GENERAL LoGAN,s IDEA

TENBRAL ALBERT j. LOGAN,
IT of the Second Brigade, National
Guard, has very definite and
practical ideas concerning the prepa-
ration of the men of the nation to
defend it in case Of foreign invasion.
He would have the government or
the State provide several camps where
each summer during the vacation
period boys between, the ages of 16
and 20 could undergo military train
ing.
Even the most captious can scarce
ly take exception to this. Most boys
would be improved physically and
mentally by such life in the open.
Certainly the experience would be
better for them than the two months
OF idleness that the vacation season
brings to many lads, who either
dwaddle around home or spend both
time and money at summer resorts
acquiring tastes beyond their means.

PHILIPPINE PROBLEMS
Back to the Farm
By Frederic J. Haskin

NNE of the biggest Philippine
problems is the agricultural
situation. One of the biggest
tasks confronting whoever is going to
administer the islands is that of put
ting them where they belong as a
productive world-unit. A fresh i'm
petus to agriculture is essential to
real progress in the archipelago.
In almost every particular, the
present regime in the Philippines has
so far out-distanced that of the
Spaniards that we make comparisons
half apolegetically, as though realiz-
ing 1T would be unsportsmanlike to
measure our progress by the yard
stick of Spain. But the rice and
sugar production of the islands since
| 1898 has never exceeded the record
made in the best years of the Spanish
rule. Certain provinces have never
been. as productive since the insur-
rection as they were before This is
q question of first importance be-
cause the Philippines will always de-
pend primarily on agriculture as a
source of wealth.
The hitch in agricultural progress is
due to the lack of labor, and to the
quality of what labor there is avail
plantations before 1898 were bad. The
workingman did not want to spend
his days at hard toll from which he
received practically no return, but he
had not much choice in the matter.
Then came the United States and said:
I'VE would like you to work, but un-
less you want to. YOU don't have to-"
To which the laborer somewhat dis
concertingly made reply: Then !
won't"
The Filipino is a good workman.
In the big sugar and tobacco mills
! he is employed almost exclusively, not
only in the lowest ranks but in posi-
| tions of subordinate authority, and
Americans are agreed that he does his
work well. On the railways of the
archipelago, the Filipino fills practi-
cally the whole payroll. A few of
the highest technical and administra-
tive men are Americans, but laborers,
conductors, engineers and clerks are
natives. 1.-THE same thing is true of
the Manila electric line. On the
| steamers that ply between the various
islands most of the crews and some
of the principal officers are Filipinos.
According to all concerned, their
work is satisfactory.
| In fact, Filipino labor seems to be
at it's worst in agriculture, where the
need for it is greatest. That there is
no fundamental deficiency in the ma

i've as a WorKlngman, is shown by
his record in other lines. 1t is simply
a case where certain wrinkles in the
situation must be ironed out, certain
deep-rooted customs and prejudices
gradually obliterated by steady and
patient effort. The relations of en-
ployers and landowners to their
tenants will have to be readjusted,
until the workingman can see what
he is working for, and that he is
getting direct benefit from any
extra effort he puts forth.
The change must come slowly,
without blare or sensationalism. Old
customs must be superseded, and
unless the directing hand proceeds
cautiously there will be retrogression
and confusion. 1t would seem q task

good illustration of the way pro-
gress must be adapted to local con-
dltions is furnished by the experience
OF big American contracting firms with
native labor. These contractors are
the men who built the railroads, piers
ana breakwaters of Luzon and the
NlSayans, who are working many of
the mines and plantations to-day.
When they first arrived in the islands,
they tried to handle Filipino labor by
American methods, and they got no
where. They found that working
men were not hired direct, that the
unit was the gang instead Of the in
dividual Each gang had q chief who
directed it's operations, and arranged
with the employer for wages. When
the chief was hired, the gang was
hired. When the chief quit, the gang
quit.
The Americans tried TO do away
with this system and deal with the
men directly. They found that this
method caused needless confusion.

subordinates, and supervising Am
ericans give their orders through the
chiefs. II they want to discharge a
man they do not throw lump of coal
at his head and profanely order him

gest to the chief that it might be wise
to replace Jose with somebody who
takes Il little more interest in life.
Next day there is a new man in Jose's
place.

parently very valuable time is being
lost in preparation for the expedition
while Villa is, perhaps, getting far
ther and farther into the mountains.
1t will occur to many thoughtful peo-
pie that proper administration of the
army's affairs along the border would
have resulted in preparation for the
immediate launching of such an en-
pedition as is now under way. 1t
must have been long apparent that 1t
was but question of time until Amer
ican troops would cross the Rio
Grande, and the question now is, why
was the army not ready for instant
action? What is the matter?

"PETRONIORTIS"

TIME appearance of new diseases"
as the result of modern indus
trial development is only one
indication of the value to the work

public in general of such governmental

THE PAPER MARKET

NNE of the serious developments
~ of the business situation is the
condition of the paper market
There is no more generally used prod
uct than paper and no more necessary
adjunct to the life of the community
than printing. The country is unusu-
ally prosperous. More paper is being
used than ever before. The demands
of business for all manner of printed
forms. catalogs and stationery are
greater than ever. Newspapers are
feeling the reflex of the general pros
perity in advertising and the daily con-
sumption of news print has increased
tremendously. The paper mills even
in ordinary times would be pressed to
capacity to meet such demands, but
when they must make up for the lack
of imports from Europe, resist the
pressure caused by the export of wood
pulp for war purposes Gnstead of meet
part of their needs by the import of
pulp as formerly, and in addition see
the powder manufacturers buying up
rags at almost prohibitive prices, it re-
quires no expert to forecast the result.
Printing prices are already high and
going higher although the profits to
the printer are less than formerly, and
newspapers are reaching the place
where they cannot renew their con-
tracts for white paper at any price.
What will happen If the news print
situation becomes much more acute is
that some little papers will be put out
of business entirely and those remain
ing will be foSced to a two-cent basis.
How grave the conditions are can be
fully realized only by those in closest
touch with them.
