Outlook's Review of tike ' Philippine Question i to ths name of America. hut-th alu ;hav Iom to by Mrttbur a M ich- ter in tnt nistory of human develop ment The following able "review of the Philippine question appear In th current number of the Outlook: J mtxl Ireland tn hi Interesting and valuable article on "American Ad. ministration n the Philippine Is land)" contributed ' to thla kuue of the Outlook, thus define hla point of lew: "That he (the Filipino) can re-j nam In hi present geographical en-! vtronment free tram the constant vetrlght of a non-tropical race, and J?: recome, even In the courae of ,! creature of school, ballot box, and free political Institution. I beyond any flight of Imagination whica I checked! by. th Imalleat knowledge of tropical life. j I - .Sometime Self-governing, j I That Is not the American point of Jlew. The American belleTC that "cry race of man la every land and In very climate can become In time "a restore of schools, ballot boxes, and free political institutions." That la SBOft'than a political opinion bred tn the school of experience; It Is more than a political conviction born with the birth of the nation: It la a spiritu al faith. It la the secret of the Amer ican 'spirit of humanity, of Its open Boo to the foreigner, of its war for theemanelpatlon of the slave, of the enthusiasm ' which has made It the progressive and ,proprou nation that It I. If 4t ever lose faith In man. It ceases to be American. For the . low ef that faith would' b more than : any eoneelvabl change In . Its laws or Its .constitution. It would b a change In the spiritual fiber of the people them selves. I That the American 'administration In the Philippines has been accom panied by serious mistakes no lone would be quicker, to admit thaai some of those who have been conducting that administration. That the aystem of taxation need radical change H recognised by , the Philippine coin mission and by them argsd, upon congress. That the I tandera need good roads snd generous .expenditures tor that purpose la rec ognised by the recent action of the United State senate, ' 1 That the school system should make more adequate provision for In dustrial education is very probable. That tbe expenditures may be , re duced Is possible; though It must not be forgotten that It coat more to make a people self-governing than It does to govern them. Education Necessary. But no arguments can change the oonvlatlon of the American people that expenditures for an education which makes men add more to the wealth of a community than expendi tures which make roads. Irrigating systems, forest conservancy, and good market pisses. ., . . . No arguments can shake their faith that It 1 possible to make of the Fili pino people a people of schools, bal lot boxes, and free political Institu tions. If this Is an ideal of Imagina tion,' It Is one to the realisation of whlah the American people have committed themselves, and from their self-appointed task the Outlook does not believe any arguments derived from the experience of the past iwill Induce them to draw back. Ever since American sovereignty has been established In the Islands It baa been used with one end kept con stantly In view; namely, the develop 'ment of a .self-governing community cut of a people who have neither by Inheritance nor training a present ap titude for self-government. American Mission. Outlined. This is the reason why America' pledged her national credit iln order to purchase the lands from the friars and -overthrow the ecclesiastical and economic servitude which wss fatal to self-government; why she devoted the energies of her army officers, veil before the Insurrection waa yet .over, to establish a system of public education which experience has Shown to be essential to self-government; why she is reluctant to allow Ameri can 'capitalists to become .large land. -owners, because she wishes to reserve the Public lands for th Filipino why, she Is reluctant to admit the Chinese, because she fear the disas trous effect of their competition on the less efficient native laboring pop ulation; why she has organised a con fessedly complicated and expensive system of government, because only by Allowing .tbe .Filipinos to manage, and If need be mismanage, their town affairs, and to have some voice In their provincial and general 'govern xnent,' though thla- involves temporar ily both t poorer and more expensive administration, can tbe Filipinos be taught to govern themselves. No doubt England has governed subject peoples .admirably, and the Crown colony la a simpler and cheap r form of government that th one we have adopted In th Philippine. Mo doubt, too, under such an auto cratic form of government th is lands would be developed more rap idly. ' DevekjpmeDt, Not Exploiting. But America Is attempting to de velop, not the islands, but the in landers; not to govern them, but to train them to govern themselves, sat lafled if while the training is going on the provisional government can fur nish a reasonable protection to per. on, property, and Industry. .We greatly mistake 'the temper.of tne American people If, they are turn ed aside from this task by either the difficulty or the expense until the .ex periment has been fully tried. To af firm, as Mr. Ireland appears to do, that no tropical people can by train ing be fitted for self-government Is scarcely yeas doctrinaire thaa P af firm, as th Boston anti-imperialists seem to do, that every tropical people is fit for self-government without training.

