The Filipino Aristocracy.
rom the New York Timed

FROM the view 1ork IlmeS
II tho complete inS pendence of the
Philippines were granSed by the United
States within any tree short enough TO
be worth considering, the result would be
to turn the mass of thu, 1000. 600 Christian
natives over to the uIscovenanted mercies
Of a small class Of ngstizos whose Malay
blood has been enrichSd and energized by
q strain of Chinese, who would rule I'M
less or until they set to fighting among
themselves. This is. lin substance. the
view presented by CRpt. George Henry
Shelton. U. s. A.. in a very temperate
and informing article ~ the current num-
Der of the North American Review. Capt
Shelton served for three years in the
islands and made there and since a care
full study of the history and the condi-
ton of the people. Hc has many friends
among the class referred to. He recog-
nizes that 1t has produced many able
and honorable men whS have largely aid
ed the Americans in the administration of
the country. But he :points out that 1t
has practically a monopoly of the force
and capacity of the Population. that. left
in complete control. 1t would be dominant
and domineering. and that it will require
several generations to develop in the body
of the natives the qualities absolutely
necessary for the masntenance of equi-
table and orderly self-ssovernment.

Jane and / had long and at times AMI

ject of a horse and buggy. We agreed
that to have one would be highly desir-
able but the question of money ootrudes
itself The cost of an outfit would make
a serious inroad on our working capital

Jane and Margery ought to get all posi-

that if they are limited to walking areas

was the biggest, quistest crowd in the

Peter Rabbit Watches for
Signs.

Some people never see things because
they never look for them. Peter Rabbit
isn't that kind. My goodness, no! Peter
Is all the time looking and listening. You
see, he Is dreadfully afraid that he will
miss something. So every minute that he
is awake he is looking and listening. 1t
was this way more than ever now. Sister
South Wind had arrived and said that
Mistress Spring was not far behind. and
that she had come to waken all the
sleepers so that they would be ready to
greet Mistress Spring when she did ar
rive.
What puzzled Peter was how gentle Sis
ter South Wind, whose voice was hardly
more than a whisper. walked all the sleep
ers Rough Brother North Wind had
roared and whistled and howled through
the Green Forest and over the Green
Meadows all the long winter without
waking one. In fact, the louder he roared
the farther into dreamland the sleepers
South Wind wandered through the Green
Forest and over the Green Meadows call
ing in Just the lowest, softest voice:
Wake up. wake up. you s!eepers.
Come open wide your peppers
why, one after another they did wake up.
Peter couldn't understand 1t, and hnally
he gave up trying to-
But it was great fun to go about watch
ing for signs that the sleepers had heard
gentle Sister South Wind. Peter would
listen with one long ear against maple
tree. He would hear just the scftest lit
tie sound under the bark, SO soft that you
and l couldn't hear 1t if We tried. Then
Peter would kick up his heels for joy. 1t
was the sap running up to all the
branches and out to the tiniest twigs of

knew that the maple tree was awake.
Then. he would go over to swampy
place where the ice had melted away and
hold his nose while he peeped into the
brown hood of the skunk cabbage to see
1t had dreadful smell, and yet it made
Peter feel good all over. because it
meant that the queer little plant was

awake. Then he would go up in the Greer
Forest to warm, sunny place he knew
of and there he would pull away the dead
leaves of last summer until he found a
tiny. furry cap peeping up above the
ground. Then he knew that dainty little
Hepatica was awake. He would carefully
cover her up again with the dead leaves
that she might not catch cold after which
he would kick up his heels in the fun
niest way. just because it made him feel
SO good.
Everywhere there were signs, If you
had eyes to see and ears to hear them.

HEARD AND SEEN HERE AND
By Earl Goodwin.

