Declares FilipinoS Can t

Fifty Years Yet.

Characterizing Secretary Taft as "a
splendid optimist' who had expected
more rapid development Of the Fllipinos
than had came about, but who has now
Eeen forced 10 change his mind, with
the result the natives are getting down
en- him." Representative J. A. j. Hull
Of Iowa. chairman OF the house Military
Affairs Committee, declared today that
this country would not sell che Philip
pines and It was a waste OF time to talk
about it,
At the same time. Representative Hull
declared for radical changes in the gov
erning of the Philippines He wants
fee trade with The islands and greater
opportunities for American capital he
declares this Internal talk about self
government should stop.
Can Send Fleet Anywhere.
I'VE are not going TO sell the Philip
pines" said Representative Hull and
so what's the use Of people wasting time
talking about It? In Iowa we feel thai
we have a right 20 send the fleet any
where we please, and if any nation has
a chip on its shoulder and does not want
Us TO send our vessels where we please
the sooner we find it out the better. We
certainly have "a right 20 send our feet
10 any Of our possessions, and no nation
has right 10 presume that such action

The Eastern people seem 20 be afraid

Room for Economies.
There is room for great economies in
the administration Of the Philippine gov
eminent There are entirely too many
governors, maintained at considerable
expense. They have thirty-eight gov
errors now where ten would be ample.
There are three governors on the little

FOR LIMERICK
ARE CAUTIONED

Since the publication IN The Times
Sunday Of an Uncompleted limerick.
with an accompanying offer OF SO re-
ward for the brightest and wittiest line
10 complete the jingle. hundreds Of an
swers have been received, but the ma
JUrity of them disregard the principle of
the limerick, and, consequently, can find
no place In the contest Many OF these
limerick, but merely offer a more or less
amusing conclusion 10 the verse.
In order that contestants for the
prize may formulate their answers in a
way 10 admit them into the race, IL has
been deemed advisable to give some
idea Of what is desired.
A limerick is a verse of five lines. The
Arst, second. and fifth lines rhyme,
while the third and fourth lines rhyme
only, not with the other three The first,
second and fifth lines must measure
alike, and the same rule prevails with
Hshed the fifth line is missing. 1t reads:
There was an old rooter Of fame,
Who shouted and yelled at each game:
Just wait till next year,
And then we'll come here
And - - - - -
II will be noted that fame" and
game" conclude the first and second
lines, and a word rhyming TO these two
must finish the fifth line for which the
prize is offered. The third and fourth
lines end in year and here" 1t will
also be noted that the first, second and
nth lines are Of the same meter, and
the third and fourth are similar to each
other ia length.
These rules must be observed, and In
supplying the missing line both rhyme
and meter must be observed.

Money for Crops, Not for Speculation

The main desideratum now is to
bring back all boarded funds into the
customary channels of circulation and
to release the money tied up in fine
crops by the marketing of such pro
ducts as cotton, sugar, grain, prOvi-
sions, copper and metals generally
says the New Orleans Picayme. All
these things are in demand for export
as well as for home consumption, and
the more rapidly they are marketed
the greater will be the relief that the
money market will receive. Every en-
ergy should therefore be directed to-
ward removing all obstacles to the
prompt moving of the staple crops
Such money as may be required for
that purpose should be provided even
if speculation and industrial develop
ment should have to,,be sidetracked
for the time being.
The crops and the production of the
mills will alone provide the additional
funds that are needed and bring gold
from abroad. hence nothing should be
permitted to interfere with the market
ing of these products as speedily as
the world will absorb them.
