TAFT HAS HOPE FOR FlLlplNos.
Secretary Of War Thinks Self Govern
nent Possible

ChautauQua, n. Y, Aug. 12.-Secre-
tary of War Taft spoke to the assembly
on the Philippines.
Secretary Taft said the English stu
dent of colonial government thought
much more popular control had been
conferred on the people of the Philip
pines than was wise, while American
critics. who. he said. like to style
themselves anti-imperialists. con-
demned the course of the United States
in the islands on the ground that suf-
ficient self government has not been
extended to the Filipinos. He believed
tie course taken was somewhat near
the golden mean. The secretary then
entered on history of the islands with
a view to explaining what was neces-
sary to their education to make them
Safeguarding, and presented his views
to show why he thought the problem
possible of solution.
The capacity for development of 40
per cent of the ignorant Filipinos, said
Taft, is clearly shown in the educa-
ton and refinement that we find in the
comparatively small educated class N
the islands. This class is quick and
bright, full of courtesy, brave and the
oretically in favor OF civil liberty, AMI
are naturally fluent speakers.
1t is the failure to identify them
selves with the government as part of
1t and.as responsible for Its proper
administration, that renders the great
body of F'tlipinos at present unfit for
complete self-government. and the in
PRODUCTION of the system of jury trial.
The speaker said education was nee
essary and the Filipinos must be
taught governmental responsibility and
made to understand that public office
must be administered for the benefit
of the people. He cited intelligent public
ccinion as another essential to self
government. which. he said, is absent
today in the Philippines. To have
such public opinion the people must be
educated to think alike and in common
language to express the thoughts they
have on the subject of good govern
ment. The problem before this govern
ment is how best to educate the Fill
pinos for self government He said:
IF the government We're now turned
over to the F'ilipinos without American
guidance, then we can be sure that
the whole fabric of educational system
established by the American govern
ment in the islands would fall to
pieces"

Corn-The market weakened with
wheat and final prices are lower. Trade

Oats--The market was firm until

local long holders caused weakness and

Dubuque, Aug. 12.-Sanbars are fast

river. the stage is dropping fast, and the
riyermen are in a constant state or
worry lest the worlds fair traffic be

In the river has been surprisingly slow,
but. nevertheless, it has been noticeable
to the persons who follow the course OF
the great stream. The poor stage was
anticipated and the long expected is
now coming Although the stage 3.S
is very low, the prospects are that 1t
will go lower and reach the three foot
mark. 1t is unusual for the river to go
down as steadily as at present without
a falter to mark a change In the indl-
cations or without an incident. which
would lead an observer to look for
better condition later on. The river as
1t is at the present time is talked of
from ST. Paul to st. Louis. The many
