The United States has come into pos
session of the Philippines and all the
political and strategical responsibilities
entailed by this movement. The particl-
patton in, and suppression of, the Boxer
rebellion, the expanding recognition Of
the supreme Importance to the future
Of American trade, Of the open door the
Japan. no country is so well situated
as the United States, industrially and
geographically, to make the most and
the best OF the development Of China.
These and other events have trans
formed American Indifference to the
fortunes Of the Far East into a real,
live, tingling and vigilant concern.
Logical numerical Events.
1t did not need the Chinese boycott
Of American goods, or the outbreak OF
the trouble with Japan over the immi-
grafton question. to convince an impair
tial onlooker that Americas relations
with the powers of the Far East would,
before long. be more immediate, OF
greater moment and possibly Of greater
hazard than our relations with the
powers Of Europe. The American feet
has foreshadowed the systematic asser-
tion Of American power in the Pacific.
American interests in that ocean, COM
mercial, political and territorial, have
been neglected far too long.
Father of the Philippines.
Mr.. Taft is In a sense the father Of
the Philippines 1t has been his kindly.
constructive statesman's hand that
evolved order out Of their original
chaos. In his report submitted to Con-
gress, as result of his visit to the
Philippines to be present at the opening
Of their first Assembly, he made four
recommendations. First-action by Con-
gress admitting to the United States
Philippine products under such condi-
lions that they would not interfere
with American tobacco and sugar in
dustries: second, the removal OF re-
strictions az to acquiring mining claims
and lands; third, further legislation
authorizing the government to carry
on an agricultural bank, which is now
authorized only as a private enterprise;
fourth, the repeal Of the law applying
to the Islands the coastwise laws OF
the United States.
Philosophy of Development.
Our nation has grown by obeying the
instinct of development. We are to-day
entitled to be called Greater America,
but that greatness will be lost If we
forget the political philosophy which
has made us great-expansion OF Amer
lean thought, territory, mechanical skill,
civilizatio and philosophy. This is an
auspicious time for the creation and de-
velopment of our export trade. The I'M
explored and undeveloped markets or
Asia furnish the opportunity. All other
fields have been occupied, and to at
tempt to wrest them from other nations
would be of doubtful expediency. In
the Orient the commercial possibilities
exceed the dreams Of the optimist.
Are the American people ready to
abandon such situation and leave IL
to the mercy Of the Democratic party
with it's failure Of fifty years looking
at us from the past?

an officer who had been hailed from

himself yainly In the effort to solve
an inside mystery. He had been

The officer gasped. and there is no tell

captain and a swarm of hluecoats had
not appeared on the scene at that mo-
ment. Two minutes later they were
off securing the lake front in search of
the mysterious holdup man. Two plain
clothes men remained to question the
witnesses and to inspect the neighbor-
hood in which the crime was commit
ted.
Word came from the inner room that
Mrs. Gable was regaining conscious

"She has uttered no word except her

hysterical shrieking when he bluntly
told her of the mishap to her mistress,
but he did not wait to answer ques-

knew It,

1t is only necessary to say that his
host was bitterly impressed and will

between David Cable and his wife out
there by the sea wall, but 1t was
enough for them to know that a crisis
was at hand.
