BY VIM. PHILIP SIMMS

MANILA, Aug. 13. - Are the Fili- pinos ready for independence?
 My impression is distinctly that they are.
 ought the United States, then, turn the island loose immediately?
 To this question l would unhesitat- ingly answer, no; not until through Pacific Conference of the big pow CTS some settlement of the whole Far Eastern situation can be arrived at.
 My method of investigation has been to keep away from the Wood Forbes party and to visit places where I was the only American present, and that without any flourish of trum- pets.
 By proceeding in this manner I have seen the Filipinos as they are, in their everyday clothes, so to speak, not all dressed up for company.
 Solitary American
 I have visited country schools at tended church services and christen- ings; cock-pits and prize fights, dances, fiestas and holy pilgrimages; 1 have seen farmers in their fields, merchants in their stores. lawyers in their offices; have dined with coun- try people in their homes, listened to local politicians on tne hustings, trav- eled with Filipino leaders on special trains
 And all the time have been the one American in the crowd
 In this way 1 have seen a pretty fair cross-section of Philippine socie- ty, high and low and middle class.
 My impression is the F Filipinos can govern themselves as well as any one of a dozen small nations I might name.
 The vast majority of Filipinos are literate. There are 5720 primary schools in the islands, 50Si nJermedi- ate, S7 secondary, IFS vocational, 15 colleges and universities for pop ulation of 1O,350,730.
 Own Their Homes
 There is a large class of well-educa- ted people-people who could and do hold their own in any society. They are patriotic.
 It is said that but per cent of Fili- pinos are renters. They own their homes The 1918 census shows that out of 1,955,276 farmers in the is- lands, 1,946,579 were owned by Fiji pinos as against only 267S by Ameri- cans, 1912 by Asiatics generally, $50 by Europeans and 3457 by. all other nationalities put together. < As in France the individual farm is small, the average being about five acres.
 Irrigation is rapidly coming into use, 45S,747 farms now being irrigat- ed with natural current and 13,747 with a forced flow. Broadway Is Worse Pauperism is very scarce in the is- lands. One sees more beggars in Chi cago or New York than here. The people are law-abiding. A Ma hila newspaper asked in its headline If crime-wave was on in the Philip pines. Two cutting scrapes and one robbery were reported in one day, the | entire islands considered Broadway alone can beat that in

all of the usual severity had returned, let me tell you about it-only 1 should have to see you to tell you; it would be so much more impressive, don't you know"
 ''I don't want to be impressed this morning!" My voice was ragged. It broke as tried to go on, so 1 replaced the receiver ~pd spent the next few minutes in jt-Ky, nervous crying.
 As soon as the traces of my emo- tional spree had vanished, I hurried out, fearing that if 1 stayed Philip Ames might come.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock, and for the third time in as many days, was standing at the door of the John Ames home. My trunks and trap pings were to follow by truck.
 The maid who answered my ring told me to go right to Mrs. Ames' rooms. I walked slowly through the shadowy hall in which a few hours before I had heard that haunting. tired voice of John Ames.
 At the head of the stairs in little passageway just before the turn to an arm caught my shoulders. I'm so sorry; I was worried about you and have watched for you" Philip AmeS' face was close to mine His voice was so soft that it was a | cdreSS.

of the house of representatives, are both Filiplnos.
 As pontical leaders they stack up to some of the old-timers in Washing ton.
 Some of these acts, along with oth- Finplno legislature, which sat for the first time Oct. 16, 1916, were acts creating the Philippine National Bank, the Coconut Products Board, board of public utility, public welfare board and measures to conserve the nations natural resources.
 Someo f these acts, along with oth- CTS, nave ,been severely criticised by Americans in the islands, perhaps not always entirely without rea>-n.
 Native Judges
 The courts of justice ln the Philip pines are likewise virtually in the ilands of Filipinos.
 There are courts of justices of the peace. courts of first instance, muni- cipal courts and a supreme court in the islands, and all save the supreme court are presided over by Fiiipinos with the possible exception of one or two courts of first instance.
 The supreme court is composed of nine justices, four or whom are Fili- pinos.
 The attorney general and great number of assistants are all Filipinos. So are the vast majority of lawyers practicing in the courts. It is charged by Americans and some tIllpinos that the dockets are crowded, that justice has erred at times, that inJustlCes have resulted, tnat there are privileged classes, and so on.
 have heard similar charges in va rious parts of the United States.
 To Their Doom.
 But would the Philippines be bet. ter off independent? Here is what MT. Justice Sames S Tracey, for a long time a member of the supreme court of the islands, once declared:
 Were I Filipino I should say to my people: 'Banish thisd ream of glory; ietus remain with the United States
 "On the other hand, as an Amer; can, I feel constrained to say: Your decision now is premature; take time. But if, after mature delibera i tion, you desire to cut loose from us ] then 1 shall say in sorrow: Il ne Re public fastens no yoke on an unwilling ipsop|ed depaFts but kaiow. that in go ing Sota 50 to your own destruction
 Many Americans in the. islands thor ! oughly agree with MT. Justice Tracey I do not believe they would go to their doom. My honest conviction Is after studying the people and condi tions, that the Filipinos can make il a go.
 But I also believe their progress would be slower, that they would be less we'll off in general and, in the end, would very probably ask to bt allowed to come back under the Amel ican flag, even if granted complete | severance.

