Filipino Army.
oughly at home that she captivated ey-
erybody."
On another occasion while in Wash
ington Miss Aguinaldo was given a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited my Last Fare
WE'LL" poem of DR.. Jose Rial, the Fill
ipino martyr.
Miss Aguinaldo is a student at the
University Of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.
While in Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime G. deVeyra, wife
Of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Filipino, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight. When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
swered:
sit is a wonderful country. ! didn't
like winter at first, but since / have
learned how to skate / am having I'm
times. All the Americans whom l have
met have been very good to me. My
friends in Urbana and my classmates
in the university are just lovely, but l
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because I am missing my father. My
coming here was indeed a great sacri-
fee for him, for we are very close. He
is so good to me-"
Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or reads of a m~isrepre-
sentation of the Filipinos. 1T is IN
fortunate" she once exclaimed in a
voice full of sadness, that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood, by the people of Am
erica"
Politics Is tabooed in any conversa-
ton with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All 1 can say she
declares, 'is that l share with my
father in the desire for independence
for nv native land. There is no ques-
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
q genuine Filipino temperament
that is. she does not believe in the oc-
cidental custom of dates" between
Young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong in it, she says, but
II is such a violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can
not adopt it.
"You might laugh at me-" she said,
'but 1 cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperoned. ! simply can't.
I will go back to my country with the
soul of a Filipino"
A newspaper in one Of the large Am
erican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit
| ed expressed the opinion hat she
would no doubt be greatly impressed
by the sight Of street cars and some OF
the fine residences she would see, but
the truth is the young lady was raised
| in Manila, where she has seen an up
to-date street a system all her life.

Illinois Executive Shows That
Business Methods More Than
Counterfeit High Prices.
4 RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated
Business Men Put in Office
Sound Financial Policy APP
piled to State
Affairs.

Gov. Frank o. Lowden's great rec
ord as war executive of Illinois has
made him one of the leading candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for president. 1t is a story of admin
istrative achievements. Every pledge
to the people has been redeemed.
Despite high prices and unsettled
conditions due to the war, Gov. Low
den, by the practical application of
business methods to the Management
of the states affairs, reduced the tax
rate in Illinois SO per cent in two
years. His friends are certain that he
can do for the nation what he has
done for Illinois in the matter of good
government and lower taxes If he is
given the opportunity.
When Governor Lowden assumed Of
fee as executive of Illinois in Janu-
ary, 1917, the state treasury was prac-
tically bankrupt. There was only $3.50
to the credit of the general fund,
when outstanding bills had been paid.
One of his first official acts was to
abolish many political jobs by COM
bining the work of lbs different de-
partments and bureaus into nine com
pact central departments. Gov. Low
den also had the state adopt a budget
system which he thought would be a
model for other commonwealth. He
placed business men and trained ex-
perts in charge of each of these de-
partments with gratifying results to
the taxpayers.
The cost of conducting the state
government was reduced hundreds Of
thousands of dollars a year while the
quality of service to the public showed
a marked improvement. The effects
of a business administration in the
state were manifest in a short time.
The state gradually built up a cash
balance and was able to discount its
bills.
AS a practical illustration of what
good government means it is officially
estimated that Illinois will have a
cash balance of $~9,877,225 on hand
July 1, 1920, in spite of a reduction Of
lS3 per cent in the tax rate. This is
what Gov. Lowden's business admins
tration has done for Illinois.
In addition to these things Gov.
ILowden succeeded in accomplishing
these concrete results:
Began work on the states $60,O0O,-
600 good roads system. Two hundred
miles of good road were built last year.
One thousand miles will be completed
In 1920.
Authorized the beginning Of work on
the last link Of the states system OF
waterways, which will connect the
Great Lakes with the Mississippi river.
Obtained needed tax reforms for the
people.
Recognized the states penal and
charitable institutions on a humane
basis.
Brought about a constitutional con-
yention for Illinois, which is now In
session forming a new basic law for
the state.
Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that
actions speak louder than words, and
they point to his public record as evil
dence hat he is the type of man need
ed for president in this critical period
OF the country's history.
