Horton McCallie, of Kamiah, who
last year won both the 220 and

while working out. MeCallie will

climate. Both men are going

Congressman King is one sof an in

House who are urging quick action
on Philippine independence. Mr..
King is the author of bill which pro-
vides that within one year the Philip

proclamation, may assemble a conven-

After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine islands as "a

The transfer of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American in
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
submarine bases in the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early Independence
and will be sorely disappointed if they
do not get it.

gresham King ito hold another people
In peonage, even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the

"A little more observance of the

of freedom in the world today.
when we went to the Philippines
we declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self

Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, which he said was in
directly a tribute to the American peo-
pie as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President Mckinley, which was as
follows:

pinos) are superior in intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives OF Cuba, and l am familiar
