Only two years ago I heard the same argument made against a very respectable minority of the peo- ple of this country. The money loaners, who coerced borrowers, did it upon that theory; the employers who coerced their employes did it for the same reason. Self-government increases with partici pation in government. “The Filipinos are not far enough ad- vanced to share in the government of the people of the United States, but they are competent to govern themselves. It is not fair to compare them with our own citizens, because the American people have been educating themselves in the science of government for nearly three centuries, ard while we have muchto learn, we have already made great im- provement, The Filipinos will not es. tablish a perfect government, but they will establish a government as nearly perfect as they are competent to enjoy, and the United States can protect them from molestation from without GIVE FILIPINOS TIME. **Give the Filipinos time and opportu. nity, and while they never will catch up with us, unless we cease to improve, yet they may some day stand now. “What excuse can be given for the adoption of a colonial policy ?

The first sewing machine was brought to this valley nigh fifiy years ago. It was a Singer machine and owned by a tailor by name of Young, near Centre Hill, and was considered a wonderful thing. It was coarse in construction, mounted on a short, square board, and operated by an ordinary pedal, under the tailor's bench. It more Jooked like a sewing machine of these days than does a smoked sausage look like a law. yer. the “‘wonderful” thing answered all the purposes of the country tailor.
