Slavery in the Philippines.

The American people are at last OBJ
aiming some information concerning
slavery in the Philippines Governor
Taft in his testimony before the House
committee, said that slavery in the
Philippines was so thoroughly in
grained that it would require much
time and care to eradicate it. He
explained that there are about 300 900
slaves, majority of whom are held
for debt; and he said that until they
could bny their liberty, the obliga-
ton would run from generation to
generation. Governor Taft said that
the greatest difficulty in the way of a
solution of the problem was the attitude
of the slaves, who do not appear to
desire freedom, and he predicted that
any effort to free them by force would
result in all of them taking up arms
against the United States. So, accord
ing to Governor Taft. Philippine
slavery is one of the several enormous
problems confronting this government
in those islands. There are but three
WAYS in which a slave could obtain his
freedom: One would be for the United
States to iberate him by force of arms.
According to Governor Taft, it this
was attempted every slave would take
up arms against this government and
in defense of slavery. Another plan
would be for the slave to purchase his
freedom That precious boon is
guaranteed in the agreement entered
into by the Sultan of Sulu and the
president of the United States; but a
slave whose labor belongs exclusively
to his master and who earns nothing,
can obtain no money with which to
purchase freedom. The third plan
would be for the master to voluntarily
the slave; and this appears
to be the only hope for the abolition of
in the Philippines under the
OF the United States. The
CommOner

The Buzzard and the Bee.

The buzzard has a strong beak, {
capacious stomach and ravenoul
appetite. 1t sometimes scars in grace
full circles above the haunts of men,
but it is always looking for something
to eat. It's eye is sharp and its scent
is keen, but all its energies are en-
ployed in procuring food-and it is
not very discriminating in it's taste.
In fact, it revels in carrion while 1t
lives and when its dies leaves nothing
but foul odor to remind the world of
its existence.
The bee has an instinct for sweet
ness it communes daily with buds
and blossoms and lives amid the per-
fume of the flowers. 1t sets an ex-
ample of industry, patience and fru
gality; it fares we'll, but in addition to
making its own living it leaves store
house full of honey to testify to its
activity.
Among human beings there are some
who resemble the buzzard and some
who are like the bee. Some make no
search constantly for food and drink.
They live in the dining room and, ig-
noring all appeals addressed to the
head or heart, keep close to the flesh
pots.
There are others-and may the swarm
increase-who find pleasure in useful
toll and recreation in helpfulness; they
extract good from life, but they leave
as legacy to posterity more of the
good than they themselves consume.
Such enjoy life and add to the enjoy
ment of both those who live with them
and those who live after them.
The buzzard must be buzzard and
the bee must be bee-this is fate
but man is free to choose which he
will initiate. The Commoner.
