The Philippines.
Real progress toward self govern
ment is being made in the Philippine
Islands. The gathering Of Philippine
legislative body and Philippine assem-.
bly, marks a process absolutely new In
Asia, not only as regards AslatIc colo
mics Of European powers, but as re-
CARDS Aslatic possessions Of other Ash
attic powers, and indeed, always ex-
cepting the striking and wonderful ex-
ample afforded by the great empire OF
Japan, 1t opens an entirely new de-
parture when compared with anything
which has happened among Asiatie
powers which are their own masters.
We have given the Flliplnos consutu-
tional government. q government based
upon justice, and we have shown that
we have governed them for their good
and not for our ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
At the present time, as during the
past ten years, the inexorable logic OF
facts shows that this government
must be supplied by US and not by
them. We must be wise and gener'
GUS. We must help the Filipinos to
master the difficult art Of self con-
troll, which is simply another name for
self government. But we cannot give
them self government save In the
sense Of governing them so that grad
ually they may, If they are able, learn
to govern themselves. No one can
prophesy the exact date when 1t will
be wise to consider independence as
a fixed and definite policy.

ROUNDING UP QUORUM
Unusual Effort Necessary to Hold
Council Meeting.

The city legislature met last evening
in regular session after an unusual
effort to get a quorum. The search for
the quorum formed the bulk of the
evenings effort. The necessity OF
allowing the claims list was acknowl-
edged and Mayor Ralston gave his
officers orders to produce the quorum.

and could not be found. Lafollett is
at the river fishing and was too happy
to drag back to town. Fred Venable
was on his engine running faster than
the officers could move, and Mccall

Six left and all must be found. AL

BUYS ANOTHER HOUSE
Western Grocer Company Secures
Branch In Dubuque.

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can says: The Western Grocer Com
pany has closed deal for the pur-
chase of the stock and business of the
John T. Hancock & Sons Company,
wholesale grocers of Dubuque, and
this morning took possession and be-
gan TO invoice the stock. The Dubu-
que house will be known as the John
T. Hancock & sons branch of the
Western Grocer Company The price
has not been given out.
The purchase was made by Presid-
ent f. c. Let's, of Chicago; H. l..
Spencer, of Oskaloosa, and o. S. Ellis,
of this city. Negotiations. which final
ly resulted in the purchase, have been
in progress for several weeks.
Dubuque Firm Old House.
The firm of John T. Hancock &
Sons is one of the oldest wholesale
grocery houses in the west. 1t was
established fifty years ago by Jonn T..
Hancock, who is now dead. 1t was
begun in a small way, but grew grad
ually until it built up an enormous
business. 1t is the intention of the
Western Grocer Company to enlarge
the scope of the business, and make
one of the largest of its group of
houses.
Smith Becomes Manauer,
George p. Smith, of this city, who
was formerly manager of the Let's,
Spencer, Smith Company, of Mason
City, has been made manager of the
branch. He and Vice President o. S.
Ellis, of this city, are now in Dubuque
invoicing the stock. The lease on the
building occupied by the company has
been renewed, and the business will
be continued in its present quarters.
c. II. Flanders, formerly of Albert Lea,
but more recently assistant manager
of the Kansas City branch house, has
been appointed assistant manager un-
der Mr.. Smith.
Close Kansas City House.
Simultaneous with the purchase of
the Dubuque firm the Western Grocer
Company announces the closing of its
Kansas City branch, of which l.. C.
Norris, of this city, was manager. The
stock has been disposed of, but the
company owns the building, and has
converted it into a storage ware
house. The Western Storage Com
pany has been organized to control the
building, and it's business is being
managed by NJ. E. Hogan, who was
traffic manager of the Kansas City
house.
None of the general officers of the
company were in the city today, and
1t could not be learned where Mr.
| Norris, who was formerly manager OF
Let's, Fletcher Company, would be
placed.

in the employ of the Kansas City
house, have been transferred to the
st. Joseph branch, and the territories
of the two houses have been consoli.
