could be granted with advantage to our government and with safety to the Fill pinos within five years at the farthest. But whether independence is to be granted in five or ten or fifteen years or after long period, there should be no longer delay about announcing a policy. I have tried to impress upon the Fflipinos the necessity of leaving this question to the people of the Uni- ted States and the importance of prov ing in every possible way the virtues. the character and the progress of the people; have pointed out the folly of insurrection and the damage done to their cause by resorting to force of arms, but am equally anxious to im- press upon my own countrymen the importance of dealing frankly and fair ly wit hthe Filipinos.
 We have more at stake in this mat ter than have the Filipinos. They still have their national greatness to archieve our position is already establish ed. We have the greatest republic known to history; we are the foremost champion of the doctrine of self-gov- ernment and one of the leading expon- ents of Christianity. We can afford, aye, our honor requires us, to be can did with the Filipinos and to take them into our confidence. We dare not make them victims of commercial greed or use their islands for purely selfish purposes. 1t Is high time to announce a purpose that shall be righteous and carry out that purpose by means that shall be honorable.
 In my next article I shall endeavor to elaborate plan which will, in my Judgment. bring independence to the

WILLIAM J. BRYAN ADVOCATES
 PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE

mort the schools so enthusiasticaiiy' even when those schools are estao- lished by outsiders and when the teaching is in a language strange 10 them, speaks eloquently in their pe- half Nor is this newborn zeal; The Aguinaldo government proVioeu for public schools and, cock-fighting being prohibited, cock pits were actual ly turued into school houses in some sections over which the authority or lis government extended.
 It is objected by some that the in- telligent Filipinos would under mae pendence use the instrumentalit1es or government to tyrannize over the masses This ise not a new argument; 1t Is always employed where an ex- cuse for outside interference Is de- sired, but there is no reason to believe that the Filipinos would be less inter- ested in the people of their own race and blood than are aliens whose sal aries are such as to make it impossible for them to claim that they serve from purely altruistic motives.
 
 That those In power in Washington contemplate independence must be ad- mitted, unless those who speak for the administration intend gross deception. In his speech on the evening of Rizal day, December last, Gen. Smith, one of the Philippine commission and head of the educational department saidt Pop ular self government for the Philippines is the purpose of both peoples. If either seeks to achieve it independent of the other, the experiment Is doomed to failure. If both work for it harmon iously, there Is no reason why 1t should not be accomplished. If 1t is accom- plished. the history of the Philippines will hold no brighter page than that ,I,fa hA @%x arln Af ufs axaIa people to fit themselves for indepen- dent government. If 1t is accomplish ed. the fairest page in American history will be that which records the creation of new nation and the unselfish deve- lopment of an alien race" If this Is not a promise of ultimate indepen- dence. what possible meaning can the language have? If the administration does not intend that the Filipinos shall some day be independent, it's repre- sentations should not hold out this hope.
 But there is even higher authority for the hope of independence. When the so-called Taft party" visited the Philippines last<summer, Secretary Taft made a speech in which he assumed to speak for the president. Referring to the presidents opinion, he said: "IIc | believes, as I believe. and as do most l Americans who have had great famil- iarity with the facts. that it is abso- | lutely impossible to hope that the les sons which it is the duty of the United | States to teach the whole Filipino peo- pie, can be learned by them. as body, in less than a generation; and that the probability is that it will take a longer period in which to render them capable l of establishing and maintaining a ! stable independent government" This. it is true. states when indepen- dence cannot be hoped for, rather than when it can be hoped for, and yet, no ! honest man would use the language l Secretary Taft employed without hav- ing in his mind the idea that indepen-

