WASHINGTON, Jan. 0: Socrctary Boot
Kvo on Interesting exposition of the condi
tion of affairs In tlio Philippines, togothor
with tho outlook for tor;nlnatlng mllltnry
by civil rulo In tho course of a hearing to
dny before tho house com'mlttoo on military
r affairs In connection with the army appro
priation bill. Tho mcotlng was bohlud
closed doors and no exact statement of
llr. Itoot'H remarks was Riven out, although
tho fplIowinR Is ..Bald to omliody tho more
essential features:
The discussion of tho Philippines condi
tion ivos brought out by a (ucstlon of Mr.
Hay of Virginia as to whether civil govern
ment could bo nialatuincd In the Island
without tho presence of tho nrmy. In re
ply Mr. Hoot Btnted that tho nrmy was
noccssary as n moral forco to mnlntaln tho
civil Administration now established. One
of tha'wnln .cauaes(yh;mW,-'wMy there had
not been Hnoro progress In, tho Philippine!)
was that tho Spoancr amendment passed
by congress Inst year nnd restricting the
grant of frnnchlBcs, had the effect of pro
venting the Investment of carltnl and the
consequent employment of labor. Many
peoplo wero Idlo nnd many of theso became
conspirators simply because they wore ldlo.
ImliiNtr)' nt a MliiiiilNtlll.
Tho secretary Instanced tho fnct that al
though rice was ono of tho main products
of tho Philippines, yet about $.",000,000
worth of rlco had to bo Imported last year.
In this nnd many other branches of Indus
tries tho wheels of Industry wero not mov
ing, tho peoplo out of employment wero
encouraged In vlclousness nnd as a result
It wns necessary to keep 40,000 troops In
tho Islands. In soma provinces a very sat
isfactory civil administration had been sot
,u p.
nut Mr. Itoot pointed out thnt oven In
province whoro civil government had been
a success there wero men conspiring to as
sist In tho agitation and wnrfaro carried
on In neighboring provinces.
On tho whole, howevor, tho secretary ex
pressed tho belief that If congress enacted
tho bill proposed by Senator Lodge, or thnt
of representative Coopor providing sys
tems of lnws for tho Philippines, It would
bo pofslblo soon thereafter to gradually re
duco tho military establishment In tho
Philippines. Ho did not believe It would
bo a rnpld pr completo termination of mil
itary rulo, ns tho conditions among tho na
tives were firmly fixed and It would tnko
considerable, time to bring about tho new
order of affairs.
Sixteenth Century (Jo veriuneii t.
Mr. Hoot said that hotter progress had
been made In tho last year than had beon
expected and ho expressed tho opinion that
civilization, ultimately, would be extended
to tho peoplo of tho Islands. To lllustrnto
this point, ho said, the, Philippine people
hnd been in effect living under .a sixteenth
century government nuil the United Stntes
wanted to glvo them .a twentieth century
government.
The slttmtlon in" Cuba wns discussed only
brlolly, as Mr. Hoot remarked that wo wero
Dimply trustees there, 'whereas our Interest
In tho Philippines was much moro definite
nnd extended, .particularly over tho largo
inveop of .public lands. Mr. Hoot also
stated during tho hearing that It was the
expectation of tho War department to do
awoy with tho nrmy transport service, so
that tho transportation pf troops thereafter
would bo carried on by private concerns.
Somo questions had .been raised by moni
tors of tho commltteo as to tho propriety
of an Item In. tho bill of $1,000,000 for emer
gency expanses pf tho War department. The
secretary said this amount- was unneces
sary and had been estimated through over
sight, so that) the' commltteo will doubt
less omit thls emergency fund from tho
bill. '

DECIDE TO HAVE SALARIED SECRETARY
President Thomns of the Nntlnnnl Im

Speaks for In Mr of Manu
facturer nnd Denier.,
With tho election of officers yesterday
the annual convention of tho Nebraska and
Western Iowa Implement Dealers' associa
tion came to an end. Tho following officers
were named:
II. I. Shumway, Wakefield, president;
Nell Ilrennan, O'Neill, vice president; N. U
Maloney, Ksicx, la,, director. Tho names
of- these officers wero submitted by J. S.
Thomas of Lexington, chairman of the com
mittee on nominations, nnd tho report ot
tho commltteo was adopted by tho unani
mous vote of the convention.
At the suggestion of tho conferenco com
mltteo tho association decided to employ n
secretary, who shall bo paid an annual
salary to bo agreed upon by tho board of
directors and shall dovoto all his time to
organizing county and district associations
for tho purposo ot bringing Implement deal
ers Into more harmonious relations, Tho
secretary Is to bo elected by tho board ot
directors, which consists ot the president
and vice president and tho following di
rectors: O. Daemon, Seward; L. J, Ulower,
David City; N. U Maloney, Essex, la. A
secretary will probably be named within
the next few weeks. H. Lubkcn of Co
lumbus was selected as delegate to tho
next annual mcotlng of tho Federation of
Implement Dealers' Associations.
The location and date ot tho next annual
mcotlng of tho association will bo decided
by tho board ot directors at Its annual
summer meeting, to be held at Lincoln tho
second day of tho Nobraska stato fair.
To Have flnlnrlrd Sreretnry.
An cxccutlvo session was held by tho
convention early In tho morning for tho
purpose of discussing plans for reorganiza
tion. Tho conference commltteo favored
the employment of a secretary who shall
devote all his tlmo to the affairs ot tha
association, and urged that such an offlccr
could effect an organization which would
mako It poeslblo for tho association to
bring about many reforms It Is seeking. It
was suggested that the salary ot such an
officer bo paid by increasing tho annual
dues of members from 13 to $5.
When theso recommendations were
brought before tho convontton In open ses
Blon many members showed their approval
of tho plan by showering tho socretary
and treasurer with money. Tho report ot
tho conference committee was enthusi
astically rccolved and was adopted with
out opposition.
The, treasurer's report shows that thero
Is a balance ot $18.34 in the treasury. This
Is the first time in tho history ot the as
soctatlon when It has not begun a year's
work with a deficiency of at least $100.
W. S. Thomas ot Springfield, O., -president
of tho National Implement and Vehicle as
sociation, addressed tha convention on the
mutual Interests of tho manufacturers and
retailers of Implements.
tneiika for Manufacturer.
"Manufacturers and dealers aro both in
terested In reducing tho prices of machin
ery, and It is within the power of each to
do much that will bring about tho desired
reduction," said Mr Thomas. "You may,
rest assured that the' manufacturer Is' cut
ting the cost ot production as low as pos
sible. Dealers secure better terms whero
they buy their machinery outright than
where they havo It consigned to them.
Much expense Is added to the cost ot mar
keting machinery by the omploymout ot
traveling agents who assist a denier In mar
keting his wares. Every dealer should bo
his own salesman. Much ot tho expenso of
marketing farming machinery Is caused un
necessarily by the dealers who countermand
orders and compel the factories to sell their
goods twlco. Each year tho dealer and tho
manufacturer are coming nearer togothcr.
Both ore doing much to bring about har
monious relations which will do away with
traveling agents and make It possible for
tho local dealers to supplant catalogue
houses."

Thero Is a good deal more wheat than

Judgo that fully CO per cent ot the acreago

C. C. Jones, Hastings, Adams County
Farmers In Adams county are ln first-class
condition. It was tho wheat that helped
us out. Our corn did not run ten bushols
to tho aero except along tho bottoms. Dut
we havo three-fourths of the ground ln
wheat now. Collections have been better
during 1901 than over, so good, In fact, that
many old notes of long standing havo been

more wheat tools than any other Imple
