known in his speeches that he Is in

ground will be sufficient working of
the soil. The hay IL makes can be
more easily cured than cowpea hay.

as much as peas would, and herein

FILPINos LEARNING THINGS.

One of the prominent members of
the Filipino Assembly who has been
in ST. Petersburg studying the Russian
douma, has become convinced that the
attitude of the United States towards
its dependencies is far better for them
than the treatment Russia accords to
Finland and Poland. He thinks the
Fflipinos should go slowly and care
fully in the development of legislative
autonomy. The recent resolution pass
ed by the assembly he does not ap-
prove. and fears its unfavorable effect
on American opinion. The war de-
partment suggested the trip which
three Fflipinos are now upon as a
measure of broadening the view of
their people by study of the govern
ments of Europe. The plan prom
ises much good for the Filipinos, for
these representative men will find that
American control is greatly to be pre-
ferred to that of any European power,
and that eventually the independence
of their people will be accomplished,
which they never could have obtain
ed by peaceful methods under Euro
pean domination. The education of
the people of the Philippines is a slow
process. but it is an uplifting one, and
full of promise
