Envoy of Theodore |.
CAUCUS OF THE MEMBERS
WILL NOT BE
OPENED WITH PRAYER.

Manila, Oct. 13.-Great interest is shown
IN the first Philippine congress, which will
take place this week, and the arrival of
Secretary Taft, which comes at an oppor-
tune time in the Inauguration of the Phil
lppine home rule. Already the contending
pontlcal factions are showing great ac-
tivity and at the caucus recently held
the first brush occurred over a motion to
have the assembly proceedings opened
with prayer. This was defeated by one
vote. on the broad ground that church
and state should be kept distinct
May Be Settled by Taft.
The caucus was attended by thirty-eight
delegates. The action OF the assembly
ON questions relating to the political fu-
ture or the Philippines is expected TO be
determined largely by the opinion ex-
pressed by Secretary Taft, in his address
opening the session. This is the view held
by Filipinos as well as Americans. The
latter are generally in favor of a specific
announcement on Philippine policy The
course of legislative action will depend
mainly on the result of the fight of the
Gomez radicals for continuance of the
national party.
The Nationalist. when united, exercise
controlling influence but their internal di-
visions give the Progressive Independents
the balance of power 1t is not likely that
party spirit will play much part in the
assemblys affairs, owing to persona. diff
ferences within the parties.
Radical Program.
Guerrero, one of the native leaders in
Manila, backs Gomez in his promise to
secure the repeal of the drastic flag Sc
dition" laws. If this repeal is carried
through other radical measures probably
will follow. The conservative element de-
clareS against any extreme legislation and
the better class of politicians favor an
ultra conservative course.
The governor general and the officials
Of the Philippine commission think that
the chief activities of the assembly will
be devoted to the enactment of legislation
for the general improvement of the ISL
ands.
The indications are that Manuel Cues
con will be the Taft candidate for speak

garded at Washington and his election
gives assurance that no resolution for the
independence of the Philippines will be
considered

Reproduction of Landing.

A tableau representing the landing of
Columbus was the feature of the Santa
Cruz celebration. The representation was
historically and artistically Correct. The
Santa Maria, the Pinta and the Nina, rep
resenting the fleet of Columbus, were
rugged and manned after the fashion of
the fifteenth century, and the costumes
of the sailors correspondent with those
of that date.
Following the representation of the
landing of Columbus solemn high mass
was celebrated in the open air by the
Most Rev. Bishop Conaty Of Monterey
and Los Angeles, who afterwards
preached a sermon on the life and
achievements of Columbus.
The celebration in Santa Cruz had for
its object the awakening of interest in
the patriotic observance of the day and
as a result 1t is probable that the Cali
fornia legislature will make the day a
Legal holiday.

Much to Be Learned.

But as pointed out by Secretary VIII

learned about denatured alcohol before
the new law will be of much value to the
American farmer Discussing the ques-

special crops in this country, especially in
sections where coal and wood are scarce,

Washington. Oct. 13.-Though the dena-
tured alcohol law has been on the statute
books for more than year and a half.
the American farmer. in whose interest 1t
was supposedly drawn, has yet to derive
his first benefit from its operation. Up
to the present time the law has been nom
effective. so far as the farmer Is con-

so far as the user OF fuel alcohol is con-

congress, and part or the departments
charged with the enforcement of the law
The original denatuTed alcohol law pass
ed at the first session of the Fifty-ninth
congress proved to be sadly deficient in
that IT failed to provide means whereby
farmers could manufacture alcohol from
their surplus or waste products, That
law benefited only a very few distllIers
men who were already engaged in the
manufacture Of alcohol. Then when con-
gress convened last winter attention was
called to the rulings of the commissioner

Occasion Is Observed.

In commemorati0n of the landing of
Columbus on American soil a patriotic
celebration was held by all of the coun-
ellis of the knights of Columbus as near
that date as possible. On Oct. q a spe-
ciai mass was said at ST. Mary's ca
thedral in Salt Lake for the repose of
the soul of Columbus and all departed
Knights of Columbus. On the evening
prior to this anniversary the Knights of
Columbus celebrated the occasion with a
dance In the local council hall, which was
attended by most of the members of the
order. Yesterday the councils Of Tono-
pah and Goldfield held joint initiation,
at which seventy-five candidates were
made third degree members of the or
der. State Deputy w. l.. Maginnis of
Ogden, the head of the Jurisdiction of
Utah, Idaho and Nevada, with his staff,
eXemplified the third degree.
Probably the most patriotic observance
Of the anniversary was held in Santa
Cruz. Cal, on Saturday when 1000
knights of Columbus from various points
in California gathered to celebrate Dis
covery day, as 1t is known to the MEM

was passed. specifically providing that
farmers, either individually or collective
ly, might engage in the manufacture OF
alcohol and stipulating the general con-
ditions under which such manufacture
should proceed.
Rules Need TransIating.
The enforcement of this law falls pri-
fnarily upon the commissioner of internal
revenue. Unfortunately for the farmer,
there is no one at the head or that bu-
reau who takes any interest In the dena-
tured alcohol act. The late commissioner,
Mr.. Yerkes. promulgated set of regula-
tions governing the manufacture or de-
natured alcohol on the farm. but no one
short of an expert distiller or Philadel-
phia lawyer is competent to consTue
these regulations. They are scientifically
worded, and the average farmer would
have not the slightest understanding or
their meaning after reading them
through. The first reform, therefore, must
come in the shape of a translation or the
regulations OF the commissioner OF In
ternai revenue. They must be put In or
binary English to be of any value. The
new commissioner of internal revenue,
only Just sworn in, Is not familiar with
the duties of his office; he knows moth
ing OF the denatured alcohol act, and so
far has not indicated the slightest Will
ingness TO aid the farmers In the installa-
ton of alcohol stills that will meet the
requirements OF the law. But perhaps
when he is more familiar with his work,
the new commissioner will render this
most essential service.
Overlooked by "Tama Jim"
Meantime the department OF agriculture.
the farmers friend, has been caught nap
ping Usually Secretary Wilson is fore
sighted enough to pave the way for the
prompt enforcement of all legislation
drafted in the interest of the American
farmer, but his department overlooked
the denatured alcohol law. In conse-
ouence. Secretary Wilson is not today
prepared TO instruct the farmers in the
methods of manufacture of alcohol; the
most advantageous ways of utilizing in
ferior crops and those that can find no
market, and he is not able TO recommend
10 the farmers what manner of plants
they shall INSTALL either for making or
utilizing denatured alcohol. II should be
said that this is a rare exception to the
way things are run in the department of
agriculture and the failure in this re-
spect is largely due to the neglect OF
bureau chief
Secretary Wilson has Investigations un-
der way at the present time which will
be valuable to farmers who desire TO
avail themselves of the provisions of the
denatured alcohol act. and it Is probable
that reports of the department will be
ready for distribution by the time the
regulations of the internal revenue bureau
have been put into plain English. but
there will be no governmental assistance
in this direction before next season; moth
ing can be done this winter.
