The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1920-11-03
BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won In this Democratic convention was
scored by a young Filipino by the name
OF Jose ?. MelenciO. He has charge of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools Of the Phllippines-under
American teachers, as he proudly
deutschland at Georgetown, D. q.
He Is remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without trace of EN-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence The
audience was astonished at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts ana
the high tone of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea
When one Of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as if he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. 1t
was a remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise Of inde'
pendence I was proud Of this illustra'
ton of what the Filipino Is capable.

Washington. circles of both

poll on the question of government
operation among over 5000 -newspa.
per editors throughout the country
With SO per cent of these editors, re.
CARELESS Of political faith, giving 1t as
their impartial opinion that the public
Is more than ever opposed to the gov
eminent going into business in com
petition with its citizens, observers
here see little chance that either po.
litlcal party will find it a profitable
campaign issue.
In the opinion Of party leaders this
sort OF a canvass among newspaper
editors Is the best possible index Of
public opinion. They recall q similar
questionable sent out year ago In
connection with the proposition that
the government take over tile rail
rOnds permanently. Replies at that
time from approximately the same
number of editors showed SO per cent
against the principle Of government
operation. They recall also that with.
In ten days fror publication of the
result Of the former questionable the
sentiment for return of the railroads
to their owners had definitely crys-
tallized.
Comparison of present results in de-
tail with those Of year ago con-
vinces the political student not only
that these editors have been accurate
In their judgment, but that party con-
siderations played no part in form
Ing it. From Democratic and sup
posedly radical Texas, for example,
the present QUESTIONABLE brought re-
plies from editors of 2l4 papers, only
three Of which are Republican. Yet
the percentage against government
OjeratlOn .was 90, which is exactly the
same as that given by 200 editors
from Republican Michigan, among
whom were representatives of only
three Democratic papers. Other
states that pair percentages signiti-
cantly are Massachusetts and Nevada,
with 100; Connecticut and South Caro-
lima. with 81; Maine and West Vir-
ginia, with 90; Kentucky and New
York, with 81; Missouri and Pennsyl-
vanla, with 80; Ohio and Oklahoma,
with 81.

government operation in each state

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.
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
unselfish viewpoint of what is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-five
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 10 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 1t necessary to libel
an entire race. To tell sensitive
Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be-
cause they are not fit for 1t will in
the end prove mistaken policy. 1t
will only make their demand for in
dependence the stronger
At the present time, however, the
masses Of the Filipino people still
have absolute confidence In the good
faith Of America. Their loyalty and
gratitude to Uncle Sam has not us
yet been impaired by the mlsrepre-
sensations Of the retentionlsts. 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, 1t 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
thC P"oSuSo III thut year VI the JONES
law by practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships Of Con-
grcss, u better feeling developed. This
better feeling" has now grown into
. very strong bond Of sympathy and
affection.
The happy attitude Of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prin.
clpally to the fact that Americans
have shown the Filipinos how to make
their country better place to live in !;
not principally to the fact we have
supcrintended the implantlng In the
Philippines Of one Of the finest edu.
cational systems In the world; nor to
the building Of high class roads,
bridges and public w0rks--but IL due

Gives Interesting Views on Island Affairs.


