FILIPINOS ARE
MISJUDGED BY
u. S.; TAVENNER

By Former Congressman Clyde IL.
Especial Correspondence of The
Argus.)
Washington, May 8.--If one were
to stop the first 100 persons that
should pass along the street. it is
doubtful if one of them could state
within a million of the number of
Inhabitants in the Philippines, o.
within a thousand of the number OF
islands comprising the Philippine
archipelago.
There are 100000 people in the
Philippines, of which about
$500, 900 are Christians There are
approximately 300 islands in the
Philippine group.
Filipinos have from the first
been much misrepresented in the
United States. Many persons have
actually been under the impress
sion the Filipinos were practically
savages, and that there was no such
thing as a school house in the Phil
ippines at the time of the American
occupation 20 years ago.
Are Civilized.
But the fact is the Filipinos and
their ancestors have been civilized
and Christians for 300 years. For
hundreds of years the FsEipinos
have had colleges and schools. The
Philippine university of Sant0
Tomas is 25 years older than Har-
ward AS early as 1866, out of a
population of 100000 people,
there we're S41 schools for boys and
S33 for girls. In 1892, eight years
before the American occupation,
there were 2,137 schools.
The latest statistics received by
the war department show that 20
per cent of the people. above 10
This percentage of literacy is al
most as high as that in some of
the American states, and is higher
than any country in South Amer
lea, higher than the literacy of the
Spanish people, and unquestionably
above that of any of the new coun-
tries recognized in Europe.
A body of 40 prominent and rep
fesentative Fflipinos was recently
appointed by the Philippine Iegisla-
!, lure to come to America and work
for independence. The United States
had from the first held out to the
Filipinos the assurance that indie
pendence would be granted them as
soon as they could maintain q
stable government.
The members of the mission as
sert that there is now a stable gov
eminent in the Philippines, and
that therefore the time is ripe for

COFFEE PRICES
ARE ADVANCING
Retail Cost of High Grade Has In
creased Already With Other
~ Kinds to Follow.
NAVEL ORANGES DISAPPEAR
Yalencias Come to Take Their
Place and Asparagus Once
Again Is Plentiful.

Coffee has advanced Two cents
on the pound during the last week,
and it is bound to go much higher
during the next few weeks, &C
cording to predictions Of coffee
merchants. Locally the cost has
only advanced on the higher priced
brands, as grocers are selling the
medium grade varieties at the
same price as long as the present
supply lasts.
Coffee will not keep long after
it is roasted, especially the bulk
kind. The supply which is now on
hand will be sold at as nearly the
old price as possible. Each visit
of the coffee salesman brings the
news that the wholesale price has
advanced from one cent 10 a cent
and a half on the pound. Up to
date the wholesale price has ad-
vanced 16 cents while the retail
ers have only raised Is cents.
Navel oranges are practically off
the local markets now. When the
supply which is now on hand is
exhausted only the valencias will
be available. These are not quite
as large as the naVels and are
quite sour.
Radishes Coming In.
Field radishes are coming in
This is the first week they have
sold at the local stores. Spinach
IS also coming in in quantities, and
so is asparagus. For a few days
asparagus was unusually scarce
for this time of the year, but the
supply has again begun to come
in we'll.

PERSHING HONORED
BY BRITISH SOLDIERS

LONDON, July 17.-General John
J. Pershing. commander-in-chief of
the American expeditionary force,
met the military members of parlia-
ment in the committee rooms of the
house of commons today. He was
enthusiastically received when intro
du.ed by Winston Spencer Churchill.
secretary of war. Mr.. Churchill
called attention to the fact that Cen
-eral Pershing had been there before
he and his troops had fought side by
side with the British, and added the
secretary, every day our feeling has
grown stronger for these gallant men
and their gallant commander"
In an address, in which he dis
cussed the sentiment of the Ameri-
can soldiers and people, General
Pershing said:
1T seems to me that all discussion
OF ways and means to prevent war
and of plans for combined nations
must be based on a union in thought
and in heart of the Anglo-Saxon
peoples"
Viscount Middleton, representing
the war office and the house of lords
paid warm tribute to General
Pershlng and the American army.

1t seems that Captain BARTLETT is not
going TO have things entirely his own
