Pete Brady is firmly convinced it
does not pay to try to get, ahead of
a railroad company. Last Saturday
evening Mr.. and Mrs Brady and
daughter Margaret were returning
from few days visit in St. Joe and
Kansas City. They reached Davis
City on the early evening train and
would have to wait there a couple
of hours before catching the train
for Leon, and when Delos .Ackerley
came along in his. car they cheerfully
accepted an invitation to ride to
Leon instead of waiting for the
train. All went we'll until they
reached Little river where the
federal road contractors were at
work, and here they encountered a
mud hole and the car stuck. Pete
tried in vain to push or lift the car
out, but all he accom- lished was to
get covered with yellow clay. Finally
he took Mrs. Brady and Margaret
over to Koyle, tagged the night
train and they came to Leon, then
Pete got a car and went back and
pulled Delos out, and reached home
at IL o'clock. He'll use the train
hereafter.

Senate President Manuel L. ouezon.

States. Mr.. Quezon and the Hon. Ser
gio OSmena, Speaker of the Philippine
House of Representatives and Vice
President of the Council of State, are
the leaders of the Nacionalista party,
which has been in power since 1907.
While Speaker Osmena is not so well
known in the United States as Quczon,
he is considered one of the ablest men
in the islands. Senate President Que
zOn recently referred to Osmena as
"the greatest Filipino since Rial"
The personal relations between Os-
mcna and QueZon are probably without
a parallel III modern politics They
have been the leading political figures
in the islands for II years, yet there
has never been the slightest indication
of rivalry between them. Throughout
their college life as well as their long
political service each has refused to he

other aspired to.

Whenever he spoke he was assured Of
n good attendance. One of the official
short hand reporters once declared
QueZon used the purest English of any
member of the House.
Osmena, as president of the Nacion.
alista party, is the leader Of the ma
tional movement for independence.
"Osmena is the premier de facto' of
the Philippines" said leading Fjlipi-I

very conscientious and tircless worker,
thorough and persistent, a genius forl
grasping the big features as well asl
the smallest details of public affairs,I
cool headed, quiet by temperament and
education, a deep thinker, an eloquent
speaker, polished writer, keen OBJ
server of men-such is Osmena."
Both O-mcnG and QuezOn have been
consistent advocates Of Philippine in
dependence yet when the occasion de-
manded it they have never hcsitated to
champion the cause Of Americas good
