Bryan's Position.

In answer to an inquiry William

philippine question as follows:
81 favored the Bacon resolution,
which promised the Filipinos indie
pendence as soon as stable gov
ernment could be established. l
believe further that our nation
should protect tho Filipino Repub-
lie from outside interference while
it works out its own destination,
In other words, [ believe we should
treat the Filipinos as we have treat
ed the people of Mexico and the
people of South and Central Amer
ica. Monarchies are founded upon
force, but republics are founded
upon consent.
"The Declaration of Independ-
epce asserts that governments de-
rive their just powers from the con
sent of the governed. If the De-
claration is sound we cannot right
fully acquire title by conquest or
by purchase from an alien monarch,
whose title we disputed when we
furnished arms to the Filipinos.
IF the Administration had given
to the Filipinos the assurance of
independence which was given to
the Cubans there would have been
no bloodshed. If that assurance is
given now hostilities will cease.
mo one proposes to withdraw
the soldiers until stable govern
ment.is established, but it will be
easy to establish stable govern
ment when it is known that our oc-
cupation of the Philippine Islands
is only temporary.

who informed him that he might
not recover, as such cases were SO
uncertain, but in few days the

TAYLOURS AND SMYTHS.
They Were the Commoncst Trades

The manufacture of leather in the
thirteenth century seems to have been
important. showing that leather jenkins

Tho commoncst trades are taylour and

that of the smyths, was specialized.
The arkwryght made the great arks or

were stored, and we find plowwryght,

An English newspaper contains an
interesting parallel, discovered by a
classical scholar. First comes a transla-
tion from the original Greek Of Anti
pator Of Thessalonica
Once upon time, when a ship was
shattered at sea, two men fell at strife,
fighting for one plank. Antagoras struck
away Pisistratus. One could not blame
him; it was for his life. But justice
took cognizance. The other swan
ashore; but him (Antagoras) a dogfish
seized. Surely, the avenger Of the fates
rests not, even in the watery deep.
Then an incident recorded in the Lon
don Chronicle serves to translate the
story into modern event and to show
how life repeats itself:
Two bluejackets, named Friday and
Painter. were capsized from boat at
Weymouth. After struggle to get into
the waterlogged boat Friday beat his
comrade off. and Painter swan ashore.
Friday got into the boat and was drown
