BY WILLIAM j. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored by young Filipino by the name
of Jose P. Melencio. He has charge Of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools of the Philippines-under
american teachers, as he proudly
boasted-and at Georgetown, D. @.
lie Is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace of en-
Darrassment, he presented the claim
OF the Eilipinos to independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment Of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as if he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer. 1t
was remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise of indie
pendence l was proud Of this illustra-
ton Of what the Filipino is capable.

A special delegation of Filipinos, Of
ficiany representing the Filipino peo-
pie, attended the Republican and Dem
ocratic National conventions, seeking
an Endorsement of the Filipino desire
for independence in the two platforms.
Their arguments, briefly stated, were
as follows:
First.-That the American Declara-
ton of Independence declares that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed;
Second.-That the American Con-
gress. in the Jones law, solemnly prom
ised the Filipinos independence upon
the establishment of stable govern
ment, and that their claim that the
said stable government is now in ex-
istence in the Islands has been official
ly confirmed by Americas own repre-
sentatives there; and
Third-That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
avowed champion Of "self determine
tion." American soldiers having been
told 1t was one of the things they
we're fighting and dying for.

BArrLEsHIps AS TARGETS

IL doesn't take long for the newest of our warships to become old, obsolete and be headed for the junk heap. Changes are steadily being made in vsrship construction the same as in the building of all kinds of vessels and war ships are useful and worth maintaining only when they can stand the strain that would be put upon them in action and compare with the equipment of oth- CTS. Warships are highly developed pieces of machinery which must be ef- ficient to be effective and when they get to the point where that efficiency which they are supposed to possess has gone they are not kept like old Dobbin for the good service they have rendered, out junked or used as targets.
 Just at present the Indiana which was built in 1885 and reftted ten years ater is being used as target for aerial bombs. It is desirable to know just what can be depended upon in such op- srations and just what effect can be gained from such missiles. With the In- iiana underway the very conditions that would be provided under such an at- tack, barring the resistance, is furnish sd Steering the hattleship by electric Ky from another ship important facts should be learned regarding such meth sds of attack in case there Is ever any reason to employ them against an enc. my ship. Likewise the important les. sons of how to give the greatest pro- lection to a ship experiencing such ar attack can be learned.
 At the same time the sister ship Iowa ls being made the target of gunners tc determine the efficiency of the gun crew. ,nd the effectiveness Of the proisctiles it seems like costly tsrgets to utilize ships that cost three millions and ovei each but there is a vast difference be tween what the ships cost new and wha they would bring for junk today. whut information Is being secured which couit not be as cheaply and az accurately ac quired in any other way.

ging many things have transpired, frightful conditions have been created and developed in Russia and based upon have been those who insisted that the present government there could not long survive. Nevertheless it is there today and even though now is one of the times when tho outlook is dubious past devel- opments make it difficult to judge when the final crash is coming for the soviet government.
 That ahe situation Is not getting more favorable, except from the standpoint of
 having eliminated one powerful oppo
 nent through the armistice with Poland,
 is indicated by the several revolts which have broken out at different points,
 showing that those who have been dis counted on previous occasions have not been converted The real strong oppo- sition just now comes from General
 Wrangel, who is getting the support not
 only of certain leaders at other impor- tant points but of some of the bolshevik generals who are turning to his side. An understanding was reached with Poland after the bolsheviki had been
 severely trounced and while greater re- mated there was the chance to concen- trate against Wrangel, but with the plea to Wrangel that there be peace between them stronger indications than ever are given that the sovets are in distress 1 Apparently the outlook doesn't impress the bolsheviki leaders favorably

HARpING,s LEAGUE VIEWS.

IL doesn't make any difference wheth- CT 1t is Governor Cox who is talking or some of his supporters there is a deter mined effort to confuse the minds of the people as to the stand of the respective candidates on the league of nations President Wilson has declared that he and Governor Cox are in full accord. The democratic candidate has declared that Wilson isn't running for office but he has not denied the presidents state nlent. The president stands so firmly for the treaty as he brought it from Europe that he has no suggestion for any reservations. while his stand on the reservations that were proposed and approved by majority of the sen ate prevented the ratification and thus scrzpped the league
 Being in accord with the president and being for going into the league Gov ernor Cox stands before the people as the one shouldering the Wilson policies regarding the league At least he hasn't repudiated such. But in the meantime the democratic supporters and press continue to proclaim that Senator Hard ing Is not for any league. Their proof lies in assertions which the republican candidate has made regarding certain features of the league but not regarding a league in a safe form or an under standing among nations for the proven ton of war.
 Senator Harding Is for a league of nations which will not wreck the Con. stitutlon of the United States He is definitely against Article ten of the VII son league and in fact any of the fea lures of that league which are detrimen tai to the interests of this country anC likely to involve us in more difficulties In Europe. As for being for or agains the Wilson league he is against it, bu he is not against a league with the flea lures which make it dangerous eliminat ed. There Is a marked distinction be tween such a stand and being agains the Wilson league or any other league association or understanding.

