"Self-gOvernment for the Philip-
pines" is a beautiful sounding
phrase, but is as empty as the heads
which have rung the changes on
this much abused theory OF rights =
The Oriental peoples are less
trustworthy both in politics and
business than either American and
European, is a fact learned from
history, and a study of their pres
ent status. Their standards of
morals are entirely different from
those Of modern civilization. The
experiences Of other countries in
dealing with such races has demon.
strated their absolute uniitness for
self government for two reasons
First, mental and moral warp, and
second, lack of knnwe1edge-inex-
perience. This latter reason may
be overcome in time by giving them
opportunities on small scale, such
as participation in village govern
ments to acquire the needed famil-
iarity with the workings of govern
ment and affairs. But the first,
mental and moral obstacles, would
seem almost insurmountable. To
them to sink the personal in the in
terest of the whole; to seek the
benefit of all in preference to self,
will require ages of contact with
true civilization.
To say that we have wronged the
semi-civililized and harbarous tribes
of the Philippines in depriving them
of their rights, when they lever
had any, is the argument of the
shallow and the superfcial--or the
demagogue, Any intelligent man,
who is familiar with history, knows
that the races which today govern
themselves only rose to it through
many years Of trial, tribulation and
experience. After many weary ef-
forts, with the mistakes of past
generations as object lessons, the
principles of self-control and self
government were learned. It is inn
possible for any man not blinded by
passion or prejudice to entertain
the idea that the various races Of
the Archipelago will not be better
off under the control of a people who
have learned the principles of good
government from experience in the
past. With the example of justice
and fair dealing continually before
them and given the privilege of ed
ucation and the opportunity TO OBJ.
serve the workings of that complex
machine - government - they will
sooner learn the lessons of self-gov-
ernment. When, in the smaller
trusts given they show fitness, the
privilege Of participating in larger
affairs should be extended.
The question Of advantage to our
selves is not in issue. They are
now upon our hands for good OF
bad. Il is for us to so handle the
matter that the future will bring
us no shame. Honest administra.
tion should be insisted upon. Mis-
takes may be made. but President
Roosevelt can be relied upon to rid
the Philippine government of the
leeches and pariahs who go but to
prey upon the honor of our country

Department Bulletins

The department Of agriculture Of
Pennsylvania is sending out to all
desiring them bulletins on various
subjects of interest to farmers. A
mong them are the following, -" some
common insect pests Of the farmers"
''the management of greenhouses, ("
''phosphates for fertilizers" "the
fundamentals Of spraying" and "an
analysis Of commercial fertilizers" +"
All these contain valuable iniorma-
tion, hints and suggestionsand may ha
had for the asking. Send a postal to
the station asking that they be sent
you. The one on spraying is especial
ly interesting to the fruit grower for
IN fact it is now impossible to raise
fruit Of standard quality without
spraying During a recent visit to
Wayne county II was stated that
buyers had paid out in that county
alone this fall over $50, 900 for apples
and in Warren county, New Jersey,
Il is said over $40, 900 have been paid
farmers for fruit. They are large
sums to be poured IN any community
for a single product and one not ex-
pensive to raise. Our farmers could
vastly increase their incomes by 4
little labor In the care Of fruit trees

With a majority of $500 behind
him, Representative Hepburn has
returned to Washington for the
session. He says that there is no
doubt in his mind but that the
speakership must remain in the
Mississippi valley. Referring to
Mr.. Cannon's candidacy for the
speakership, he said, "He is an ag-
gressive man, disposed to be arbi-
trary and passionately addicted to
having his own way, and if these
temperamental qualities were aided
by the present house rules, there
would be but little necessity for
having any other representative in
the house than the one from Dan
Vile, Mr. Cannon's home. Don t
understand me to mean that he
would be unjust or usurpative of
power, he would not have to do
that he would not have be a usuper
simply exercise the power conferred
by the rules on the speaker. This
fact, in my judgement, makes it
desirable to elect a man as speaker
who will use, as infrequentlY as
possible, this great power, and
think Mr. Babcock, from his temper
ament and from his ideas Of the
relations which ought to exist be-
tween the individual members and
the organic body of the house, will
strive to protect the representative
character Of the house. " Mr. Hep
burn states that he has come to
Washington early in order to pre-.
pare for legislation establishing a
department of commerce, which he
hopes to see enacted.

Many of the senators and repre-
sentquves who are coming to Wash
ington express their amazement
that the president can be away from
the White House at this time and
some are clearly disappointed. They
have nnm srous "fish to fry and
the absenceof Mr.. Roosevelt is quite
disconcerting. The energy and ex-
pedition with which the president
dispatched the major portion of his
message is unprecedented but on
the other hand he has worked early
and late and has earned the brief
respite he Is now enjoying. To
those persons entitled to know, his
secretaries explain certain portions
of his message and make notes of
their recommendations, as the pres
ident can read them in much
shorter time chan would be required
to listen to the verbal expression of
their views.

Senator Elkins has come to Wash
ington and has given to the press a
statement of his attitude in regard
to Cuban reciprocity. He says that
the reason that he so bitterly opposd
the Cuban bill during the last ses-
session was that he feared that it
would prove the entering wedge
which would enable the congress-
men from the northwest to secure
free lumber, The duty of 81 per
thousand feet on lumber has proved
Of great value to West Virginia, but
the northwestern states wish it
removed He says that he is per-
fectly willing to vote for a treaty
granting reciprocity because that
will establish no preceoeut for the
removal Of the duty on lumber.

tion Of the treaty. viii it is believed

senate before the Christmas recess.
After that there will be several re-
puhlicans absent from the senate as
they VIII have TO stay at their state
capitals, looking after their reeleo.
iion and, as it requires a two-thirds
vote to ratify the treaty, every re-
publican vote may be needed.
