makes the following statement:
CoMMENDs HIS COLLEAGUES.
81 have been so closely occupied
for the past ten days that have not
found time to give any attention to
matters of a political nature at home.
l have taken advantage of q few days
sickness, which confined me to my
house and since Sunday to my bed for
the time, to read carefully Gov. Cum
Minis recent speech at Fort Dodge.
am, of course, glad to have his
commentator of my work in the
senate. l have given my best effort
to the full limit of my strength for
the past year to secure the enactment
of an effective rate law, but cannot
accept any praise for myself unless
am allowed to share it with Senator
Allison, who has been my counselor
in every stage of the work l have tried
to do. would like to share it also
with my colleagues in the house of
representatives, especially with Col.
Hepburn, who has been faithful in
his labors day after day and night
after night in shaping and perfecting
the house bill now pending in the
senate. Every Iowa man has done
his duty. Iwant every one of them
included in the kind feelings that are
expressed for me.
NO OCCASION FOR DIVISION.
"The political situation in our state
and the presence and speech of Gov.
Cummins at Fort Dodge seems to
force a further statement from me
to the republicans of Iowa at this
time. For several years the party
has been unfortunately, as it seemed
to me unnecessarily, divided in its
councils. If there are any issues re-
lating to our state government which
needs seriously divide the party 1 do
not know what they are. Nobody, so
far as l have heard, attacks the rec
ord made during the past four years
by Gov. Cummins and his associates
in the administration of our affairs.
"The most important matters of diff
ference among us appears to be the
proposal for primary election law.
There is an evident disposition every
where to provide additional safe
guards for elections by protecting the

FILIPINO ] RAILROAD MEN.
Natives, in Manila Take Readily II
! the Work of Operating Elec-
I trio Lines.

The experiment made in depending
solely ON native Filipinos to man the
cars of the Manila Electric railway has
proved eminently successful. Although
this kind of help was used exclusively
in building thellines, which were opened
to traffic last April, it was feared, by
some that a certain well-known ten
'dency toward unreliability in the ma
tive character would manifest itself in
the new work, more ~.exacting than any
natives had heretofore been called upon
to perform In numbers since the Amer
lean occupation.
1T is generally known" said p. E.
Fansler, assistant 10 the president of
the New York company, by which the
System was built and operated, that
the natives are wonderfully quick to
learn up to- a certain point, where a
childish anreliability has blocked fur
Their progress in the attainment of a
thoroughly civilized status. That it is
rather a natter of proper and well di-
rected tuition seems to be the lesson in
the present s AS was, generally an
ticipated, the operating manager in
Manila, Mr.. Belden, met with instan-
taneous success in instructing the ma
tive mind In the technic of street car
operation, burt contrary to general an
ticipation the usual bette noir-instabil-
ity-seems to have been quite thorough
ly overcome.
1T is felt 10y that the native has
lived up to the requirements of the job
fully as well as the white nan could
have done under any conditions and
probably better, taking the climate into
consideration" said he. ut must be
remembered that to operate a modern
electric car in the crowded streets of
an oriental city, where the traffic and
pedestrians are absolutely at variance
and unaccustonsad to SO foreign an ele-
ment, calls for the full measure of steadi-
hess and resourcefulness to avoid acct
ds1t. It is q. fact that under these try

Song of the Thrush.


All, the May was grand this mornin'!
Shure, how could l feel forlorn in
Such a land, when tree and flowers tossed
their kisses to the breeze?
Could an Irish heart be quiet
While the spring was running riot,
An the birds of free America were singing
In the trees?
In the songs that they were singing
No familiar note was ringing,
But l strove to initiate them an / whistled
like a lad.
Oh, my heart was warm to love them
For the very newness of them
For the ould songs that they helped me to
forget-an' l was glad.
So I Knocked the feathered choir
To my hungry hearts desire,
An / gloried in the comradship that made
their joy my own.
Till a note sounded, stilling
All the rest. A thrush was trilling!
All! the thrush / left behind me in the fields
about Athlone!
Where, upon the whitethorn swaying,
He was minstrel of the Maying
In my lays of love an laughter that the
years nave laid at rest;
Here again his notes were ringing!
But I'd lost the heart for singing
All, the song l could not answer was the
one l knew the best!

ing conditions the Manila Electric rail-
way Is being operated with what may
| justifably be considered a minimum Of
accident and that through the demon
| stration by the Filipino motorman of
his full possession of those very quail
ties that the more cursory examiners
have declared to be wanting. Fully to
appreciate the peculiar demand for
steadiness one must have had expert
ence in trying to progress through the
streets of a far eastern metropolis. Pc
destrians use the roadway very often in
common with vehicles and may gener-
ally be persuaded to make way only
when their lives are actually in danger.
A narrow escape from death is uniform
ly treated as a good joke, not only by the
observers, but by the principal as well.
Under the circumstances the almost
complete freedom from serious accident
in the operation of the line is decidedly
noteworthy. The conductors, too, uni
formly show the ability to live up to the
requirements of their work. They per-
form their duties expeditiously and with
tact and are, moreover, quite honest.
"These facts are significant of the
possibilities in the native Filipino char
acter when given just opportunity to
display itself and will prove especially
interesting to Americans watching the
industrial development of the islands,"