T merely substituted some kinds of foods for oth- CTS, as I told you. was getting too fat, anyway, and so were you, for the mat ter of that And too much meat and sugar is bad for any one. So I just cut down our meat supply and fed us op meat substitutes and milk and leafy veg etables, which provide iron and vitamies and"

THE GROWING CHILD

MUMPs.
 If your child complains of pain below the ear, which is increased by movements of the jaw by pressure, and sometimes by taking acid substance in the mouth, you may look for the swollen gland which will indicate that you have a case of humps in the family
 This gland (theparotid) lies in such position that when it is swollen in humps the lobe of the ear is about in the cen ter of the swelling. The gland swells rap idly, and usually both sides are involved.
 In mild cases, these, together with slight fever, are the only symptoms. In more severe cases, there may be head aches. vomiting, loss of appetite. and pains in the back and limbs. Severe at tacks are seldom seen in children under twelve and most of the complications are seen after that age
 Children are much less susceptible to humps than to other contagious diseas- es. and many of those exposed do not contract the disease.
 The infection is communicated by the patient and by articles freshly soiled by discharges from the throat and nose. The time that elapses between exposure and the onset of the disease is usually about IS days but it may be any Where from 
 has suffered an attack of humps should be kept from other children until he swelling has entirely subsided. In spite of tlie usual mildness of the disease no carelessness in the matter of quarantine should be allowed, because SC 1 rious symptoms and complications dc i sometimes arise. Permanent deafnes: may result from humps, and in rare in stances the kidneys, nervous system, ol heart may be involved.
 The relation between the parotids ant l tthe sexual glands 'is not clearly under stood. but that there is some relation seems to be indicated by the occasiona 1 involvement of the latter during an al tack of humps. In adolescent boys thi involvement may result in sterility.
 In view of the possible occurrence 0 these serious consequences, children wit humps should be kept away from thos who are not known to be immune.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Reply to A Citizen.

Mir Editor: In your edition of Oct. IA A Citizen seems to be much worried in thought about our good old constitution and it's new interpretation. He should be. The constitution is as it always was, and it's interpretations should be the same as always.
 The new rulings are not the result of any new, vivid or radical ideas of MT. Boardman, but those of Mayor Lerou MT Boardman only took privileges taken under the same laws our fathers and forefathers lived and operated under.
 The mayor of our city is the person who takes upon himself the right and self assumed wisdom to frame and order laws to be enforced contrary to the custom of our city, state and nation since their foundings.
 A Citizen speaks of some very good people, feeling as if political persecution had taken place in our city. If so, many of ''the common people" and 'the general public" have the same feeling, so the disease is spreading among other classes he has not come in contact with, with many others to be heard from
 Having heard MT. Boardman's side of the story think he. too, was somewhat persecuted, as he was ordered to speak
 on Bath street, Ferry street, Chelsea bank steps, at different times, and took his orders calmly until ordered off the earth.
 A Citizen is right when he says the constitution needs no critical interpreta- ton. All we want is the good old time worn, time-tested rendering. New inter pretations of constitutional or Biblical text have always resulted in new parties and cults. and while we all hope that our city may some time in the near future produce a solon that will make the eyes l of the world stare at us, I think the present would-be reviser of the customs 1 of our nation will hardly be the beacon l light toward which all wise men will steer that $, if expressions of some of | the most popular and prominently politi- cal people of our city is any forecasting | signal.
 He also says neither Tom. Dick nor
 Harry should tamper with the wise pro-
 visions designed by our fathers. He is | certainly right, but neither should Her | bert M. Lerou.
 Regarding his statements about city ordinances: Those and the orders of any 1 local demi-god that may conflict with the constitution Of the United States or our state charter and 9aws are worthless and should not be obeyed and the person de- flying them should be credited with his act.
 The whole matter has dwindled to oul ; question: Shall the orders of the mayor and his orders to his subjects, be obeyed right or wrong? Answer: No. when they are wrong.
 Mrs. Evans was arrested and bailed ou of jail for the night when she started tt = speak to large audience assembled oi = Ferry street, the sidewalks in front o g and opposite to Ferry street. She wa
