dependence. This party may be di-
vided into two classes, having differ
ent motives. The first class is anx-
ious to rid the United States of the
burden of governing the Filipinos for
the benefit of the United States The
second class is anxious to rid the
Philippines of the government of the
United States on the ground that the
Filipinos can make their own govern
ment. The third party has twice been
defeated in a national election on this
issue.
RooseveIt's Views.
THE second party has for it's chief
exponent President Roosevelt. He
believes that it is the duty of the
United States to prepare the Filipinos
for self-government. This may re-
quire generation and probably long
er, and the form of self government
will be left to the individuals who
will control the two nations at that
time.
1T follows that the president-and
he himself desired me to say this to
the Filipinos-feels charged with the
duty of proceeding on this policy and
maintaining the sovereignty of the
United States as an instrument for
the gradual education and elevation
of the whole of the Philippine people
to self governing community"
Secretary Taft, in forceful langu-
| age, stated that the Filipinos who wish
TO rule this country must first learn
the principles of democracy by send
ing their children to the common
schools before they can invite the
United States to transfer the trust
which has been thrown upon them
to their shoulders. To make a self
governing and popular democracy, pri-
mary education, habits of greater in
dustry and thrift must always be kept,
he said, before the young patriotic
Filipnos.
in number of the provinces" said
Secretary Taft "the people with the
greatest difficulty avoid starvation.
Now this is not due to the soil or
unfavorable agricultural conditions
All these are easily overcome by the
! industry which is manifest in Java
and Japan. The foundation of a con-
dition like Japan is in the industry
and the intelligence of the people"
The secretary affirmed that a pop
ular assembly would be formed, if no
insurrection exists, in April. 1907
The administrations policy. he said,
was the Philippines for the Filipinos.
If the American officials were not in
sympathy with this policy and the
natives. they would be recalled.
Secretary Taft, said in conclusion.
that it was the presidents desire that
all must work for their benefit.

President Roosevelt's Views on the

ed by the Secretary.

Manila, Aug. PA banquet given
by natives TO the Taft party tonight
attracted great interest, as it was eX-
pected that Secretary Taft would out
line the policy of the present admin
lstratlon. For some time past the
feeling among the natives has been
that the administration was deviating
from the Mckinley policy and as a
result there has been a noticeable dis
affection among the politicians with
the insular government and also much
unrest. This attitude was met fear
lessly by Secretary Taft, who upheld
the administration insular policy
When he finished his address he was
loudly cheered. He said, in part, in
response to the toast, The Present
Administration in the Philippines"
"On my part it is due to you that,
il | do nothing else tonight, should
make clear the views of the admin
istration upon tht present and future
of the islands.
The Three Views.
THE American people are divided
upon the question l am discussing in
to three parties. There is consid
cradle number who have the real i'm
perialistic idea of extending the in
fluence Of America. by purchase and
conquest, into the orient, charging
the power of the American govern
ment for the purpose of controlling
the Pacific and securing the largest
share possible of the oriental trade yet
undeveloped, during the next 100
years.
There is second party-and this
is much the largest-who regarded
our taking over of the islands from
Spain with the gravest reluctance and
who would have been gratified in the
extreme if the assumption of the bur-
den could have been avoided. The
issue has been under consideration by
this party and, indeed. by the whole
American people, and the attitude of
mind they now hold respecting the
Philippines may be stated with some
accuracy.
"They have come to the conclusion
that, however reluctant they were to
accept the fate thrown upon them.
1t is their duty to meet the response

age and hope. They believe that they
have become the trustees and protec-
tors of the whole Philippine people

Captain Jerome 3. Osier Dies After
Passing the Century Mark.
Chicago, Aug. 12.-Captain Jerome
B. Osier, believed to be the oldest
resident of Illinois, died yesterday
aged 1O5. He was born in Erie, Pa.
Following his father as a sailor on
the lakes, Mr.. Osier had become a
master of small schooner before ne
made his first voyage to Chicago. The
ship was welcomed as the largest craft
that the new port had seen and made
a sensation. Seeing great possibili-
ties in the trading post Mr.. Osier de-
cided to make it his headquarters.
In 1861 he enlisted in the navy and
was assigned to the Mississippi river
service. Under Admiral Porter, on
whose ship he was an ensign, he took
part in the river battles between New
Orleans and Vicksburg.
After the war he became a life in
surance agent and was engaged in
active business until one year ago.

DR.. c. A. Mercier. representing the Royal

Some remarkable cases were mentioned
by DR.. Mercier.
An intelligent child of seven had learned
about the pawnbroking business by reading
an article in a magazine. Having learned
while at dinner where some rings were
into the rooms, took the rings and went
out and pawned them. 1t was a deeply
laid plot.
DIR. Mercier did not say that the child
was responsible at that age. but certainly
1t was not the conduct of normal child
who had that very day been soundly thrash
ed for stealing. A normal child could be
made to appreciate and recognize what he
had done, but this child could not be made
to appreciate It.
There was another case of young man
who, while attending one of the military
colleges as student, stole some clothes
and wore them In the presence Of their
rightful owners. He was amply supplied
with clothes and money by his parents but
he liked these clothes better than his own.

Being Built Near London-Interest in
Experiment.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. June IT. 1906
In the suburbs of London, few miles
away from Hitchin. is being built a model
town called The Garden City" Already
1t has been considered necessary to form
an "open space" and Mr.. C. E. Osman.
the deputy master, and several members
Of the Gardeners Company travelled down
from London for the ceremony Of Inaugural
ton.
The piece of ground chosen for the park
is we'll wooded, and little stream flowing
through 1t has been induced to form pic
turesque lakes. Mr.. OSman, In declaring
1t open, gave 1t the name Of Howard Park,
IN memory of the late wife of Mr. Howard,
the author of the garden city" ideas.
The city itself is in fair way to mate
rlalize. Already 1t has waterworks con-
structed at cost OF 100000. and a sewage
system, while its gas works will be at work
about midsummer. Thanks partly to the
labors of some 400 Of London unem-
ployed. it has about four miles of we'll
made road The present population num-
bers about 1000. and already has provided
itself with golf links.
At present a number of buildings in va
rious materials are being erected for the
cheap cottage system exhibition to be held
lillS WHICH IL Is nOpeQ Will solve
for the landowner the problem of how a
comfortable cottage can be constructed for
about $I5. One very interesting experiment
is to be tried shortly. Two small houses
with a common kitchen are being con-
structed. The economy of space in such
an arrangement needs no such emphasis,
and If two housewives can work at the
same stove in peace and goodwill the ex-
pertinent should succeed.
1t 1t does, block of three houses with
common kitchens may be tried. Some
progress In these arrangements may be
made towards a common meal. 1t is not
contemplated that families should dine to-
gether, but that while each has its own
meal. a member of one family may partake
of dish belonging to the other, and vice
versa. Thus a greater variety In the menu
may be obtained. Whether these devices
will be successful is. however, a matter for
the future. The schemes are merely Incl
dental, and not part Of the enterprise but
for this and other experiments.
