directed heavenward upon the way

Where 1t Came From.

Dear Mr.. Ake-I have felt ever
since the election, that the seven
million sssolemn referendum" of
which some of our friends CD too
frequently remind US did not come
from 100 per cent American voters,
but l did not expect, 20 soon, to get
absolute proof of its source. Now
comes George Sylvester Viereck of
New York, Editor of the American
Monthly, gh-Cock-a.lorem, and
Custodian of the German American
vote, who declares that he, as per
contract, delivered to Harding six
million German American votes, and
now demands, as a part of the pre-
election agreement, a representative
in Mr.. Harding's cabinet of German
American interests.
Following on the heels of this comes
one Pat Murphy, he, too, from the
provincial berg of Manhattan, who
asserts with 40 less energy, that he
turned into the Harding column two
million Irish votes, presumably of
the Sim Fem brand, since he is Sim
Fender of the radical type.
So let our friends who are wont to
nag us about Mr.. Wilson getting "his
solemn referendum" consider where
it came from before they boast of it.

contact with all classes Of the people.
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
eminent, and the great mass OF the
people Of the United States, is to con-
slider the Philippine question from the
unselfsh viewpoint Of what Is best
for the Filipino people Ninety-fve
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
uation is that the opponents Of indie
p~endence, in order to convince the peo-
pie Of the United States that the Fill
pinos 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
have their promised independence be-
cause they are not fit for 1t will in
the end prove a 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-
sensations 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
only 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, a better feeling developed. This
'better feeling has new grown into
a very strong bond Of sympathy and
affection. a-
The happy attitude Of the Filipino
people toward America is due not prin.
, cipally to the fact that Americans
have shown the F1lipinos how to make
their country a better place to live in
not principally to the fact we have
superintendent the implanting in the
Philippines Of n Of the finest edu'
c%ational systems In the world nor t.
the building Of high class roads
bridges and public works-but Is due

THE W. @. T. U. columns are parad-
ing fgnres showing the great de-
crease in offenses of minor descrip-
ton. 1t may be SO. I to a great ex-
tent distrust their sources of informa-
ton, knowing how deft the mind is in
making things fit the desire. One
thing however, every reader of the
daily papers has impressed upon his
understanding: the recent great in
crease in crime serious and deadly.
My prohibition friends used to lay
robbery, murder and outrage at the
door of the Demon Rum; but now he
can prove an abb. II we were to
follow the Prohibitionist's method to
its limit, we could obliterate all
crime and wrong doing: gag, blind
fold, bind and deafen everybody.
Then humanity would have peace,
but would we be worth blowing into
kingdom come?

Pitcher Lead Company Abandons Schultz
Mine.

tFredericktown Democrat-News.)
After drilling six holes on the land
of the Schultz Mining Co., the Pitcher
Lead Company has had the drills pull
ed and shipped away, and the general
understanding is that the option on
the Schultz land and several hundred
acres adjoining has been surrendered.
The Pitcher people r primarily
interested in lead, 1t is understood,
and it is thought likely the drilling at
the Schultz property did not show
sufficient quantities of that mineral,
the ore running more to copper, CO.
bait and nickel. An additional reason
for abandoning the options here is
believed to be the fact that the Pitcher
company has secured control of the
new and very rich lead mines at An
napolis and prefers to devote it's en-
ergies to a property somewhat de-
veloped.
Different stories are in circulation
regarding the results obtained from
the, six drilled holes. Some say they
were very poor while others report
them very rich. Other ~narrstors tell
a story between those extremes.
At any rate, the Pitcher people
seem to be gone for good, and our
dreams of a great mine are shattered
for the time being, though tits under
stood that the Schultz interests already
have other companies interested in
the property.
Mr.. Ameling, who was doing the
drilling, will finish the contract on
other properties in the Lead Belt.

Congress, it's purpose being to over

d. pIluClRdklJ " bhS LAW 1890
Jones law America gave the Fiipinos
her word Of honor that as soon as q
stable government could be establish
ed we would withdraw our sovereignty
from the Philippine Islands.
It 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 it can
not be successfully denied that on the
whole the United States has treated
the Filipino people better than any
nation ever treated a dependent alien
people In all the days since the curtain
rose on the dawn Of civilization. II
we do not spoil 1t. 1t Is a record that
we can be proud Of.
But 1t 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 by re-
ferring to your geography or history,
should impose its sovereignty upon us
against u 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 a 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 it 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
Filipinos 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 it, we cannot
afford to bubble and split hairs and
hesitate until our hardness robs us
of half the glory Of our achievement.
Let US act with a 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 q
monument to themselves that will
stand throughout eternity. On that
day the beacon light of hope, humanity
and justice will fash around the world,
Such an example by America will &C.
complish 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.

Mount Mayor, in the province of Albay, Philippine Islands, is declared

The setting Of the volcano has much to do with its exquisite beauty as II

world A magnificent road, 10 miles In length, circles the mountain at its
base, passing through the most varying scenery. Mayor has a history as an
active volcano. It has destroyed whole towns. The most destructive erup
