Filipino mission here, seeking
scIf-government
The day is very close az hand
when this can be formally accom-
piished. Baker told the mission. de-
scribing existing relations as being

This. he added. is the view OF the
president as well. He read a letter
from the president 10 the mission.
which expressed pride in the support
the Filipino people have given the
United States during the war.
The presidents letter. in part ad-
dressed to Secretary Baker, and read
BY him 10 the mission. said:
Presidents Letter
"wm you please express 70 the
gentlemen OF the commission repre-
senting the Filipino legislature my
regret that ! shall be unable 10 see
them personally on their arrival in
Washington. as well as my hone that
their mission will be a scarce OF
qualification to them and that II will
result in bringing about the desirable
end set forth In the joint resolution
OF the legislature, approving the
sending of the commission to the
United States
II have been deeply gratified with
the constant support and encourage
ment received from the Filipino peo-
pie and from the Philippine legisla-
ture in the trying period thru which
we are passing. The people OF the
United States have. with reason. TAX
en- the deepest pride in the loyalty
and support OF the Filipino people.
Tho unable to meet the commits
sion. the Filipino people shall not be
absent from my thoughts. Not the
least important labor of the confer
ton is that OF making the pathway
of the weaker people of the world
less perilous-a labor which should
be. and doubtless is. of deep and
abiding interest in tkc Filipino peo-
ple."
Present Appeal
A mission consisting OF 40 promi-
nent natives of the islands. headed
by Manuel l.. Quezon. president OF
the Filipino senate. presented the ap-
peal Tor independence to Secretary
Baeer, at the war department.
Declaring that the islands stood
by you" in the fight for the rights
and liberties of small nations" Que
zon, speaking for the mission. said
that granting of independence TO his
country will prove to the world that
America is n ''liherating rather than
conquering nation"
The mission came to Secretary
Bakers office this morning. where
they We're received by the secretary,
Chief o fStaff March. Gen. Frank NJ.
Mcintyre. who has been in charge Of
the insular bureau. and other distin-
guished army officers, whose past
service has brought them in touch
with the Filipino people.
Baker praised the co-opera ton OF
the Fflipinos during the war and
their restraint in abandoning, dur
ing that period. all agitation for in
dependence.
He dwelt upon the development OF
the principles of liberty and self-gov-
ernment which the Filipino people
have achieved under American su-
pervision. He said that the people
of the United States would be even
prouder of the Philippines when
they had achieved their independ-
ence entirely.

"The true policy of the American

AUSTIN, TEXAS, HAS FOUR MEN
IN PRESIDENTS CABINET

With less than forty thousand pop
ulation Austin, Texas, furnished the
United States with four members of
the presidents cabinet. This state
ment is, however, subject to qualifi-
cation. Mr.. House, a Texas banker,
has no portfolio, but is probably closer
to, and has more influence with the
president than an official member of
the presidential family. Also, ii must
be here stated, Attorney General Thos.
W. Gregory recently resigned his po-
sition, so that Mr.. Sidney Burleson,
postmaster general, and Mr.. Huston,
secretary of agriculture, are the only
official members just now left in the
official family, not forgetting, of
course, that Mr.. House is still on the
Job and in Paris, too. Few states,
not to mention one little city of forty
thousand population, have ever been
so fortunate in all the history of this
country. We are not finding fault
with Texas, grand old state, with a
long list of heros and patriots, but we
are unable to account for her good
fortune. II helps, tho, to fix the con-
viction that Sphynxlike Mr.. House
has the ear of the president.

American navy.
The people of the world have a right
to know the facts about all of these
matters. As a preliminary every So
called secret treaty made during the
war ought to be laid upon the confer
ence table and submitted to the impair
tial Judgment of the world so that
public sentiment may determine
whether or not such bargains should
be carried out or rescinded by mutual
consent, compelled by that same pub
lie sentiment. However, it is being
found extremely difficult to get to an
impartial world full statement of the
facts of what is happening in Paris.

REFLECTIONS ON THE SEATTLE
STRIKE

The city of Seattle has already lost
the ship building industry. As fur
Their result of the strike if half of the
city should go up in smoke and some
thousands of people should be killed,
all of which is quite within the range
of possibility, under present condi
tons, Seattle people will have them
selves to blame. The underlying
cause is profiteering. If Seattle for
tunately escapes serious trouble the
sober, serious minded people of the
city should get together and take all
those rent profiteers, food profiteers
and all the heartless, soulless brood
of profiteers out in the bay and tie a
rock to the neck of each and throw
him overheard. they would do SER
vice to the city and possibly help to
preserve civilization by their example.
After all we have said about the |. W.
W and the Bolshevik there still re-
mains to be said, the rich hog who
takes advantage of his opportunities
to reap big profit off those who
must submit to his terms in order
to live, he is the most dangerous en-
envy to society and organized govern
nent. He may escape the wrath of
his victims this time, but if permitted
to keep up his trade of gathering dol
airs by ways known only to profiteers
the day will come when mountains of
wrath will fall on him and his tribe.
The unholy gathering of money has
ever been the canker at the vitals of
civilization. The strangle-hold of the
profiteer must be broken or civiliza-
ton will perish here as we know it
persisted three times in the valley of
the Euphrates in the last fifty thou
sand years.
The universal law of beginning, de-
velopment and decay applies to ma
tons as we'll as all other things, and
yet, somehow, when we reflect on what
has been done by the people of this
country, we can not escape the desire
to see what has been done under our
government perpetuated indefinitely.
However, all nature points with an lln
erring finger to the fact that what
grows rapidly also decays rapidly.
We have accomplished in a hundred
years what no other civilization has
before accomplished in five hundred
or thousand years. We can not help
wondering what might be accom-
plished in another hundred years if
greed and selfishness could be curbed.

DEMAND FOR TALC

The information comes to the Echo
that parties were in Leavenworth re-
Gently making inquiries about tale.
They were looking for large body of
tale, either white, blue or grey, but
it must be free from dirt or grit, and
be in considerable quantity.
In the past we have had samples
of tale brought to this office that was
found in the hills surrounding Leav-
enworth. If this item happens to
fall under the eye of someone who
knows of body of tale, by calling at
the Echo office he can get information
that may lead to his advantage.
