agree to this she started to create a
little excitement and accused the EN-

the like. Such talk was not appre'

ready given them a large share IN
their government and our purpos ls
10 increase this share as rapidly as
they give evidence Of increasing ht'
ness Tor the task. The great MAJOR
ity OF the officials of the ISLANDS
whether elective or appointlve' are
already native Filipinos. We are now
providing for a legislative assembly,
rms is the first step to be taken IN
the future; and IL would be eminently
unwlse to declare what our x step
VIII be until this first step has Deen
taken and the results are manifest.
To have gone faster than we have al
ready gone in giving the islanders
a constantly increasing measure OF
self-government would have e e dis
astrous. At the present moment TO
give political independence to the Is
lands would result in the immediate
loss OF civil rights, personal liberty
and public order, as regards the mass
OF the Flipinos. for the majority of
the Islanders have been given these
great boons by us, and only keep
them because we vigilantly safeguard
and guarantee them. To withdraw
our government from the Islands at
this time would mean to the average
native the loss of his barely-won civil
freedom. We have established in the
islands a government by Americans
assisted by Flipinos. We are stead
lily striving to transform this into
self-government by the Flipinos as
sisted by Americans.
The principles which we uphold
should appeal to all Our countrymen,
in all portions of our country. Above
all they should give us strength with
the men and women who are the spir'
itual heirs of those who upheld the
hands of Abraham Lincoln; for we
are striving to do u work In the
spirit with which Lincoln approached
his. During the seven years that
have just passed there is no duty
domestic or foreign, which we have
shirked: no necessary task which we
have feared to undertake. or which
we have not performed with reason

pleaded impotence. We have never
sought refuge in criticism and com
plant instead of action. We face the

We are content to stand or to fall by
the record which we have made ant

SKILLED MEN SECURED.
Packers Steadily Gaining Men, But
Strikers Are Determined.

Chicago, July 31.-Both the pack.
ers and strikers spent Sunday in
strengthening weak spots in their de-
lenses, preparatory to another weeks
effort to bring their opponents to
terms.
All the plants were operated in the
forenoon In order to get rid of the
livestock that had been left over from
last week. The remainder of the day
was spent by the employers in in.
stalling new men and arranging many
of the small details that had been
overlooked last week.
More than 1000 new men were add.
ed to the number already at work in
the different plants. Among today's
arrivals were many skilled laborers,
something the packers have been
sadly in need of ever since the strike
started. Because of the lack of skill.
ed labor the by-products of animals
killed have been let go to waste.
Enough skilled men have been pro
cured in the past As hours, however,
to justify the belief that all the by.
product plants would be in full oper
alton before the end of the week
The strike leaders spent the great,
er part of the day in preparing a
statement to the public. In this state
ment the unionists explain their side
of the controversy, dec airing it is the
packers and not the men who are re
sponsible for the present state of af
fairs in the packing industry.
The public is asked to be lenieni
with the lei during the strike, it be
ing declared by the union leaders that
it will be impossible for the men to
work under the conditions which ex
listed before the strike was called and
that, up to the present time, the pack
ers have shown no disposition to treat
the strikers in a fair manner. Ac
cording to this statement, the mer
will stay on strike until their unions
are disrupted or until the packers
surrender.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Team Driven by j. L. Bright Fright.
ened by Breaking Of Single Tree.

John l.. Bright was the main figure
in an exciting little runaway on Main
street late Saturday afternoon. He
and his man. William Freeman, had
been out to the electric light plant
and on the way out had the misfor.
tune to break a bolt that held the
single tree. This was repaired as
well as could be done and by means
of careful and slow driving town had
been reached in safety. When in
front of McKechnie's urug store the
single tree broke loose and let the
tongue of the buggy GOWN. William
was driving and was pulled out of the
buggy and in falling dropped one rein.
Mr.. Bright caught this and turned the
team toward the walk in front of the
drug store. The tongue caught under
the walk and stopped the buggy and
a number of men caught the horses
Had it not been for the presence Of
mind of Mr.. Bright there would prob
ably have been a serious runaway. Az
II was no one was hurt with the ex
ception of a few bruises on Freeman's
head and shoulders. Wagner & Sut
ter's show window narrowly escaped
demolition.

In 1890 Mrs. Biglen moved to her

Greatest Aid to Cookery
LoNa-sCALER FIGHT.

Louie Long demonstrated last night
that he is there with the punch. He
won from Kid Scaler in the fourth
round of what was to be a 15-round
go. About 500 people attended the
mill at the Spokane theater last
night. None left without feeling
that they had had their moneys
worth.
There were two good prelimlnaries.
Frank Ireland and Young Broad
mixed things for four rounds. There
was little. science in their go, but
there was plenty of hitting and mix
ing. Then came Jack Reilly and
George Hays. Reilly was by far the
better man. In the second round he
got in a good stiff punch over the
kidneys that put the colored man
down and out.
Then came the main event. At
1925 the men started their go.
Scaler commenced to hammer Long
like a fiend. He seemed to feel that
his man was easy and he would put
him out in short order. Although he
landed on Long repeatedly Long
showed no distress and held himself
in reserve. The first three rounds
were In Scaler's favor. In the fourth
Long began to find his man. A hard
one on the point of the jaw sent
Scaler down for the count. He came
up groggy. His blows lacked steam.
In a moment he was sent down again.
He pulled himself together and made
a pass at Long. Long then rushed
his man to the ropes and with a hard
right and left to the jaw puts Scaler
down and out.
1t was a good fight, but Scaler was
too anxious.
