they were entertained at the ommercla

politics." said Mr.. Cascro. 1--WE are
not ready for independence II are nc
more fit to assume the reins OF selt-goV-
eminent than are the republics OF South
America. Your southern neighbors are
forever embroiled in rebellions and lnsur-
rections. and are hardly worthy to be
called nations. We are going TO pront
bv their experience and not try to walk
before we can creep.
1--WE are very grateful to the great
United States for their kind assistance
in bringing us into a condition of free
dom hitherto unknown IN the ISLANDS
The Americans have not only put down
war and instruction, but also have lhsti-
tuted reforms that we ourselves never
could nave undertaken with any degree
of success, because we were not educated
in the wayseof civilization.
1--WE are grateful to your country now
and will continue to be, and for years
we shall be your willing pupils and loyal
subjects, learning the lessons and per-
fecting ourselves for that time for which
ALI men of all nations long, the time OF
their emancipation.
Gas Filipinos we are no exception to
the common run of humanity, and we
earnestly hope that the day will come
when we can say, Now we are ready to
stand alone and when that time Q
come, and when we express that sentl-
ment, we now know that our great and
generous friend and protector across the
seas will not ignore our desires"
Senior UNISON declared that the Fill
pinos are very DESTROYS of having Amer
lean capital come into the islands to
build railways, develop the mines and
convert the raw timber of the country
into lumber.
''There is no more war in the island"
he continued. Everybody is hopeful OF
the future of the islands and very enthu-
siastic concerning the education of the
children.
'Aguinaldo? What do | think of him?
Well, I'll tell you" said he i'll answer to
a question. ''Aguinaldo, to all intents
and purposes, is dead. His day is past,
and today he has no more influence with
the people of the islands than a certain
distinguished democrat from Nebraska
has with the politicians attending the
st. Louis convention"
Mr.. UNISON is a large, well-built man,
with short grey hair. His eyes are very
piercing, though jovial, and his
affable. Mr.. Cascro is of a very slight
stature, and he looked very dapper in
his frock coat and silk hat. Neither
speaks English. Col. Gardiner acted as
interpreter.

In a recent issue Of the Reporter
and Farmer we advised the Mitchell
supporters who are so loud in their
condemnation of Pierre to take their
excursionists to Pierre and show
them the awfulness of the present
capital city. We know what the
opinion Of any honest man will be
that visits the two cities If he is
unbiased by financial interests in
Mitchell. There is no comparison
of the two towns when it comes to a
location for a state capital. Pierre
has the best of the argument in
every particular, location, natural
resources, enterprise, buildings and
everything that can be thought of.
We did not suppose that 0. M.
Osbon, the "Old Man" who runs
the Howard Spirit of Dakota could
be persuaded to visit the City Of
Pierre. WI did not presume if he
did visit the capital that even its
beauties and advantages could over
come his prejudice in favor of
Mitchell to get him to admit the
truth. But it seems that the sold
Man" took us at our word and went
to Pierre last Sunday to gather some
impressions of his own with which
to advance Mitchell's capital contest.
The "Old Man. is certainly num-
bered among those who went to
scott and remained to pray" We
take a great pleasure in reproducing
Editor Osbon's article for he has
been one of the most if not
the most ardent supporter Mitchell
has had in the past and nothing that
even his fertile brain could coniure
was too bad to print as a description
Of Pierre and the surrounding
country. Here is what the "Old
Man has to say after his first and
only visit to Pierre, the state capitak

of least resistance. A bustling bust
ness center was the natural successor
of the old trading post a hundred
years ago. God planted a town in
this bend of the great river and man
can never change his purpose. And
the pluck and vim of these Pierreites
would make a good town anyway.

talked with members of a German

We noticed no wheat fields in the
vicinity of Pierre. Corn is farther
advanced than here while gardens,
millet and other forage crops are
fully as good.
On a brief, but critical inspection
we are tempted to admit Pierre, on
probation, to citizenship of the state.

