INDEPENDENCE FOR THE PHILIPPINE

whether ultimately successful or not
would involve the sacrifice OF tens
OF thousands of American lives and
the expenditure of billions of public
money does not admit of two opin
ions"
Our trade with the Philippines has
more than doubled since 1909. This
gratifying result may be attribute0
to the free trade relations now ex-
isting between the United States and
the Philippines. Our total trade with
the Philippines was Sl4,000,000 up to
the end OF February. 1909, for the
corresponding period in the present
fiscal year it is $30,000,0O0 Tbs To-
tai is expected to reach $tO,oOG,0GO
by June 80, next, which would keep
the ratio of increase ajpd5 level with
articles comprising the export trade

gains in cotton goods and iron and
steel, being particularly noticeable.
Perhaps, when another decade has
rolled by and benefits of unfettered
commercial trading are more fully
realized the whole tariff policy OF
this and other protective countries
will crumble and fall Of It's own
weight. We have changed our view
radically in ten years on the protect
i've issue. Perhaps in another decade
we may be ready to take the lead
in a world wide movement for free
trading.

Bryan Stampede Planned.

Des Moines, la, May 6.-Plans to-
engineer a stampede in favor of w.
J. Bryan for presidents at the state
democratic convention at Burlington,
May l6, and to follow this up by pre-
senting the Nebraskan's name to the
nation developed today, following
secret conference of the Iowa Bryan
league last night.
The league was organized about a
month ago with Charles G.. Jolly Of
Des Moines president. The fact that
it was in existence did not develop
until after the conference last night,
when a public statement, urging Mr.
Bryan's candidacy for president was
issued.

Odd Uses OF Electricity.

1t is planned to illuminate Niagara
Falls every night.
About $4,000 steam locomotives in
the United States have electric head
lights.
An electrically driven machine that
weighs less than 80 pounds has been
invented to scrub floors,
Occupying but little room in a
house is a new clothes dryer in which
garments may be dried by electricity.
An electric vehicle is on trial in
Sweden for collecting garbage, and
if it proves successful, horses will
be supplanted for this p/pose.
Only since the Introduction of high
speed electric machinery into the in
dustry has it been possible to cut
a diamond across the grain.
An electric elevator in New
York Office building that travels tc
a height of 5S5 feet on each trip is
believed to hold the worlds record.
Throughout the northern country
during the past severe winter cleo
tricity was extensively used to thaw
out frozen water pipes, In New
York City 40C such cases were han
died in one week. With the aid of
electricity the pipes can be thawed
without digging up the frozen ground.
1t is quite surprise to a pedes-
trian to be walking down city
street on cold winter morning and
see in several store windows electric
fans going at full speed Just as
in the scorching summer days. These
fans prevent the moisture from set

where it would be quickly turned in

These are times in which party
lines are being largely eliminated in
that different schools of thought are
being created with the two great
political parties, leaders are being ar
rayed against leaders and interne-
cine strife and contention prevail. 1t is
an alignment in which predatory priv
ilege is warning with the interests of
the people. Decisions Of courts. of
quasi judicial tribunals, rulings OF
commissions, acts Of congress and
the various state legislatures are
having an anomalous result. The
people are discontented, business is
stagnant, results are in doubt, peo-
pie are dubious. There are constant
ly arising new conditions, and rem
edies must be created to meet these
changing conditions.
In order to see just what the peo-
pie should do for their own good,
the ArdmoreIte opens the following
contest:

A Homo Institution FOR Home Men.

