Thus beceause. of the careless attitude of our native capitalists, our country is being exploited by foreigners. Now, ladies and gentlemen, upon what do you account for all of these carelessness of the Fili pinos? Why is it do you think that we are not interested in this industry? Is it because the physical and climatic conditions of our country prevent us from thus progressing? I should say no; for right here before us are opportunities offered by nature which are very essential helps along this development. In the first place, our soil is fertile, and is thus most adapted to agri culture. It is a kind of soil that any nation would be proud to own. In the second place, our seasons do not in any way obstruct agricul ture. We have here but the sunny and rainy season, in both of which, different kinds of crops could be raised. We have no winter here, as in America, when the ground is cov ered by ice, and thus plants are likely to be killed and the raising of agricultural products is, in many ways, made difficult. But even though such conditions exist in same countries still you will find those same countries able to raise products sufficient, not only for them selves, but also for others. Now there appears no excuse for the Fili pinos not being able to make these islands produce abundantly since the conditions here seem to be more favorable than in other coun tries. It might be that the Philippines do not progress much in agriculture because her citi zens are satisfied that their country is being supported by other nations. If it is true, gen tlemen, let us do away with such ideas for they are centainly wrong. If we ever mean at all to become an independent people, it is our duty at the very beginning to make our country self-supporting. “If it were ever a good policy on the part of Napoleon to insist that the requirements of a nation should be raised, if possible, within the limits of its borders; if the policy has been a correct one that every nation should be self supporting, there is no reason why we should not strive with our might and intelli gence to feed and clothe ourselves. Now, ladies and gentlemen, the recognizing of a fault or of a great need, is only half a country’s work. The correcting the fault, the supplying the need is the other, greater half if I may he paradoxical. Who is going to direct the Philippines in the future? to redirect them now? The HigliSehool graduates. Not by all of us becoming lawyers and office-seekers, but by many of us becoming farmers on a large or a small scale. Permit me to say that upon the shoulders of no other (‘lass of Filipinos does this heavy burden fall more severely than upon the shoulders of our present students. At a time like this, when our country is inogj unfortunate of having her older sons magnetic^ attracted by politics, at such a time as this when there is a great demand for educated farmers, the students must sacrifice their whole energy and do the best that they could to cure this national defect. Our agricultural schools if properly improved might be the most powerful agents in bringing these changes about. As they are today, they our not in my humble opinion in a condition to meet the requirements of our country. They are not now in such a shape as to arouse the spirits of young Filipinos to pursue agri culture. In fact, we have no real agricultural schools yet: we have only agricultural classes in a few schools and one well organized course —that in the Philippine Normal School. For these reasons, we the students, must unani mously unite in one big cry for a speedy construction of agricultural schools, a cry that will echo in the ear of our government and in the several ears of our legislators. Then, after these schools are improved, if we, the students, will be patriotic enough to take up agricultural rather than political pursuits, and if our native capitalists will likewise be patriotic enough to invest their money in agri cultural industries, especially since combined expert opinion of the world assures them that they can make each a fortune, all these forces, I sav, will solve this Great Philippine Problem.

Señor: * Tengo el honor de acusar recibo de su muy atenta comunicación, en la que se me nombra Socio Honorario de la Confederación, por esa Junta Directiva que V. tan dignamente preside. Al hacerlo así cúmpleme el deber de manifestar á toda la Junta Directiva, mis más sinceras gracias por el alto honor y aprecio con que han querido distinguirme á pesar de mi insignificante persona y mérito ninguno. Aún así y aunque el último de los hijos de la provincii que de tan preclaro nombre blasona, me siento sin embargo, orgulloso de poder os tentar este título con que Vds. me distinguen, porque podré ser siquiera el último, uno de los soldados que pueden militar bajo la bandera de la Confederación que según creo, sustenta un ideal muy santo y muy elevado, y que en sus procedimientos, seguro estoy, la Confederación, se ha guiado solamente y se guiará fie los sanos principios de la libertad democrática que debe ser la base más (‘stable, creo yo, sobre que edificar el ideal que todos ansian. BANGON . , 19 Pero más me llena ele satisfacción el saber que los jóvenes de la provincia se interesan por el bienestar común de todos y laboran por la pros peridad de esa provincia. Para mí, seguramente triunfarán, si' organi zados como lo están, van todos por el mismo camino y á un mismo fin, predicando así con el ejemplo la tolerancia mutua, indispensable para que las prácticas democráticas se aclimaten y arraiguen de una vez en éste suelo nuestro tan querido. Deseo aprovechar esta oportunidad para tribu tar á esa Confederación mi pequeño homenaje de simpatía por la labor grande' que se ha im puesto, ofreciéndome desde luego á trabajar en la medida de mis fuerzas con Yds., para que el éxito corone el esfuerzo de todos. De V. sinceramente, M. MANA LO. Jtnestra ráro Por exigencias del aju'ste, sentimos no poder publicar hoy varios trabajos de nues tros distinguidos colaboradores, prometien do darlos á la luz en el número siguiente. BASEBALL SA S.
