After Dinner Speaking
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of AT Good Old Siwasb,7

A FTER dinner speaking Is a mu-
~ tual sorrow which Is shared with
1 n great loyalty by the speaker and
the speakees. 1t Is part Of-the price OF
the dinner-the second 1nstalment, which
is PAYABLE Immediately after the Sene-
gambian coffee has been slipped and the
extravagant cigars IN red and gold uni
forms have been lighted.
After dinner speaking originally con
sisted of humor and frivolity, with a

lined at home.
Nowadays, after dinner speaking IS a
duty and the dinners are provided IN
order to repay the crowds for listening
to the speeches. In order to hold thou
sand men through three four furlong
I speeches on irrigation, conversation and
the necessity of differential rates, 1t Is
necessary to seat them at tables where
they can't get out. Instead of selling
oratory at 81 per head per listener, 1t Is
now necessary to give away a seven
course dinner as a bonus.
This is largely because speech making
has changed. Formerly a speaker tried
to see how long he could soar on the
wings of metaphor without falling oil.

READY
Native Teachers Say Yankees Have
Have No Confidence In Islanders

That the Philippines are at the
stage in their development when they
are ready to be law unto themselves
was the sentiment voiced by Profes-
sor Alahandro Albert, head of the de-
partment OF chemistry and physics
in Lucco De Manila College, who
took occasion to express himself rel
ative to this great question when he
was in this part of the state recently.
Professor Albert is conducting a tour
OF the United States accompanied
with twenty young natives OF the is
lands who are giving the people in
this country an exhibition OF the way
they play ball in the Philippines.
His experience as teacher for many
years in the islands and his promin-
ence in politics has afforded him a
wonderful opportunity to become ac-
quainted with the people and what
they are most desirous of obtaining.
Prof. Albert said in part the fol-
lowing on the general condition of
the islands;
'In making the assertion that my
people are now at the right period
when they should have self-govern-
ment, | do so with the greatest sim
cerity and after years of close study
into the conditions that prevail
throughout the islands, The Philip
pino is misjudged a great deal by the
people in this country. The citizens
Of the United States are carried along
under the illusions of the daily press,
which | am sorry to say are eXag-
gerated to a great extent. There are
uprisings in certain parts of the is
lands, but not to the extent they are
pictured in the papers. Another con-
dition in the solving of which lies
the future prosperity of the Philip
pines and the United States to a GER
tain degree is that the Yankees do
not have any confidence in the Phil
ipppines. They are afraid TO make
proper investments that would be a
great benefit to themselves and to
the islands.
Zone of the strongest arguments
that | could mention to show the de-
sire of my country to rule themselves
and that they are capable and con-
scientious, is the way education is
being received throughout the islands.
Last year there were over 100000
students in the government schools
and still there was not room for all
who wanted to attend; 100000 had to
be placed on the waiting list. These
figures included government schools
and do not take in the students in at
tendance at private schools Educa-

tion is one of the things that is close
to the Philippine. He sees the value
of it.
The Philippines are not anxious to
have the United States usher in a
new line of industries. There is no
need Of such a thing What they
want is to develop their natural re-
sources. Hidden in the soil of the is
lands is great wealth Of minerals
and rising above these is timber
enough to support the islands for
years to come The Philippines want
money invested with the confidence
of the American people that there
are treasures to be garnered. And it
is coming. People are gradually be-
ginning to realize after considering
the amount of sugar and tobacco and
the wonderful opening for agricul-
tural pursuits, that this is one of the
richest countries in the world where
money is invested with no fear of
depreciation.
81 am glad to say that the Moros
will soon be completely destroyed
The Moros are not really down deep
in their hearts Philippines. They
are not in sympathy with us and what
we are trying to accomplish. They
want to keep out the Christian reli-
gion and all western ideas. They
are Mohammedans, fanatical and
easily aroused because of their hos
tility brought on by the fact that they
believe they have not been treated
Justly. The Moros are the only dis
turbing element now present in the
island.
There would be no doubt in the
mind Of any American, unless he was
prejudiced as he looked upon the as
sembly gathered to suggest matters
of legislature, of the sincerity of the
people when they ask for self-govern-
ment There are men elected to the
assembly who leave business affairs
Of great proportions to assist in
managing the affairs Of their country
The members Of the commission that
co-operated with the United States
commission is composed Of the men
educated in business and the affairs
of the world, who have the one de-
sire burning in their breasts, namely,
to make the Philippines worthy OF
the trust and respect Of the other
nations.
