TAVENNER. Tht 10,000.000 Inhabitants of the Philippines in practically unanl moua In their de sire fur lud.-penj- euce. T h I Is the strongest Impres sion Unit I bave brought back villi me after louring the Islninls from one end to the Clyde H. Tavenner. other, ana at"" having come i" contact with all classes of the people. 1 found, however, that the viewpoint f Americana In the Philippines, and Americana In the United Stutes, on the subject of Independence, Is not the same. ; The attitude of the American gov ernment, and the great mass of the people of the United Suites, Is to con sider the Philippine question from the unselfish viewpoint of what Is best for the Filipino people Ninety-five per cent of the opposition to Inde pendence emanates from American In vestors In the Islands who are quite naturally more Interested In the size of their dividends than the freedom of an alien people. ' The unfortunate feature of the sit uation Is that the opponents of Inde pendence, In order to convince the peo ple of the United States that the Fili pinos should not be granted their In dependence, And It necessary to libel an entire race. To tell a sensitive Cbrlstlun people tbnt they shnll not have their promised Independence bo cause they are not lit for It will In the end prove a mistaken policy. It will only make their OVinuud for In dependence the stronger, j At the present time, however, the masses of the Filipino people still bave absolute confidence In the good faith of America. Their loyalty nud gratitude to Uncle Bum baa not as yet been Impaired by the misrepre sentations of the retentlonlsts. Their leaders are Intelligent enough to dis tinguish between those Americans who oppose their aspirations to in dependence for purely Bullish reasons, and the greut mans of the American people whom they know desire this government to do by the Filipinos only that which Is Just and right. In this connection, It Is Interesting to review the development of the pres ent friendly relationship between the Filipino and American peoples. I Previous to 11)10 the Philippine American relationship Is declared 10 bave been not of tho best. Hut with the passage In that year of the Jones law by practically both the Republican and Democratic memberships of Con gix'ss, a better feeling developed. This "better feeling" bus now grown Into a very strong bond of sympathy aud affection. The happy attitude of the Filipino people towurd America Is due nut prin cipally to the fact that Americnns have shown tho Filipinos how to make their country a better place to live in; not principally to tho fact we bave superintended the Implanting In the Philippines of one of the finest edu cational systems In the world; nor to the building of high class roads, bridges und public works but Is due principally to the fact that In the Junes luw America gave the Filipinos her word of honor that as soon as a stable government could be esluhllsh ed we would withdraw our sovereignly from the Philippine Islands. It might, nl llrst thought, seem strange that In their sincere appie clatlon of nil that we have done fur them the Filipino people should place uiost iupliusls on the promise to grunt them their Independence. For It can not be successfully denied that on t lie whole the Unite Stales has Healed the Filipino people better than any nation ever treated a dependent alien people In all the dnys since the curtain rose on the dawn of civilization. If we do not spoil It, It Is a record thut we cun be proud of. Hut It reully Isn't so strange that the Filipino should luve us more for our promise to give tliein sovereignly over themselves than for our oilier good works, for which, after all, out side of army und navy expenditures, the Filipinos have been taxed, and properly so, for every cent of the coil. If ho bat reverse the slluutlon, and place ourselves In the shoes of the Filipinos, which cannot be said to be an unfair way of getting at the other fellow's viewpoint, we shall see thut It is not strune. Suppose that (jreut llrltnln or any other power Unit you cun think of by re ferring to your geography or history, should Impose lis sovereignty upon us against our "ill and then give us an Infinitely belter government I linn we now enjoy? Could any such foreign power ever succeed In convincing ufl that It had our welfare more ut heart than we have ourselves. Put to return to my story, the Fili pinos heartily thanked us for the Jones luw, considering It a aort of a covenant between the Filipino and American peoples, and Immediately applied themselves to the task of set ting up the. prescribed statile govern ment. And they set It up. It Is in the Philippines now. America's own representative In the Islunds, (lie gov ernor general, otllelully reports It Is there, and recommends thai since the Filipinos have earnestly fill 111 u-il their part of the agreement, America should bo us prompt In currying out Its part of i lie contract. So that. In a few words. It Is not the Philippines that now are on trial, but I lie L ulled States. There Is but one answer. Amerlcu will curr out Its agreement. And since we arc going to do it, we cannot afford to u!bhlu and split hairs and hes-llate until our taril.uess robs us of half tho glory of our achievement. Let us act with a promptness und will ingness really worthy of America. Aud when the people of the United States set up the Philippine Republic as the first Christian democracy of the Far Fast, they will be building a monument to tin-involves that will stand throughout eterully.' On that day the beacon light of hope, humanity and Justice will dash around the v.orlil Such an example by Ainertcu will hc compllsh more for the weal and strug gling peoples of t lie earth than the four year world war, with all Its cost lu life und treasure.

BLACKSMITH ALSO IN LINE Farmer Discovered Ho Was Not the Only One Who Was Taking Down Good Profits. While Tom lilRKers, the vlllaire blncksmlth, tolled over the plowshare brought In by old Peter Miilllns, the fanner, the owner told at length of the remarkable success he had had with three litters of pigs he had sold In market that day. "Now," snlil old Peter, "them pigs was loss than eight months old ; mid they brought me ten cents a pound or a little above $400. Why, Tom, only n few years ngo them snirte pigs would have fetched me only about half ns much. I tell you. Tom, the farmer Is glllln' his harvest, now." fly till time Hlggers had completed the sharpening of the share, and he handed It to Peter. From a well-worn purse old Peter took forth two dimes the usual price 'for such n Job. and dropped them Into the blacksmith's hand. "Sny, Peter," observed Biggers, "you'll have to come ngnln. I charge thirty cents since the ttrst of the year for sharpening thnt plow." "That's an outrage!" spattered old Peter. "Why have you raised the price on me?" "To buy some of that high-priced pork you were Just telling me about,"' snlil Diggers, with a grin. Philadel phia Ledger. FUNGI THAT DAMAGE CANVAS Frequently Within the Space of Thro Months the Material Will Be Made Useless. Sfn.lor W. Brotigbton:Alcock of tho British nnny made some studies on the fungi that cause black and brown spots on canvas tents, awnings, etc.. and thnt bring about a more or less rapid destruction of such articles. A note on the subject by J. Ramsbottom appears In Nature. The Investigations were carried out partly In Malta, where. It Is said, awnings Inst only about n year. The principal destruc tive agents In the case of cotton and tl.'ix-mr.ile canvas were found to he Muornsporlum'nnd Stempbylluin. The variation In the color of the spots Ir found to be due to the presence of various other fungi In association with the genera above mentioned. The first signs of fungoid growth appear on the Inner side of the roof poitlons of tents and marquees. Often within three months pressure on the spots made by the fungi lends to perfora tion, or a strong wind causes tearing. Experiments showed that the Wllles den (ruprnmmnnlum) method and cutch treatment prevented the growth of the fungi. Scientific American. Medical Triumph. The successful operations on the brain of epilepsy patients performed by Pt. Waller E. Dandy of Johns Hopkins university, and by Dr. Cnr t!s Burnhum hnve now been verified by a number of other surgeons. When a definite set of muscles are affected In the epilepsy spasms selsures, at tacks, fits, convulsions or loss of con sciousness, as It may be called, the disease can often be traced to some fluid matter, scar or cyst which cov ers the section of the brain whose nerve fibers lead to the tongue or fingers. In other words, the first cure on record of an epileptic who lost consciousness during the nttnek was triumphantly brought to pass by Doc tor Dandy.
