The Centary-ld Agitation in Spain for a Democracy Was Reflected in Her Colo- nies—He Says the Islands Contain the Most Fertile Soll for the Planting of the Best Type of Republican Institutions. Washington, April 8—Gen. MacAr- thur Tuesday continued his testi- mony concerning conditions in the Philippine archipelago before the sen- ate committee on the Philippines. He said that long before the advent of the Americans the germs of democ- racy had been planted and that these had originated in the agitations in Spain a century ago which had been reflected in the Spanish colonies. { He also described the conditions in , the archipelago at the time of the erican occupation, saying that at! + time the Filipinos were in a vin-: ictive and resentful mood toward with a yearly yearning for . Taking these psychological | conditions into account and also giv-! ing due heed to the character of the, people, he had felt when he assumed command of the islands that there | to be found the most fertile soil ‘or the planting of the best type of publican institutions. (en. MacAr- hur then took up and discussed eco- omic conditions in the archipelago, g that they are the finest group jalands in the world, occupying a position absolutely not ex- re led. Conténuing he said that the archi- pelago must necessarily exert an act- ive and potential influence upon the affairs of the entire east in both a politioal and a military way, He said our presence in the Philippines will always insure all the protection need- ed in the east and no one can now say how great those needs may be. Their position is such, he said, that from these islands we may observe i Ww een T MA Asia, as it must pass under the hadow of our flag. He therefore Mncluded that “the possession, the Amanent possession of the Philip- Pine archipelago is not only of su- preme importance but absolutely es- sential ‘to Ame n interests,” ; @IFT TO WILLIAMS COLLEGE ) Finest Chapel in the Country Will Be Erected by Mrs. Thompson as a Memo- rial to Her Husband = * Williamstown, Mass., April 8.—A new chapel, to be made one of the finest buildings of its kind in the countsy, is to be presented to Wil- Yams college by Mrs. F.

WE HAVE WHAT YOU WANT. The most accurate dropping corn planter on earth. The Deere No. 9. Accuracy of drop is the first perquisite in a perfect planter, and a short description of the No. 9 we sub- mit you. The seed plate has in place of the usual round holes, a number of chambers in its outer edge, each of which is designed to receive a kernel of corn edgewise. The peculiar construction of the hopper bottoms increases the filling of these chambers or cells. from top or from the side. The kernels may feed in The cut-off is perfection per- sonified, there is but one, others use two, hence there is ab- solutely no cracking of corn, you can drop any number of grains you desire. Be sure and examine the clutch stop movement, the spring chain tightener, enclosed valves. There is no clogging of the heel as iu other planters. You can, through a small opening in the top of runner shank, see each and every hill while driving along. It is always ready for drilling. You have no change whatever to make, jsimply push foot lever forward, you can drill 6 1-2, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 19 or 24 inches apart ; a convenient foot drop single check head, direct connection of the fork, width easily and quickly adjusted. The strongest frame and wheels ever put on a planter, automatic reel, and spring lift, open or closed wheel and adjustable seat. In fact it is the only up-to-date single kernel planter on earth, When anything has Deere’s name on it, it isa bona fide guarantee that it is all right. If you do not believe it, come and try a Deere High Lift, Deere Ranger or one of Deere’s Cultivator. We sold more Hoosier drills in 1901 than was sold of all other makes combined in this part of God’s moral heritage. Keep up with the times, use Deere’s own make, And you will eat puddins, pie and cake, These planters are Lulu’s. — The full line a gem, You_will never regret_it-if-you-buy-one-of-them, They're proof against competition, you'll use them if sane, And find they are quite satisfactory, Through grass and through blast, they stand very fast For they’re made by the John Deere factory, This is the first jingle of our spring poct, but he’ ll jin- as gle some more. Don’t forget the name o’er the door, and remember the place.
