Personal charm is like q light,

ppme Independence as matter that ought to receive
consideration at the hands of congress
But the Democratic congresses had other things to
take care Of, and the Fipnos were left to extract what
comfort they could out Of the empty promises Of DEM
ocraGc platforms. And now after two full terms. six
years Of which the Democracy was in full charge Of
the government, MIR. Wilson passes the Philippines on
to a Republican congress which will be busy to
pay any attention to such matters and thus to the in-
coming administration
As for the incoming administration. it will not be
embarrassed by any fuIsome platform pledges. The
Republican party as party has always been friendly
to the aspirations of the Fpinos, but it has not COM
mitted itself to any definite program with regard to
the future Of the archipelago And yet it is to be
hoped that something will be done in the near future
with regard to the future of the Philippines. A law
making body that IS willing TO go on record regarding
Irish Independence ought to be willing to deal frankly
with our own similar problem. Especially in view Of
the fact that Great Britain would have been spared
great deal of the trouble she is now having if there had
been action favorable to Irish aspirations before the
question got out of hand.

Have We Forgot?
(Fron the Chicago Trbune:)

From the Chicago Tribune:)
There was nothing too good
for them in 1917, when they
marched away, and nothing too
good for them In 1918 when the
news began to come in from Can
tigny, Chateau Thierry and Bel
leau Woods.
There is nothing too good for
them today, when we stop to think
about them. But 1t is easy to
forget. The republic has not been
upgrateful and it Is ready to do
more. Legislative provisions for
soldiers, and especially. for the
disabled ones, has been more in
telligent and liberal than In the
past. We have made an advance
over past wars.
but It ls not enough. No law
can ever provide for what these
boys need and so richly deserve
these boys, of whom hundreds are
lying on cots In the government
or other hospitals, or hobbling on
crutches, or making their way with
cane In place of the good eyes
God gave and war took away.
Law can give these boys a
pension, money which can never
compensate for what they have
given their country. But law can
not give the consolation and COM
fort which comes from the spoken
word of praise and gratitude, the
little acts of kindness which will
meet their personal wants.
There are not SO many OF these
boys scattered here and there over
the country. So the greater
shame to US IL we forget them,
the greater shame If any one of
them shall feel lonely or friend
less or lack for any of the things
the heart OF a crippled or ailing
boy may fix upon. Recently a
visitor TO q Washington hospital
found that one of the boys. who
would never leave his bed. longed
for a canary. When 1t arrived 1t
gave moro happiness than We who
are privileged to live our normal
lives coulH believe possible. 1t
wasn't all the canary, 1t was
partly the thought that someone
cared enough for a simple Wish
to crafty 1t.
1.-THE boys who paid the last full
measure of devotion are gone.
We can only honor their memories.
But these. whose payment was
perhaps heavier, are with us, and
1t should be but greatest privilege
to see that their lot is as hopeful
and happy as we can make 1t. We
have come through the great trial
Of war with different degrees of
sacrifice, some of US with little
enough paid. But these boys out
Of the rich treasure Of their youth

yond the wealth of this world.

they have what of the good things
OF life they desire. and, most OF
all, the best OF life, the sense OF

Judging by the tone of the dispatches that have
been coming out Of washington during the past
day or two congress is anxious to do something for
business. The best thing congress can do for bust

crate Until Goal or 500 Is
Reached.

The membership campaign Of the
Thurston county Farm Bureau Is
coming along in splendid shape,
according 20 E. B. Stookey, county
agent, and the local bureau will most
probably have $50 to 400 members
when the returns from volunteer
solicitors reach the extension office.
while the campaign ofiicially
ended on December 49," Mr.. Stookey
said. the solicitors are still In the
field and will continue soliciting un-
till the original goal of 500 members
is reached. While am entirely con-
fident that the FIVE dollar fee was
absolutely necessary for Thurston
county. in view OF the present con-
ditions l thinl: It would have been q
mistake to have gone above that
amount. The people are so enthus-
iastic about the. farm bureau that
many persons are making out their
applications for membership with
promises to pay the fee at some later
date.
From the standpoint of the Ave
dollar fee the solicitors have gained
a great deal of cooperation which
could not have been gained in any
other way. This is illustrated by the
experience of d. McGonigle. When
he approached certain man for
membership the latter asked him if
he were getting a good rakeoff for
his work. Mr.. McGonigle replied
that he was not getting a cent but wa
doing the work for the good of the
farmers. a
when men like Mr.. McGonigle
are willing to leave their own work
and devote whole week to solicita-
tion for the bureau without remuner-
alton there can be no doubt about
the final outcome.
