UNLIKE w. j. BRYAN.


CHICAGO, June 24.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say: ~"Ex-Goyernor William j.
Stone, of Missouri. acting chairman of the
Democratic national committee, takes sharp
issue with William ]. Bryan and other lead
ers of his party. While not committing him
self as to whether this country should own
and govern the Philippine islands. he de-
clared strongly against the anti-expansion
plea. He asserted that after Dewey hauled
down the Spanish colors at Manila there
was nothing left for patriotic Americans to
do but sustain the government in its at
tempt to settle the questions there arising
without unduly criticising its course, and
concluded with an argument In favor of
doing everything possible toward increas-
ing the American merchant marine, even to
the extent of subsidies by the government
where necessary. He said to-day: L do
not think the situation in the Philippines.
as it is at present, should be made a political
issue. i know much is said regarding the
policy Of the government in the Philippines.
but 1 do not understand it has formulated
any policy with reference to them as yet.
1t is time enough to raise an issue on this
question when this policy shall have been
announced, but until that is done / hardly
it as affording a basis for a legiti-
mate political issue. / would not be under
stood as indorsing all that the government
has done in connection with these islands
since Admiral Dewey struck the Spanish
colors in Manila bay, for I think some grave
mistakes have been made, but as matters
stand at present we nave got to stand by
our country"

Passing Of the Ouly Woman Ever
Granted Freedom Of Floor
In Congress.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, whose
death az Littleton, \. H., was an
nounced recently. was born in Vermont
in 1921, being the daughter OF poor
farmer. She began life as a maid of
all work, but in 1913 she attracted the
attention of Thomas Thompson, a Dos-
ton millionaire, TO whom she was mar
ried in lsi4. He was man of markedly
philanthropic character, and when his
estate came into her hands at his death
in 1869 she followed his example in
contributing freely to all worthy chari-
tics, says the Boston Transcript.
She spent large sums in the cause of
temperance and expended a fortune in
helping heads Of families who had met
with misfortune. She devoted $4,000
to the investigation Of yellow fever.
She spent nearly 100000 in providing
openings in business for men with fam
lilies. She founded the town of Long
Mont, at the foot of the Rocky noun
tains, giving Gas acres of land and $500
to each cOlonist I'm Saline county, KAN,
and contributed largely to the purchase
of the Nassar college telescope.
Later she presented Francis b. Car
penter's painting Of the signing of the
Emancipation Proclamation by Lin
coin" to congress, for which she was
granted the freedom of the floor, a
right which no other woman possessed.
She contributed large sums to the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science and was made its first
patron. She was a strong advocate of
the idea Of an international republic.
She was attacked by stroke of paraly-
sis several years ago and had been in
delicate health since that time.
