cent. of the contract price will Do paid
therefor. Likewise, there is provision
for a premium on speed in cNccSs Of
90 miles an hour, 50 that at A miles
tlIe machine would cost the govern

HIGHLY GRATIFIEp.
Sec. Taft Much Pleased With Progress
In the Philippines.

Washington. Dec 23.-Secretary
Tafts first day at his desk. Saturday,
since his return TO the United States
was busy one from beginning to end.
He had many callers, most of them Of
ficials connected with the war depart
ment, brt there were a number Of 9TH
er persons whose business could not
be reasonably connected with that de-
part:nent.
If they talked politics the secretary
himself could not be led into any dis
cussion of that subject with the news
paper men. He did admit. however.
that he had accepted an invitation to
attend the banquet Of the Home Mar
kct Club Of Boston to address that
body on the night of the 30th instant.
The topic is to be the Philippine tar
if, and might perhaps be regarded as
political in its relation to the American
tariff.
in an interview Mr.. Taft discussed
at much length the situation in the
Philippines. from both a political and
D,aatcrial viewpoint, and expressed
himself as highly gratified with the
progress that has been made and with
the outlook for development along all
lines.
1.-THE whole situation he said.
briefly may be summed UP in this
way. Peace prevails throughout the
Philippines today in a greater degree
than ever in their history. either under
Spanish or American rule. Agriculture
is nowhere inpCded because of fear on
the part of the farmers of predatory
bands.
This is real peace comprising all the
word implies. This is the first and pos
sibly the most important accomplish
ment Of the United States in the Phil
ippines.
"From an educational standpoint,
too, found much to encourage the
supporters of our policy in the island
and those who share in our hopes for
the future"
when do you think the people will
he sufficiently we'll educated to enable
them to govern themselves?" the sec
rotary was asked.
THE Philippine government has not
funds enough to educate in primary
and Industrial schools all the present
generation of school age" he replied.
land unless some other source Of funds
or governmental means is found il will
take longer than a generation TO COM
pletc the primary and industrial edu-
cation of the common people. Until
that is done we ought not to lift our
guiding hand from the islands.
81 might refer TO certain admitted
shortcomings in the conduct Of NUM-
ciral affairs in the Philippines. We are
in this quandary: When we. who are
responsible for the policy Of autonomy
in municipal and provincial govern
n:ents. assert that it Is progressing sat-
isfactorily. we find that our words are
apt to DO construed by enthusiastic
theorists. who are convinced offhand
OF the complete fitness of the Filipinos
to govern themselves. On the other
hand, when the defects in such local
governments are pointed out the cry
is raised by pessimists and adherents
to the English crown colony systems.
that this is an admission OF failure.
