Declares Filipinos All
Want Independence
Former Illinois Congressman, Back From Philippines,
Gives Interesting Views on Island Affairs.

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.

the remarkable success he had had
with three litters of pigs he had sold
In market that day.
"Now," snlil old Peter, "them pigs

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

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,"'

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.

The successful operations on the

by a number of other surgeons. When

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

nerve fibers lead to the tongue or

cure on record of an epileptic who lost
