Philippine Sentiment

From the American Review of Re-
 views
 No greater surprise is in store for the traveller upon his arrival at Ma nila today than the realization that American ideals are now at a dis count in the islands. With but one ex- ception practically all Americans, Fili- plnos and Englishmen speak of a marked lessening of respect for Amer jeans and things American. (The ex- ceptlon Is an American lawyer having business relations with Filipino poli- tician5, and who, the writer under stands, has represented Filipino inter- ests at Washington.) This was ex- plained by the fact that the politicians and public have seen courageous ad- min1strators, men whom they at heart admired, but under whose efficient ad- ministration the "politicos" had chafed and who therefore had been merciless- ly attacked by them, replaced under the new administration by inexper- fenced officials And when they saw these new arrivals begin to curry fa- vor with the politicians and to call themselves friends of the Filipinos" they became bewildered And this be- wilderment gave way to a lessening of respect for Americans in general when 1t was seen that these inexper- fenced men of the new regime," by the frequent use of this word 'friend," attributed by implication the contrary to the long list of the best admin istrative officers the American gov ernment in the past had been able to send to them, and whom it seemed now the fashion to consider as little better than 'carpetbaggers." And when they found some of the most important of these new friends" at times deficient in statesman-like judgment and boise and not too careful in their utterances could not but result an inevitable slump

 Isidor Feurst entered and began to dis course of the excellent qualities of sn encyclopedia. The lawyer, who comes to business daily in an eight-passenger car. said:
 "Feurst I've told you dozen times don't want to buy an encyclopedia. I'm too poor. I'd sell the trousers I'm wear ing to get hold of few dollars.

 Ablowitz, having an excellent eye for gescheft, took off the trousers and handed them to the book agent. Then he locked the door. told the stenographer to tell clients to wait and tried to call up his home by telephone.
 It seems the house telephone was out of order, in consequence of which he was a prisoner in his private office from 1O:30 o'clock yesterday morning until 7:3O o'clock last night. when his wife learned of his predicament and sent him another air of trousers.

in their esteem for Americans in gen eral It is felt that this situation should be remedied at once; that so long as the American flag continues to fly, our administrative officers should not fall below a fixed high stan dard of attainment, experience. dignity, courage, and vision; and that ample powers should be vested in them for the sake both of administrative effl- ciency and of the dignity of their or fees. The writer concurs in believing that the early actions and pronouncia- mentos of some of our high officials of the new administration cannot be lived down. He regrets also to have to add that the personality and quail fications of two of the important Amer ican officials of the new administra- tion are of such an order that he has never seen their names mentioned without a general smile of commiser- ation being called forth.

No more fitting auspices could have been found than the Association for the Blind to present Miss Helen Keller at the Bijou theatre March 8. For her sympathies are so deeply wound around the afflicted and her heart so alive to their suffering that to as- sist them is her greatest delight. And then, too, Alabama is Miss Keller's na- tive state, and it is here that the pub lie should do her honor.
 For several years many of the clubs have made an effort to secure Miss Keller, but to no avail. When the As sociation of the Blind was formed, fec ble as it was, it was decided to get in touch with Miss Keller and secure her aid if possible in having her speak Tor their benefit. A very cordial re- ply was received and this lecture is the outcome of the correspondence of sev- eral months ago.
 WORK OF ASSOCIATION
 The Association for the Blind, al- though it is small in working force and weak in treasury, has already made it. self a factor in the community. Sew eral weeks ago they secured the serv- ices of MT. Gordon L. Berry for sur vey of the state relative to the con ditions pertaining to prevention for blindness. Among the cities visited in Alabama by Mir. Berry, engagements having been secured through this as sociation for him, were Birmingham, Auburn, Mobile, Montgomery, Talla- dega, Tuscaloosa and Tuskegee.
 A very important fact was brought to light during Mir. Berrys visit
 In 1915 the legislature of Alabama, by amendment to the law, made com plete provision for the specific report ing of ophthalmia neonatorum and trachoma, with provision for it's en- forcement by city, town and county health officials. The reporting is to be immediate on the part of physicians, midwives, nurses and parents, either upon diagnosis or suspicion that the condition exists. Failure to report is punishable by a fine of S25 to $50 for physicians, and $5 to $25 for midwives.
 Through MT. Berry's efforts the med ical inspection in Birmingham schools has now taken into account eye de- fleets, and a movement is on foot to have testing done under the direction of the teachers
 Local health officers in various cities of Alabama are thoroughly interested in work for the prevention of blind ness and have promised their coop eration, as has Dr. Saunders the state health officer. This work of the Blind association, although not we'll known, is apt to be one of unusual value to the state.
 EXHIBIT OF WORK
 Through the efforts of the associa- ton a very creditable exhibit of the work of the blind has been placed at the library, as we'll as an exhibit from the national committees. This display was on for eight days in January, and the librarian estimates that it was viewed by 5000 persons at that time.

Entertainment has been furnished the blind of the community and regu- blind persons by members of the as sociation.
 But undoubtedly the higgest thing the members have undertaken is this lecture of Miss Helen Keller. For the first time this wonderful and gifted woman will be presented to Birming- ham audience. She will be accompanied by her lifelong friend and companion, Mrs. John Macy (Miss Annie Su1li- van). Mrs. Macy has been with Helen Keller since she was seven years old. Mrs. Macy will, on the occasion of the lecture, preclude Miss Keller's remarks with an account of her remarkable life, telling of her acquisition of speech, her preparation and graduation from college and her conquest over seeming

unconquerable physical difficulties and impossibilities.
 From infancy Helen Keller's hands have served her as eyes and ears; her finger ipS are so acutely sensitive that she cannot only read character in the hands of those she meets, but seldom makes a mistake in remember ing people by the touch of their hands, A short while ago, Miss Keller met a few old friends and some new ones in her hotel parlor. The hands of the old friends were clasped eagerly and with quick responsive greeting. One of the gentlemen present she had met but once-the day before-but as soon as she had felt his fingers. she called him by name and spoke of the pre- vious meeting.
 "The hands of those I meet are dumbly eloquent to me-" said Miss Kel-

Tens OF thousands of farmers as wen as