1t has been said that the neatest
home on Caddo street is the one built
by share holder in the Peoples
Building and Loan Association, with
money secured from that institution.
Be that as it may, this home is evil
dence of two things, that this associa-
tion is help to the one who would
help himself and that it only loans
money on the best security.
The lot upon which the house in
question was built was owned in fee
simple by the borrower and the
monthly payments which he is max
ing are rendering the security more
and more gilt edged every day.
For safe investment every day,
one where your money is secured by
steadily advancing real estate values
it would be hard to find better op-
portunity than is offered by this COM
pany.
The president of the association, as
well as the secretary is a man who
is known to every one in Ardmore as
a straightforward and an upright bus
mess man. The people of this city
recognized his integrity and ability
as business man when they elected
lin their mayor, and in the business
world he is recognized as a success.
This can also be said OF the secre-
tary, W. A. Edwards, who will gladly
give any full information upon the
plans and ideas Of the association.

TWENTY YEAR ENDOWMENT.
In the Peoples Building and Loan
Association.

A 2O-year endowment policy taken
out at the age of 20 or 80 gears
costs the investor between $45 and
$50 per year. At the end of 20 years
he draws down $1,000 in cash. No
more than he has paid in. 1t has
been simply savings bank for him
and one which has paid no interest
on his deposits.
At any age one can begin pavinS
1892 in monthly installments of $3.50
each with the Peoples Building and
Loan Association, and at the expira-
ton of from 20 to 20 years draw
down $500. There is no question
about this being a fact any more
than there is question of the en-
dowment policy being fact. The
life insurance companies and the
Building and Loan companies are
both old line institutions, and have
both proven themselves, by their
growth as the greatest financial in
stitutions in the world today.
A number of years ago the life
insurance companies got in bad and
laws were enacted regulating them.
The same can be said of building and
loan associations. They were both
in the same boat, and both are gov.
erned by and restricted by laws to.
day which render each of them a
safe investment. The difference il
that the insurance affords you q
safe deposit place for your earnings
without paying you interest thereon
and the Building and Loan Associa-
ton pays you the top rate Of inter
est and is an investment of the strict
est safety. The banking ceparmeu:
regulates all building and loan as
sociations which is in itself a guar
antee of the solidity OF the invest
ment. We have such an institution
here. For full information see

(By Winfield Jones.)

Washington, May 7.-Independence
for the Philippine Island in 1921 is
provided for in report submitted to
the house of representatives recently
mittee on insular affairs The report
provides for gradual taking over
by the Philippines of the duties of
government, leading up to the date
mentioned, and in the meanwhile pro-
yides for the negotiation OF treaties
with the world powers for the neu-
tralization of the islands. Chairman
Jones says in the report that the
menace to the peace and happiness
Of the American people which i?
claims lies in the definite retention
of the islands, lis not to be compared,
in the judgment of the opposition to
independence, to the harm which
they fear may result to the Filipinos
if they are prematurely given the
independence which they crave, and
to which, it Is admitted, they will
some day be entitled
Chairman Jones refuted the chara =
that the Filipinos are not a homo
genous people claiming by statistics
from the census office that the
islands are distinguished by a great
er homogenity than the United States
own population. He also cites the
spread of education throughout the
islands as convincing argument
that the Fiipinos are working to-
ward the day when independence will
be the logical end OF the present pro-
blems.
Chairman Jones is of the opinion
that the islands would be a constanl
menace to the peace and we'll being
of the American people. On this point
he says:
Instead of constituting a source Of
strength to the United States in the
event of war with first class naval
power, they would, by reason of their
geographical position, become one Of
great weakness. Had not the Spanish
army and navy been so fully occu-
pied with the war in Cuba the story
of Dewey's engagement in Manila
might have been one of different i'm.
port. To fortify and defend all the
principal ports of the Philippine
Islands would require more moneY,
ships, armies and munitions of war
than even country possessing tue
enormous resources of the United
States could command, and If, there
fore, the purpose in holding TO the
Philippines is merely to maintain IN
the orient base for military and
naval operations plan for tnat pur
pose can much more readily and
more effectively be accomplished By
retaining only the naval bases, har-
borage waters and coaling stations
provided for in the measure under
consideration.
"As to whether or not the United
States could successfully defend the
Philippine Islands against first
class naval power'is a question about
which there may be honest differeI-
ces of opinion. That the defense
