THE HOUSE

Denver, Feb. 25.-(Special) The
lower house of the Colorado legisla-
ture has absolutely defled and
ignored those who made protest
that the action in adjourning Thurs
day for more than three days is IL
legal.
The house completely refuses to
adopt any precautionary methods or
measures which might establish the
legality of the adjournment.
Every step taken by those who
feared the illcgality of the adjourn
ment might nullify all subsequent
acts of the legislature were ordered
stricken from the records today.
The house convened at the usual
hour this morning and proceeded as
if nothing had happened.
Many of the best informed leaders
stand aghast ut the reckless and ra-
thcr revolutionary action this morn
ing. The supreme court was not ask
ed for an opinion as wiser heads sug-
gested.

MANILA, P. l., Feb. 26.-While
the states are shouting for South
American rtade and the develop
ment OF Pan-Americanism, what's
the matter with bending some at
tention to the Philippines?
These islands flying the Stars
and Stripes today present more ia
vorable opportunities for the de
velopment of American trade for
the investment of American capitai
and the engagement of legitimate
enterprise than any other Latin
American, oriental or other foreign
country. The reason Is obvious
Americans have penetrated the
archipelago and responsible Ameri-
can importers are to be found in
every port urging our wares. There
is already a developed market In
the Philippines. Elsewhere in the
tropical orient and in South Ameri-
ca importers who exclusively han
die American goods are scarcer
than hens teeth.
The people In the Philippines are
learning to prefer our ware to all
Others and to regard them as stand
ards.
