/ found, however, that the viewpoint
of Americans In the Philippines. and
Americans In the United States, on the
subject Of independence. is not the
same. j.
The attitude Of the American gov
eminent, and the great mass Of the
people of the United States, is to con-
slider the Philippine question from the
lnselflsh viewpoint Of what is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-hve
per cent Of the opposition to indie
pendence emanates from American in
vestors in the islands who are quite
naturally more interested in the size
of their dividends than the freedom of
AN alien people. =.
The unfortunate feature Of the sit
uation il that the, opponents Of indie
pendence, in order to convince the peo-
pie Of the United States that the Fill.
|pinos should not be granted their in
dependence, find it necessary to libel
an entire race. To tell a sensitive
,Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be-
jcause they are not fit for it will in
the end prove a mistaken policy: 1t
will only make their demand for In
dependence the stronger.
At the present time, however, the
sses Of the Filipino people still
absolute confidence in the good
b Of America. Their loyalty and
1itude to Uncle Sam has not as
been impaired by the misrepre-
citations Of the retentionists. Their
! leaders are intelligent enough to dis
! tinguish between those Americans
who oppose their aspirations to in
dependence for purely selfish reasons,
: and the great mass of the American
people whom they know desire this
government to do by the Filipinos
| only that which is just and right.
In this connection, It Is interesting
to review the development Of the pres.
,ent friendly relationship between the
Filipino and American peoples.
| Previous to 1915 the Philippine
American relationship is declared to
have been not Of the best. But with
the passage in that year Of the Jones
law by practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships Of Con
gress, a better feeling developed. This
i"better feeling has now grown into
q very strong bond Of sympathy and
affection.
| The happy attitude Of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prin
-cipally to the fact that Americana
have shown the Filipinos how to maxi
their country q better place to live in

and honors, and he had the distinc- tion of great family name.
 Perhaps the knowledge he gained of his fellow man and the hardships he endured while seeking wealth and adventure humanized him, or he may have inherited the traits which made him popular, but he was modest and unassuming, in many respects what Americans regard as the best type of an English nobleman.
 If one happens to be born to a title, through no fault of his own, perhaps one could not avoid the tedium that such a station in life implies to better purpose than the Marquis of Queensberry did. He chose a far more satisfying and in- teresting existence than lounging in a London club.

Market in Park.

Tt seems to me that the East Twen- tieth street side of Capitol park is an ideal location for the proposed city market" said Arthur Greenwood, who Is a member of the citizens committee appointed to choose site.
 The advantages are many and ob- vious. The East Twentieth street side of the park is practically free from street traffic of all kinds. It would only be necessary to put down pave ment, which could be easily cleaned. The city market would then have a central location, reached by number of trolley lines and accessible to auto mobiles. It is of prime importance to have the market as near the heart of the city as possible.
 T have talked to several prominent people who are interested in the prof. ect, some of them well-known req. estate men, and they agree with me that the site l suggest is the best that could be found. I do not think a mar ket on East Twentieth street would interfere with the projected civic cen ter, as the market could be placed at the back of any building that might be erected on that side of the park in the future."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
 AND ELSEWHERE
Bad Business

T was at East Lake Tuesday night on a Tidewater car" said Powell Proc tor, waiting for it to start for town. "and I saw boy put nickle in one of the vending machines which bedeck the cars, and it wouldn't let down the chewing gum Naturally the boy was worried, but in spite of all that he could do the gum failed to drop. In a few minutes the conductor got aboard and the boy stated his case. only to be told that he had nothing to do with il. and what was more, the company was not responsible, and flat he had just lost his nickle. It seems to me that somebody ought to be responsible. with it evidently gets something for the privilege of letting the vending right for public service corporation to be a party to or permit a passenger to be victimized as the boy was in the loss of his nickle. It is a small mat ter, but just such things cause such corporations to become unpopular. The machines should be taken out or some way arranged to reimburse a boy who in good faith puts a nickle In the slot and loses it.

Presidential Campaign
 And Business Interests

HE presidential campaign has
 0 not progressed far enough to predict with any certainty how it will end. The business interests are simply waiting>
 The chances for democratic vic tory are bright. As betting propo- sition, Governor Cox has the best of it today. It may be that the large interests favor Harding, but there is no doubt but that the masses favor Cox.
 President Wilson will cut an inn portant figure in the campaign. He is strong with the people and the closer Cox sticks to the Wilson policies the larger will be his vote. Harding represents the bosses, but this is not a year when the "boss' policy is in favor.
 As to business, there is no reason why it should not go forward, no mat ter how the tide turns. The country is prosperous and i will continue properouA Any halt

Another Terminal on
 the Warrior River

.N OOD for Demopolis! She in- NJ tends to get on the Warrior river. Demopolis is not waiting on some one else to come along and en- dow her with river terminals. She is going to build her own.
 Jesse B. Hearin, of that city, went to headquarters of Warrior develop ment to find out what was necessary to place Demopolis on the river. He was told what to do. Following his report to the citizens of Demopolis, they have agreed to furnish the site for the terminals and the rights of way and to contribute $15,000 for building them in cooperation with the government.
 With Demopolis on the river, there will be four Warrior terminals, the others being at Cordova, Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. They represent each stretch of that canalized stream.

Misguiding Leaders
 Of the Negro Race

ONHE worst enemies of the negro
 U race are in the ranks of that race.
 There are those among them who, knowing the idiosyncrasies, the hopes and fears of their kind, prey on them for their own advantage. It is such men as these who are at the bottom of the false lures that lead negroes into trouble. The more acute form of it is generally antedated by the exchange of dollars from the pockets of the gullible into those of these mis- leading profiteers.
 Marcus Garvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement As sociation, at the opening of the first convention of that society in Madison Square Garden, declared that Eng land, France, Belgium, Italy and ev- cry other white nation that "pre- empted any portion of the African continent are to be summarily or dered to get out" He further as serted that i've shall organize 400,- 900, ,OOO negroes throughout the world and Haunt the banner of democracy on the continent of Africa"
 Sensible men laugh at such declara- tions, but they also have serious side. They lead to contributions by the race to these ludicrous causes and they lead also to waves of excitement that bring about trouble between the races. It was some such dream busi- ness as this, associated with the money that corrupt white men and their black associates got out of it, that led to the Arkansas riots of last spring.
 The negro's haven is in the south where he and the white man under stand one another, and where the black race is yearly acquiring more property, more affluence and getting more out of lifeO

Appreciation.


 While coming home from Los An geles recently pickpocket happened to have been on the same train and to have relieved several of the pas sengers of all their money" said Noble R. Beale. ''The thief started to work early. and we were only a few hours out of the city when passengers began to miss their purses. From one boy about 20 years of age who lived in Chicago all of his money was stolen. The boy didn't even have enough left to buy a meal. He walked around looking very blue, and finally I asked him what the trouble was. When he told me, I gave him s20, so he could at least eat on the way home. I was fortunate enough to have been missed by the pickpocket. The boy took my name and address and yesterday I re- ceived a check for the money and d nice letter of appreciation from the boys father thanking me for my kind- ness to him on the Journey homeward." {"