Professor C. L. Beach in an address
before the New Hampshire dairymen's
convention said, among other things:
"Although the final proof of the value
~ any COW and her right to be kept in
the herd should depend upon her aplil-
ty as shown by the scales and rat test,
II very often happens that a dairyman
must rely upon his W judgment III

dairy performance, from what ne can
observe in ner form and from the gen
eral impression which she maxi upon
him, But the ability to Judge a good
COW under such circumstances Is not
common among dairymen.
Thousands of dairymen have owned
and handled cows nearly all their hves
and yet are poor judges OF cattle. Inc
reason for this is that the knowledge
which they have gained from their ex-
~perience is superficial. They nave made
little or no study of the COW except In
the aggregate; they never have proved
or corrected their judgments by rec
ords or tests. The type of a good dai-

minds based more upon personal opin-
ion than upon evidence or fact"
source of Fat In Milk.
The earlier investigators We're in
clined to ascribe to protein the source
of fat in milk, says L. w. Lightly In

Manual Of Cattle Feeding says: "Ex-
periments have shown that carnivor-
Gus animals ON a purely meat diet pro-
duced normal milk, thus proving thai
milk fat may be formed from albu-
minoids." Yes, there are things we
have not learned yet, but we are pref

Drinking Man at Discount.

The per capita consumption of liquor
shows small tendency to decrease, but it
is the observation of all that drunken
ness is diminishing. The reason is not
far to seek. Men who drink to excess
are at a discount in modern society, and
the time has long since passed when n
must drink to be a ''good fellow" The
situation, as sized up by the New York
Sun, is true and significantly true:
"Total abstinence pledges, prohibition
laws, the exhibition of ''horrible exam
ples' and the preaching of intemperance
as a sin may have had a certain amount
of influence in lettering men from drink
ing, but the social sentiment against
intemperance as an imprudence, which
has grown up during the last generation,
has accomplished far more. Drunken
ness has become disreputable or is looked
ON as a deplorable disease. People are
more sensible. The strain of modern
social conditions, it has beer found, com
pels sobriety. The drunkard can not
keep up the pace and falls behind those
who hold their eppetites in restraint"
Many banks, railroads, factories and
other big financial, commercial and
industrial institutions will no longer
employ men who drink or gamble. The
result is a great increase of temperance
among young men and a change of the
fashion, which promises well for the
future.

PIERRE AND THE COUNTRY AROUND 1T SURPRISES HIM,
the Location, the Buildings, the Crops all Tend to Change
his Opinion. Personal Observation s. Hear-say.

Living within half a days drive of
her competitor, whatever of credit
she finds in these words is due to
the obligation Of an eye witness to
tell the truth.
Pierre was a surprise; The river
and the bluffs were all that looked
as we expected to find them, even
Longstafian Sahara stretching from
Wolsey to East Pierre, was a dis
appointment. 1t was actually green
with vendure, dotted with farm
houses, hocks and herds and fields
of waving grain. If we had not
known otherwise before hand we
could have easily imagined it a part
of Dakota.
One objective we have applied to
Pierre in the past, we find to fit:
She is unique, unlike, in appearance
any other town in the state. Half
encircled by a bend of the river, the
business portion lies ON a fairly level
bottom while the residence district
is spread over the hillside which
rises in three natural terraces.
The public buildings of Pierre are
very creditable. A fine brick court
house own an eminence at the
head of the main business street.
Her three school buildings are up to
Dakota standard, one of them, the
Central school building, is not sur
passed in Sioux Falls. There are
many fine business blocks and, Of
course, a large remnant of the prim-
tive "shacks' of pioneer days. The
city is well supplied with hotels,
four, the Locke, River View, Grand
Pacific and Northwestern. In spite
of the criticism of a long line of
statesmen, we found the Loo Ike a
very well appointed and well kept
hostelry. The courtesy of Mayor
Ewert, gave us the pleasure of a
drive over the city. We visited the
gas wells, learning from Mr.. Ewert's
lips that the two wells furnish about
100000 feet, that the city is lighted
and the engines Of the waterworks
run by this gas and that the city has
a 9 of $4,000 from gas used
in private houses for lighting and
fuel. We visited the pumping
station and saw the gas engines run
ming. The city has excellent water
system, the reservoir being built on
the highest bluff adjacent furnishes
all the pressure desired. In contrast
with the dead level surface and one
business street Of the typical western
town, the architectural effect on the
residence district are most pleasing.
Another happy surprise was the
treasures everywhere-nice little
groves around the homes and rows
of them on many streets, some of
these latter reaching close to twenty
inches in diameter. These are
planted trees. Along the river banks
are gigantic cottonwoods Of natural
growth. The city owns a park Of
some thirty acres Of q beautiful
natural grove on the river bank.