In an instant I had checked the i'm pulse to speak to MT. John Ames, and rushed out into the night.
 What right had 1 to sympathlZe with another woman's husband?
 My sleep that night was troubled by the sound of a tired voice and the vision of d yellow-haired woman who once was there and then suddenly vanished, leaving behind her laugh which tinkled emptily.
 l awakened almost before it was light, with the sound of that tired voice in my ears. Just then 1 hated Lila Ames. She was doing just what I would have done to Tom, 1 thought, only she was lovlier than 1 and had greater means at her disposal-so l supposed she was making a better job of it than l could have.
 I wondered why the sound of that tired voice didn't awaken her to her own loss, perhaps because her heart was not tuned to catch it's tiredness- for it seems that unless we love them beyond expression the people with whom we live day in and day out are the ones we know the least about Their very nearness prevents us from taking the trouble to know why they are getting prematurely gray, why, | they are losing their buoyancy and why their voice sounds tired. But of the two, Lila Ames was los | ing the most. Her husband was miss | ing what she should have been to him But Lila was feeding upon an artifi cial diet. and thus robbing herself oi the ability to appreciate the genuine | Jagged about my dressing. l At half past eight, just as l was go ing out for breakfast, the telephone rang.
 "I didn't want to get you from bed but I'd like to see you for minute to make some explanations and apol ogies" Philip Ames' voice was seri ouS.
 "Fm afraid 1 don't want to hea either explanations or apologies thi morning. I said

 "I haven't any reason to be, hay , I, MT. Ames?" I said. . You're not going to be nasty abou

 DAM PAYNE NTS

ICON IlNUkD t'RUM FACE OASrJ corporation paid $1S,OOO. the first in- stallment, and the work on the pro- Ject was commenced.
 Ask Aid of State
 When the second installment was called for, the Colorado people an nounced that they were financially unable to meet the payment. They further declared they would be forced to abandon the undertaking unless the state would finance their opera tions on the same basis that the state loan board had handled the interests of the Apache county landholders un- uer the project. The state agreed and the 5000 acres, held by the Colorado corporation, was pledged to secure the additional money necessary to complete the dam. The land was so pledged that the loan was made, ap- parently, to Apache county people.
 The contracting company, which was a part and parcel of the Denver corporation owning the land, soon re- linquished it's work, because the state sent a supervising engineer to the project. The state then began the work on force account but continued this system only for a year. The work

 You say the republic is the true expression of national self determin- ation, but it is not the only expres- sion and it means your final and ire parable severance from the British league. To this the parliament and pepople of this country will not agree The prime minister has made you the offer of another form of freedom, of dominion stalus which is working with complet success in all parts of the British league.
 What is good enough for these nations surely ought to be good enough for Ireland, too. For Irishmen to say to the world that they cannot be satisfied with the status of the greatBritish dominions would be to alienate all that sympathy which has so far been the main support of the Irish cause. Such an oferf by the British prime minister who, unlike his predecessors, is in a position to deliver the goods, is an event of unique importance. It is far more than was offered to the Transvaal and the Free States who ought for freedom in one of the greatest wars in the history of Great Britain and one which reduced their own coun- tries to ashes and their little peoples to ruins.
 If you accept you will become a sister dominion in the great circle of equal states, who will stand beside you and shield you and protect your rights as if they were their own
 rights, and any questions that you and the British government may have will be for the imperial conference to 1 decide. This is the natural and con
 stitutional practice of dominion free l dom."

 Now Autonomous
 All is not perfect in the Philip pines, but from thelr point of view and as a distinct people they must have their own point of view-they are fitted to govern themselves.
 Filipinos have been self-governIng to all intents, for eight years.
 In 1913 the Filipinos already had a lower house when Governor Harrison at Presfdent fWilson's behest, gave them ab majority in the commission of nine members which constituted an upper house.
 In 1916, with the enactment of the Jones bill, an elective senate compos ed entirely of Filipinos, came into being.
 The islands are now virtually auto nomous. The present administrative powers are vested in a governor-gen eral, appointed by the president of the United States, and a cabinet compos ed of the six secretaries of depart ments.

Losses in the Kentucky potato

be stopped by spraying the crop
with Bordeaux mixture, according to
J. S. Gardner, extension specialist in
vegetable gardening from the Col

but there are always loose spores OF

The Bordeaux mixture spray may
be prepared at home by combining

sprayer may be bucket pump or a
barrel pump, the important thing be-
ing to get sufficient pressure to
make misty spray which should be
driven with force enough to reach

On areas larger than four acres it
