aroused the Secretary Is hard to figure, for the present Indications are that the Colombian and Nlcaraguan treaties will be pending for a long time to come, especially now that the Senate has been antagonised by the President, and has shown a disposition to resist those measures which the Administra tion is forcing. It has been doubtful from the beginning whether the Presi dent could muster enough votes to force the ratification of the Colom bian treaty, because many Democratic Senators, even In the previous session when the President was strongest, de clared their .opposition to that agree MVroliall 5080.

WASHINGTON. Jan. I. Ex-President Taft today told the Senate committee working; on the Administration bill for Th11tnnlYii indciendence that the peo cla or the inlands. In his opinion, would be unfitted for Belf-Rovernment for the next 3 years probably for the next half oentury. Democratic party prom- lea of Independence, he asserted, had been fruitful of unrest, to which he attributed In a measure the recent rev olutionary disturbances. Neither Presidents McKlnlcy. IJoose Telt nor himself, he said, contemplated turolns- tha rhlltDDtnes over to the people before they were educated for aelf-xovernment. He quoted from Fresldent Wilson's wrltlnas that "self-frovernment Is not a mere form of institution, but a form f character." Character Mmnt Be AeajalreJ. "We cannot present the Filipino peo ple with a character." Mr. Taft said. "It must be acquired. You cannot make ever a people In one feneration. The time that will be necessary to train the Filipino people for self-government Is the time that will be necessary to make them an rJnsMlsh-speaklng- peo ple. If you give these people Inde pendence now. or by 1920. either a Dial would arise In the Philippines or they would ret Into a condition that caused the fall of IMax In Mexico." Mr. Taft said be had told President McKlnley the United States ought not to be In the Islands. "He xaid to me." aald Mr. Taft. "that we had a bear by the tall and had to stay, but the Idea vraa we would get out aa soon as we could." Mr. Taft opposed In detail the Ad ministration bill for a greater measure of self-government for the Islands, de claring that "no measure could be framed better calculated .to stir up trouble In the Philippines. Tbraat-Cattlas; Will Begla. "The Filipinos do not understand republican self-government In the sense that we know It." the cx-Pres-Ident said. -What would be the result If they were given self-government at once?" asked Chairman Hitchcock. "A Filipino In. whom I have great confidence," said Mr. Taft "said to me: Tour steamers would not be around C'orregidor Island before the throat cutting would begin." I verily believe that Is true.

The ex-President said the obli gation of the United States to defend the Philippines inlsht be a "source of weakness in time of war." "But." be continued, "I don't believe that any of the nations now engaged in the European war would look on the possession of the Philippines as a naval base as a aource of weakness." Mr. Taft declared that In his opinion Japan had no desire to take the Phil ippines. "I twice visited Japan and conferred with the authorities on that very point." he continued, "and It's my opin ion that their experiences in Formosa have been quite enough in that direc tion." "I believe Mr. Roosevelt still feels that way, as I do." he said. "Of course I am not In Mr. Roosevelt's confidence, but I judgo that is his position."

(Special.) To George Otten. of Portland, has fallen the responsibility of superintending the development of North Hudson I'acls consisting of a tract of 200 acres upon the bluffs of the Hudson River, on the New Jersey shore, only a few stone throws from the famous Riverside Drive. Not only will this park form an Important link In the chain of parks that are included In the plans of Hud son County, N. J., but its construction at this time, when the wail of the un employed is being heard upon all hands. is furnishing lobs for 400 men. By some peculiar chance, a laJce. 20 acres In extent with surrounding marsn lands, has been formed upon the promt nence at the site of the park. This feature makes the locality undesirable for residences, but ideal for landscape development. Charles N. AOwrte. gifted and , well-known '. landscape architect, is. supervising . the work through Mr. Otten. , , . "The park is planned," says Mr. Otten. "to furnish some attraction- to every one. It is to be equipped with ball fields. - athletic grounds, tennis courts, swimming - pools, children's playgrounds, club houses, comfort sta- tons. band standh and, many other mln or features." Mr. Otten is continuing his graduate work In Columbia University by attend ing night classes. He is a graduate of the University of Oregon in the class of 1911. This coming Spring Mr. Otten will return to Portland to work with his father, a well known landscape architect. T. l.onS dOlPHOlJB BACKER HaS GUARD SfOW.