Dodge. several years ago by Theobald, a for mer treasury agent, was placed on view for Inspection today, prepara tory to Its being sold at public auc tion. Tha sale Is set for tomorrow and will take place In' the United States marshal's office. The sale Is probably the most no table of Its kind that has ever taken place In this city and will culminate a case that has attracted national at tention. When Mrs. Dodge disem barked from the steamship St. Paul in June, 1899, she said that most of ths Jewelry she had with her was bought In this country. Two boxes, however, marked with the name of Parisian Jewelers, were, found, and tha Jewelry was confiscated. A year later the case was brought up In the United States district court and on ths paymentof a part of the required duty Mrs. Dodge regained all the seized Jewelry except the famous necklace. Later the case was brought up before the United States supreme court, and a decision against Mrs. Dodge was made. 8he then brought the case before President Roosevelt, tut he refused to Interfere. mmmrmmmmmairmmKi 1 1 i i mmm ') ' C m 1 '.. .1 ; ' t il t j, I ,:!

CONVENTIONS AT THE FAIR, Meetings of National Associations and Excursions Will Bring Thousands to the Lewis and Clark Centennial. Portland, Jan. 2. Attracted by the prospect : of a trans-continental trip, by ths fame of Portland as one of the most beautiful cities In the United State, and by the stories of great things to be seen at the Lewis and Clark exposition, many associations of land-wide membership are plan ning to hold conventions at Portland next summer during the centennial. Most of the conventions will be held In Festival hall at the exposition, where the large auditorium, built for such purposes, will be found an at tractive meeting place. Other associations which arranged to hold their annual meetings at other cities have planned to attend the fair In a body. The total number of gatherings so far scheduled Is about 30, and these will bring an ag gregate of some 10,000 people to the fair. ; ,. , Besides these, many other national organisations, as well as a number of Western associations, will probably plan tor conventions to be held at the Western World's fair. Probably the most important, from a sclentlfie standpoint at least will be the convention of the American Med ical Association, which will be held July 11-14, and bring together 2500 doctors, many of national or world wide fame. The Associated Frater nities of America , will meet 2000 strong,, the National Good Reads As sociation will bring together as. many members, and the National .Associa tion of Letter Carriers will probably bring 000 to the exposition. ; New fork, Jan.- 4. Fall or volun tary leaps from the high bridge over the East river are not .unusual occurrences, but the experience of Charles Summerfleld, an Iron worker. who , fell from- th Wltllattsburg bridge the other' day Into the. East river,, a dlstano of 125 feet waa a remarkable as It was Jthrlilng. , Summerfleld was at work on, a girder wheu his foot slipped on an' Ice-covered plank. He clutched, for. the girder, gave a yell aad slid off through the network of steel. He turned two complete somersaults be fore he covered half the dlstano to the river. Then he aeemed to gather himself as one would do If he were preparing to take a leap. He doubled his knees against his cheat, clasped his hands around them and ducked his hsad. The man' composure waa remarkable, and those who witnessed his acts were astounded' that he oould control himself in midair. , Ha evi dently clearly saw his danger, and did his best to save hi life. Striking the water on his side he disappeared. In a few seconds he came to the surface, and -began swimming for all he was worth.- Those who were watching from the bridge saw him take several strokes and then turn w nis sioe. In a few moments he was pulled aboard a tug and taken to a hospital. When he regained consciousness Sum merfleld said that he was formerly k circus performer, and that hi train ing In th ring probably saved his life. This fact explains hi remark able actions when In midair. ; i Aa Artificial Island, r The proposition to build an artifi cial Island In that part of New. Tork bay where the. water la so , shallow that great difficulty I experienced. In keeping clear the channels used by large steamships, has been revived. and Brooklyn congressman are pre paring to present the project to the national legislature, , For 12 years ths government has been engaged In deepening what Is known as the Am brose channel, but the work has pro ceeded very slowly on account of the continued filling In of the excava tions by cross currents. ' It Is now proposed tfiat a part of the harbor be filled up and to build two long Jet ties that would guide the currents so as to sweep a wide channel deep enough for the passage of the biggest ocean liners at low tide. , To Build Moving Platform. As the development of New York's present transportation boom, which Includes plans for the extension of all the existing systems and for ths building of new lines, overhead, underground and under water, a great moving platform now looms up as more than ' a probability. The novelty Is part of the Pennsylvania railroad's system to handle the thous ands of passengers coming from and going to Its new terminal station, and will be operated across town under Thirty-fourth street, or from First avenue to Ninth avenue. According to experts the moving platform will permit the loading and unloading of 750 passengers a minute while the train Is In motion, or the delivering of 47,250 passengers an hour at a given point, which is about double the capacity of the Inter bor ough. The time saved In making the cross-town trip, based on the speed of the present trolley cars, will be about Your minutes. There will be two platforms, one running east and the other west. Each platform Is really a set of four, three for constant use and an auxiliary, which may be used at night or any other time when needed. The first of 'the three regu lar platforms, It Is proposed, ' will move at a speed of three miles, the second at six and the third 'at nine miles. The thltd platform will be pro vided with seats placed crosswise. Vmol Conialail ' .., umes Meiixn-s, . MrJ HlLJ I m company, ou, 13k 1 ys -such testlmor. """""i lowlhr' . m.
