All work done promptly and reasonably. Phone No. 269. CLYDE H. TAVENNER. Every year June 19 Is celebrated by Filipinos as the anniversary of the birthday of the Filipino martyr. Dr. Jose Rizal, regarded us the greatest man the Malay race has produced. Rizal, who spoke seven languages and was a cultured and much traveled man (on one occasion he traveled across the United States), earned the enmity of Spanish governors In the Philippines by protesting against the oppression of the Filipino people. As a boy he hud witnessed scenes that sent shafts of grief into his jioet soul, and he early dedicated his life to the liberation of his "land adored." At the risk of his life, and at the sucriflce of his career, friends and loved ones, he became the spokesman for the stifled grievances of the voice­ less multitude, and thus became "the living Indictment of Spain's wretched colonial system." Rizal could have saved his life, as he had been wurned by friends not to return to the Islands. He could not be dissuaded, but before returning to Manila left a letter with a friend in Hongkong to lie opened after his death, In whlrh he wrote: "Gladly do 1 go to expose myself to peril, not us any expiation of misdeed (for in this D R JO S E R IZ A L , matter I believe myself guiltless of The F ilip in o P a trio t. any), but to complete my work and m yself offer the example of which I have always preached. A man ought to f<»r d u tv m id h is iirln c lb le n . I I d old fust to every Idea which I have ad- valued as to the condition and future of our country, and s'.iali willingly die for i t 1 hold duties of conscience above all else. Besides I wish to show those who deny us patriotism that we know how to die for duty and prln- clples.” While Rizal was In Europe working for Philippine reforms, the Spunldi governor-general, to indirectly punish Rizal, curried on a relentless persecu­ tion of his purenta and relatives in the Philippines, driving them Into exile. To his parents Rizal left a second letter, saying: "Should fate go agulnst me, you will understand that I shall die happy In the thought that my death will end all your troubles. Return to our country and may you he happy lit it. Till the last .......lent of my life I shall he thinking of you and wishing you all good fortune and happiness." Spain had meanwhile determined on having Rizal'a life, foolishly thinking that if tiis voice was stilled agitation for the reforms he championed would end. Rizal was arrested on a trumped up ehurge of treason and condemned to death. But no sooner had the firing squad completed Its work thun the teachings of Rizal almost instantaneously became the passionate Inspiration of the whole Filipino race. Ills unjust execution had simply transferred the intense patriotism o f Rizal to the breasts of an entire nation of people. The Philippine nationalism of today dates from the sunshiny morning of December 30, lstal, when Rizal was led forth from Ills prison to willingly give, as lie himself said. Ids life lor Ids country's redemption. While touring in the Philippines recently the conviction was ever present In my mind, and I could not llirow it off, that the real Inspiration as well ns the leadership of the Filipino people In their present desire for Independence is the spirit of Jose Rizul. The memory of ltlzal and the desire for Inde­ pendence seem to be synonymous In the mind of the averuge Fiiipinu, R iz u l Is the inspiration of all classes, of old and young, of all the people; he Is not dead, for Ids spirit Is everywhere In that beautiful land. His pic­ ture adorns the homes of the poorest fam ilies; streets, avenues and cities are named I ii bis honor, while Ills statue stands In the parks and public squares. In life Rizal was a beautiful character, kind and considerate of all, gladly giving Ids life for Ills country, and In memory he has become the national Idol. With such a spirit as Its national Inspiration the Philippines can not help hut reai-li heights now not dreamed of. While awaiting death in his cell during Ids last night on earth Rizal wrote a remarkable poem, "My Last Farewell." He secreted the manuscript in an alcohol cooking lamp, where it was found after his execution. It follows: MY LAST FAREWELL. *• THE CHILDREN OF THE PHILIPPINE COMMISSIONER.
