Uncle Harry Tells About The Philippine Bill

How big are the Philippines" p"

There are 314l islands" said Un-
Gle Harry, making a total of li4,95S
square miles. or about as much land
as there is in the New England States,
and New York and New Jersey. alto

Gle Harry. "The bill in Congress
says that the islands shall be made
independent. but not before two years
have passed. and not later than four
years from the time the bill becomes
a law. II also says that if at the end
of four years the President Of the
United States does not think il would
be best for the Filipinos to be inde-
pendent. he, that is. the President,
may postpone the independence until
the next Congress has had an oppor-

eide what should be done"
"The United States took the Philip
pines away from Spain after the
Spanish American War. didn't they?'
asked Joe.
"Yes. but not with the idea OF max
ing the islands part OF the United
States" said Uncle Harry. "The Gov
ernment at Washington announced ia
the world that the Filipinos and their
islands would be held by the Urted
States until the Filipinos were able to
take care OF themselves and estah-
lish and run their own Government"
Aren't the Filipinos civilized peo-
ple?" asked Jimmy.
To-day the majority of the Fill
pinos are either fully or partly civil
ized." said Uncle. Harry. but when
the United States took the islands in
1898 most of the Filipinos were either
only partly civilized or savage--mor'
savage, in fact, than any of the lndiar
tribes that ever inhabited the United
States. Many of the Filipinos were
what is called 'head-hunters.' But to-

ORPHEO THEATRE.

A beautiful actress is found uncon- scious beside the body of the man she hated. Near by is her revolver with one cartridge exploded. In the dead mans heart is a bullet from that re- volver.
 Did she murder him?
 That's the question that is causing great discussion among the patrons of the Orpheo theatre where "The Strange Case of Mary Page" featuring Henry Walthall and Edna Mayo. is being shown every Friday.
 This Essanay series of fifteen epi- sodes, each complete story, prom ises to be the most successful mystery tale yet produced in the films. The cast is a notable one and the tale is gripping.
 Henry Walthall plays the part of the attorney for the defense, the man who is in love with the accused girl. By sudden twist ill the evidence the attorney himself suddenly finds sus- picion turned toward him. Egr
 The general feeling among the movie fans now is that the attorney will confess to crime he did not commit and save his sweetheart.

 Letters were directed yesterday to each of the members for the Pine Bluff district. by E. B. Bloom. vice president of the district, in which Mr. Bloom pointed out the very great inn portance of tine meeting. and the ne. cessity of having a large attendance.
 The members for this district are Hugh c. Fox, J. c. Meyer, Jeff Hicks, J. E. Boyce, A. w. Nunn, J. w. Will kins, Hinton Ferguson. T. H. Greg ory, c. c. Handley, w. M. Taylor and Mir. Bloom.
 In this connection, the chamber of commerce bulletin yesterday had the following about river improvement work on the Arkansas:
 "The fact that the rivers and har- bors committee has recommended to congress that $209,000 be appropriat- ed for work on the Arkansas river, including revetment work at Pine Bluff. does not mean that this recom- mendation will be adopted by con gress. It will take work, and great deal of hard work. by onr representa- lives in congress, backed up by the people of Arkansas. to get this ap- propriation.
