how many know that this organization
with its beautiful teachings had a
humble beginning In Defiance, o.. and
that the Indiana branch sprang from
an organization of Christian women in
this little town?
The origin of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union dates back to the
time when the crusade against saloons
spread through the United States, and
nowhere was that crusade carried on
more vigorously than in Knightstown.
It was in 1847 that the crusade started
here. Knightstown in those days was
a wild place and many mothers saw
their sons, husbands and brothers go
down to destruction through the liquor
traffic. There were only two saloons
here then, but they did the business of
ten, and when the crusade was over
the saloons increased. Only for one
day was Knightstown without saloon
until the county option law was passed
that was when Perry Newly was
prosecuting attorney, and one day he
had every saloon keeper and bartender
in Jail at one and the same time.
Thinks Prayers Are Answered
One OF the original crusaders is still
living here. She is seventy-seven years
old, but until the last year she has en-
joyed perfect health. Her mind Is
bright and her memory clear, and she
likes to tell Of the days when the good
women of Knightstown waged their
fight against the saloons. She is strong
in her belief that the prayers OF the

FILIPINO INDEPENDENCE

Mr., Wilson has apparently come to
the conclusion that the time for COM
plete Filipino independence Is at hand
and Is quoted on authority OF secro-
tary Baker to that effect. Tho Amcri-
can Republic has had no desire to con-
tinue its guardianship over the Philip
pines longer than may be necessary to
further their orderly development.
There, are very grave reasons to doubt.
however, II the Filipinos are Mt for self
soyetnment. A relatively small number
Of the superior races living in the Island
Of Luzon have shown capacity for or
Derby government. but this element Is in
tho decided minority. and in some parts
Of the islands conditions approaching
Aarbarism still prevail.
We have invited American and foreign
capital to the Philippines. A great Innny
Americans have gone there TO make
their homes. We cannot abandon these
people or thar interests to tho tender
