An experiment To demonstrate 4 plan

Filipino Independence

Chairman William 4. Jones of the
house insular affairs committee and
Representative L. j. Garrett, its sec
ond ranking member, are the fathers
of the recently constructed party bill
for Philippine independence. Quail
fed or probationary independence for
eight years from July 4, 1913. until
July 4. 1921, and after that full indie
pendence was the plan OF the leaders
of the Democratic house of represent
atives. During the period of qualified
independence it was provided that the
Filipinos eject their own congress, COM
posed of house and senate. and have
president. the latter TO be appointed
bv the president Of the United States
subject to confirmation by the United
States senate \ supreme court and
inferior courts were also urged. but no
change was recommended in the judi
ciary system beyond the appointment
of judges by the Philippine president
While the eight year probationary
period lasts the foreign relations of
the islands. according to the party
bin. would be under the control Of the
American government. After July +.
1927. the Fiipinos would receive full
and complete independence by the bill.
No reservation is attached TO this pro-
vision. There was no mention in the
bill Of what would happen in the event
Of the failure of the FilipinOs to dem
onstrate their capacity for self gov
eminent during the eight years of their
qualified independence.

A LOT OF TRUTH IN THIS
BETTER ROADS NEEDED FIRST

The Dunn County News last week had
the following timely comment on road
matters:
Dickinson is to have a Great White
Way covering twelve blocks. Dunn
countians have had no trouble hereto
fore in seeing around the city after
night. but they do have considerable
trouble in getting into the city with
load from the north country even in
broad daylight. A Great White Way is
beautiful to the eye, but after travelling
forty miles over the worst road imagin-
able the average farmer loses his enthu-
sism for the citi6ed appearance and
soft light.
A good road from northern Dunn
county into Dickinson will be almost
as great blessing to the farmers good
crops in 1912. What great hardship it
is for the farmer to haul heavy loads
forty and fifty miles over roads that are
in the worst possible condition. Dick
inson merchants and business men in
all lines get the benefit of this heavy
traffic into their city, and it is asking
a great deal to expect a farmer to put
up with existing conditions year after
year without a erowl. Is there busi-
ness man in Dickinson whose yearly
profits are not added to by Dunn county
farmers? Dunn countians are willing
to put time and money into this; good
road proposition. Can we be assured of
financial assistance from Dickinson g
business men and commercial oreaniza-
tiOns?

BANkEY HOUSE BURNS
PA0LI P. 0. At ONE Time

On May 18th the house on W. F.
Bankey's farm, about eight miles south
west of Bowman. was destroyed by fire
together with its contents. At the
time of the fire it was occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Floyd Bankey, who moved out
there but few weeks ago. Wednesday
they were clearing up about the place
and burning tumble weeds which they
had raked up. when gust of wind
blew the fire to the house, and the
structure was soun in flames.
This house was built by the Bankeys
about eight years ago and until year
ago it was the Paoli postoffice, and was
one of the landmarks between Dickin-
son and Camp Crook before the railroad
was built. At one time it was the only
postoffice for forty miles, and the cattle-
men from all over the country had to 60
to Paoli for their mail. The mail was
then carried from Yule by Frank Hous-
ton. who now has the contract between
here and Buffalo. Yule got the mail
from the railroad at Sentinel Butte,
The Bankeys had many articles stored
in the house and these were destroyed.
Some of them were keepsakes that they
had had for years, and they cannot be
replaced.

Comes About June %. Free
Lunch and Other
Entertainment.

Chairman Fred Turner called the Com
mercial Club entertainment committee
together the past week regarding the
Better Farming Train which comes to
Dickinson about Saturday, June 22nd,
and it was decided that the city would
furnish all visiting farmers free din
ner and other entertainment for the
day. A fuller announcement can be
made by another week, but it is certain
that the farmers, their wives and chill
dren will have free dinner and free
amusement in some form in addition to
the benefits of the Grand exhibit that
the ten cars the Northern Pacific Co.
brings under the direction of the North
Dakota Agricultural College.
The Better Farming Train means all
the advantages of a farmers institute
with all the best lectures of the North
west, together with live stock, machin-
cry, grain and other exhibits from the
state agricultural college. and practical
demonstrations of different kinds. The
Better Farming Train work will be
divided into periods so that farmers
who are pressed for time can attend in
the morning and return in the after
noon.
It will be we'll worth the days time
and farmers should make it point to
attend. 1t will be as good as a day at
