Children in the Country,
This is the time Of year when the city
child, her eyes attracted by the sunshine
outside the schoolroom window, let's her
mind wander from her books out and
away above the housetops and beyond
the city's limits to some whip-like bushes
by creek where she found some pussy
willows last year, the one country de-
light she knows.
There's nothing more pathetic in life
than the pathos of child-lifc, especially
the life of the children who are stran-
gers to the country. What pity to have

later on the ferns grew rank and hid all

do you remember, you who have
threads of gray in your hair, how YOU
brought home the chestnut whips and
soaked them in the water trough pre-
paratory to making whistles? Do you
You found hidden in the tangled grass at
the root of sweet-briar bush in the old
pasture! How YOU watched until the
little birds We're Matched and then one
day you gently touched them, they
looked so soft and downy, and they all
jumped out of the nest and fled into the
grass, and YOU can hear still, the moth
or plalntlve cry as she tried to call the
little ones back to the shelter of her
wings?
But they never came back and your
child's heart was filled with remorse for
months, says the Philadelphia Press.
Then there were the trips to the c.
chard for the early harvest apples. Were
there ever other apples as good as those
oh the strawberry tree near the fence?
Surely not. And i'll the fall when the
wind raved at night and whipped the
vines of the woodbine against the win

to sleep again, because nigh wind meant
brown chestnuts ON the S:ound ir the
morning, and you must be up early to
get them before the boys were out.
When you think these things all over
you will want to take your children into
the fields and let them know some of
the things YOU used to know. Let the
boys and girls go into the country every
chance YOU have; and be sure to &c with
them. Perhaps you may have forgotten
some of the things you used to know, but
they will all come back to you and your
youth will be renewed.
Don't let the boys and girls come up in
ignorance of the beauties of nature.
Don't let their knowledge of country be
conferred in a bunch of pussy willow and
the wayside flowers they see while driv-

NM. BRYAN AND THE PHILIPPINES

Mr.. w. j. Bryan to set forth his
position on the Philippines subject
has wired from Humphreys, Neb.; l
favored the Bacon resolution which
promised the Filipinos independence
as soon as a stable government could
be established. believe futher that
our nation should protect the Filipino
republic from outside interference
while it works out its own destiny.
In other words, | believe we
should treat the Filipinos as we have
treated the people of Mexico and Cen
trail and South America. Monarchies
are fonded upon force, but republics
are founded upon consent.
"The declaration of independence
asserts that governments derive then
Just powers from the consent Of the
governed. If the declaration is sound
We cannot lightfully acquire title by
conquest or by purchase from an alien
monarchy, whose title we disputed
when we furnished arms to the Fill
pinOs.
wf the administration had given tC
the Filipinos the assurances Of indie
pendence which was given to the Gu
bans there would have been no blood
shed. If that assurance is given now
hoStilities will cease.
mo one proposes to withdraw th'
soldiers until n stable government il
established but it will be easy to es
tablish a stable government when i
is known that our occupation 0
the Philippine Islands is only tenn
porary.

correspondents Of leading American
newspapers in Manila, including the
representatives of the Two big press
associations, unite in the following
statement:
eve believe that owing to official dis
patches from Manila made public at
Washington, the people oflhe United
States have not received a correct i'm
preston of the situation in the Philip
pines, and that these dispatches pre-
sented an ultra-optlmlstc view not
shared by the general officers in the
field. We believe these dispatches in
correctly represented existing condi
tons among the Filipinos respecting
internal dissension and decentralization
resulting from the American campaign
and the hrigand character OF then
army. We believe the dispatches erl
i'm the declaration that the situation
is well in hand, and the assumption
that the instruction can be speedily
ended without greatly increased
force
1--WE think the tenacity and pur
pose Of the Fllipinos has been under
estimated and that the statements are
unfoundcd that the volunteers arc
willing to give further service. The
censorship has compelled us to partic
