ed the struggle for Cuba The strug-
Cling people of both islands became
our allies in1that war, the Filipinos
rendering our forces even NJ reflective

reason why the policy of this country
should be different toward the Filipinos
than toward the people of Cuba?
III the pledge of the United States.
disayowing to the world any intention

was founded upon any principle of
justice and national morality, why
does not that principle apply to the
Philippines? Was that disavowal an
empty catch phrase, and were the
words of the United States meaning
less and hypocritical? If the pro-
nouncement of what would be the
policy of this government in fighting
for free Cuba rested upon anything
else than a great moral and Just prin-
ciple, then those words were grossly
hypocritical. If they were based upo n
a grand humanitarian principle, then
that principle as certainly holds in re-
gard to the Philippines in the absence
of an explicit disavowal as they did
in the case of Cuba.
The administration at Washington
cannot escape the dishonor of placing

pocrite unless to the Filipinos it holds
out the same assurances as it did to

These Statements are Made by Persons
Whom We Are willing to Believe.
If you respect person who tells
you something, you believe him. You
may not know the person whose tes-
timony we publish in this article, but
you can easily consult him because we
give you his name and address and he
lives right here in Illinois That is
the way we do, we give you the names
of people living near at home who
have used Morrow's Kid-ne-oids for
backsche and kidney troubles. be-
cause we want you to consult these
people about Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and
the good they have received from
them.
w. j. Guymon. Springfield. ILL.,. who
was secretary for the United, Mine
Workers for five years, and is known
by nearly every mine worker in the
state has used Morrow's Kin-ne-oids,
and this is what he says:
Il have been a sufferer for five
years with my kindeys; l had severe
pain across my back, which was al
ways worse when 1 stopped over. and
ut times it was so bad that / could
scarcely straighten up. grew very
nervous and could not sleep for hours
if awoke; my appetite also failed me
and did not relish my meals. L was
recommended to use Kid-ne-oids and
they proved to be the very remedy 1
required; today am entirely cured of
all that backache, nervousness and
sleeplessness. All due to Morrow's
Kid-ne-oids.
Kid-ne-oids are put up in wooden
boxes which contain enough for about
two weeks treatment and sell at so

Drawing the Color Line In Illinois.

The disposition is exhibited in var
ious parts of the state to draw the
color line more strictly than has been
customary. The Alton school matter
has run the gauntlet of the courts,
and although the colored people won.
the white people are not reconciled TO
the result. In Quincy this week
restaurant keeper refused to serve
three prominent colored educators
with their supper. The ostracised in
dividuals are.Prof. b. A. Byrd, princi-
pal of the Lincoln school. Quincy;
Rev James G.. Clelland, teacher of
the Harriet Beecher Stowe Industrial
school, Danville, and Rev. NJ. Griffith,
of Muscatine. They have instructed
the states attorney to bring action
against the restaurant proprietor,
under the statutes, and civil suits also
for heavy damages will be begun.
In Peoria a numb Der of white mem
bers of the Young Mems Christian
Association have requested that their
names be erased from the memb er-
ship list, for the reason that when
they went to the association building
to take their baths, they found the
tubs occupied by men of darker shade.
The matter was discussed at a meet
ing of the Afro-American council, and
that body radically opposes any dis
elimination against the black race.
As the expenses of the association
are met by the contributions of the
well-to-do white citizens. the colored
brothers will probably have to 60
some place else for their baths, new
ertheless.
The color line in republican ILL
nois, as the Springfield Register
puts it, is drawn more strictly than it
is in democratic Missouri, except on
election day, when the colored men
are expected to march to the polls
and vote in the same booths the
straight republican ticket.
