District Superintendent
Delivers Good Sermon

Regardless of the snow storm
Sunday evening, fairsized audi.
ence heard the interesting serm on
by DR.. G.. M. Henderson, district
perintendent.
His thought was centered on the
story of Satan taking Christ upon
the mountain and offering him
everything in worldly goods, if
Christ but would bow down and
worship him. His sermon was in
terspersed with enough wit and
humor to make it "spicy." In
fact the fellow who went to church
expecting to sleep had hard time
of it. Dr. Henderson is a man of
wonderful personality, and he had
way of delivering his message
that was intensely interesting.
The choir furnished a splendid
anthem, but on account of the

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
ernment, and the great mass of the
people of the United States, is to con-
slider the Philippine question from the
unsehsh viewpoint of what is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-f1ve
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
uatlon is that the opponents of inde-
pendence, In order to convince the peo-
pie of the United States that the Fill
plnos should not be granted their in
dependence, find 1t necessary to libel
an entire race To tell a sensitive
Christian people that they shall not

cduse tHey uie bOl Ii ioA ~ "Aii IL
the end prove 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-
sentations 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
,nly 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 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, better feeling developed. This
'better feeling" has now grown into
q 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
superintended the implanting in the
Philippines of one of the finest edu-
cational systems in the world; nor to
the building Of high class roads

vINDlcATEs FORMER POLL.
Overwhelming Veto Like That Of Year
Before From Both Sides Of
Political Fence.

Washington.-Inner circles of both
political parties here are greatly In
terested in the results of a national
poll on the question of government
operation among over 5000 newspa-
per editors throughout the country.
With S6 per cent of these editors, re-
gardless of political faith, giving II as
their impartial opinion that the public
Is more than ever opposed to the gov
ernment going into business In COM
petition with its citizens, observers
here see little chance that either po-
litical party will find it a profitable
campaign issue.
lii the opinion of party leaders this
sort Of a canvass among newspaper
editors is the best possible index of
public opinion. They recall similar
QUESTIONABLE sent out a year ago in
connection with the proposition that
the government take over the rail-
roads permanently. Replies at that
time from approximately the same
number of editors showed SO per cent
against the principle of government
operation. They recall also that with.
in ten days from publication of the
result of the former QUESTIONABLE the
sentiment for return of the railroads
to their owners had definitely crys-
tallized.
Comparison of present results in de-
tail with those Of year ago con-
vinces the political student not only
that these editors have been accurats
in their Judgment, but that party con.
siderations played no part in form
ing 1t. From Democratic and sup
posedly radical Texas, for example
the present QUESTIONABLE brought re
plies from editors of 244 papers, only
three of which are Republican. Yet
the percentage against government
ojeration was 90, which is exactly thu
same as that given by 200 EDITOR
from Republican Michigan, among
whom were representatives Of only
three Democratic papers. Other
states that pair percentages signifi
cantly are Massachusetts, and Nevada
with 100; Connecticut and South Caro-
lima. with 81; Maine and West vir
ginia, with 90; Kentucky and New
York, with 91; Missouri and Pennsyl
vania, y fth 80; Ohio. and Oklahoma
with 81.

Declares Filipinos All
Want independence
Former Illinois Congressman Back From Philippines
Gives Interesting Views Island Affairs.


principally to the fact that in the
Jones law America gave the Filipinos
her word of honor that as soon as
stable government could be establish
ed we would withdraw our sovereignty
from the Philippine Islands.
1t might, at first thought, seem
strange that in their sincere appre-
citation of all that we have done for
them the Filipino people should place
most emphasis on the promise to grant
them their independence. For 1t can
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
the Filipino people better than any
nation ever treated dependent alien
people in all the days since the curtain
rose on the dawn of civilization. If
we do not spoil it, it is record that
we can be proud of.
But it really isn't so strange that
the Filipino should love us more for
our promise to give them sovereignty
over themselves than for our other
good works, for which, after all, out
side of army and navy expenditures
the Filipinos have been taxed, and
properly so, for every cent of the cost.
If we but reverse the situation, and
place ourselves in the shoes of the
Filipinos, which cannot be said to be
an unfair way of getting at the other
fellows viewpoint, we shall see that
it is not strange.
Suppose that Great Britain or any
other power that you can think of Dy re-
ferring to your geography or history,
should impose its sovereignty upon us
against our will and then give US an
infinitely better government than we
now enjoy7 Could any such foreign
power ever succeed in convincing us
that 1t had our welfare more at heart
than we have ourselves.
But to return to my story, the Fill
pinos heartily thanked us for the
Jones law, considering 1t sort of a
covenant between the Filipino and
American peoples, and Immediately
applied themselves to the task Of set
ting up the prescribed stable govern
ment. And they set 1t up. 1t Is In
the Philippines now. Americas own
representative In the Islands, the gov
ernor general. officially reports 1t Is
there, and recommends that since the
Filpinos have earnestly fulfilled their
part of the agreement, America should
be as prompt in carrying out its part
of the contract.
SO that in a few words, 1t is not
the Philippines that now are on trial,
but the United States.
There is but one answer. America
will carry out Its agreement. And
since we are going to do 1t, we cannot
afford to bubble and split hairs and
hesitate until our tardiness robs us
of half the glory of our achievement.
Let us act with promptness and will
ingness really worthy of America.
And when the people of the United
States set up the Philippine Republic
as the first Christian democracy of
the Far East, they will be building a
monument to themselves that will
stand throughout eternity. On that
day the beacon light of hope, humanity
and justice will flash around the world.
Such an example by America will ae-
compish more for the weak and strug-
Cling peoples of the earth than the
four year world war. with all its cost
in life and treasure.
