Independence for the Philippine Is
William A. Jones of Virginia, chairman
of the house committee on insular
affairs. The time has arrived, argues
Mr.. Jones, for the Filipinos to begin to
govern themselves, and he has present
ed bill to congress embodying that
idea. He would have the islanders
begin slowly in the task of self gov
eminent and favors plan whereby
the islanders shall gradually come into
complete independence when they have
demonstrated the ability to do so. His
scheme contemplateS limited govern
ment OF territorial character under the
supervision of the United States until
their capacity is proved. For some
years William Atkinson Jones has been
known as "Filipino" Jones. a nickname
bestowed because Of his advocacy of
Filipino independence. He has grown
up with the Philippine problems. He is
serving his twelfth consecutive term
in congress-a longer term of continu-
GUS service than that of any other mem
Der of the house. To begin with he
didn't believe in the taking of the
Philippine Islands, and so he became
a member Of the first committee ever
named upon insular affairs.
Representative Jones is a native of
Virginia, siXty-five years old and dur
ing the civil war was a student in the
Virginia Military institute, serving as
occasion required as cadet in the
defense of Richmond. After the war
he studied law at the University of Nir
ginia and was admitted to the bar. In
1890 he went to congress.

Drinking Is due more to state of

is the common practice of physicians to
gradually reduce the amount of alcohol.
Otherwise, in private practice, there is
u liability of the patients collapsing.
Notwithstanding this experience, at
prisons where the inmates know they
have sacrificed all rights they can be
stopped instantly without any apparent
evil effect This is no less true of drug
tiends who may have acquired de

As preventive of the drink habit
