more than 500o0000o bushels produced in the United
States in 1900. 600 from the praries OF
the Mississippi and Missouri vallys Kansas alone
produced more than all the New England and Middle
States combined.
The importance Of wheat farming to Texas lies not
alone In the 28 100000 bushels which was the States
crop in round numbers in 1900 but in the fact that

THE FOUNDATION STONE OF OUR GOVERN.



The retention of the Philippine islands has caused
the loss OF the lives of many American soldiers and
the expenditure OF a tremendous treasure The cost
In conscience and In the reputation of this country
has been incalculable
But the Philippine question has been vigorously
and continuously debated in congress- in the press and
by tho man In the street from Maine to Mexico And
while II Is impossible to that the profit exceeds
even balances the loss there Is this much nroAt
in the business that has taught our statesmen and
our people to consider what our government is and
why
OF paramount Importance to people Is the form NJ
government under which they live. 1t moulds their
character and influences their development to an ex
tent which is rarely considered in ordinary philosophy
The intimate relation between the people and the
government is close indeed. II the one be bad the
other grows worse. The government and the people
that are not free are inferior. and the amount OF
freedom is the measure OF excellence And the reason
Of this is plain is that oppression Injuries the
character OF people who boar t. Besides This
freedom means freedom TO grow and develop along all
the lines OF virtue, prosperity and progress
Now, the government of the United States Is n
free established by themselves over them
selves by free people. The governments beginning

manner Of It's exercise OF these powers rest entirely
