o,s of the most important questions to be
settled at this time of the year is where to go
and what TO do in the summer vacation period
The problem is both an individual and family

which enter into il from various causes The
Increasing diversity Of choice renders difficult

blessed with abundant wealth and leisure had
no vacation habit. and hence no attendant prob

nothing left for the average New-Yorker, which
means nine-tenths of the population Of all the

round of Office or shop duties. For the small part
OF the population embraced In the leisure class
the question is usually settled in advance by. the
possession of one or more country seats. coupled
with the decision whether this is the season to
go abroad or to make the round Of the fashion

There Is Infinite variety of choice for those
who desire to satisfy modest and unambitious
tastes by making a longer or shorter stay at
popular hotel or unobtrusive cottage within
sound Of the sea or within sight Of the hills. or
seek rural seclusion where fresh woods and
pastures green summon one to loaf and invite
his soul. Beyond the confines Of the metropolis
lies within easy reach every desirable sort OF

Policy IL 10 Retain the Islands.
WASHINGTON, March Io.--In a letter to
John NJ. Blair Of New York made public
to-day, Secretary Of War Taft Gays that
the policy OF the Administration is 10 retain
the Philippine Islands indefinitely and
that II is his belief that self-govemment
for the Filipino people is at least a genera
ton away.
The letter was written In response to one
from Mr. Blair which said that the idea
had become prevalent that this Govern
ment would give the Filipinos self-govern-
ment In a comparatively short time, judg-
ing by remarks made 10y Secretary Taft
when he appeared before the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means several weeks
ago. Accordingly, investors have shown,
in the opinion Of Mr.. Blair, timidty In put
ting their money IN Philippine ventures.
The text OF Secretary Tait's letter is as
follows:
Il have your letter Of March :. In which
you say that common reported nterpne-
tation OF my remarks before the House
Committee on Ways and Means is that il
Is the purpose Of the Administration 20 give
Independence to the Fihpinos within the
next four years and that this produces great
timidity about investments in the Philip
pines. growing In great part out Of the UNDER

In reply, beg to say that | cannot pre-
vent misconstruction OF my remarks, except
by repeating TO you what / actually think
In regard TO the matter. The policy Of the
Administration Is the indefinite retention Of
the Philippine Islands for the purpose Of
developing the prosperity and the self-gov-
eming capacity Of the Philippine people The
policy rests on the con viction that the people
are not now capable. Of self government,
and will not be for long period Of time

not for longer time than that-and that
until they are ready for self government
II would be violation Of trust for the United

Is one wholly Of conjecture The import
Of the indefinite ret ention Of the islands.
What shall be done In the future. when the

they can be safely trusted with their own

ascertain just what the sentiment of the

shut him OF by stating that the question
he raised could be discussed only after
