If Jimmy might not go home with bin

OF the invitation it almost took his
breath away. His mother took OF his

in his pocket, and he climbed into the
wagon. and away he went to Laurette.

people what they are; they love
an honest man; and as these are
the reasons why you keep Dick
Austin in Congress, so these are
the reasons the Americans over
here would vote to make him a
life member of Congress.
The following is an extract
from the account of the banquet
published by the Manila Sunday
Times"::-
'Mr. Austin's speech had
breathed a militant Americanism
from the beginning. Il am not
interested in the Islands except
as a good wisher of the people, 3"
he declared earnestly. L have
no selfish ambition to promote.
But | want to warn them against
making a mistake involving their
happiness and their future.
What is the program of the
present administration" he went
on. independence as early as
it can be obtained, and a neu-
tralization of the Philippines by
treaties with other countries.
Come with me to Belgium, and
see what fate has overtaken that
nation of 10 million active, intel
ligent people, without army or
navy, believing that they were
secure and their liberties guaran-
teed under a treaty of neutrality"
He painted a moving picture of
the ruin and the devastation that
had come upon that country, and
continued: my Filipino friends,
think of what has happened
there when | consider your case.
have heard your eloquent Resi-
dent Commissioner speak about
your aspirations to become a ma
tion-a nation of eight million of
people, seventy or eighty per
cent of whom are illiterate, with

Americans here, and said that
the pages of history might be
searched in vain to find so match
less an example of service rend-
cred by one people to another.
Independence! Independ-
ence!" he said, how much po-
litical humbug is uttered in thy
name. Politicians, this is fire
you are playing with!
Il wish your Governor Gener-
al were here, that l might talk
to him. AS my colleague in
Congress | liked him, and still
like him as a friend. | know his
administration has not been what
you would wish. But don't hold
him responsible! Hold the man
higher up, Woodrow Wilson, re-
sponsible, for Mr.. Harrison came
here with instructions"
Then came referance to the
appreciation the speaker felt for
the welcome and the treatment
he had received from acting Gov
ernor General Martin, and from
acting Executive Secretary Fer
guson, at which there was a
round of applause for both.
I'VE will have them back in
the States perhaps in a couple of
years, the speaker continued,
as his hearers broke into laugh
ter, land | am sure the great
Empire State of New York will
be more than willing to return
Mr.. Harrison to Congress. AS
for our great agricultural friend,
if he will go back to Kansas, |
am sure he will make that State
blossom like a rose."
More laughter at this, and Mr..
Austin's impassive face broke
into smile. las for my friend
Secretary Ferguson" he went on
Il am so much in love with him
that | have extended to him an
invitation to remain here under
the administration of the next
Governor General. :" AS he said
this he swept an arm in the d.
rection of Newton w. Gilbert,
sitting beyond him at the speakers
table. The room was quick to
catch the gesture and it's mean
ing, and a roar of applause went
up.
A final word of thanks, and
Congressman Austin sat down.
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-09-02

the audience cried its enthusiasts
tic agreement.
| Whenever that army and that
navy leaves these shores, never
will the people of the United
States eXpend a dollar to return
them here! Never!! No party in
America dare take the position
that we will remain the perpet-
ual policeman for the Filipinos,
when they abandon and seek to
get from beneath our flag" This
again raised an outburst, and
when it ended Mr.. Austin raised
the question of American exper-
fence in Cuba, whose independ-
ence was guaranteed.
From this he passed to a con-
sideration of the benefits which
had accrued to Hawaii since it
became United States territory,
which he interrupted to make a
prophecy.
There are two things certain
in this life" he said, and they
are death and taxation. But |
will add to them two more things
and you mark my prediction.
The first is that there will be a
Republican President of the
United States next"---here came
a wild shout of agreement
land the second is that the
American flag will never be haul
ed down in the Philippine Is
lands" ---once again the room
rose at him in delighted applause.
THAT hauling down the flag, "
he went on, was attempted in
the Hawaiian Islands by Grover
Cleveland, and what happened?
When the issue was presented to
the American people, Mckinley
was elected by the largest known
majority in the history Of the
country, and that flag went back,
is there now, and will be there
when the day of resurrection
comesp"
All the applause that had gone
before was as a whisper to what
greeted this. Mr.. Austin went on
to draw a comparison between
Hawaii and the Philippines, and
to point out the benefits which
would accrue if the Filipinos, like
the Hawaiians, were definitely
part of the Union. He paid a
tribute to the work done by
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1915-09-02

out an army or navy, with a to
tai income of less than seven
teen millions of dollars, moi
enough to buy a single modern
up-to- date battleship-and | stanC
wonder struck that such things
can be.
What is the motive behind
the action of the men in my
country who are helping you in
your independence ideas? Some
one relates that when the author
of the Jonrs bill, the Congress-
man from Virginia, said that he
wanted the bill passed, a man
asked him what would become of
the Filipinos? He said: II don't
care a d. what becomes of the
FilipinoS as soon as the Navy and
our people are out of the harbor
of Manila. Now, | do care, and
therefore | appeal to your hearts
and your consciences to stop and
think and ponder a question in
volving your very existence, the
happiness and prosperity of your
children and your children's
children.
There was loud applause at
this, and Mr.. Austin went on to
declare with passionate earnest
ness: "The men who voted for
the Jones bill in Congress favor
ed that measure for two leasons--
first, that they believed these
Islands a menace to the peace of
the United States if retained, and
second, that if the United States
continued to occupy them they
would be expensive in the end
and would involve US in a war
with an oriental power.
Il would rather be dead" he
cried, raising his hand in the air,
than to be a coward!" and the
room shouted its approval. Il
would despise the government
that shrank from it's responsible
ties to civilization. The day that
Congress-oh! my God! avert
that calamity to the Filipino peo-
ple!- declares these Philippine
Islands Independent, and with
draws the army and, navyS you
will repent in sack-cloth and
ashes, and you will politically
cruelty the leaders that got you
into it..
Again there was a pause while

