Quite interesting was Governor Taft's

qualified suffrage with gradual growth
in popular government enlarged
through education in the English Ian
guage. and in short time local leg
islature. one appointed and the other
chosen, and that the Philippines
should also have three representatives
in Washington. Governor Taft agreed
with General Funston that the estab-
lishment of popular assemblage would
give an opportunity to the dema-
gogues to stir up people. He thought
the United States should declare at
once its intention to hold the Islands
indefinitely.

and several other members OF the
company severely beaten by masked
men, who forced entrance to the jail.
The troupe came to town in special

formance an alteration arose be-
tween white boys and negroes. The
latter opened fire from the stage,
without injuring anybody and then
fled by a rear door to the car, where
armed men surrounded them. The
marshal arrived and prevented vlo-
lence by taking several negroes to
JAIL where Sweating fixed the chief
blame on Wright.
