CHINESE IN PHILIPPINES.
Commission May Be Given Right to
Deal With Them.


Washington, Sept 1T is the opinion
at the War Department that Governor
Taft's remarks at the Board Of Trade
banquet in Manila yesterday respecting
the employment OF labor on plantations
will form the basis of a suggestion to
Congress at the next session, that the
act extending the Chinese exclusion laws
to the Philippines be made 1t is contem-
plated to remove the iron clad restric-
ton which now exists and clothe the
Philippine Commission with power to reg
ulate the entrance of Chinese labor.
The Commission itself already has CIV
en- some attention to this subject and Is
believed that Professor Jenkss' investi-
cations into the labor problem in the
Straits Settlements and elsewhere in the
Orient. meet with its approval The pro-
posed regulations. it is said will look to
a wisely regulated system Of Chinese and
plantation laborers under sufficient bonds
in each case and proper system of iden-
tifications and a condition that they shall
leave the Philippines after certain speci-
fed period of time.
Such regulations as exist in Hawaii for
the proper care of the coolies would be
Incorporated. Governor Taft's represen-
tations on this subject yesterday were in
answer to pressing demands from the
American Chambers of Commerce and
employers of labor in the Philippines for
relief for the present conditions, which
it Is alleged prevent the development OF
the country.

question of the Speakership of the House

added interest to the people. The presid-

which he presides, and capable of dealing
with every emergency which may arise
The Speaker must be man above the
control OF any clique or special interests
He must be a peoples man with the ca
pacity to see thes right and the courage
to do the right. There are several men
who are assured of membership In the
next Legislature who possess these quail

Out of some 10000 white men of the

primary, and the half Of this vote was
cast In the cities and towns. The Demo-

paratively little or small part in the pri-
mary save in a few counties where local
contests and questions excited interest.
The proscriptive qualifications laid down

excluded from the ballot a man who had
voted against some minor county candi-