Dick Austin In Manila
Becomes The Idol
Of Americans There
Republican and Democratic Speakers Have Tilt
In The ''Sun Kissed Isles"

(The following is from Capt. L.
S. Goddard, Legaspi, Philippine
Islands, who was formerly editor
of The Maryville Times. Ed
1t was the same old war horse
used to know back in the good
old second district, who, by his
speech at the Manila Hotel ban
quet, caused the dining room of
that magnificent structure to ring
with such enthusiastic applause
as has never greeted any OTHER
speaker, who has visited the
PHILIPPINE Islands.
Dick Austin, our Congressman,
became the idol of the Americans
over here in these Islands by
making one of his characteristic
straight from the shoulder
speeches and thereby won the
respect and admiration of even
those who differed from him in
the policy to be pursued over here.
In these "sun kissed isles"
we have been so accustomed to
our public men coming over here
and talking in platitudes that
Congressman Austin's speech
came like refreshing sea breeze
over a sun baked desert.
It never was difficult to find
out where Dick Austin stood on
any question; and he showed the
same courage of his convictions
when he made his speech at the
Manila Hotel upon the Philippine
question.
If Americans over here could
elect a Congressman they would
elect Dick Austin for life, be-
cause they are made of the same
kind of clay as you good people
of the second district. They love
a fighter; they love a man con-
victions and is not afraid to tell

The orchestra at the other end
of the room began the playing of
the Star Spangled Banner, and
the audience was on its feet,
when it was seen that Senator
Shafroth was standing and was
signing for general attention.
There was much breathing of
Hush" all resumed their seats,
and the Senator spoke quickly,
and almost with heat.
DEFENDS WILSON
"A turn has been given to this
banquet, he said loudly, which
| think is entirely out of place.
Discord has been introduced, the
q ue S i o n of Republican and
Democrat has been raised, and l
feel impelled to say that co not
consider this the proper place to
consider matters of this kind"
There was one or two groans
at this, but these were hardly
heard in the approving cries of a
section of the banqueters. I'VE
may have political views that diff
fer" the Senator went on, but
| think that when they are pa
raded at this place and in this
manner it amounts to a violation
of hospitality. No man, in my
presence, can without a protest
attack either President Wilson or
Governor General Harrison in the
manner that it has been done to-
night"
He went on in cooler fashion to
say that the Philippine question
was one involving matters of
great moment. The Democrats
came into power, he said, found
a certain condition existing
which seemed to them to be con-
trary to those articles of the Con-
stitution which stated that all
men were equaI---not equal in
size, or ability, or strength, or
color---but equal in rights, and
that declared that a just govern
ment rested on the consent of
the governed. They found, in eff
feet, what they thought meant a
colonial empire.
He spoke of Jones Bill, and
of the manner of its passage
through the House and the Sen
ate committee, and went on to

Sugar in the United States.

More than one-fifth OF the 10000
sents the worlds production last year
was, says Commercial America, con-
sumed in the United States. The con-
sumption of sugar in the United
States, exclusive of its sugar produc-
ing islands, during the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1915, has been calculated
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce as 5000 million pounds.
OF the sugar consumed in the
United States in 1914-15, 1941 million
pounds were produced on the main
land, 1881 million pounds in Hawaii,
$50 million pounds in Porto Rico, 327
million pounds in the Philippines and
the remainder in foreign countries.
Cuba, the leading source of imported
sugar, sent 4,7S5 million in the last
fiscal year, that quantity being nearly
four times as much as that from
Hawaii and eight times as much as
that from Porto Rico.
Beet sugar now leads cane sugar by
nearly 100000 pounds IN the yearly
domestic product, having reversed the
conditions which obtained 20 years
ago. In 1895, for example, according
to the statistical abstract of the
United States, the domestic sugar
product totaled approximately IT'S
million pounds, the share of beet
sugar being only As million pounds. In
1915 the American sugar product had
increased to 1,941 million pounds, the
share of beet having grown to 1,44s
million and that Of cane having de-
creased to 493 million pounds. Mean
time beet sugar has practically disap.
peared from the imports. Eighteen
years ago, when the Cuban supply of
cane sugar was cut off by the war, the
United States imported nearly 1000
million pounds of beet sugar. After
the return of peace in Cuba the inn
ports Of beet sugar fell off sharply,
and in the last fiscal year beet sugar
imports amounted to less than one
million pounds.

Magnet signs are the latest kind of

They have movable letters, designed

small permanent magnet, SO that the
letter will stick on any piece of iron

The background of the sign is q
