Good morning!
This is February IL!
The weather to-day will probably be ta1r.
To many Americans to-day,
the 18th of February, the birthday of
Abraham Lincoln,

is the greatest day of the year,
excepting none other than the
one morn when the little SON
of Mary was born in the stable
sheds of the Bethlehem field.
Abraham Lincoln, the SIX
teenth President of the United
States, was born in 1909 near
iodgcnsville, Kentucky, the
most unlikely boy ever to have
thought that he might be-
come President of the United
States.
In 1916, when Abe was 7
years old, his parents moved
to Spencer County, Indiana,
and when Abe was 21 years
old his father took up an un-

THE SPRING.

TRANSLATED from French.)
A spring, above shining lake,
Two shadowy rocks between,
Set gaily forth to find its way
Amid the meadows green.
90 what joy!" it murmured low
To shining dragon-fy,
To leave the dark, hard earth and go
To breast the azure sky.

Peer at me thru the grass,
You sweep my mirror with your
wings
And tease me not to pass. :

BABY, BUNNY AND PROPHYLAC'

The antiseptic baby and the prophy-
Tactic pup
We're playing in the garden when the
bunny gamboled up;
They looked upon the creature with
loathing undisguised.
For he wasn't disinfected and he
wasn't sterilized.
They said he was a microbe and a
hotbed of disease;
They steamed him in vapor OF a
thousand-odd degrees;
They froze him in a freezer that was
cold as vanished hope,
They washed him with permanganate
and carbolated soap;
With sulphurated hydrogen they
bathed his wiggly ears;
They trimmed his frisky whlskers
with pair of hard boiled shears;
Then they donned their rubber nit
tens and they took him by the
hand
And elected him a member of the fu-
migated band.
Now there's not micrococcus in the
garden where, they play.
And they bathe in pure iodoforrn
dozen times a day.
Taking each his daily ration from a
hygienic cup

phylactic pup.

PRAISES HARDING'S
WELFARE PROGRAM

Senator Harding's address on social
justice in which he proposed Federal
Department of Public Welfare, is the
longest step and practicable proposal
yet taken by any man Of official re-
sponslbflity," declares Hon. Simeon u.
Tess, representative in Congress from
Ohio.
"His program goes directly to the
core Of the problem and demands pro-
lection, first, of motherhood, by safe
guarding maternity, then of childhood
by proper legislation, and through
these, the national health against In
vasion Of disease through low stand
ards Of morals and commercial ag-
erosion of industry, which exposes to
epidemics," he said. He recognizes
social justice not as woman's prob
lem, but as q general problem, IN
which women play larger part
Hence, his specific demands that won-
en- be placed on various boards, Fed
eral and State, which have to deal
with problems of employment, labor
adjustment and wherever national
health is to be determined. lIiS Coii-
Germ must extend to women in agri-
culture, as we'll as industries.
Senator Harding's sound common
sense prevents his dealing in general
theories at the expense of practical
results. Alive to the dangers OF
bureaucracy. against which he warns,
he asks for reorganization of our de-
partments at Washington which will
be one of his earliest tasks. and rec
ommends the creation Of department
of Public Welfare, to have directions
of the problem of social justice. This
will prevent duplication Of agencies
BY unifying half dozen bureaus now
doing a haphazard work into one re-
sponsible and responsive department
of the government. This step carries
a program of social justice from the
stage of theoretical speculation to
that of practical execution, and the
country can expect immediate action
along practical lines"

contact with all classes of the people.
l 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
unselfsh viewpoint of what is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-hve
per cent of the opposition to indie
pendence emanates from American in
yesfors 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
pendence, in order to convince the peo-
ple 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. 1t
will only make their demand fer 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, it is interesting
to review the development Of the pres
ent 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 year 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 attitude of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prin-
cipally 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
superintendent the implanting 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 works-but is due
