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
unselfsh viewpoint Of what is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-tive
per cent of the opposition TO indie
pendence emanates from American in
yestors 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 Is that the opponents of indie
Dendence, 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 a sensitive
Christian people that they shall not
have their promised independence be-
cause they are not fit for 1t 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
masses of the Filipino people still
have absolute confidence in the good
faith of America. Their loyalty and
gratitude to Uncle Sam has not as
yet been impaired by the misrepre-
sensations 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, 1t Is interesting
to review the development of the pres
emit friendly relationship between the
Filipino and American peoples.
Previous to 1915 the Philippine
American relationship is declared ia

the passage In that year of the Jones
law by practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships of Con
gress, 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 prln.

have shown the Filipinos how to make
their country better place to live in

principally to the fact that in the
her word of honor that as soon as
stable government could be establish
ed we would withdraw our sovereignty
from the Philippine Islands.
II might at 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 It cnn-
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
the Filipino people better than any
nation ever treated dependent alien
people In all the days since the curtain
rose on the dawn Of civilization. If
we do not spoil 1t, 1t Is record that
we can be proud of.

the Filipino should love us more for
our promise to give them sovereignty

properly so, for every cent of the cost.

Suppose that Great Britain or any

terring to your geography or history
should impose its sovereignty upon US
against our Will and then give us hD
infinitely better government than we
now enjoy1 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 Fiji
pinos heartily thanked US for the
Jones law, considering It sort of a
covenant between the Filipino aDo
American peoples, and Immediately
applied themselves to the task Of set
ting up the prescribed stable govern
ment And they set 1t up. Ii Is In

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, 1t Is moi
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 anC
hesitate until our hardness robs us
of half the glory of our achievement
Let US act with a 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 6
monument to themselves that viii
stand throughout eternity. On thai
day the beacon light of hope, humanity
and justice will flash around the world
Such an example by America will &C

$50 Pig Sells for $4,000

Manchester, Iowa--Selling for
$4,000 an animal for which he
paid $50 little over eight months
ago is the record made by Howard
l.. Cook OF Cofin's Grove township.
He sold Great Orion Sensation
to Guy Peters Of Dewitt and de-
livered the animal by truck to Ce-
dar Rapids this week.
This hog was sired by the grand
champion of the world, but was
purchased by Mr.. Cook on October
80, 1919, for only $50, the pig be-
ing then only seven months old.
The pig never had a taste of corn,
but dined on four or five gallons of
fresh separated milk and two gal
Ions Of rolled oats. He is now
forty inches high and seventy-four
inches long and is expected to
weigh 1900 pounds when he at
tains his full growth.

CHAPTER XIV.

All afternoon of that rainy April
fourth, Daniel roamed restlessly about
the loop. until, shortly before dark, the
returns began coming in. About the
newspaper offices he mingled with the
crowds, black smudges against shining
streets, watching the figures flashed
by precincts on screens; and when, as
often occurred, he was greeted effu-
siyely by friends and acquaintance,
he would answer perfunctorily and
stride on to the next bulletin.
From the start it was plainly seen
which way the election tended. Din

and Burlington were running neck and

and crime, was elected mayor of Chi
