A PRESIDENT WHO is
4 CATTLE KING

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico-Gen Juan
Vicente Gomez. President and Dicta-
tor of Venezuela. is now said to be the
cattle king of his country. 1t is re-
ported that his herbs number 10000
head and that the immense ranges
which he controls are well-nigh limit
less in extent The governing of the
country is said to be accomplished by
the Venezuelan, who has scarcely any
time for office work, by carrying his
staff about with him in motor cars
and discussing affairs of state and is
suing mandates at odd moments IN
his cattle corrals while inspecting his
COWS and directing his foremen how
to care for them.
The general is described as being a
commanding figure as he stands sur
rounded by a score Of generals in full
military regalia, breathlessly intent
upon his orders. General Gomez is
said to be tireless worker himself.
and a believer in work for all of his
fellow countrymen. He is up and a.
broad at 5 o'clock in the morning, and
in the course of the day covers much
ground in his motor car, visiting
ranches and conducting the business
of cattle king in a regal way. He
sees to it that all government prison
ers work, too. But ne pays the work.
ers Tweny cents a day is the wage
He is reported to have made the re-
mark that Venezuelans are naturally
lazy and must be tught to work, and
he relatees the story of how one of
them after release from prison, wrote
to him, thanking him for the excel
lence of the training and for having
been taught the dignity and value of
labor. The prisoners are all employ
ed on the dictator's properties.
Giro Malatrassic, Italian consul

Washington, April 30--lt is. as it
always has been, the purpose Of the
people of the United States to with
draw their sovereignty over the Phil
ippine Islands and to recognize their
independence as soon as a stable GOV
ernment can be established therein.
This is the official hope that the
American government has held out to
10000 600 Flip mos ever since
American occupation.
Now come the Fiipinos, through
the Philippine Mission, bring
ing an imposing array of proof to the
effect there is already a stable gov
ernment in the Philippines. They al
so point to the testimony of Govern
or General Harrison and Acting Gov
ernor Yeater. the two highest Ameri-
can officials in the islands, who in the
light Of their experience in the phil
lDDlncS agree not Only liitil IL St'l'iN
government can be established, but
that one is already in existence.
The Philippine Mission, asks, there
fore, that independents now be grant
ed at the earliest possible date. The
Mission is an official body, 1t was
appointed by the Philippine legisla-
turc at the bchest Of the Filipino peo-
pie come to the United States at
this time and work for independence
and 'to promote better understanding
greater confidence. and closer &c"
nOmic between the United states an'i
the Philippines
Here is what Governor HARRISON
who has been for six years governor
general of the islands, said on the
subject Of Philippine independence
while speaking at tho Nnickcrhockcr
Club in New York:
