MANILA. December 19.-'In all
matters affecting the commercial or
any other development Of these islands
it must not be forgotten that the peo-
pie come first The people of the Phil
ippines have resolved upon independ-
euce. They desire to become a nation
and to enter into the great family OF
nations. They stand ready to do
everything possible TO advance the
commercial interests of their country
and the assembly will more than vel
come any suggestions from this body
of distinguished merchants or any
other organization Of mercantile inter
ests looking to this end"
with the above words the Hon. Ser
gio Osmena, speaker of the Philippine
Assembly, last night closed an address
which he had been invited to deliver
before the Merchants Association, an
address which, from the time the dis
tinguished statesman and splendid ora
tor rose at a little before 3 o'clock
until he sat down shortly before ! held
his audience in rapt attention. 1t was
a remarkable speech, clear and con
else. and will 90 down IN the historY
of the association as one Of the best
forensic efforts ever delivered before
its members.
The members of the association had
been advised that not only Mr.. Os-
mena, but also Captain Robert Dollar
and Mr.. McWhae member of the Aus
tralian Parliament, would address
them. but owing to the lateness Of the
hour when Mr.. Osmena concluded,
they refrained.
Milton e. Springer, president of the
Merchants Association, introduced Mr.
Osmena, and the speakers speech,
which was delivered in Spanish, was
interpreted by Rupert Ferguson. In
his opening remarks Hr. Osmena ac
knowledged the honor that had been
conferred upon him by being request
ed to address the assembled mer
chants He desired, he said, to assure
the merchants that he had great iii
terest in the matters which were en-
gaging the attention of the Merchants
Association, and was very glad indeed
to be brought into contact with the
men who were devoting their minds
and faculties to solving the CONNER
cial problems confronting the country
His subject. The Commercial Legisla

Iippines," was so vast that he couN

that all, those in commerce and those
in the government, should cooperate
to this end He said that he believed
and the Assembly, he believed, thought
as he did, in the abolition of the eX-
port duties on the principal products
of the islands, as for instance, hemp,
copra and tobacco
Mr. Osmena said also that many
people said that the government should
not enter into competition with the
merchants as in the bureau of supply,
the workshops of Bilibid and the Ice
plant, and that he himself considered
that the government should only take
up new enterprises and new indus
tries.
In closing, Mr.. Osmena said that he
believed that Manila should be made a
free port and that statistical bureau
should be inaugurated here, where
both the government and the mer-
chants could get reliable information
on conditions as they existed here.
The speaker assured all the merchants
present that the Assembly was very
anxious to receive suggestion any time
and that the members of the associa.
ton and all other business men of the
islands would always receive ready

RIPENINe PINEAPPLEs.

A ride through miles of ripening
pineapples is one of the pleasures OF
many of the tourists who come to the
islands. The Oahu Railway Company
with it's hotel connections at Haleiwa,
has made an inspection of the fruit
possible at cost of ten dollars. The
little journey includes accommoda.
tons and meals at Haleiwa, a good
nights rest and a delightful drive dur.

be taken looking towards this end.
In the matter of the labor question
here Mr. Osmena said that the people
were unalterably opposed to bringing
labor from abroad to work in the
islands, and quoted Major General Nc
Arthur and David p. Barrows, former
director of the bureau of education,
both of whom conceded i'm the opinion
that although it might be beneficial
for the islands as far as the present
output was concerned to have import
ed labor it would be detrimental in
the long run and should not be done.
In the matter of the work animal
question Mr.. Osmena said that the
legislature was even then concerning
itself with measures to cope with that
problem.
Mr.. Osmena said that the Assembly
and the people in the islands sener-
ally were in favor of irrigation prof.
ects, but that it was decided that the
work be entrusted to competent irnga-
ton engineers and that the fees re-
sulting therefrom should be placed to
the benefit of the irrigation project.
-Four Years Legislation.
Mr.. Osmena then rapidly reviewed
the more important legislative enact
ments of the past four years as AFFECT
ing the commercial prosperity and
well-being of the islands. Among
these he mentioned the P15,OOO appro-
priated for the carnival, the P2OO,OOO
for the construction of a new custom
house in Cebu, P1OO,0OO to be used i'll
fighting rinderpest, P75O,OOO for irrlGa-
ton purposes, P1,OOOOOO for an agrt-
cultural bank, P15OOOO for cattle quar-
antine purposes, Pl5,OOO as a prize FOR
the inventor who would give a good
CHEAP substitute for nipa roofing, not
claimed yet, P5O,OOO for a Philippine
exposition in 1912. P1S,0OO for obser-
vatory supplies, the bankruptcy and in
solvency act, the law of negotiable in
struments, the law providing for a
term of two years during which goods
can remain in bonded warehouses, the
law providing that loans can now be
made by the Agricultural bank on zeal
estate in Manila, Cebu and lloilo, the
confirming of old Spanish mining
grants in various localities, quarterly
reports by municipal presidents re-
garding the conditions of the crops in
their districts, funds for sugar test
ing laboratory in Iloilo and Manila and
concessions of grants to railway com
panies and telegraph and telephone
lines besides a huge mass of other
legislation.
Friendly to Commerce.
In conclusion. Mr.. Osmena said that
the Assembly always stood ready to
support and assist the commerce and
business men of the islands. That the
greatest problem that remained to be
solved was the agricultural one, and

