gagged ia The effort TO Kill Philippine
independence; vet mot a voice was
heard in debate courageous enough
to characterize the opposition" He
expresses the belief that if the
Washington lobby which carried on
this work were exposed it would be
"rcpudiated by broaG-minded Cath
olics." Mr.. Lawrence hasn't vet
discovered tina the brOdd-minded
souls of that communion Were long
ago ercommunicdted: and that the
honest ones rho remain are cldSSed
as children" of the alleged church
WithOut any rOice Whdterer in It's
management. Further:
The administration is making no com.
plant. Il accepted its defeat with good
grace. IL was not a personal revolt
against the' president. Casual examina'
tion Of the list Of the men who voted
against independence will reveal some
stanch friends Of Mr.. Wilson, men whose
names have been aligned with his many
times in the past and will continue to be
in the future. All the more reason, m
deed, why the charge Of Catholic in
fiuence carries conviction.
There are a great many people hero
who believe il was a good thing that the
bill was killed yet who do not approve
of the methods by which it was sent tc
its death. The applause that was giver
TO the revolving Democrats for their
"high-minded stand was predicated OF
the sapposition that they really had as
sessed the problems involved In Philip
pine independence, and had arrived at 1
serious conclusion on the subject. How
little this was true is admitted privately
though thoughtlesly, by some Of tn
very men who helped kill the measure
So it seems that in Washington

Of Irish names recorded against Philip

made by members Of the sane raoe

centuries; but from a newspaper
man who knows the news when he
sees IL, and, in this instance has
put it past the Roman Catholic
censorship, into print And Mr..
Lawrence does not leave us with a
mere statement and bare assertion.
He also tells us why these twenty
odd papists moved in q body 10 de-
sert their party caucus and antag-
onize the administration Of which
they are supposed 10 be . sympa-
thetic part. He continues:
But there was no paradox in the vote,
no contradiction that cannot Be en-.
plained. In fact, some days before the
hnal vote was taken ominous warnings
were heard in administration quarters Of
the certain defeat Of the bill, because
the church was against IT," Also, q few

in a moment Of indiscretion that certain
church dignitaries wanted the bill killed,
and he proposed 10 follow their advice.
He mentioned names, too.
To whom did those Roman Cath
olic congressman yield their first
allegiance? To the sovereign on
the Tiber, or to the Democracy
voiced in the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, inserted in the Demo-
cratic platform and urged by the
Democrat president? Here We

which contained pottery. corncobs and
about a dozen seeds that resemblcd
ordinary squash seed. The room had
been sealed SO tightly that not even
mouse could make its way into IT,
