EDITORIAL PAGE
STATEHOOD A.\D THE itllUP
i'lXES.
Iu Iloilo, Panay, Philippine Is- !
lands, the Enterprise newspaper has
taken ud the always interesting sub-1
ject o' future government for the '
arcaipelagc, and iu such a moder
ate toue .is to merit aud ealist at
tention. Holding that the uicst ar-'
d >u' wisher of independence for the j
possession could not reasonably de
sire for It a larger measuro of po
litical freedom than is enjoyed by
the individual states of the Ameri
can ITnion, it asks, "Why not or
ganize a territorial form of govern
ment here, with the intention of
masing a state of the Philippines
later on?" Recalling the incident
in Itoman history where a question
arose as to the. manner of treating
the people of a conquered country,
aul wher* a distinguished senator
asked, "Why not make them Ko
m;:s citizens?" our contemporary I
urges the point that the United
States could take no step better cal
culated to make the Filipinos cou
teuted aud loyal than to confer up
on them the boon of American citi
zenship.
American institutions, it is aeiu,
are becoming popular in the Philip
pines. Tile younger natives are
beiii..- educated to thinls and act .is
Americans. Many o£ theui have vis
ited aad attended school iu tne
United .States. Not mauy changes,
it is contended, would bo necessary
to bring the counto' into such m
tim-te touch with American meiiioi
aai manners and customs in order
that statehood might be worn na
turally and gracefully by one or
more of the Philippine provinces,
it is conceded frankly that the is
lands are not prepared fur state
lio* d ,now; it is insisted that they
are prepared for territorial govern
ment, which would eventually lead
to statehood. A territorial gov
ernment would give opportunity for
a thorough trying out and testing of
tne capacity of the Filipino peo
ple for self-government. We are
assured thut they are as fond of
politics as are Americans them
selves. They like to have a hand
ia legislation and in government.
Their interest in good government
would iucrease with such responsi
bilities looking to its achievement
as might be thrown upon them.
Then again, there is the larger
American view—the view that com
prehends more than is contained
within the borders ci the United
Stales proper. Attention is directed
to the fact that neither Hawaii nor
Porto Rico will long be satisfied
with less than admission to the
Union. If these, or either of them,
shall be admitted, it is argued, the
Philippines will of course insist up
on equal treatment. Assuming this
tQ be the case, would it not be
wise now to give the latter terri
torial government?
To go no farther. New Mexico an
Arizona, it will be recognized, were
not hastily granted state govern
ment because they had been created
terrltcries. Efforts to bring New
Mexico into the Union begun be
fore It was organized as a terri
tory, and while an enabling act
was adopted in 1394 the territory
did not become a state until June
20, 1910. Arizona became a terri
tory in February, 1863, but was
not admitted to the Union until
the day and year Just named. There
is, as will bo seen, some weight iu
the argument that statehood need
uot ba thrust upon thd Philippines
precipitately simply because the
islands be organized as a territory.
Doubtless the nert congress will
consider this proposal in connec
tion w'th the Jones bill debate, and
it should lose nothing iu strength
because of the reasonable language
in which it is presented for con
sideration.
Tho Two Angels.
The following allegory Is told among
the Turks:
Every man has two guardian angels,
one on his right shoulder and one on
his left. In doing good the angel on
the right shoulder notes It down and
sets a seal m>on it, for what is done
Is done forever. When evil is com
mitted the angel on the left shoulder
writes It down, but ho waits until mid
night before he seals It. If by that
time the man bows his head and says,
"Gracious Allah, I have sinned; for
give me:" the angel blots out the fault,
but if not he seals It at midnight, and
then the ungel on the right shoulder
weeps.

A Home Products Dinner.
In order to sustain the Interest In
home products which had been aroused
among Sioux Falls residents last au
tumn through the holding of a "Made
In Sioux Falls" exhibition, the Com
mercial club of thnt city recently held
a "Made In Sioux Falls'' dinner. Each
article served had been made In that
city, the menu specifying the brand or
maker of the viand in every Instance.
The dinner, was paid for by the manu
facturers. anil the guests were the re
tall merchants who were In a position
to handle homo produced goods.
Talks were given upon community
building and the promotion of home In
dustries. It Is believed that the occa
sion was the means of bringing about
a better understanding between the
manufacturer and retailer and of cre
ating a desire for co-operation among
them.
Advice to Young People.
Be not a counterfeiter, my boy.
Counterfeits dou't make good.
Seek public office If you will, but
where many things occur, fow take
place.
My daughter, always give the cen
sus taker your present husband's name.
Why confuse him with a recital of past
divorce or future alimony?
Ability, my children. Is not all of one
kind. One man gets what he wants
because we like his amiability; another
because we fear his Irritability. Some
professors ai'e accounted wise because
of their Incomprehensibility, and I
know a man who draws a pension for
tr»tal disability.
My boy, I hope they'll call you "the
salt of the earth;" but have some gin
ger and pepper on your mental prem
ises. too.—Judge.
