring China and
the Philippines for the past four
months, has arrived home. Speaking
of the conditions in the Philippines,
he said: "Peace has been practically
restored in the Philippines. There
Is still little insurrection in Samar,
but aside from that everything is
fairly quiet. l do not believe, how
ever, that the retention of the islands
will be profitable, as the government
will have to expend great deal of
money on them even in times of
peace. 1t costs now between $50, 000,-
900 and $75,OOO,OOO year to keep the
soldiers there, and even if the number
is reduced to 10000 the expense will
be still greater than the profits from
the islands will warrant. The islands
are unquestionably rich, but their
benefit to the United States will not
materialize until n generation or two
has passed and the need for an army
In the islands has gone"
