|FILIPINOS DEMAND
REPUBLIC Or OWN
Legislative Programme Is
Drawn Up by Qnezon.
ONLY SOLUTION OF PROBLEM
Resident Commissioner Says Many
Democratic al Wen as Republican
Members Of Congress Favor End OF
sovereignty-Americ Employees
Opposed Because of self-interests.

Among the Democrats Of the Senate and
the House there is unanimity OF opinion
that the Philippine Islands should be
free. Many Republican Representatives
and Senators privately agree with the
Democratic members that the islands
should be set up as an independent re-
public, but for political reasons the Re-
publIcans viii follow President Taft and
oppose any Philippine legislation.
Outside of the duty the United States
owes TO itself and the world not to oppose
or hold In subjugation an alien and un-
willing people, members Of Congress free
ly express their belief that the islands
viii be a serious menace to this country
in time Of war and are gigantic and
unwarranted expense in time Of peace.
Opposition to consideration of any legis-
lation looking 10 Philippine Independence,
even such a law as would give assur-
ances TO the Philippines that they would
get their Independence at the end of a
designated term of years, comes only
from the administration. President Taft
and his advisers declare that the work
of fitting the Filipinos for self-govern-
ment has not progressed far enough.
He has as a sympathetic audience only
the American employees OF the island gov
ernment men generally Of Republican
faith, who are drawing salaries In the
Orient that are triple and sometimes four
times greater than their extreme earn
ing capacity here.
Means More Soldiers.
These employees who participate in a
daily expense Of g, 600 for maintaining
the island government, an estimated ex-
pense owing to the inability of Congress
to find out Just what the islands now and
have cost the taxpayers of the United
States, have warm supporters In the
army officers and the boosters Of great
er army. The retention of the islands
means more soldiers. more soldiers means
more officers and many details Of these
officers to the Philippines. which details
are accompanied by greater authority,
and what 10 more important to them.
greater pay.
Controverting President Taft's expressed
belief that the F1lipinos have to be
schooled @ much longer time before their
country is turned over to them Is Presi-
dent Schurman, Of Cornell University, a
man fitted to weigh and dissect the men,
tai fitness Of a nation. He studied the
Filipinos in the Philippines and declares
unhesitatingiy that they are fifty years
advanced over the Cubans, who Jared
much better at the hands OF the United
States.
While there is a unanimity OF opinion
among the dominant party In the House
Of Representatives that the islands should
be free, there are few who have given

SIO,NE AND IDOL 30,

some 800 feet long by $50 wide, is surrounded
three sides by terrace 10 to Is feet high.
The interior sides of this are stepped so that
standing in the center of the plaza the effect is
that Of a sunken court surrounded on all sides
but one with tiers Of stone seats or benches.
The southern or open side is occupied by a
small pyramid about 20 feet high, which,
standing midway between the ends of the ter
race, appears to inclose the area. This pyra-
mid, because of its central position with refer
ence to the Great Plaza, must have been a
much more important structure than its size
would now seem to Indicate Standing on It's
summit and looking northward, a great open
air auditorium lies at ones feet. Tier upon
tier Of stone benches rising around its sides,
and five great monumental states, posted
like gigantic sentinels guarding its sacred pre-
cints.
This mound, so conspicuously located on the
open side OF the Great Plaza, attracted the at
tention Of the English traveller and archaelol-
ogist, Mr.. A. P. Maudslay, who visited Copan
in 1855. spending several months there In pho
tograhping and making molds of the sculptures
and In studying the ruins He cleared It's
sides and excavated It. The summit, he says,
is very small and shows no signs of any build
ing ever having stood there. Digging through
the floor he sank shaft into the interior Of
the pyramid and found at depth of six feet
from the top an earthen pot which contained
several jade beads, few pearls, Jade spin
die whorl, perforated disk, and some roughly
carved pieces of pearl shell. The bottom of
the pot was covered with some finely ground
cinnabar and several ounces of quick silver.
Fragments Of human bones were taken out
during the course of these excavations and.
finally, at depth of nine feet below the level
Of the plain a skeleton Of a jaguar
covered
The use of this pyramid without building
of any kind surmounting 1t must forever re-
main a mystery Perhaps here in full view of the
assembled inhabitants of the ancient city were
practiced the bloody rites of human sacrifice;
or perhaps the DEGREES Of rules or the omens
from above were handed down. Who can say
now? One thing alone seems reasonably GER
tain; the close proximity and commanding
air auditorium as the Great Plaza indicates
that 1t formerly played some very important
part in the life Of Copan.
The most interesting feature of the Great
Plaza, however, is not this pyramid, but the
great sculptured monuments, which are scat
tered here and there around the Enclosure. or
these, five are now standing and three lie pros
trate They average not far from IL feet In
height and are about ~ feet in breadth. The
general treatment of them all Is much the
same. The side facing the plaza Is uniformly
sculptured with the likeness of human be-
ing sometimes of one sex and sometimes OF
the other, carved In very high relief, which, in
places amounts to sculpture In the round. The
clothing and headdnesses of these figures
exceedingly ornate.

not have embraced onefourth of the period Of
building activity at Copan.
Again, as we shall see, the hieroglyphic in
scriptions at Copan indicate that it was far
older than any of the Yucatan sites, and that
1t probably had been abandoned many years
before the rise Of the great northern cities
Still another reason for doubling that Copan
was coonized from Yucatan arise when we ex-
anime the historical data bearing each. All
the early writer's, native well Spanish,
with the exception of Palacio above quoted,
pass over the great southern metropolis In abb
solute silence; but when they come to describe
Yucatan nearly all of them mention the two
largest Of the ancient cities there, Chichen
TIA and Uxmal, and in some instances even
give brief outlines of their history.
The striking absence of tradition relating
to such an extensive site Copan can only
indicate one thing-that its fall and subse-
quent desoation had outived the memory of
man even at the time of the Spanish Conquest
In 1880; and a generation later, when Palacio
visited the place, 1t had been forgotten so long
that he was unable to find out anything about
It's former history except the very dubious ira
dition given above.

YOAKUM'S TALK BEARS FRUIT
Farmers. Realizing Excessive Cost of
Distributing Their Products. Turn
to Cooperation.

The recent address at College, Tex
by b. f. Yoakum, the railroad mag
nate, appears to have furnished a
text to many Of the Oranges, and they
are discussing the matter in lively
fashion all over the country
Mr.. Yoakum pointed out the start
ling fact that while the consumers
of this country paid over $4,000, 900,
900 for the farm products they used
the past year. yet the farmers who
raised those products received only
$4,000. 900, 000-making the cost of dis
tribGting the products of the farm
great& than that of raising them! He
was giving an address before the Tex,
as FarmeTs' congress on High Cost of
Marketing,' and he detained the
truth, whi&h none of his hearers
could disputAx that cost of $1,000, OOO,-
900 for marketing $4,000, 100000 worth
of products W as absurd in the ex-
IRENE.
Mr.. Yoakum's Vigorous suggestions
have therefore giSen added force to
the Grange movemSnt already in op'
Grafton in many paris OF the country
for cooperative selling of farm prod
ucts; and many sectidns and Oranges
are now earnestly discussing the mat
ter who were not Interested until Mr..
Yoakum let in such a flood of light on
the question. Certainly there is no
more legitimate and pTactical line
Of Grange effort than cooperative sell,
ing of farm products.
