A special delegation of FiIlpinos, Of.
fcially representing the Filipino PEG.
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
asffollows: ts
FlrSt.-T'hat the American Declara-
ton Of Independence declares that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed;
SecOnd.-That the American Con-
gregs, In the Jones law, sOlemnly prom
Used the Flliplnos independence upon
the establishment of a stable govern
ment, and that their claim that the
said stable government is now In ox-
istence In the islands has been OfAcial-
~ confirmed by Americas own repre-
sentatives there; and
Third.-That America went before
the world in the recent war as the
REOwed champion of "seIf determine
tiOn," American soldiers having been
told It was one of the things they
we're hghting and dying for.

BY WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory YET
won in this Democratic convention wal
scored by a young Filipino by the name
Of Jose p. MeenciO. 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. G.
He Is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace. using the best
language and without a trace of en-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the ,Fillpinos 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 az
much logic and precision as II he had
taken weeks TO prepare his answer. It
was remarkable triumph.
AS one who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise of indie
pendence I was proud Of this Illustra-
ton of what the Filipino IL capable

DODSON WOULD
STOP SALE
OF CALOMEL
Says Calomel is Mercury and Acts
Like Dynamite on Your
Liver.

Dodson is making hard fight
against calomel in the south. Every
druggist has noticed a great falling
off in the sale of calomel. They all
give the same reason, Dodson's Liver
Tone is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist. A large bottle costs but few
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have on
ly to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleas
ant-tasting, purely vegetable RENE
dy, harmless to both children and
adults. Take a spoonful at night
and wake up feeling fine; no bilious
ness, sick headaihe, acid stomach or
constipated bowels. It doesn't
grippe or cause inconvenience all the
next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of caleml today and tomor-
row you will feel weak, sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days work.
Take DOdson's Liver Tone instead
and feel fine, full of vigor and am
bitious.-Adv. gu

The Filipinos declare they have no
igrudge or grievance against the Amer
lean people. Their appeal is accom-
panied by message of friendship and
gratitude for all that America has done
for them. They point out that Uncle
Sam gave independence to Cuba, and
they hope that they, too, will receive
that boon without which, they declare,
no civilized and patriotic people can
enjoy the maximum Of happiness and
self-respect.

OPPOSE TOWNER BILL
K. OF c. ON RECORD AGAINST
GENERALIZATION OF EDU-
CATION.

The recent K of c. Convention de-
clared: We make no attempt at pass
ing judgment on the motives back of
this measure (Smith-Towner BID
We merely say that whenever the
Federal government undertakes to
control and direct the education of the
young, it becomes despotic. 1t usurps
the function of the parent, and it de-
prives the state of it's constitutional
prerogatives in the premises. We
recommend the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:
"The Supreme Council of the
Knights of Columbus, in annual ses-
sion assembled, hereby protest against
the enactment of the Smith-Towner
bill as being both in substance and in
form subversive of the right Of the
several states to direct, support and
control, each it's own system of edu-
cation, as a bureaucratic policy di-
rectly in conflict with American prin-
ciples and precedents and obstruc-
tive to the normal development of
real education in a democracy"
