Douglass. This latter statement was
stricken out.
The lips were swollen and the tip
of the nose was enlarged and dis

For twenty five years he had been

Coal and grain were common COM

Icy of the road had been to make rates
just as low as possible on these great
commodities so that people might live.
When the road had lowered the rates
on land. others had raised them cor
respondingly on water. and therefore
he and his friends had built an elevator
at Buffalo and steamers onsthe lakes.
But the Great Northern had been the
subject of kicks and cuffs. a target for
every demagogue in the State.

Says That Islands Are
Politically Good but
Economically Bad


DR. D. P. Barrows, Director of Edu-
cation of the Philippines. was passen-
ger on the steamer Siberia arriving
from the Orient yesterday. He has
been in the islands for six years and
now comes home with his family to
make six months visit. In speaking
of the conditions of the islands, Bar
rows said:
The islands are in a good condition
generally speaking. The political sit
uation there at the present time is the
best it has ever been. The provincial
government is in good hands. There
are about forty native governors OF as
many different provinces. They are
serious and Intelligent men, and at
the recent conference held in Manila, at
which General Smith presided they
showed themselves to understand the
situation in the islands and to fully ap-
preciate the attitude of the United
States. While all these governors but
one are natives. they all speak and
understand English.
From an economic standpoint, how
ever. the, islands are moi in what /
would call a good condition. This is
occasioned by the fact that there is no
market for their sugar and tobacco.
These. of course, are their principal
staples. They however have good
market for copra and abaka, and from
these they gain their main revenue.
= The climate Is such in the islands
There is no question that great
future awaits that section. but, un-
fortunately. has not yet arrived.
So far as the education of the peo-
pie is concerned, have onlyat to say
they are all anxious to learn and to
improve themselves.
I shall try during my stay here to
arrange to have about 100 young col
leges graduates go to the islands to
assist the educational work there I
shall leave today with my wife and
four children for visit, and then /
shall make a short trip TO Washington.
d. C I shall return here eariv in
January. when l shall begin series
of lectures at the University of Cali
fornia. Ny principal subject will be
treatise. on anthropology.
