' GOV.-GENERAL OF PHILIPPINES FOR FREEDOM Declares It Not Right That Freedom Should Longer Be Withheld. By FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON, ; Governor-General of the Philippine*. (First Article.)

My six years’ experience as governor - general of the Philippine Islands have convinced me that the Filipino people are ready and fit to have their independence. I have recommended to Congress, as well as to the executive a d m 1 n i s tration, that independence be granted.

। *J* E FrW ft. '-A f ® ^7 I 8^ - JL l W '“’'l’k Gov. Gen. Harrison

As to the question of the stability of Government, I wish to say to the American people upon my responsibility as the governor-general that in my opinion there exists today in the Philippine Islands a stable government, which I think should answer the re. quirements laid down by Presidents Grant and McKinley, and as I understand it, also by Mr. Root—namely, a government elected by the suffrage of the people, which is supported by the people, which is capable of maintaining order and of fulfilling its interna tional obligations. I am very glad to go on record as being entirely in sympathy with the aspirations of the Filipino nation for independence. I have recommended to Congress that in granting independence some provision be made similar to what is known as the Platt amendment in the treaty with Cuba, which restricts the ability of the new republic in borrowing of foreign governments and also permits the United States to Interfere with the affairs of the new republic in case conditions of disorder should be found to prevail. Such recommendation does not come as an expression of the views of the Filipinos; it is my own view of what would be desirable to secure a feeling of confidence and satisfaction on the part of all persons who have already invested money in the Philippines or who contemplate doing so in the near future. But it is not right that independence Itself should longer be delayed. By temperament, by experience, by financial ability, in every way, the 11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled to be free from every government except of their own choice. They are intelligent enough to decide for themselves. I have found the native Filipino official to be honest, efficient and as capable of administering executive positions as any men I have met anywher* in the world. These officials are today governing 1,000 municipalities and forty-two provinces, economically, efficiently and for the good of the entire people. They have a native congress, including many graduates of Yale, Princeton, Harvard and other American universities. Other members are graduates of Santo Tomas and other Philippine universities, and in education and ability they com- j pare favorably with any I know. They have leaders like Speaker Os- j j mens of the House of Representatives i and President Quezon of the Senate , who would adorn any office. I The Philippines are away ahead ol I the United States in successful govern. j ment ownership and operation of pub- ' lie utilities. Tiie government took hold of the steam railways and made them pay a profit of 1,000,000 pesos a year more ► than under private ownership. It took hold of tiie highways, and I i we have 7,000 miles of the best macadamized roads in the world. The ’ Manila city government is about to I take over the street railways and the ‘ gas and electric plants, while the ter- | ritorial government is arranging foi ■ ownership and control of the coal sup I ply. The movement for independence h a peaceful one. No territory was more loyal to Uncle Sam during the war. H offered an armed and equipped division to our government, gave it a subma rine destroyer and oversubscribed Lib erty loans and Red Cross funds. Two million natives speak English fluently, and there are 700,000 English speaking children in the public schools I am more than willing to retire ii the Filipinos can be granted what they deserve —a government like that of tin United States. A MISREPRESENTED RACE. The Filipino people are a much mis represented race. The frequent pub lication of pictures of semi-naked Min danao Moros and Igorotes has caused a great many Americans to believt they are typical of the inhabitants oi the Philippines. Such is far from th< case, however. Os 11.000,000 inhabj itants of the islands, 10,500,OX) are 8 I Christian, civilized people with a cul I ture and refinement that will compare I very favorably with that of other na tions. The Filipino women are ex cep tlonally modest. A street flirtation li Manila, so far as a Filipino woman 1: concerned, is something that Is almos' unknown, as any American Usax Uaj flatted Manila will testify, Wife Kills Army Captain.

How Hwd You Like to Harvest Two Crops of (jom a Year as They Do in the Philippines? k < -f , tfr— I t K .it

No, reader, thi^ corn was not grown by one of oufcjo^li farmers I It wasn’t grown in the uiffied States, even. It was grown la the faroff Philippine Islands by Filipino schoolboys. Two fine crops of corn a year are produced in the Islands. The Philippines are doing some wonderful things in the agricultural line. The Philippine government has tine agricultural schools throughout the islands, and the Philippine legislature, composed entirely of Filipinos, is each year making larger and larger approorlatlons for this important work. The staple food of the islands is rice, out corn is coming right along in popular favor. Its use was given great impetus in the last year because of a rice

Williams St., Paulding, Ohio, said, “I neglected to docto r a cold which settled on my lungs. My cold grew worse until I coughed almc 1 constantly, I began to spit blood.

shortage. Other Important Philippine crops are hemp, sugar cane, cocoanuts, coffee, tapioca and pineapples. Lumber is also an Important industry. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of land lying idle in the Philippines, which have a greater area of fertile land than Japan—this in spite of the fact that the population of the Philippines is 11,000,000 while that of Japan is around 55,000,000. There is every reason to believe that some day the Philippines will have a population as large as that of Japan today. The Filipinos are the only Christian people in the orient, and their young men are working night and day to prepare themselves for the responsibility of citizenship in the Philippine Republic, which they believe to be near at hand.

When the fighting ceased tne Bandits herded the passengers to a small hill near the track, where Villa harangued them and threatened them with death. Later, according to eyewitnesses, he broke into tears and told them he would spare their lives out of respect to the memory of Gen. Felipe Angeles, who recently was executed by the Carranza authorities at Chihuahua City. Passengers Left Marooned. Williams and an American mer--1 chant, M. Nassar, were forced to accompany the bandits when they rode away, leaving the rest of the passenI gers marooned in a desolete country, bereft of their belongings and many i of them without their clothing, which had been taken by the robbers. According to R. J. Peltier, an American citizen resident of Mexico City, who was roughly handled and threatened with death, the bandits numbered about 300. They stopped the train by placing a charge of dynamite on the track which wrecked the engine. Rebel Leader Executed. Aguaprieta, Sonora, March 9. —Mateo Flores, a notorious rebel leader, has been executed by Carranza troops, ac- । cording to advices to the military cotni mander here. He was captured In Tampaullpas, the state where he operated, given a speedy court-martial and executed the same night. Value of Training. The value of systematic physical ' training for executives is being recognized by industrial concerns throughi out the country. It is well known that exercise for those whose work does i not normally provide it makes for 1 efficiency and little loss of time through illness.