principally to the fact that in the
Jones law America gave the FilipinOs
her word Of honor that as soon as a
stable government could be establish
ed we would withdraw our sovereignty
from the Philippine Islands.
1t might, ut first thought, seem
strange that In their sincere appre-
citation of all that we have done for
them the Filipino people should place
most emphasis on the promise to grant
them their independence. For 1t can
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
the Filipino people better than any
nation eyer treated a dependent alien
people in all the days since the curtain
rose on the dawn Of civilization. II
we do not spoil 1t, it Is a record that
we can be proud of.
But It really isn't so strange that
the Filipino should love US more for
our promise to give them sovereignty
over themselves than for our other
good works, for which, after all, out
side of army and navy expenditures,
the Filipinos have been taxed, and
properly SO, for every cent of the cost.
If we but reverse the situation, and
place ourselves In the shoes Of the
FllipinOs, which cannot be said to be
an unfair way Of getting at the other
fellows viewpoint, we shall see that
1t Is not strange.
Suppose that Great Britain or any
other power that you can think Of by re-.
ferring to your geography or history.
should impose its sovereignty upon US
against our will and then give US an
Infinitely better government than we
now enjoy7 Could any such foreign
power ever succeed In convincing US
that 1t had our welfare more at heart
than we have ourselves.
But to return to my story, the Fill
pinOs heartily thanked US for the
Jones law, considering 1t sort Of
covenant between the Filipino and
American peoples, and Immediately
applied themselves to the task Of set
ting up the prescribed stable govern
ment. And they set 1t up. 1t Is in
the Philippines now. Americas own
representative in the islands, the gov
ernor general, officially reports 1t is
there, and recommends that since the
Filipinos have earnestly fulfilled their
part Of the agreement, America should
be as prompt In carrying out its part
of the contract.
So that. in a few words, It Is not
the Philippines that now are on trial,
but the United States.
There Is but one answer. America
will carry out its agreement. And
since We are going to do it, we cannot
afford to bubble and split hairs and
hesitate until our hardness robs US
Of half the glory Of our achievement.
Let us act with prOmptness and will
ingness really worthy Of America.
And when the people Of the United
States set up the Philippine Republic
as the first Christian democracy Of
the Far East. they will be building a
monument to themselves that will
stand throughout eternity. On that
day the beacon light Of hope, humanity
and justice will fash around the world.
Such an example by America will &C.
complish more for the weak and strug-
Cling peoples Of the earth than the
four year world war, with all its cost
In life and treasure.

A special delegation of Filipinos, Of

pie, attended the Republican and Dem
Ocratic National conventions, seeking
an Endorsement Of the Filipino desire
for independence in the two platforms
Their arguments, briefly stated, were
as follows:
First.-That the American Declare.
tion Of Independence declares that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed;
Second.-That the American Con.
gress. in the Jones law, solemnly prom
ised the Filipinos independence upon
the establishment Of stable govern
ment, and that their claim that the
said stable government is now in ex-
istence in the islands has been official.
ly confirmed by Americas own repre-.
sentatives there and
Third.-That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion Of "seif determine.
tion," American soldiers having been
told 1t was one of the things they
were fighting and dying for.

The Filipinos declare they have no
grudge or grievance against the Amer

panied by message of friendship and
gratitude for all that America has done
for them. They point out that Uncle
Sam gave independence to Cuba. and
they hope that they, too, will receive
that boon without which, they declare,
no civilized and patriotic people can

Seventy per cent Of the inhabitants
Of the Philippines over ten years OF
age, according to census just COM
pleted, are literate. This is a higher
percentage of literacy than that Of any
South American country, higher than
that Of Spain and higher than that of
any of the new republics Of Europe
whose independence is being guaran-
teeI by the Allies.
The Filipino people are unanimous
In their desire for independence.
Whenever they are called upon to de-
post their ballots they have always
ratified this aspiration. At every ses-
sion before adjournment their repre-.
sentatives in the Legislature reiterate
their faith in the principles of liberty
and the independence Of the Filipino
people.

some FACTS
ABOUT The
PHILIPPINES

The University Of Santo Tomas Is
q, years older than Harvard.
The Filipino people number 1885,
$40, of which 9,495272 are Christians
and only 9 per cent n-Christians.
They have been Christians for 300
years and have culture and refine
ment that will compare very tavorably
with that Of other nations.
There are only 6,0S4 Japanese in the
Philippines. There are about 100000
japanese in California alone, or Is
times as many as In the entire Philip
pine archipelago.
English is taught exclusively in the
Philippine public schools. Two mil
lion natives now speak English fluent
ly, and there are 100000 English
speaking children in the public schools.
1t Is destined to be the national Ian.
