reason. cannot consent that an ambition
for power, shall send to useless and
shameful and sacrifice the sons of Amer

President Aguinaldo, whom he recently
acclaimed the hero of this century, a
follower of the teachings which have i'm

ought to write in pages of gold the name
or this great American, a crusader for
Justice; for that ideal justice for which
youth.
In this struggle, which we sustained
Tor the old sovereignty, the word for free
dom was Rial, and the arm which put
the idea into execution, was Aguinaldo.
IN the present time Bryan replaces the
great martyr, sublime lessons for the
very enemies, which they meet with
ing the injustice which they are coming
TO commit upon weak people.
So what grade of justice. If there be
grades of justice has our case. when it
finds champions, not among foreigners.
but among the very soldiers of the great
republic. There should be pictured then,
IN n, F1ip1no history, with the same glory.

friendly peoples, torn by the same dfssen-
sl0ns and deserving of the applause and
admiration OF the world The American
