myself offer the example OF which I AVE always preached. A man ought to
die for duty and his principles l hold fast to every idea which l nave ad-

for It. l hold duties Of conscience above all else. Besides l wish to show

While Rial was in Europe working for Philippine reforms, the Spanish
encouragement, to indirectly punish Rial, carried o a relentless persecu-
ton of his parents and relatives II. the Philippines, driving them into exile
To his parents Rial left a second letter. saying: SHOULD fate go against me,
you will understand that l shall die happy in the thought that my death will
end all your troubles. Return to our country and may you be happy in It.
Till the last moment of my life l shall be thinking of you and wishing you all
good fortune and happiness"
Spain had meanwhile determined o. having IizaIs life, fooishly thinking
that If his voice sfned agitation for the reforms he champoned would
end. Rial a arrested o. a trumped up charge of treason and condemned
to death. But n % Done had the firing squad completed its work than the
teachings of Rial almost instantaneousy became the passionate inspiration
Of the whele Filipino ace. His unjust execution had simply transferred the
intense patriotism of Rial to the breasts OF an entire nation of people. The
Philippine nationalism of today dates from the sunsMny morning of December
&c, 1896, when Rial al led forth from his prison to willingly give, as lie
himself said. his life for his countrys redemption.
While touring in the Philippines recently the conviction "a eve present
in my mind, and 1 could lot throw 1t off, that the real inspiration al well as
the leadership Of the Filipino people in their present desire for independence
is the spirit Of Jose Rial The memory of Rial and the desire for indie
pendence seem to be synonymous in the mind of the average Filipino
Rial is the inspiration Of all classes, of old and young of al. the people;
he is not dead, for his spirit is everywhere in that beautiful land. His pic
tue adorns the homes Of the poWest. families; streets, avenues and cities are
named in his honor. while his statue stands in the parks and public squares
In life Rial was a beautiful character, kind and conddeae of all, gladly
giving his life for his country, and in memory he has become the national. idol
With such a spirit as its national Inspiration the Philippines can not help but
reach heights o moi dreamed of
While awaiting death in his cell during his last night on earth Rial wrote
q remarkable poem, my Last Farewell" He sereted the manuscript in al
alcohol cooking lamp where it was found after his execution. 1t follows:

man Con n occasion he travelled
across the United States). earned the
enmity of Spanish governors in the
Philippines by protesting against the
oppression of the Filipino people. AS
q boy he had witnessed scenes that
sent shafts Of grief into his poet
soul, and he early dedicated his life
to the liberation Of his land adored."
At the risk of his life, and at the
sacrifice of his career, friends and
loved ones, he became the spokesman
for the stiled grievances of the voice
less multitude, and thus became 1.-The
living indictment Of SPANS wretched
colonial system"
Rial could have saved his life, as
he had been warned by friends not to
return to the islands. He could not
be ~disSuaded, but before returning to
Manila left a letter with a friend in
Hongkong to be opened after his
death, in which he wrote: "Gladly do

For the Democratic presidential pref

the ballot, seemed to be getting the full
strength of the poll as far as counted.
Interest in the Democratic primary
centered in great degree in the contest
for the senatorial nomination than in
tn presidential race Starkweather ran
on q platform favoring ratification of
the peace treaty and Endorsement of the
league Of nations covneant as adopted
at Versailles, without change. Cham

that he supported certain proposed res
