The Christmas turkey has displaced
the famous roasted peacock as the

dinner Two or three hundred years
ago, in Merry England, each family
sought to obtain the largest peacock

days. The table was usually decorat-

Taft Honorary President, Lake
Wright Active Head

Washington, D. c., June 25.-Manuel
Quezon, resident commissioner of the
Philippines in congress, resigned from
the executive committee of the Philip
pine society and also as member,
because he is not in sympathy with
the announced purpose Of the society
nor the course he says has been pur-
sued by the societies officers ana
members in affairs in the islands.
Former President Taft is honorary
president ofgthe society and the execu :
tive president is Gen. Luke Wright,
former governor general of the islands.
Quezon said he was convinced that
while the announced purpose is TO
create more sypathetic interest be-
tween American and Philippine peo-
ple,, the real purpose of the society is
ito gather the scattered forces now at
work to preserve the present regime
in the Philippines and systematic and
concentrate their efforts" He said
neither philanthropic. religious nor
commercial aid would reconcile the
Filipino to the policy or colonialism
which the society undoubtedly was ad-
vocating.

in the construction Of the new build

nearly perfect as possible.
Professor Sabine's report of Mr..

shows that Fargo will have ONE of the
best and most complete auditoriums

which the sound and its echoes can be

such an improvement.
The need for the auditorium is so

all the leading citizens of Fargo will
