tended by nearly 500 delegates, repre-
senting beet growers associations of
the Arkansas valley. resolutions were
passed that beets would not be grown

day.

Grand Plaza for Denver,

Denver.-A new beauty plan for Den
yer, taking up the agitation for a civic
center with a plaza and beautiful sta
dunn in the heart ofithe city. has been
presented by the committee of twelve
citizens appointed by the mayor on the
recommendation Of the Real Estate Ex-
change. The report of the committee
has been submitted to the mayor with
sketches made by Frederick Macmon-
MES. the celebrated sculptor, In consul
tation with the committee, and elabo-
ratfons of these sketches by Discoe and

be submitted to the people Of the city.
Briefly, 1t suggests:
The cutting through of Broadway to
the river.
Strengthening of the double curve
leading from Fifteenth street into
Broadway at the present junction.
BY the acquiring of the city of two
blocks OF ground due west of the capt.
tol grounds, between Colfax and West
Fourteenth avenues. and between
Broadway and Bannock street. with the
possibility OF a third block reaching to
Cherokee street, should the city decide
on a new city and county building on
that ground. Part Of this ground-that
l
the city owns already.
The acquiring by the city Of the
Bates Triangle, and similar piece of
ground directly opposite to the south.
cutting into the territory between
Broadway and Bannock street. This
will give an irregular isix-sided plot of
ground right in the Junction OF the resi-
donce AMI business districts.
This ground, according to the plans,
will form the plaza. In the middle of
the plaza. with its line running east
and west, 1t is planned to build sta
dunn presenting opportunities for beau
tification that will place Denver on a
par with any city in the United States.
The carrying out Of the plan. as re-
ported by the committee OF twelve. will
cost approximately $500. 900. to be as
sessed in zones as provided by the
charter and paid for in fifteen annual
,nstallments.

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

Washington.-Nine 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 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. weak In those islands He adds
that the Filipinos have yet a lons
way to travel before they will be fit
for complete self-government."
Secretary of War Taft has sub
mitted special report upon his re-
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-
lions 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
eminent, II 1t chooses. to open and
conduct an agricultural bank, with g
capital not exceeding 100000.
"Fourth--That the coastwise 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 i call es-
pecial attention to the admirable work
OF Governor Smith and mis- associates.
1t is a subject for just national graft
fication that such a report as this can
be made. No great civilized power
has ever managed with such wisdom
and disinterestedness the affairs Of q
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 the weak than the page which
tells Of our doings In the Philippines.
THE islanders have made real ad.
vances in a hopeful direction. and
they have opened well with the new
Philippine assembly; they have yet a
long way to travel before they will be
fit for complete self-government, and
for deciding. as 1t will then be their
duty to do. whether this self-govern.
ment shall be accompanied by com.
plete independence. 1t will probably
be a generation, 1t may even be longer
before this point is reached: but 1t is
most gratifying that such substantial
progress toward this as goal has al
ready been accomplished"
