JUST ABOUT THE PHIL IPPINE ISLANDS

Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Ihe Philippines are wonderfully rich
IN soil and natural resources. They pos

TO make up the imports into the United
states from tropical countries which
now represent IN the aggregate many
hundreds of millions Of money annual
ly. But the people of the islands are
extremely poor; they are lacking in
initiative and energy and are wholly
incapable of the development of the
land without the assistance of outside
capital under competent direction. In
order TO get tins industry there must
be made attractions and this can be done
only by removing all trade barriers
from between the islands and this cour
try and by extending TO them the same
liberal land and mining laws as arc en-
loyed here, The public lands, which
comprise about 80 per cent of the to.
tai area, should be surveyed and made
available for settlement Restrictions
on the holdings of corporations should
be increased from $500 acres to $4,000,
or be entirely abolished, for some of
the most important agricultural indus
tries cannot be operated to advantage
except on an extensive scale, And i'm
general association of the affairs of The
islands with those of our own govern.
ment should be made so intimate as TO
leave no doubt of our permanencv in
and security of the government there.
Such relations viii! prove mutually ad-
vantageous TO the people Of the Phil.
lppines and TO those of the United
States.
The islands viii furnish field for
the safe and profitable investment of
American capital. They will make us
independent of foreign sources of sup.
ply for tropical products and provide n
compensating market for several hun.
drcd million dollars worth of our own
manufactures and foodstuffs. On the
other hand infusion of American can

clothes and adopt n more expensive
style OF living generally, as his ability
TO pay for the luXuries Of life is in
creased. The Filipino does not differ
greatly in this regard from the people
of other races. He is highly impress
slonable and not slow to profit by the
Influence of education aud the lessons
of example. The women Of the race
exercise a controlling influence in econ
omic matters, and this Influence will
insure the maximum Of industrial pro-
gresS when the people are given tho in

raj desire for Il higher standard Of liV-
ing. Man labors to satisfy his require
ments, and his requirements gradually
but surely come to conform to his abil-

" of rice and fish, bur is quick TO avail
himself of an opportunity to add meat
and bread to his diet. He goes barefoot
and clothed in simple camisn and pant
aloons. but only until he is able to af
ford shoes, shirt, collar and tie. These

army chaplain TO receive medal OF

He was also honorably mentioned for

army chaplain seems to have been the
Rev, William \. Whitwell, appointed
at Hancock barracks in 1910. The first

have been Protius Fisk, detailed TO the

second was j. Orville Dewey, appoint

chaplain in the navy at the present
time.
The Nays Dominies.
Our two dozen naval chaplains rank
as captains, commanders. lieutenant
commanders or Icutcnants, according to
how long they have been in the service.
Those on sea duty receive from $4,000
to $440O q year, while those on land
duty get from $4,000 to $4,000 Their
function is similar TO that of the army
chaplaips, and one Of their most solemn
duties is 10 90 about among the crew
when ship is clearing for action and
obtain from each man a note contain
ing his last message, TO be sent to
his family at home III case he is killed
III the engagement.
The ranking naval chaplain now is
David Howard Tribou, stationed at the
Naval Home in Philadelphia. There
are but three other chaplaiu-ca captains on
the active list: Frank Thompson at
Portsmouth navy yard; Roswell r..
Hoes. mt the Norfolk ward, and Carroll
q, Wright. at the Philadelphia yard.
In the navy until the twenties some
such petty officer as captain s clerk
or purser's steward, as a reward for
good services, was generally allowed TO
ofiiciate as chaplain in reading Sabbath
and burial services, generally from the
Episcopal prayer book, for which duty
he was paid a chaplain s salary. But
about 1926 there began to be observed
rule requiring that only a regularly
ordained minister should be chosen as
chaplain IN the navy.
Prison Chaplains' Odd Duties.

