VI IbcpfcSCuldlfSo
In a speech which was given very
close attention and was frequently APP
plauded.
"At one Time" said Commissioner
Gabaldon, Congress had before 1t no
less than thirty resolutions expressing
sympathy with the aspirations of the
Irish people, If not actually urging Eng
land to grant independence to Ireland.
At that time, also the Filipinos were
knocking at your door. Out of the
womb Of war, many European repub-
lies were born, and America has re-
joiced to uphold the same. And yet
the claim OF the Flliplnos is still un-
needed. Must there be exceptions,
then, in international Justice?
my, plea, gentlemen of the Ameri-
can Congress, is that you ignore no
longer the repeated requests of de-
serving people for an independence
that rightfully belongs to them. The
granting Of independence now affords
the United States golden opportunity
to give to the world unanswerable
proof of its sincerity, Its consistency
and its altruism. 1t will be the great
est example of square dealing in the
history Of the ages.
"Do not think we are not appre-
ciative of all you have done for us.
We are. America has truly treated
the Filipino people as no other nation
has ever treated an alien race in all
history. The high points of the Amer
lean policy In the Philippines have
been consistently inspired by altruism.
We know that you were aetuated in
your labors by the desire to contrib
| ute to our own welfare.
"And We love you perhaps most of
all for your solemn promise to grant
\ us that which we hold dearer than life
itself-our freedom. Independence Is
our national ideal. 1t Is our all abb
sorbing aim. 1t grows stronger every
hour. For the spirit of nationalism
never dies. Much less can 1t be sub
dued. We believe that we can never
hope to be a sturdy nation If we are
to rely forever on the magnanimity Of
the United States.
Americas task In the Philippine
Islands is finished. What you have as
sumed as your sacred obligation In
that part of the world has been full
filed. A people with a medieval sys'
TEN Of institutions has been trans
formed into conscious nation, i'm
bued with all that iS modern in the
activities Of nations. And If you give
us independence our gratitude to you
will increase thousand fold: 1t will
last forever II you keep faith with us
"There is but one issue in the Phil
ippine question, and that is: Is there
today a stable government on the Is
lands? In the Jones law you promised
independence upon the establishment
of such stable government. You
own Governor-General has officially
reported that there Is stable gov
eminent in existence today, and We
also. have submitted plenty of evidence
to substantiate Its existence. There
fore, we hope and expect America vii
now carry out its pledge"

THE HOME TOWN PAPER

The magazine from here and there
That's full of snappy tales,
The city news with fragrant yarns
Of men who fill our pals,
With headlines bold, sensational,
Of some new hold-up eaper--
Each has its place, but first of all
Give me the Home Town Paper.
To me it means whole lot more
Than just the weekly news,
Or comments on the nations plight,
Or editorial views
The joys and sorrows of the folks
| know and love are there,
The folks who know and love me,
Whose experiences | share.
The calling home of some dear friend,
y Or where the stork has BEEN
The doings of the people
| am interested in,
These are the things which build for
My little world each day;
Cause folks at home mean more to me
Than facts from far away.
| read with pride of some home boy
| Who's out to make his name Az
And now is climbing step by step
The stairs that lead to fame.
| 1t pleases me to read about
Improvements that are made
And how each merchant does his best
To build up local trade.
The magazines can tell us
All about the Isle of zap,
But our home paper strives to keep
Our village on the map;
So when the worthwhile things of life
Are being handed out,
The Home Town Paper first of all
| want to have about

A HOME COURSE

"Twenty Lessons in Domestic
Science" by Marion Cole Fisher has
recently been received by us for re-
view.
This is complete advance course in
domestic science and home economics
boiled down to meet the requirements
of the housewife and the student.
The entire course consists of TWEEN
ty practical lessons-one hundred
pages filled with the most valuable
information the housewife can possess
heretofore taught only in domestic
science schools.
Do you know the relative value of
food, which fruits to use for cooking,
what purpose salads serve, the cor
rect use of condiments, about proper
kitchen equipments, about U. S. Gov
ernment's bulletins, how to reduce the
high cost of living, how to promote
and protect your own and your fam
ily's health, how to make housekeep-
ing simpler and more economical and
pleasant by utilizing modern science
in the home.
This book, we note, is priced at
$500 per copy and from what we I'M
derstand it contains a complete 500
college course, condensed, and it is
practically FREE to every interested
housewife.

