PHILIPPINE TRADE RELATIONS.
Secretary Root Advocates Equal
Privileges For All Countries.


Washington, Jan. 13-There is au.
thority for the statement that Secre-
tary Root is strongly opposed to COM
mercial reciprocity between the United
States and the Philippines on the gen
eral ground that any such arrange
ment would be destructive Of the
"open door" policy of this government
in the east.
1t is argued that the United States
only secured the open door in China
after patient and assiduous diplomatic
negotiations with other foreign gov
deny to other governments the same
trade facilities with the Philippines
enjoyed by the United States would
result in closing the principal markets
in China to the United States.
Speaking on that subject Il cabinet
ed States could expect to be treated
the same as Russia, France. Germany
and Great Britain in the Chinese
provinces now in the virtual possess
sions of these governments would be
by granting the countries named equal
privileges and facilities with the Unit
ed States for trade with the Philip
pines:
The above statements represent the
position of Secretary Root on the gen
eral question of trade relations with
the Philippines, and the conclusion is
that President Roosevelt holds similar
views

SPRING AND SUMNER.

Spring is the happiest season of
the year. Everyone is glad and
happy. Heaven bends toward the
earth as though in love. In spring
all the plants are pushing up from
the ground to get air and light. AS
they push up out of the earth they
grow up higher and higher, and
become tender green grass and
beautiful flowers.
- SChe cowslips bloom in pretty
green meadows.
Early in the morning the butter
cups blossom.
Every leaf and blade of grass is
nice enough for the home of some
small creature. The little bird
sits at his door and sings to the
world, and his mate sits on her
eggs and sings to her next.
We can see the sap creep out of
the trees.
The green corn is sprouting up.
The babbling brook flows through
the meadow over the tiny rocks
and down into the sea which is
bluer than the sky.
The robins are plastering their
NESTS in trees or bushes. The cat
tie are in the clear pool.
In the spring we see Easter
flowers in bloom and they tell us
when Christ arose from the dead.
The little birds sing as if they
thought there was only one day
of summer in all the year. All
the green leaves seem to sing on
the trees. The trees are all large
and green, the: Wind makes music
among them until night.
