favor of q system Of Graded Schools in
Henderson. would be false to the posi-
ton Of my church, to the privileges OF
citizenship and to my deep convictions OF
right and duty were to fail to advocate
thorough educa ton.
Whether We look at this subject from q
commercial or moral point of view the
conclusion is irresistible that the estab-
lishment OF a Graded School system 10
Henderson is q necessity.
In the GOLD LEAF, June 9Th, appeared
q statement OF Mr.. Mebane, Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction, q statement
which should be pOndered:
"Your town (Hendersou) can not
afford to do without Graded Schools
longer, if it is to keep pace with the live
towns of this State"
Why, Mr.. Editor, one of the best men
IN our town, An energetic, progressive
man. large property holder, said to me
sons months ago: III my property
interests did not tie me down in Hender-
sou l would not remain here" Why?
The reason he assigned was the absence
Of Graded Shoots.
Another true, loyal citizen of Hender-
Z
as much for the development OF our town
as any man in it, has said to me more
than once, that he does not se.. how he
can remain here unless Graded School
be esta blished.
1t il not my purpose now to presen {
the many arguments which might be
adduced in favor Of Graded Schools
wish simply to express my qualification
at the assurance that many of our best
citizens are giving thi. subject careful
consideration. They are "weighing the
pros and the cons and will be heard
from later. Let me submit three propo-
sitiOns:
!. We need Graded Schools.
2. W. must have Graded Schools.
3. We are going to have Graded
Schools.
The prophecy contained 10 this last
proposition reveals strong confidence
in the business tact, the Intelligence and
Christian integrity OF our people.

do is evidently selecting the army as
cloak for his congress. hoping by that
subterfuge TO overcome General Otis
consistent policy Of ignoring the Filipino
government
The Filipino argument Is that II Is i'm
possible to arrange the armistice with
out the sanction OF their congress. Gen
eral Otis punctured this assumption by
asking IL General Agulnaldo could make
war without congress he could stop with
out reference to that body. one OF the
conferees afterwards remarked that they
are shrewder than white men In diplom-
,acy as Malays are credited with being,
while the insurgents are undoubtedly
tired OF the war their leaders are torn
with dissentions,
There Is suspicion that Il was hoped
by means OF the conference TO ascertain
what they could expect, II they saw
that anything is TO be gained by contlnu-
ing the war an armIstice would afford
them an opportunity for recuperaung
their forces
! Il Is an interesting commentary upon
Aguinaldo's scheme that only % OF the
oO members of the Filipino congress have
taken the oath OF allegiance which their
constitution requires, The IFiliplno proc
mmation replying to the proclamation OF
the American commissioners has ap-
peared II is signed by Madini for the
president. and Is dated AT Caniasdro,
April ~. II declares that President Me-
Klnley issued his proclamation In order
to force the American congress to ratify
the cession OF the Islands under the
treaty of Paris II says:
"Thls contract Of cesslon was made
with the Spanish after Spanish domin-
alton had been ended by the valor OF our
| troops"
The proclamation complains that the
Fillplnos were not represented at Paris
during the negotiation OF the treaty and
that they are without assurance of the
fulhllment of the American promises. 1t
dllates upon the alleged Anglo-Saxon
hatred of the blacks and asserts that
there Is desire to enslave them. De-
lpiorlng the lack of foreign aid in prose-
cutting the war, the proclamation con-
cudes:
eve stand alone but We will fight to
the death Coming generations will pray
over our graves shedding tears OF graft
tude for their freedom"
