WILSON MAY DELAY PHILIPPINE LIBERTY Independence in Not Less Than 2 Years or More Than 4 Is Believed Desire. . BORAH IS FOR AMENDMENT Senator Says Talk of Self-Government Is Futile, but That United States Should Cut Ixrase and Let Isles .Save Selves. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Granting idependence to the Philippine Islands in not less than two years and not more than four years may be favored by the Wilson Administration. Senator Hitch cock, chairman of the Senate Philippine committee, discussed with President Wilson late today a provision to that effect which Senator Clarke, of Arkan sas, had introduced as an amendment to the pending Philippine bill. After conferring with the President, Senator Hitchcock, while he would not say what the President had told him, indicated It was probable the amend ment would have the Administration's support. He said he would have to talk with other Senators before decid ing deflnely whether the change would be accepted. The President previously opposed another amendment proposed by Senator Clarke proposing Independ ence for the Philippines within two years. Senator Hitchcock went to the White House at the request of Mr. Wilson- to discuss features of the Philippine bill and the chances of securing its passage in the near future. Borah Favors Independence. Senator Clarke's amendment was the subject of an animated discussion in the Senate during the day. Senators Borah, Republican, and Thomas, Demo crat, both expressed themselves as be lieving the good of the United States lay in cutting off the Philippines as soon as possible. Senator Colt. Repub lican, asserted that it would be an act of injustice to the Filipinos and a breach of good faith on the part of the United States to grant independence within the time proposed by the amend ment Senator Borah said he did not believe the Filipinos would be capable of self- government within a century. "It would be altogether to our advantage to drop the Philippines," he said. "If we stay longer, we are staying for the benefit of the Filipinos, not for the benefit of the United States. Result Is ia Doubt. "It Is futile to talk .of self-govern ment in the Philippines. To my way of thinking, it would be Infinitely bet ter to cut. loose from them right now and let them work out their own sal vation. 1 believe we should either adopt this amendment or let them know that they cannot acquire the canacity lor self-government in 60 years. benator Thomas agreed that the is landers were not ready for self-gov eminent "I do not believe that if the United States kept the Philippines for ever witn tne sole purpose of edu cating them to govern themselves that we would succeed." he added. "If we could, I do not think there is any ques tion of the duty of the United States involved. Our duty Is to let them go Just as soon as possible for the safety and advantage of the United States."

That interesting situation was disclosed in the course of the Senate deData. on me pronioi tl.n amnrimrtt to the PhiliDDine in dependence bill.

"And all that our bill is doing." said Senator Ken yon. "is imposing upon the Christians what they have imposed fipon the hea then." While it may seem strange that the Philippine Legislature would enact such a law, and while that enactment might raise a doubt as to their capacity for self-government, the law in question can hardly .be more ludicrous than the prohibition amendment which the United States Senate adopted, barring American beers, whiskies, wines, etc, from the Philippines, while not prohib it i n sniesaleofnativedrinks of the disclosure made on the floor of the Senate that the native drinks are much more deadly in their effect. Testimony before- the Senate com mittee was to the effect that vino, one of the native drinks, is so powerful that "if a white man drinks it it sets him crazy." It also was testified that the natives' will not drink this concoc tion, but that they manufacture it to sell to others. Testimony taken by the Senate com mittee was to the effect that the Philip pine people are . not naturally drunk ards; that they drink in moderation, and until the advent of the white man they had no barrooms, and no Ameri can liquors. The Senate amendment. if agreed to. and the bill becomes a law, will bar from the Philippines American drinks of an intoxicating li quor, but will not interfere with na tive drinks of all' sorte.

" Some of us get it occasionally "the blues" we call it others so often that they almost for get what it means to be normal and healthy. With nerves on edge, digestion uncertain, the mind depressed, our efficiency is reduced day by day. Am bition becomes stunted, our interest in things grows half-hearted. The reason : Our ship of life carries too much cargo- we must unload or else get manpower. Have yon ever considered what Sanatogen is able to do in just such cases ? Know then that letter after letter from carefully observing physicians has told of the splendid effect of Sanatogen in giving fresh fuel to the overworked nerves, fresh building material to the fa tigued cells, a iresb impetus to digestion and assimilation. And what trained physicians observe no less than 21,000 physicians have in writing approved the use of Sanatogen the actual users of Sanatogen joyfully confirm. Richard Le Gallienne, for instance, writes: . "Several times I have found myself wondering why I was feeling more fit and then remembered I was taking Sanatogen." Sir Gilbert Parker, the famous author and statesman, tersely sums up the benefits of San atogen when he says: "Sanatogen is to my mind a true food tonic, feeding the nerves, increasing the energy, and giving fresh vigor to the overworked body and mind."
