The Filipino people are a much mis-.
represented race. The frequent pub
LEGATION of pictures OF semi-naked Min
danao Moros and Igcrotes has caused
a great many Americans to believe
they are typical OF the inhabitants Of
the Philippines. Such is far from the
case, however. OF 10000 inhab.
itants Of the islands, 10,5oo,O0O are a
Christian, civilized people with cul.
ture and refinement that will compare
very favorabiy with that OF other ma
tons The Filipino women are excep-
rlonally modest. A street filtration in
Manila, 30 far as a Filipino woman is
concerned, is something that is almost
unknown, as any American that has
visited Manila win testify.

Illinois Executive Shows That
Business Methods More Than
Counterfeit High Prices.
A RECORD or ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated
business Men Put in Office
Sound Financial Policy APP
piled to State
Affairs.

Gov. Frank o. Lowdens great ts..
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one OF the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is Il story Of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
tv the people has been redeemed.
= Despite high plites ;ihd Unsettled
conditions due to the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application of
business methods to the management
Of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rhte In Illinois 80 per cent i'll two
Years. His friends nfe certain that he
can do for the nation what he las
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes If he is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Lowuen assumed Of
flee as executive of Illinois i'll Janu-
airy, 1917, the state treasury was prac.
tlcally bankrupt. There was only $500
to the credit Of the general fund,
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political jobs by conf
bining the work OF 125 different de-
partments and bureaus into nine COM
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt budget
system which he thought would be a
model for other commoiiwealtlis. He
placed business men and trained eX-
perts in charge of each OF these de-
