committee on insular affairs of the
house Of representatives, who was Sc.
lected by the minority members there
Of to investigate conditions in the
PHILIPPINES and ascertain the capacit,
of their people for self-government
provided for in the Wilson admins.
tration's PHILIPPINE independence bill
left Duluth for San Francisco on Sat.
urday night, from which point he will
sail for Manila in an army transpor,
as its only passenger.
The Democratic party is pledged in
its platform of 1912 to grant indie:
pendence to the PHILIPPINES, and this
will be one of the leading questions
at the next session of congress, &C.
cording to the congressman. Although
not necessarily opposed to the prop.
osition, the Republicans in congress
are determined to have full data al
hand before deciding their course, and
to this end Congressman Miller has
been sent on his mission.
The congressman carries with him
letters of introduction from President
Wilson and cabinet officers to high
federal officials in the archipelago
which will mean that he will be given
every courtesy and opportunity to
gather data.
The congressman's task will carry
him far away from civilization, into a
wilderness of jungle, infested with
savage tribes scarcely advanced be.
yond a state Of barbarism. Soldiers
will accompany him part of the way
as he surveys conditions from every
possible angle.
II will make complete tour of the
islands," said the congressman prior
to his departure, land will visit all
the tribes. My first objective point
is Manila, where / will spend ten days
with officials and merchants, getting
their ideas on self-government. ]
have a letter to General Aguinaldo
with whom l expect to confer. YOU
will recall him as the leader of the
Filipino rebels following the forma,
taking over of the islands by the
United States.
"From Manila I will go by rail tt
San Fernando, whence I will ride or
horseback thirty miles through the
mountains to study conditions among
the head hunters. I will be accom-
panied by soldiers. Among the is
lands I will visit are Panay, Deyte
Cebu, Samar, Negros and Mindanoa
In the interior will come in contact
with Moros, and will also visit Par.
aquay, where the recent fight took
place."
In addition to gathering volume
of data upon conditions making fol-
or detracting from capacity for self
government, Mr.. Miller will make an
exhaustive study of agricultural de-
velopment on the islands, the effects
of free trade on the production OF
sugar and tobacco, and educational
facilities and advancement.
II expect to have a grand trip, and
appreciate the opportunity for study
for my own sake as well as for the
country. The journey will be a liberal
education" he said as he boarded the
train.

SOCIALIST CARD KEPT HIM
FROM GOING TO JAIL

The fact that George Wagner is a
socialist and that he carried on his
person his membership card in one of
the socialist locals at Duluth, kept
him from going to the county Jail at
Duluth last Friday, when he was
found guilty OLA charge of vagrancy
in municipal court before Judge Car
ey. Wagner came here short time
ago to work with other laborers for
the Canadian Northern. Although
well read and exceptionally bright
mentally, Wagner has been reduced to
common labor to make living. He is
securing in this way data to be used
in the publication of a book which
will be published by him for circula-
ton among American Socialists,
treating Of labor conditions at close
range. When Wagner was sent to
work for the Canadian Northern he
was assigned to sleeping quarters in a
box car with tramp who was so fil-
thy personally that the idea Of occu-
pying the samebox car with him was
distasteful to Wagner. Wagner went
down town and asked local socialists
to provide bed for him. Every ho-
tel in the city was full. He was sent
to three but could not be accommodate
ed and finally went down to the C. N.
yards and crawling into clean, emp
ty box-car lay down to sleep. A short
time after he was arrested by the po-
lice. He was without money and q
charge Of vag1ancy was preferred
against him. His fine and costs
amounted to 8. So. Wagner sought
out . local Jewish socialist who, al
though he had never seen him before
readily loaned him the money on his.
card and he went his way rejoicing.

$500 for His Clothes.

Uncle Sam demands that his army Of

splendent. on certain occasions. This
demand costs money-so00 for an out

where does this money come from?
Many people answer right away that
Uncle Sam pays for all the gold lace
and braid. Not SO. however. Mr.. Of
ficer pays for it
And while Uncle Sans officers are
reimbursing tailors to the amount of
$500 or more for a complete outfit, army
officers abroad are getting of at such
low rates as $50 a suit. Even American
army men say that many of the foreign
uniforms look and wear better.

News of his declination will not come
officially through the White House or

Francis of Missouri, and William

strongly backed for the place, but it is
not at all certain that a dark horse"

The offer Of the German amba ssador-

has neither been accepted nor declined.
John r Mott. a prominent Y ". {. A.
