When William Cameron Forbes
emerged from the classic shades
of Harvard in '92, he decided
that the way to be a business
man and a producer-which, to
his way of thinking, was about
the best little thing that ever
could happen to a person-was
to get into business.
Forbes became a builder of
railroads and public utility COM
panies in New England and Nova
Scotia. He worked harder than
anyone in his employ and doubled
the fortune his father had left
which was some fortune. He was
made vice governor of the Philip
pine islands in 1908 and governor
general a year later. During his
term Of service in the Philippines
Forbes has done wonders. He has

session Of the legislature. Bills to
that end, one particularly endorsed by
the state administration, are now be-
fore the lawmakers, and while Gov

no part in their passage, his disincli-
nation to oppose them is taken to
mean virtual acquiescence in the ex-
clusion Of the little brown men. The
gist of the bills now before the legis-
