There must be some foundation for

her temper and nearly upset the
ark itself with the ':kick" she
made at its uprearing. She fought
Noah with doughty fists all the way
through, and when the great man had
completed his work she said she would
not go in with the animals. The an
imals behaved better, and went tidily
into the ark. At last Naamah con-
sented to carry in the Tyre bird. When
they were afloat Naamah declared she

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
unselish viewpoint of What is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-ive
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 div idends han the freedom of
an alien people.
The unfortunate feature of the sit
uation is that the opponents of indie
p~endence. 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
cause they are not fit for it will in
the end prove a mistaken policy. Ii
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
tingulsh 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 Inc right.
In this connection. 1t is interesting
to review the development of the pres
emf friendly relationship between the
Filipino and American peoples.
Previous to 1916 the Philippine
American relationship is declared to
have been not of the best. But with
the passage In that yea OF the Jones
law by practically both the Republican
and Democratic memberships of Con-
gress, a better feeling developed. This
better feeling has now grown into
a very strong bond of sympathy and
affection.
The happy altitude of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prln-
cipally to the fact that Americans
have shown the F~iliplnos how TO make
their country a better place to live in (;
not principally TO the fact we have

Declares Filipinos All
Want independence
Former Illinois Congressman, Back From Philippines
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 o o IA a
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. Fol- II can
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
the Filipino people better than any
nation ever treated a dependent alien
people in all the days since the curtain
rose on he dawn OF civilization. If
we can be proud of.
But 1t 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 FillpinOs have been taxed. and
properly so, for every cen of the cost.
If we but reverse the situation, and
place ourselves in the shoes Of the
Filipinos. which cannot be said to be
an unfair way of getting at the other
fellows viewpoint, we shall see that
II Is not strange.
Suppose that Great Britain or any
other power that you can think OF by re-
ferring to YOU geography or history,
should impose Its sovereignty upon us
against our will and then give u an
infinitely better government than we
now enjoy? Could n such foreign
power ever succeed in convincing us
that II had our welfare more at heart
than we have ourselves.
But to return to my story, the Fill
plnos heartily thanked us for the
Jones law, considering ii a sort of a
|ena 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 it up. 1t is in
the Philippines now. Americas W
representative in the islands, the gov
ernor general, officially reports 1t is
there. and recommends that since the
Filipinos have earnestly fulfilled he'll
part OF the agreement, America should
be as prompt in carrying out its part
OF the contract.
Sc that, in a few words, 1t is not
the Philippines hat nov are on trial,
but the United States
There Is but one answer. America
will carry ont its agreement. And
since We are going to do II, 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 a promptness and will
ingness really worthy Of America.
And when the people of the United
States set up he Philippine Republic
as the first Christian democracy of
the Far East, they will be building a
monument TO themselves hat will
stand throughout eternity. On that
day the beacon light of hope, humanity
and justice will flash around the world.
Such an example by America will ac'
compllsh 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. It is of course, not possible merely from the description given to determine the nature of the trouble. It is sugg estive, however, that you speak of this itch coming about harvest time, for it may be that the trouble is due to the straw itch mite.
