gestious, IN a prize contest. for a slogan
to advertise the National Capital. have
decided upon the foregoing as the best
OF those submitted-some go IN number.
Only a few OF the suggestions, accord
ing to the committee, were found worthy
Of consideration Most OF them lacked
the essential elements Of a slogan-mean-
ing and bTevity.
One proposed slogan which is said 10
have appealed strongly 20 some members
Of the committee. was this:
The best-gOverned city In the best-gov-
erned republic"
But as the claim that Washington is
the best-governed city IS not accepted IN
all quarters. and there IS q movement
for change. Il was held that this would
not readily come into general use as
slogan, and, therefore, could not wisely
be chosen

on July 10 next to reinvestigate the death
Of Second Lieut.. James y. Sutton, Z. S.
NJ C., who was mysteriously shot ct An
napolis on October 1S, 1907. 4 court OF IN
Quiry held shortly after his death decided
that he had committed suicide
Mrs. James y. Sutton. the young off,

verdict Of the court, and at her request
the department has ordered a second
investigation OF the AFFAIR
Lieut.. Sutton was killed by a pistol
shot after an alleged quarrel with a
brother officer. Sutton. accompanied by
several other officers, was returning from
Annapolis TO the Academy in an auto
mobile. a quarrel developed in the auto
mobile, which later led 20 a fist fight
The evidence adduced by the first court
OF inquiry showed that Sutton went TO
his quarters and obtained his service re-
volver with the intention OF shooting his
antagonist. He fired az one Of his for
mer companions. a Lieut.. Adams, but did
not strike him.

recommendation however. made with the
best Of motives and out OF solicitude for
the welfare OF the Filipino people, has
carried, and all that can be done Is 20
ameliorate its effects as much as pos
sible."
The Nevada Senator. discussing the pol
Icy Of this government toward the fu-
ture OF the Philippines. expressed his de-
sire to see a solemn legislative action in
corporated in the tariff law that IT is not
the purpose OF the United States TO In
corporate those islands as a part OF the
United States. He said:
G. o. p. Is Unwilling.
There Is an unwillingness on the part
OF the dominant party TO ax time with
IN which autonomy IS TO be recognized.
and I would not now press action IN that
direction; but would suggest that by a
solemn legislative utterance we put into
law the recent declaration OF the Senator
from New York upon this floor. that we
DO not contemplate Incorporating those
Islands as a part OF the United States or
holding the perpetual dominion over them;
that we hold them in trust for their own
people, and purpose at the appropriate
time in the future, 10 be determined by
Us. 10 give them autonomy, as in the case
OF Cuba. and that our purpose is 70 so
shape the government OF those islands as
70 prepare the Fiipinos for self govern
ment and ultimately 10 yield the Islands
10 the government Of their own people.
IF in connection with this, whilst re-
hitting the entire duty upon Filipino
products. so far as the United States IS
concerned. We would provide that one
fourth or one-half OF IL, should 90 TO the
Filipino government FOR expenditure in
agricultural development. IN manual
training. and in the acquisition OF a
common language. we would co much 70
ht those people FOR ultimate freedom
Filipino Planters.
The difficulty about the proposed re-
lief is that we practically remit these
duties tc the Filipino planters. who VIII
make struggle 10 absorb the whole and
VIII yield but little to Filipino labor.
1T Is much better now 10 segregate a
portion Of this. say one-half. amounting
10 100000 or SS000. .000. or One-fourth.
amounting 20 s. 500 000. annually, and turn
il over 70 the Filipino government for The
purposes which I have indicated This
Is what we did with reference 10 Porto
Rico; We took al the duties collected
on Porto Rican products and turned them
into the Porto Rico treasury Tor internal
development II we can apply this policy
10 a portion OF the duties upon Filipino
products, We viii extend q real b1nefcc-
ton 10 the Filipino people. and not an ex-
elusive benefacuOn TO the Filipino plant