SHUT OFF THE WHISTLE

The chief trouble with most of us
in this country is that we are sitting
around waiting for prosperity to "be-
GIN"
Samuel M. Vawclain, president Of
the Baldwin, Locomotive Co., says, IL
am afraid of the establishment of the
debating socisty as business institu-
ton. Too much advising results in
finding the various ways that things
cannot be DONE"
Golfers says: prosperity will not
be started by statesmen on the road
who lose their own nerve to silly ri-
NOR, and travel on through the coun-
try leaving behind them wake of
gloom, depression and lost confidence.
National prosperity is but the sum
total of lot of little individual pros
perities. AS individuals we have
weathcred deflation without one of our
old-time American panics. But we
have not yet realized, as individuals,
that we will have to think prosperity
and work for prosperity if we want
prosperity"
If we want prosperity we cannot be
like Abraham Lincoln's ''little trifling
steamboat that use to go putting about
on the Sangamon river, with seven
foot whistle on a five-foot boiler, SC
that every time the whistle blew the
boat stopped"

THE WHEAT FARMER

A farmer had a little wheat,
The grain was good and sound,
And every time he sold load
He saw the price come down.
He paid to have it bound and threshed
He paid the men full time,
But every time he sold some wheat ?
The price had dropped dime.
He fed his men, he filled them up,
He paid them double price,
But every time he sold some wheat
They cut him down slice.
Expenses high and income low,
He worked and sweat like thunder,
And every time he sold some wheat
The price was cut asunder.
The banker got his horse and mule,
The landlord got his COW,
The taxes got his hens and geese,
The merchant got his SOW.
Now he's mad and hungry,
Wears pants without seat,
He still owes many, many debts
For the gamblers got his wheat.

slayer, the apparition stopped coming.
At the end of the play, when love
had been restored and the young
couple were happy, the old man falls
asleep in the garden in the moon
light, the apparition appears again,
trips in at the garden gate as of old
and greets him by the hand. AS he
asks her when he is to join her, she
points 10 the chair where he had
gone to sleep. and there the audience
Observes for the first time the figure
still reclining where they saw him
sit down, and realizes that he is dead
and his spirit has joined hers in the
soft moonlight
who is afraid to die?" he asks,
and the curtain slowly falls to the OBJ
seryation that many would gladly
await the end did they but know the
Joys that are to come after life.
The end flutters in quietly and
softly, ike the snowflakes, with a
sweetly reverential awe. There is
something akin to Maeterlinck's
blue Bird" and the "Never Never
Land" in the tone of the play, some
thing decidedly purifying about it.
Miss Cowl assumed the role of the
slain bride and her apparition, as
we'll as that Of the young Irish las
sic, and was daintily beautiful. Her
gowns were combinations of grace
and beauty.
1t would not be fair to the remain
der of the caste not to say that the
company was perfectly balanced. 1t
was not a large caste, but the parts
were all splendidly taken, something
that can not be said for most of the
companies appearing this season,
thanks to high travelling rates. The
settings were elaborate and beautiful
and the lighting effects splendid.
The presentation of such per-
Torrance in any community would be
of distinct value as an inspirational
piece of genuine art. 1t is hoped
Americas may soon again have the
pleasure of visit from Miss. Cowl
and her company. w. S. K.

MISSCOWL AND
PLAY SPLENDID
'!Smilin' Through Thoroughly
Delightful Presentstion-A
Charmingly Sweet Play

"The best thing I have ever seen
on the stage"
This tribute 10 Jane Cowl and her
company's presentation of 'Smilin'
Through" at the Rylsnder theater
last night summarized fairly well the
estimation of the audience at the fail
of the final curtain. Expecting much
from a star of whom most Of them
had read great things but whom few
had seen, not one was disappointed.
The production was perfect in every
detail, the spirit Of the play delight
full, and the acting splendid.
In this play Miss Cowl has . part
unlike those which made her famous,
or rather, those which she has made
famous. She is a great emotional
actress and has tear-bringing rec
ord equalled by few. But in this she
has a glad play, the gladness ace IN
tuated by here and there a suggestion
of a tear, and an opportunity on
one or two brief occasions for her
to show her emotional ability. Miss
Cowl measures up to the new part
charmingly. In "Smilin' Through"
she portrays the part of an Irish or
phan lassie, just grown up. She adj
heres to the Irish dialect throughout,
and gives the part a vivacity that
carries it through buoyantly to the
end.
The plot of the play is simple and
uninvolved. 1t revolves about the
love of a betrothed couple and the
murder of the bride on her wedding
night by rejected sutton. This hap
pened fifty years before the time Of
the opening of the story. Miss Cow
appeared as the niece of the slair
bride, living as the ward and com
, panion of the man who with the sor
of the man who slew the bride, but
the bitterness for the father in The
heart of the now aged bridegroom
forbids their seeing each other. The
lad goes to war and comes home
wounded. He tries to make the CIR
dislike him in order that she might
not insist on sacrificing her life or
| helpless man. 1t all ends well with
happiness all around.
A novelty and rather a bold con
ception is the introduction of appari
tons in the play. The production
/ opens with a prologue, dialogue be.
tween the dead mothers of the CIR,
and the boy in the story, looking
down from their ETHEREAL abode and
regretting the hatred that was keep
ing them apart. One scene takes the
audience back fifty years and enacts
the killing, and later the slain bride
appears as an apparition in the moon
light to comfort the one she wal
forced to leave. After years of these
frequent visits, when the hatred il
the heart grew against the son of tn
