NELSON ON FILIPIN0S
Mlnnesotan Riddles Some of the Fal-
lacious Propositions of the
Opposition.

Washington, Feb. Platter Senator
Patterson, discussing the Philippine bill,
had attacked the administration policy,
MI. Nelson Of Minnesota made a legal
argument dealing with various phases Of
the question, took Mr.. Patterson sharply
to task for injecting sectarianism into
the discussion. holding that it was unwar-
ranted and inexcusable. 1t had remained
Tor MI. Patterson, loo, he said, to declare
that the sending Of American teachers to
the Philippines to teach the Filipino
youth the English language was an act Of
tyranny and despotism. The foreign born
people Of the northwest might as we'll
insist that it was tyranny and despotism
to be afforded the opportunity of sending
their children to the public schools.
In an extended constitutional argument
Mr. Nelson maintained that the right Of
trial by jury was not, necessarily, con-
stitutional right. Mr.. Nelson said the
argument of the minority was based on
an entire Misrepresentation Of the physical
and legal situation in the Philippine
islands. The United States government
was not in the Philippines precisely as 1t
was In California from 1916 to 1850. The
government was holding these islands,
not by legislative enactment, but by the
executive powers Of the government The
president had the right to govern those
islands until such time as the congress
should provide for their control. The
Philippine commission was simply an ex-
ecutive aid to the president, and it was
idle for senator's to regard it in any other
light. If 1t were so desired, the United
States had ample authority to hold the
islands precisely as they are being held
to-day. 1t was a SANDER upon the Amer
lean people to assert, as the minority did,
that this government was not fully COM
petent to give the Philippines good gov
eminent. Mr.. Nelson concluded:
We are there and I want to tell senators
ON the other side that the people Of this
country (whatever else they may do) will
never consent to abandon those islands. When
did it come to pass that the American people
became race of tyrants? When did 1t come
to pass that the American soldiers became
bashi baZouks over these islands? It Is
SANDER upon the American nation. I take
it that no senator Will say that the American
people not capable and willing to do more
for the inhabitants of the Philippines than
any other nation on earth.
Mr.. McCumber Of North Dakota urged
that congress should not bind the future
now by declaration of definite policy
regarding the Philippines, as it was de-
sirable that all possible information
should be in hand before a permanent
policy was determined upon.

no power to act till it is decided whether
the insurance feat ure will be made O ma
tional organization. This matter will be
decided at the national meeting in Chi
cagO next month.
While the officials were careful to keep
the fact from the report ers, it was given
out by one Of the members that the as
ISOLATION passed a strong anti-merger
resolution. Basing it's position on the
theory held by the advocates of the mer-
ger that competition did not affect rates,
the association condemned that idea and
Endorsed the fight against railroad con-
solidation being made by Governor Van

VALUE OF WARr1 BREAKFAST
BEVERAGE.
Explanation by Physician.

The high grade physician always stands
ready to guide ones habits and prevent
disease, even If by that means, he loses
many fee.
Food and drink are important factors
relating to health.
DR.. VIM. r. Blackwood, S52 N. 23rd ST.,
Philadelphia, Pa, writes on the subject
and remarks about the need Of some warm
drink for breakfast but deprecates the use
of coffee because of it's effect on the
health. He refers to the fact that the
heat of a warm breakfast beverage is
important in causing the necessary alvine
evacuation which should invariably fol-
low breakfast.
PERSONALLY, I had been quite nervous
from overwork for time and neither
coffee nor tea seemed to agree with me-
consequently I looked around for some
other pleasant breakfast beverage, for a
long time without elccess, until l got hold
of the article under consideration pos
tum).
This proved pleasing to the taste and
was also very Strengthening. Its flavor
is so nearly that of a really good coffee
as to completely take it's place after be-
ginning its habitual use. I attach much
Importance to that word 'habitual,' for if
you desire to have all of the benefits
conferred in this article you must stick
to it right along. I have proved to my
own satisfaction that Postum is all right
If preserved in
Some of my acquaintance and patients
have taken UP Postum and after a first
trial abandoned it's use, then some have
afterward formed the habit of drinking it
when shown how really simple the prep
arat1on Is which results in fine cup of
Postum containing nutritive elements
The Doctor mentions, in confidence, two
cases Of severe prostration from al
cho1fsm which were ultimately cured and
the patients restored to health through
his treatment and taking away all whisky,
coffee and tea and giving them in place
Postum Food Coffee.
The Doctor concludes his letter with
this statement, Believing that letter
from physician, who has studied di-
etetics many years in different climates
and among different races, would be of
some value. write to do what can to
further the use of this efficient product
which surely must be of great advantage
to invalids as we'll as to the general COM
munity."

FORT LINCOLN
North DakOtans Fight It's Proposed
Abandonment.

Washington, Feb. 21-The North Da-
kota delegation is making preparations to
strenuously resist the proposition to
abandon Fort Lincoln near Bismarck. The
North Dakotans assert that the strate-
gic value of the Bismarck post is much
superior to Fort Yates, which is recon-
mended by the war board as desirable
point for permanent post. Senator Hans
brough said that the post at Bismarck
must be retained in preference to Yates,
and he would recommend that the latter
post be abandoned. He says the depart
ment has not yet completed the improve
ments at Fort Lincoln by the last con-
gress The senator is not only opposed
to the abandonment of the Bismarck post
but he will insist that it shall be en-
larged and he will ask for an appropria-
ton sufficient to double the capacity of
the fort.

''Buclx'' Our Steel Trust.

''Buck" Our Steel Trust.
Special to The Journal.
Chicago, Feb. 21.-The steel trust has
found competitor in the Union Steel
company of France. That company now
has representatives in Chicago endeavor-
ing to obtain contracts at less than trust
prices. 1t is claimed by these represent
tatives that one contract was signed yes
terday within a stones throw of the offices
Of the American Steel & Wire company,
the local branch of the United States
Steel company. Rene Blum and CASTOR
Block, who were sent to this country by
the French company, say the steel they
sell is made by secret process. BY this,
they assert their concern can produce the
best steel at about half the cost of Amer
lean manufacture They further say the
new product is practically nom breakable.
1t is said the Burlington road has made
contracts for large consignments of steel
to be used in the manufacture of tools for
machine shops. The Frenchmen say the
Schenectady Locomotive works of Schen-
ectady, N. Y, has ordered an immense
shipment of the product. .-

The average yield Of the cereal crops
Of England for the past ten years has

west and northwest, but on wheat
England beats this country all to
pieces, save in limited territory in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

that there is plenty Of work to be OBJ

PERMANENT PASTURES.
We have one or two injuries as to
permanent pastures-how to get them
and what kind of grasses to sow. An
answer to this to be worth anything
must presuppose a knowledge Of soil
and latitude yes and longitude also.
IN the western range country west of
longitude 100 there is probably no bet
ter permanent pasture to be had than
that consisting Of the native grasses,
ana these must not be too closely fed
off or the weeds will soon take the
place OF the grasses. In the corn belt,
as far south as central Missouri, the
permanent pasture becomes in fact a
pure blue grass pasture in a very few
years, no matter what kind of grasses
may be sown. We know of one case
where eight different kinds Of grass
seed was sown, to make theoretically,
at least, a model permanent pasture