DECLARES FOR INDEPENDENCE

health permit him to make a long
speech. Neither said Mr. Osmena,
would he burden his hearers with
many statistics, as he did not have the
fullest confidence in these, either from
the government or those secured from
commercial sources.
Increase of Prosperity.
In spite of the typhoons, locusts, rim
derpest, floods, droughts and other
misfortunes, the speaker said, the ma
teral prosperity and business of the
islands had greatly increased. The in
ternal revenue receipts had increased
and agriculture and the mining indus
try had grown more than any other.
He said that there could be no great
increase in manufacturing industries
unless agriculture was augmented, and
that all should not forget that both
should be assisted.
He said that there were splendid
openings in certain fields in the
islands and that for a long time to
come the principal source of revenue
of the islands would of course be ag.
riculture. At the present time all the
exports of the islands were of an agri-
cultural nature, and that in spite OF
the msfortunes mentioned previously

years.
No Land Exploitation.
He said that there were five points
that he desired to bring out: First
the system of small holdings among
the agricultural people; second, the
lack of agricultural credit; third, the
labor question; fourth, the work ami.
NAL question; fifth, the irrigation
question. The speaker expatiated upon
all of these matters in the course OF
his address. He said that the people
were unalterably opposed to the ex
ploitation of the country by individ
uals or corporations in large amounts
than those already provided for by the
laws of the United States. He said
that he did not believe in it himself
and neither did he believe in the grant
ing of large tracts of the friar lands
The speaker said that his auditors OF
no one else could blame the Filipino:
| for not desiring to hypothecate theil
own territory.
Regarding the question of agricul
tural credit the speaker said that IL
spite of the powers that had beer
given the various banks to lend none!

enough and that further steps shoul'

CLOCKS.

Wherever you find civilization. there also you will find the clock busiy reminding man that he Is r. minutes behind tn, world and that unless he hustleS like thunder he will have all the skin on his heels worn off by the onrushing future.
 The world has not always had clocks once mankind told time by the sun alone. Adam counted time by the days and it took him more than 150 years to become grandfather. Then the hour glass was invented and man told time by hours our courts stnl do business at s o'clock until 9 o'clock and most of them are two years behind When the clock was finally devised man began telling time by minutes But clocks are going out of date in hustline countries. because they do not have second hands and the man who does not carry a watch Is likely te overrm hls lunch minute by more than $50 worth of time.
 Clocks are of various sizes and tell time by hours of different sizes. too. The clock in the church sometimes has hours two days long The clocks in the homes of beautiful young daughters have hours which are so short that a young man will frequent ly use up four of them while trying to tell a girl good night Clocks in schools and offices have only two hourS-lunch hour and quitting hour. Tn, clock in congress has wonder ful. elastic hour which is frequently stretched clear out into the next day. at noon.
 Thcrc are three kinds of clock> alarm clocks. real clocks and wedding clocks Alarm clocks tell a man hc ought to get up by exploding in the earlN morning hours with a soul scarifyine din. which they keep up untn Int with chair Formerly mil lions of alarm clocks were sold. but the manufacturers are now making them $" durable and effective that no one will buy them. Alarm clocks ar" useful, but unpopular like alarm statesmen. Real clocks are kept on the Inantel piece and serve to keep thc meals waiting for the husband in- stead uf letting him wait Tor meals. Wedding clocks are used for orna- mcnt and exercise. After d man has wound < wedding clock once a day for a year he has magnlfcently de- vclopcd thumb and foreiinger. bat he is also as likely as not to be living two weeks ahead of the calendar and to be getting his breakfast in the af- ternoon. s1
 Two classes nt men are inveterate clock watchers-lazy men and ann bilious men. The lazy man watches the clock in order to find out just when to stop working. The ambitious man watches il to see If he cant crowd more work into an hour than he did the day before. Clocks are used in all iinc- of business except on branch line railroads where the trains are run by the almanac.

There is one thing which will strike
the student of breeding with peculiar
significance, that is the large proper
ton of female progeny from these in

tons. Banostine Belle has given birth

Whether high feeding pays or not is

The Old Soldiers for Burleieh.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish
a communication from "a man who is
roaming from one end of the State
to the other in the pursuit of his
business, and who deals with men in
alE walks of life. His comment on
the loyalty of the Civil War veterans
to@ Governor Burleigh is familiar to
those in close touch with the former
congressman. Regardless of party,
these men have stood shoulder to
shoulder with Governor Burleigh, as
though he were beloved comrade
and officer.
Governor Burleigh allows no man
to speak i'll of the Civil War heroes
in his presence. He is as loyal to
them as they are to him, and would,
at any time during his IA years SER
vice in Congress, have left his bed at
midnight to aid a veteran, without a
thought of the color of that veterans
vote. That is a specimen of his
natural patriotism and every soldier
is his friend