dence would be granted at some future
 doto Rut his concluding words even
 more clearly present the hope or uiti-
 rnota independence, for he says: All
 that can he asserted is that the policy
 which has several times been autnorita-
 lively stated, that this Filiplno gov
 ernment shall be carried on solely TOT
 Inc benefit of the Filipino people and
 that self-government shall be exteno-
 cd to the Filipino people as spedily as
 tbev show themselves fitted to assume
 and exercise 1t, must be pprsueo con
 Eistently by the people Of the uniteo
 States or else they shall forfeit their honor" .Lo Here Secretary Taft pledges the American government as Tar as ne nss nae power to pledge it---and he pleoges tne nresident also--to extend self-govern- ment to the Filipinos as rapidly as they show themselves fitted for It. The great trouble about these utterances an1 similar ones is that they are not oinu l. ing upon the government. and the Fill pinos are constantly disturbed py doubts and fears. Both at Manila anu
 in the United States ridicule is often cast upon the aspirations of the Fili- pino people, and plans are made which are inconsistent with ultimate inde- pendence The attempt on the part or the commission to issue perpetual iran chise is naturally, and l think rlghtfui- ly, opposed by all Filipinos. If our occupation is to be temporary, why should our Legislation be permanentT Why bind the ward in perpetuity 80 that he cannot control his own affairs when he reaches years of maturity What is needed is an immediate de- claration of the nations purpose to rec ognize the independence of the Fili- pinos when a, stable government Is es- l tabIished. It is not necesessary that | a definite time shall be stated. nor | is if so important just when the Fili- ninos are to have their independence, as it is that the nations purpose shall | he made known in an outhoritave way and that the subsequent acts of our government shall be in harmony with | that declaration.

High Winds Rare In Rome.

Gales are very rare in Rome and
never blow with exetreme violence.
The most striking popularity OF the
Roman climate is the absence of high
winds. The air is pure and clear
owing to the almost complete abb
sence of smoke even in the winter
months.
The average yearly movement Of
the air is only five miles an hour.
This is Of enormous advantage in win
ter, since the "tramontana" (north
wind), which is the prevailing wind
in this season, is if strong, decidedly
cold and bracing, but when under
eight miles an hour is delightful for
most people, including inyalids. The
south winds are essentially sea
breezes. They frequently alternate
with the tramontana.
The sirocco (southeast wind),
which fortunately does not often blow
is moist and enervating. 1t gives rise

Emil Reich, the Hungarian writer, tells
the British public, will cure the pas
sion for drink. Between the amount
of amusement given to nation" he
says, "and the amount of drink con.
sumed by that nation there is clear
and almost fixed relation" His argu-
ment merits serious consideration,
Sport, outdoor exercise, the theatre,
cheap recreation, all kinds of easy
amusement give the idle and holiday
seeker distraction and rest and draw
him away from the saloon. There is
an immense host of men who drink
too much for want Of something else
to do. A London reformer has found
that by merely marching brass band
through the streets of a low quarter
he drew numbers of half-drunken peo-
pie away from the public-houses to an
impromptu "singsory," where they sang
what they liked, and they seemed to
enjoy it.

A Faithful mother Bird.

Three weeks ago a freight car came
into the yards at Chillicothe, Ohio, and
the railroad men discovered on the
footrest through which the brake prof.
trudes at the end, toward the top Of
the car, robin had built its nest. In
that nest was one egg. The car had
made a continuous trip from Michigan
and stood here day or so, and was
sent to Ripley, Ohio. Upon its return
here two eggs were in the nest. II
was again sent to that place and re-
turned with three eggs. In this time
the mother bird had Matched the eggs
out, ever following the car in its means
derings. The railroad men had kept
a strict watch upon the nest and saw
that nobody molested it. Orders came
to send the car to Michigan, and the
men held a consultation, and it was
decided to remove the nest TO a nearby
tree. 1t was carefully tied fast to the
tree with strings, the mother bird
watching the proceedings from a
nearby limb. AS soon as finished shel
resumed the faithful watch of her
flock. Investigation has proved that
the mother bird Travelled hundreds Of
miles in following the nest from Mich
igan to this part of the country

The Wears sermon that Sunday bore
marked internal evidence Of having
been freshly written, Jane Grand
knew nothing at all about good writing
er good preaching, and was indeed
quite incapable Of judging Of the in
trinsic merit of any piece of intellectual
work whatsoever; but She knew that
this sermon was not taken from that
heap which furnished the ordinary cut
and dried theological meat of the peo-
pie OF Chesterford, and she felt that
her spirit answered and her heart ex-
banded as she looked up in the Wears
face and listened to the wears voice.
Probably she was the only person in
the church who understood Mr.. Follett
that day. Miss Ferguson, on principle,
never listened to sermons, and occupied
the time on the present occasion in
planning her wedding outfit and ealcu-
lating on the probable sum for which
her relatives might safely battle in the
way Of settlements. Clifford Afohun,
