sCHOOLBOYs IN TRANSIT.

When grandpa started out to school
Each morning, long ago,
He tramped along the country road
With younger folk in tow;
A-whistling in his simple glee,
He walked a mile or two or three
Now daddy, not SO long ago,
When he was a little tike,
With auntie on the handlehars

A-splnning down the village street,
As gay sight as YOU could meet

Although it isn't far.
I'm bundled carefully and sent
In whiz2ing motor-car.

THE PHILIPPINES AGAIN.

What to do with the Philippines is a
very serious question for the Wilson
administration. The party platform dealt
with it in that easy off-hand way which !
platforms have of dealing with great
questions. 1t was simple enough, said |
the platform in effect 1t was simple |
enough for an ant-impcrialst party like !
the party of Thomas jefferson to deal |
with this knotty problem Every step |
taken would be taken with a view to the }
independence of the islands. That sound |
ed well and seemed general enough to |
allow room to do whatever should be
best when the problem came up. But the |
Very first speech Of the new Governor
General took occasion to demonstrate
that by this plank was meant nothing
go drastic as immediate abdicatlon of our
place in the islands. This speech was
the more notable inasmuch as it was
understood to have been dictated in its
most important parts by the President.
The overwhelming testimony OF all dis
interested persons having acquaintance
that the state of civilization there is not
such as to warrant sclf-government or
anything like it. They say that the more
power the natives have, the worse will
be their condition. They say that the
ideals and standards of these people have
not had time to develop along Anglo
Saxon lines. They say tpat 10 fit out
these natives with an AAglu-SaXon sys-
TEN Of self-government and then expect
them to look after themselves. would
be like putting a mans suit OF clothes
on little boy and asking him not
to trip over the coat-tails or let them
drag.
The attitude of our democratic friends
now that they are confronted by the
problem would seem good evidence OF
the truth of these claims. Aside from
a few meaningless changes in the island
government they seem to have nothing
to offer
The specific objection to government
of the Philippines by F'ilipinos is that it
would have the effect of putting the
masses Of the inhabitants at the mercy
of the few educated and ambitious sharks
Of their own villages, commonly known
as polticos. These polticos, II we are
to believe the testimony of Americans
best acquainted with the islands hare
just education enough to be dangerous
but not cultivation enough to be gen
erous and public-sprited. The demand
for independence in so far as there Is
such demand is said to come from this
minority class. If they were given power,
the result would be "A general scramble
of polticos for power each one attempt
ing to surpass the other until someone
stronger or more ruthless than others
put himself in possession OF the supreme
power and became dictator, precisely as
Diaz, and after him Huerta, did In Mex
leo. 1t is doubtful If the cause of free
1om would be served by thus opening
Ihe door to a dictatorship IN the Philip
pines.
The problem in its strictly party as
pect is rendered more difficult by the ex-
cellent administration given the islands
by the republicans. Buildings have been

TO REDUCE The

Not Diminishing, the Supply
Of American Cattle

II Congress will even reduce the
duty on cattle and meat to the low
level of protection now given the
shoe industry there might be some
thing accomplished in the way of
reducing the high cost of living
We wonder.
From what country or countries is

pie of the United States II the cat
tie raisers in this country of produc-
ing less and less meat food because
of the unsatisfactory returns on their
business, how can anybody suppose
that they would produce more meat
food If the returns were to be still
lower? The trade paper admits that
there has been a steady decline in
the raising of cattle for beef; but no

ready-made suits. These poor devils
a few hundred millions Of them, are

are going to make a lot of money
exploiting them. 1t might as we'll be

Outside Of the United States the

American supply itself is extingulsh-

CAUSE SCENES
OF VIOLENCE
Speaker and Speaker Pro Tenn OF
Wyoming House Come
To Blows

Cheyenne, Wyo, Jan 2O.-Scenes
of violence which lasted fully three
quarters Of an hour and which inclu-
ded two separate encounters between
Speaker Martin l.. Pratt, and Speak
er Pro TEN. w. J Wood, threw the
lower house of the Wyoming legisla-
ture into hopeless confusion just be-
fore noon today. Absolutely no par
liamentary order obtained and the
scene was only ended by an agree
ment among the members on the
floor when cool headed leaders of
either faction announced an agree
ment to let matters stand just as
they were until Q o'clock this after
noon. Both Pratt and Wood claimed
authority over the house and with
Wood sitting in the speakers chair
and Pratt welding the gavel the
show of authority seemed about equ-
al either way.
The immediate occasion of the
trouble was the attempt of Speaker
Pratt to call to the chair f. c. Hun
| ter Republican, of Carbon county. An
appeal had been taken from the
speakers ruling upon the offer of
substitute committees by the Demo-
Gratis for those he had submitted and
in which he himself held the balance
! of power upon the two important
committees, rules and elections. Mr..
| Hunter took the chair and Pratt
went to Hunters seat on the floor.
Judge Metz, Democrat, arose and de-
clared that the speaker could not
designate any other than the speak
err pro TEN, to take the chair and
called upon Representative w. ].
Wood Of Crook county, speaker pro
TEN. and Democrat, to preside.
This Wood proceeded to do and Hun
ter yielded the chair to him.
Thrown From Platform
Thereupon Pratt started to re-
sumo the chair himself. Wood sat
staunchly in his place until Pratt
grasping him by the shoulders with
both hands threw him violently on
the platform. Wood struck on both
hands and his face. but promptly
arose and rushed back to the chair
again. The men grasped each other
until Chaplain Davidson and Others
on the platform held them momentar
lily.
WELDING his gavel, which he hac
gotten hold Of in the melee, Pratt
declared the house adjourned. Hav
ing the prestige Of the speaker:
