Why the administration is insisting upon the .passngo o Uio pending bill to enlarge tlio measure of self-government of tlio Philippine islands was explained to tho ficntito Philippine eommittee lodny by Secretary Onrrison. In n long prepared slnlcmcnt ho de clared tho measure had been im properly termed "tho Philippine in dependence bill," and thai it was merely n Htcp with proper safeguards toward self-government ntid exactly 'in line with promises held out to the Filipinos for years by tho United States. The preamble, which would declare tho intention of the United States dlimotely to grout complete inde pendence, to the islands, Secretary 'Harrison said, was but n repetition of pledgfes already mndo over and over again. Conditions Improving What the next htcp should be, when it should be taken, what, conditions would properly surround the grant of absolute independence and other like speculations, it seems to mo are idlo and their consideration at this time would only bo confusing." In view of "the recent exaggerated accounts of petty disturbances in the islands," the secretary said it was particularly interesting to note that former President Tnft, when governor-general of the islands, Imd said that rb n result of the attitude of the .American press and of the American merchant in his hostility to tho Fili pino, "every smnll Lndrono fight, ev ery discomfort the constnbulnry suf fered was exaggerated and made the bants for inference that conditions in tho islands were retrograding rather than improving." To Keep Pledges "What tho United Strftcs should do concerning the Philippines," snid Mr. Onrrison in opening his statement, "can only bo determined projcrly by keeping two things constantly in mind: One, tho duty of the United States to itself; aiid tho other, it duty in viow of the pledges and as surances it bus made to tho Filipino people. "The United States has assumed responsibilities with rcsject to tlic( Philippines which, in the highest spirit of self-respect, it must dis charge rightfully nt whatever cost. "Tho bill is so framed as to pro vido unothcr step along tho line of self-government. Tho wisdom and propriety of it can only bo determin ed by keeping in mind tho two view points adverted to and by considering jho hihtory of our relations to the ll'liilippincs and tho present situation "therein. a Accept Responsibility "Wo hnvo entire hope," ho said, "thnt tho Filipinos will accept this lidded responsibility and make such good use of the opportunity as to demonstrate its widum and prepare tho way for the next onwnrd move. "It is difficult to sco whut proucr objection can bo mado to tho ro visious of tho bill itself," snid the secretary in conclusion. "If we con sidered it, as I have insisted before that wo should, in view of our duty to ourxelvcs and to tho nation, and in view of our obligations to the Fili pino people, as made on our behalf bv those speaking for us, o find that it fully measures up to our obliga tions in each respect. Good faith o those to whom wo have pledged our selves requires us to stay as long as wo must; and good will to tho island ers, in accordance with our pldges and assurances, requires us to stay no longer than is necessary to test and roach conclusions as to their ca pacity in managing their own af fairs." ORGANIZING A BEET SUGAR CLUB IN MEDFORD As tho Interest of tho beet factory is growing throughout tho valley, soino of tlie cMions of Medford arc beginning to figure how thoy can as bIs( In Increasing tho acrcaga to be planted to beats.

OFFERS J100 FOR BEST ACRE SUGAR ' BEETS GROWN One hundred dollars for the best aero of sugnr beets grown In the Hoguo river valley. This Is tho prlxo held up to far mers of Jackson county by W. I. Vawter, president of tho Jackson County Hank, before len!ng Satur day for Satem. "The sugar factory docs not need money for tho first sack of sugar made," said Mr. Vawter, "but tho beet grower does.

Logging operations will continue all winter on South Inlet, Coos Hay.
