test. The date for the match is set for

LOGIC Is LOGIC.

For every man that has been killsd in
the Philippine Islands, Filipino as we'll
as American, since Senator Breveridge
made his speech, the United States Sen
ate Is responsible. How do We know
thisf Simply this way. Senator Bsver-
idgs in his speech affirmed that II the
Senate would pass his resolution deolar-
ing that the United States was deter
mined to bold the Philippines forever
the war would Immediately cease. Nearly
q week has passed, and that resolution
has not only not been adopted, but 1t has

the imper!slists themselves.

think that II they res stea our sovereignt
they would eventually gain their inde-
pendsnce. Now the whole United States
