JAXUARY 23, 1916. NEW YORK WOMAN ADVOCATE OF BIRTH CONTROL ON TRIAL rN NEW YORK. PHILIPPINES BILL IT Democratic Measure for "In dependence" Expected' to u Accomplish Nothing.- BORAH SHOWS HYPOCRISY WITH MEANING SACRIFICE! ' Vfc, v i ,Zt f -! A"t.. ... ' - I .,-cm lit I ' V r r "... .V : -km Senator Iteclares It Is Pure Insin . verity to Talk or Giving People Own Government Years Ahead of Time. UREGOXIAX XEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 22. While many Demo crats In Congress re talking at length about Philippine independence and much oratory is being poured forth in behalf of the -oppressed" people of the Philippine Island!, there is no inten tion whatever of passing1 any bill -which will grant Independence to the Philippines during the life of the present Congress. ror is there the slightest intention to pass a bill to grant independence at any specified time. Ever since the close of the Spanish mar there has been Democratic clamor a.nd during all the years the Democrats were in the minority Democratic ora tors in both branches of Congress were continually hounding the Republicans because they did not free the Filipino people. Since the Democrats have come into control not & single one has sin cerely proposed to liberate the Fili pino people. Bodlne Bill Mean ot king. The only, pretense made by the Dem ocrats has been through the pending Administration bill, which carries a high-sounding preamble and then de clares for Independence when the peo ple of the Island are "fit for self-government." It is well known in Congress that this bill means nothing; It is merely a bluff, to comply. In a measure, with repeated planks in Democratic plat forms. It will accomplish nothing. It is, as said by Senator Borah, of Idaho, mere "hypocrisy" or "glittering gen eralities." meaning nothing. To call the Democratic bluff, several Republicans have introduced bills granting the Philippine Islands be tween now and the close of the present Congress. All of these bills are op posed by the Administration and will be voted down by the Democratic ma jority.. Insincerity la Denounced. When Senator Borah was condemn ing the pending Administration bill he was asked what he would do. - "I would not talk about a thing that Is manifestly insincere," he replied. "I would not promise the Philippine peo ple a thing which we do not give them any assurance of carrying out. It is an aot of insincerity to talk to them about idependence years in advance of their capacity to enjoy it. "There Is no doubt." he added, "that the Philippine Islands have a class who are fit for government. Mexico has had a class fit for government for 300 years.- She has had a class that has ruled Mexico for 300 years under the name of a Republic, but it has been as absolute a despotism as ever existed on the face of the earth. Mexico has an intelligent class. But this intelligent class, considering them selves class, have always exploited and oppressed the masses, the common people of Mexico. "This Congress has no intention of granting independence to the Philip pine Island and this bill shows it.' REBELSWHIPYUAirSHEH HEVOLCTIOM9T9 APPAHEMLT AIM AT SZE-CHIEJT CAPITAL Government Troop.
