MANILA: KANSAS CITY OF
THE PHILIPPINES =.

In connection with the continued dis
cussion of independence for the Phil
ippines the capital city of the islands,
Manila becomes of special interest.
AS a transport wends inward from
the China sea, it passes the island Of
Corregidor, beyond which stretches
Manila bay, whose 120-mile circumfer-
ence could surround the navies of the
world. Its rival will not be found In
the far East. On the right of its en-
trance stands Cavite, where Dewey
sank the Spanish fleet.
From the bay the city of Manila
seems to lie almost at water level
with hazy mountains for back
ground. Before the United States
came to the islands Manila was a
sleepy town, sprawled lazily beyond
the bay and the wharves of the river
Pasig, which bisects it. Its streets
were quiet and almost deserted at
times, its suburbs shady and pretty,
and general air of "manana" per-
vaded its atmosphere.
Today its estimated population
equals that of Jersey City, Indianap-
Oils or Kansas City; the river is alive
with launches and vessels of every
description, including the houseboats
of literally floating population of
fifteen thousand; and through its port
tsends yearly to other countries near
ly hundred million dollars worth Of
hemp, sugar, copra, tobacco and other
c0mOditieS.
A unique sight In Manila is the Pace
cemetery, which at present has fallen
into disuse. 1t is composed of two con-
centric walls about six feet thick,
hOneycombed with holes just large
enough for coffin. In the olden days
these were leased for periods Of five
years. At the end of that time If no
one was sufficiently interested in the
remains of an inmate to pay his rent
for another five years his bones were
thrown on heap at the back of the
cemetery. Imagine the Skinny" the
flesh on an ancestor-worshiping China
mans backbone would perform should
he behold the queue of one of his pro-
genitors protrudlng from this Golgotha.
Out from the walled city near the
bay shore is Luneta, small amuse-
ment park, and Wallace field, used
for sports and the annual carnival.
In the days of Spanish rule Wallace
field was an execution ground for pO-
litical prisoners, and here DR.. Jose
Rial, the Filipino surgeon, novelist
and patriot, was executed.
Manila's chief shopping district IS
north of the river, and enterm'ising
Filipinos, Americans and Chinese have
set up stores. banks, factories and
restaurants, giving this portion Of the
city an up-and-doing air.

WHAT'S nv THE NAME.
america"

Millions sing "America"; compare
lively few know the origin of the
name. Its history and its symbolism
are described in a communication to
the National Geographic society by
John II. Finley as follows:
"America'-a name that was first
heard on the planet, or at any rate
first put on printed page. according
to the best authorities, in the village
of st. Die, among the Vosges noun
tains in the east Of France, often call
ed the hapt;smal font Of America. :
"On a pilgrimage to this valley Of
the Vosgr5 some years ago, l found
still standing the clOisters where the
scholars had lived who wrote The In
PRODUCTION to Ptolomys CoSmography
the book in which it was suggested
that the name America be given to
the newly-disVOyered fourth continent
and who prepared the now famous
map on which the emerging continent
WAS identified. There, too, l found
the site OF the old printing shop, and
the house Nself in which the printer,
Jean BASIN, had lived.
"At the beginning of the war the
Germans had occupied it, and in 1917
their guns looked down upon it from
the blue line of the VosgeS' The
cloisters, close under the mountains,
I found in q recent and second pill
grimage had not Geen damaged, but
there We're many houses that had been
destroyed by shell or by wanton Gre,
though Jean BASINS was still sta ad-
Ing.
Europe could not readily forget the
geography Of its infancy and child
hood, but America BEGAN from it's God
fearing settlement with an astronomy
of infinite distances, with a geography
partaking of the sky as well as Of the
sea and land.
"As there was no feudal system of
society for America to unlearn, be-
ginning as it did with the compact
and constitutional, so there was no
physical theory of the universe for It
to abandon. 1t was democratic and
Copernican from its first national con-
seriousness.
with this Copernican consciousness
Of tie universe, America should be the
Least provincial of the continents, for
Asia and Africa, as well as Europe.
still remember the old cosmcgraphy
and in some darker regions still cling
to it"

came the name of the state. y

Blackwater State.
OF the early Spanish explora-
tons little is known, except that
Coronado probably reached the
great plain of this region in 1911.
More than one hundred and
twenty-five years later Father
Marquette noted the Platte river
on his trip up the Missouri. In
the beginning of the Nineteenth
century the Lewis and Clark ex-
pedition skirted the boundaries
of the present state and in 1905.
Manuel Lisa established the
first known settlement which was
a fur trading post at Bellevue.
This was just after the Louisiana
Purchase had brought Nebraska
into United States territory.
Omaha was established as
post of the American Fur COM
pany in 1925 and Nebraska City
the following year.
With the California gold rush
in 1910 many pioneers passed
through Nebraska and some
stopped and settled there al
though there was a law forbid
ding settlements among the In
dams. The real colonization
boom, however, started with the
passing Of the Kansas-Nebraska
act IN 1854, which arranged that
these two sections should become
free or slave states at the die
tate Of their inhabitants. The
Nebraska territory was then or
ganlZed and reached from the
fOrtieth to the forty-ninth paral-
lei. In 1861, the region north
of 43 was made into Dakota
territory. The Idaho territory
was also created, which re-
duced Nebraska to its present
size Of 1880 square miles, ex-
cept for a slight addition in the
Northwest which was made in
1882.
In 1867 Nebraska was Hdmit-
ted as the 37th state over the
presidents veto. 1t has eight
presidential electors.
