American people in behalf Of the inhabi-

IF we abandon the islands we shall turn
individual liberty to a reign OF misrule and
political liberty would be at an end My
experience and that of others is that to
have turned over the Islands to the follow
ers of Aguinaldo would have plunged them
into condition Of political chaos.
Ninety per cent OF the people are igno-

Is that the policy OF the administration
should be Endorsed by the people Of the
United States regardless OF expense.
Secretary Taft spoke OF the wealth in
hemp, valuable woods and minerals In the
islands and said that az long as he oc-
cupied his present pol1tion he expected to
press the recognition ~ the Filipino on the

Conditions in and about st. Louis are

bright as 1t was a week ago. owing to de-
preston existing in some lines
Failure of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration to exercise it's option on pig iron has
had depressing effect on that market. In
