AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on
farmer and makes bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first.
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent, but that he can sell the
land at the price named IL the owner
will agree TO pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent promises orally that the ad.
vertlsing money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula.
tion is not contained in contract
that the farmer signs.
In a few days he receives n copy OF
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. II is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one Of them gave up $500, Others de.
clare hotly that they will not pay but
they will make a fight in the courts.

SECRETARY TAFT'S SPECIAL RE-
PORT OF HIS VISIT TO THE
ISLANDS.
PRESIDENT SATISFIED
RECOMMENDS PARTIALLY OPEN
DOOR TO Philippine
PRODUCTS.

Misunderstanding years after the
battle of Manila Bay Secretary Taft
records the results of the American
occupation of the archipelago and
forecasts the future of the Filipinos, in
an exhaustive report transmitted to
Congress by the President, with n let
ter written by the chief executive.
commencing in the highest terms the
secretary's conclusions.
The President declares that ruin
would have followed the adoption of
any other policy toward the Philip
pines than that outlined by William
Mckinley and carried forward through
these nine years. and asserts tri-
umphantly that there is no brighter
page in history than that dealing with
the relations between the strong and
the weak in those islands. He adds
that the Filipinos have yet long
way to travel before they will be fit
for complete self-government."
Secretary of War Taft has sub
Il bptNiGli ltpoll hpoh ~
cent visit to the Philippine Islands in
which he makes the following recon-
mendations:
"First-That Legislation be adopted
by Congress admitting the products OF
the Philippine Islands to the markets
of the United States, with such rea'
sonable limitations as may remove
fear Of interference with the tobacco
and sugar interests OF the United
States.
"Second-That the present restric.
tions be removed as to the acquisition
of mining claims and the holding OF
lands by corporations In the Philip
pines.
"Third-That further legislation be
passed authorizing the Philippine gov
ernment, II 1t chooses. to open and
conduct an agricultural bank, with a
capital not exceeding s2,000,000.
'Fourth-That the coastwlse laws OF
the United States be made perma.
nently inapplicable to the trade be
tween the ports of the islands and the
ports OF the United States"
President Roosevelt in submitting
the special report to Congress ex.
presses hearty approval of the recon-
mendations In the following words:
II heartily concur In the recon-
mendations he makes, and | call es
pecial attention to the admirable work
OF Governor Smith and his associates.
II is subject for Just national graft.
iication thht such report as this can
be made. No great civilized power
has ever managed with such wisdom
and dlsinterestedness the affairs OF n
people committed by the accident Of
war TO its hands.
Save only our attitude toward
Cuba. question whether there Is a
brighter page in the annals OF inter,
national dealing between the strong
and tho weak than tho page which
tells Of our doings In the Philippines,
THE islanders have made real nd,
yances In hopeful direction. and
they have opened well with the now
Philippine assembly; they have yet n
long way TO travel before they will be
fit for complete self.goyernment. and
for deciding. ms II win then be their
