of the United States and repeal by
Congress. The Filipino people were
ruled for 500 years BY the Spaniaras,
and during that timeI am no law

good laws During the last is years
whatever was bad In those laws has
been eliminated. and they have had
the additional advantage Of American
government and laws. Now, before
they can change any OF the existing
laws they have got to give very good
reasons for advocating such changes,

give them independence at any time

Senator Lippitt-So that you have

Mr. Fairchild- oh. yes: absolutely
Senator LippittIIas il been profit
Mr.. Fairchild 1T was profitable this
year only because Of the high price Of
sugar. We get 20 per cent Of sugar
and the planters SO per cent. and We
got war prices for our percentage Of
the sugar.
Senator Lippitt--YOu say you get 40
per cent as your proportion. You do
this refining and handling Of the
sugar on percentage basis?
Mr., Fairchild Yes, sir.
Senator Lippitt- And of the sugar
that Is produced the planter receives
so per cent and you 40?
Mr.. Fairchild Yes. sir: we take
delivery Of the sugar cane in the field
and transport 1t from the cane farm
ers plantations to our mill. extract
the sugar. bag and ship II to our
Wharfs, from which 1t is shipped TO
New York market. and for that SER
vice we take 40 per cent Of the sugar.
Senator, Mnpitt- For the value Of

Mr.. Faifchild Yes, SIR.
Senator Lippitf-You say you have
been doing this for two years?
Mr.. Fairchild--We have taken of
but one crop. We started but two
years ago to install the central rail-
road and wharfage facilities.
Senator Iappitt You have only had
enc crop?
Mr.. FairchiId- have had only
one crop, the expenses of which were
far greater than we estimated We
did not know as much about loclists,
droughts, typhoons. and a great many
other disadvantages which exist out
there as We do now
Senator Lippitt How much money
have you spent there?
Mr.. Fairci1iId Four million dollars.
Senator Lppftt-.Is that for one
central?
Mr.. FairchiId No: the other CEN
trail is--it is really not a central, but
the other enterprise Is a sugar mill
on the Island Of Mindoro, the one I
spoke OF first. It Is now under de-.
velopment.
The Chairman VIII you describes.
in brief. the difference between CEN
trail and sugar mill?
Mr. Fairchild When one speaks Of
q sugar mill, one means that the land
as well as the mill is owned by the
same parties. The central usually
bugs the bulk. If not all its cane from
local planters
Senator Lippitt-Is it the same style
Of factory?
Mr. Fairchild The same style FAC
tory, the same type.

gIYHEN anyone is reading a book
w what he Is most anxious to
know is: Does it end happily?" We
dislike to read a book which leaves us
in gloom. There are two happy end
ings to the two great narratives of
the New Testament. The first mar
rative is the life of Jesus himself.
The second narrative is the life of his
church. The story Of Jesus life or
earth would be UNNECESSARILY sad If it
left him on the cross. That would in
deed be the worlds most rayless trag-
edy. Those hands SO busy in useful
toll and in kindly service, nailed to the
rough cross; those feet which had
sought out sorrow in order that relief
and comfort might be brought, also
pierced and torn; the eyes which had
looked forth with infinite tenderness
and pity upon the SORROWS of men and
women and little children and which
had revealed undreamed-of depths Of
sympathy, closed in death; the brow
on which the light Of heaven had
shone, dark with the shadows Of
death, covered with dust and with
blood from the crown of thorns; the
heart that had throbbed with love for
the sad and the needy and oppressed,
pierced with the Roman soldiers
spear. That would have been an end
ing too grievous to endure. But the
story does not end that way. There are
no tears In its ending. The Savior
met his weeping friend Mary of Mag
dala in the garden with the comfort
ing words: "Why weepest thou?"
Since he is risen there is no longer
any reason for despair and grief. He
spent those days before his ascension
in bringing to his friends assurance of
peace and Joy. And he went back t.
heaven promising that he himself IN
actual spiritual presence won0 nH
with them always, even to the end of'
the age.
The happy ending in Revelation ia
but another part of this same happy
ending Of the Gospels. All Christ s fol-
lowers are to share in the Joy and
splendor of his resurrection. We are
to come to him with songs and ever
lasting JOY upon our heads. May our
faith in him, our love for him, our
allegiance to him be so strong and
bright this year that of all the Eas-
tiers it shall be the gladdest we have
ever known.-Christian Herald.
