If we do not spoil it. It la a record that we can be proud of. llut It really Isn't so strange that tb Filipino should tor as mors for our promise to gle them sovereignty over tlmiiiKelren man for our other good works, for which, afte all, out side of army and uavy expenditures, lb Filipinos have been taxed, and properly so, for vry cent of lh cost. If w but rTers th situation, and place ourselves In th shoes f the Filipinos, which cannot b said t be u unfair way of getting at th other fellow viewpoint, w shall e that It I not Strang. Suppose that Great Britain or any other power that yuu can think of by re ferring to your geography 'or history. should Impose Its sovereignly opon a malum our will and then gtv u an Infinitely belter government than w now enjojr Could any such foreign power ever succeed in convincing as that It had onr welfare mora at heart than we bavt ourselves.

And they set It op. It I ta tb Philippine now. America s own representative In th Islands, tb gov ernor general, omciatiy reports it i there, and recommends that sine tb Filipinos have earnestly fulfilled their part of the agreement, America should be as prompt In carrying out Its psrt of the contract. So that. In a fen words, It la not the Philippines that now sr on trial, but tb United States. There Is but on answer. America will carry out Its agreement. And since we are going ts do It, we cannot afford to quibble and split balrs and hesitut nntll oar tardloess robs ns of half the glory of our achievement. I,et us act with a promptness atid will ingness really worthy of America. And when the people of th United States set up tha Philippine Republic as the nrst cnristian Democracy ot the Far twist, they will be building monument to themselves that wilt stand throughout eternity. On that day the beacon light of hope, humanity and Justice will fisah around th world. Such an example by America will ac complish mor for tha wesk and strug gling peoples of tb earth than the four year world war, with all Its cost la Ufa and treasure. ueafc for Women of All Ages Correct colors, new modek selling far below the present wholesale price. Oifr stock now in three lots: Lot 1 Lot 2 contact with all classes of th peop'e. I found, however, that the viewpoint ot Americans In the Philippines, and Americans In th United States, on th sublect of Independence. Is not tb same. The attitude of th American gov ernment, and th great mass of the people of the United States, Is to eon stder th Philippine question from th unselfish viewpoint of whst Is best for the Filipino people Nlnety-tlv per cent ot the opposition to Inde pendence emanates from American In vestors In the Islands who are quit naturally more Interested In the size of their dividends than tb freedom ot an alien people. Th unfortunate feature of th sit uation Is that th opponents of Inde pendence, In order to convince th peo ple ot th United Ststes tbat the Kll' plno should not be granted tbetr in dependence, find It necessary to tlael an entire race. To tell a sensitise Christian people that they shall not have their promised Indeiwndenc be cause they sr not nt for It will In the end Drove a mistaken policy. It .will only make their demand for In dependence the stronger. At the present time, however, th masse of tb Filipino people still . have absolute confidence In the good fsltb ot America. Their loyalty and gratitude to Unci Sam has not as yet been Impaired by the misrepre sentations ot th retentlonlsts. Their leaders are Intelligent enough to dis tinguish between those American who oppose their aspirations to In dependence for purely selQsh reasons, and th great mass of the American people whom they know desire this government to do by th Filipinos only thst which 'Is Just and right la this connection, It Is Interesting to review the development of the pres ent friendly relationship between th Filipino snd American peoples. Previous to 1910 the Philippine American relationship Is declared to hare been not of the beat. But with the passage In that year of the Jones law by practically both the Republican and Democratic memberships of Con gress, a better feeling developed. This "better feeling" has now grown Into a very strorg bend of sympathy and affection. The liappy altitude of th Filipino people toward America Is due not prin cipally to the fact that Americans have shown the Filipinos how to make tlielr country a better place to live In ; not principally to the fact w have superintended the Implanting In th Philippines of on of the finest edu cational systems In the world; nor to the building of high class roads, bridges and public works but Is du A large raniru of very pretty patterns in the now Dolmans and other popular models.
