found, however, that the viewpoint
Of Americans I'm 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
unselflsh viewpoint of what is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-fve
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 is 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 q 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
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
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 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

Over twenty years ago the legisla-
ture of Tennessee abolished a mum.
Der Of courts An investigation show
ed that many judges were not work,
ing half the time for which they were
paid. Since that time every recurring
legislature has created new courts and
lessened the amount of work required

criminal, circuit and equity judges
than there were twenty years ago.
In the meantime the population of the
state has increased but little Some
judicial circuits today contain a much
smaller population than they did in

judges have been increased by about
sixty per cent over what they former
ly were. Altogether a tremendously
increased burden for judiciary expens-

The people are at loss to understand
why under present conditions it takes
more and better paid judges to dis
pose of litigation than it did twenty
years ago when the liquor traffic was
in full bloom. 1t is duty that the

all the virtues inherent in the Ameri-