Sometimes a fellow comes along who
says that newspaper men are lazy. but
whoever this slanderer might be. he would
have changed his tune had he been In the
House press gallery few days ago
when there was rumor Of the murder of
a congressman.
1t was ten minutes Of 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, just about the hour when the
afternoon work is done and the morning
paper work is about to be collated into
one blazing sheaf to be held aloft like
a beacon of truth to the myriads OF the
breathing spell moment when the men in
the gallery take to seats and couches In
the middle compartment of the gallery
suite to talk over the days events. f.
Richmond Sartwell, tired from good
days work for the Associated Press. lay
down on a couch for two seconds; Fred
Emory, also tired from a similar days
work for the same organization, dropped
into an armchair. Two or three others
wandered in to discuss the latest develop
ments on the Mexican situation and the
Panama canal tolls matter. and Bill Dom
aldson, superintendent of the gallery,
rushed in with this:
"A telephone operator just told me some
one had been assassinated in the House
office building
1t was like an exploding bomb.

did the same thing. Yours Truly rushed

popped little gray pusses. and that was
q sign Farmer Brown had begun to clean
IN his cornield, and that was a sign.
There were signs everywhere. and every
one of them made Peter feel happier.
But most of all Peter listened for sone-
thing that he longed to hear. Every little
while he would sit up and listen and
listen, with his long ears standing straight
UP. Sometimes he would think he heard
it. but he couldn't be sure. Then he would
hold his breath and listen and listen and
listen. What was he listening for? Why,
for the loveliest sound he knows of-the
voice of Winsome Bluebird.
IF / could only hear that, sighed
Peter, then l would know for sure that
Mistress Spring is almost here, for Win
some Bluebird is her herald, and she is
never far behind" And this is how Peter
Rabbit happened to forget all about those
strange tracks he had found deep in the

to The Stars special phone. Bond Geddes
grabbed another instrument. Everybody
put in wild calls for five minutes. talking
to the police stations in the Capitol build
ing and the House office building. Then
they began Fostering the Senate side
but the reports were ignorant walls of
nothing like that over here"
Just at that moment Fred Steckman
came into the gallery and his editor at the
same time called him:
Understand that some one has been
killed. Afternoon paper has an extra out.
What's the trouble?"
The rest Of the gallery was rushing about
like so many wild things. Telephone calls
went flashing to police headquarters and
to the various police precincts. No one
had heard of any assassination.
Then Donaldson called up the telephone
operator who had spread the rumor and
came back to the inner circle few Sec
onds later with this explanation:
She says some one has been killed in
the Senate
Well-that made it about nine thousand
times worse. and that galleryful of news
paper men just about collapsed.
But 1t all Strengthened itself out in a
minute. The telephone operator shamedly
called up and said she was mistaken.
Something had been killed, and she saw
it in the paper. but it wasn't exactly an
assassination. You see. she had read that
the Senate committee on the District of
the District bill as it had passed the
House. 1t was an item of Importance
and the newspaper she had glanced at
used the words Senate and House
and kill In display form.
So the assassination rumor was assassi-
mated on the spot
Upon the issuance a short time ago of
the pronunciamento of the death of the
republican party. by Representative Hine-
baugh. chairman of the progressive con-
gressfonal committee. the secretary of
one of his republican colleagues from
Illinois broke forth IN the following
rhapsody:
When the lion eats grass like an OF
And the fshworm swallows the whale;
When terrapins knit woollen socks
And the hare 10 outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men
When grasshoppers feed on the hen
And feathers found on the hog;
When Thomas cats swim In the air
And elephants roost upon trees:
When insects in summer are rare
And snuff never makes people sneeze;
When fish creep over dry land
And mules on bicycles ride:
When foxes lay eggs in the sand
And women in dress take no pride;
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer
And girls get to preaching on time;
When billy goats butt from the rear
And treason is no longer a crime;
When humming birds bray like
And limberger smells like cologne;
When plowshares are made Of glass
And the hearts Of the people are stone;
When ideas grow in dummies heads
And wool on the hydraulic ram
Then the republican party will be dead
And the country won't be worth d-m.
CAT least, that's what came in with the
mail last Saturday. There will be lot
of people to agree with the sentiments.