Kong 5 harbor is not exceeded by that
entering any port in the world. But
Hong Kong has no contiguous territory
of it's own to supply. while Manila will
have the commerce of the Philippines

should suggest to our men Of affairs the
wonderful opportunity that awaits
American commerce in the orient If we
but take advantage of what Is fairly
within our grasp.
Great Count Gary,
TO the south of ..ippines are
the great islands OF 90 East Indies (;
to the north is Japap, and on the west
is the mainland Of Asia. China is the
most important element in all of this
territory because of the vastness of its
marts Of China are but few days
travel from Manila. The nearest is
two and the others from three TO FIVE
days travel by sea. China is develop
ing rapidly; the building Of railroads
is giving great impetus 10 the com
merce of thc empire, and spirit OF
progress prevails there that is bring

and doubtless viii carry permanent

Philippines develops volume commen-
suratc with their producing capacity,
for goods from this country would be
in control of that trade. From such
stocks the trade Of China could be sup.
piled, and ii would not be long before
Chinese merchants would come TO APP
prcciate the advantage Of buying al

increased cost, for the necessity Of
buying heavily and carrying abnormal
stocks would thereby be eliminated. re-
quIrements could be moro accurately

This operation would be gradual. as
are all radical departures from custom
by the Chinese. But, IN my opinion,
The belief is fully warranted that de-
Velopment OF the resources and con-
troll Of the trade of the Philippines
will assure our ascendancy in and ulti
mate control of the trade of China.
Need OF Merchant Marine,
a striking expression on this point,
and one that should appeal 10 every
citizen of tins country. appeared in
I'M editorial in the Baltimore Amer
lean. 1t is well worth quoting here;
The day Is coming when there Will
be an adequate merchant marine and
this country, whose trade is already a
magnificent tribute 10 its vigorous life
will be in the primacy in the East,
which VIII mean the primacy of the
world.
''Therc has never been an instance
of territorial extension that has not
been combated on grounds as super.
lcially plausible as the most ingenious
arguments brought against the Philip
pine holdings. In each instance his
tory has justified the extension, 1t is
easy 10 see thaJ the possession of the
Philippines will be leverage for the
promotion of unparalleled trade devel-
opmcnt and should also be promotive of
peace. The one convincing argument
for the preservation of peace is
strength The Philippines represent
great potentiaities for this country,
The forti6cation of Luzon, the strength
cujng Of The navy. the fortifcnton of
Pearl harbor in Hawaii are all links
in a chain TO bind the Philippines TO
the United States and to create high
way through the Pacific over which
the commerce of this country may go
unchallcnged. -

LIKES OUR STYLE.

When lady gets a new suit and
the first time she wears the same,
many notice it, especially If it's a
handsome and attractive suit. It's
the same with newspaper when 1t
gets new dress of type Perhaps
the average reader does not notice a
new dress of type as much as news
paperman, only that it prints nice
and clear. Its an event that does
not happen often in newspaper
office and therefore such should be
mentioned. The WAUsAU PILor came
TO us week or so ago with new
dress and looked as pretty as a sixteen
year old girl wearing her first long
dress. The PILOT, by the way, is one
of the oldest and best weeklies in
Northern Wisconsin, and has seen
Wausau grow from small hamlet to
the hustling city that it now is. Its
always a pleasure TO read the PILOT
and we hope that Bro. Thayer may pre-
side over the same for many years to
come. -Shawano Advocate.

FOREST FIRES.

AS though in mockery of the des-
truction wrought in this territory of
the state last spring, summer and
autumn, forest fires have again brok-
en- out in Northern Wisconsin, and
unless copious rains come soon there
will be great loss of standing timber.
Last week about 100000 feet of logs
and large quantity of cedar belong
ing to the Roddis Veneer Co. of
Marshfield, was destroyed near Park
Falls. Up in the lake St. German
country another fire is reported and
in numerous other sections of the
state, fires have started. People living
in the southern section of this city
had scare a few days ago when a
section of the poplar woods east of
the asylum was burned over. The
leaves which fell last fall are dry and
as there is but scant growth of
weeds and other vegetation at pres
ent it Is very easy matter for small
fire carelessly attended to to become
one of large proportions.
