Congressman Ed ward J. King
 of Illinois.

bound 10 grant yin dependence without further delay.
 Congressman King is one of an in- creasing number of Republicans in the House who are urging quick action on Philippine independence. Mir. King is the author of a bill which pro vides that within one year the Philip pine government, under presidential proclamation, may assemble a conven- tiOn and frame a constitution.
 After the constitution is ratified by the Filipino people the President may recognize the Philippine islands as "a separate and self-governing nation" 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.
 "No nation has the right" said Con- gresSman King ito hold another people in peonage, even though it may be argued by the professoriate that the condition is simply one of 'tutelage.'
 "A little more observance of the golden rule in national and interna- tional affairs would soon dispel that desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe 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 ish desire of conquest or territorial aggrandizement, but solely by humani- tarian impulses"
 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:
 "In. my opinion these people (Fili- pinos) are superior in intelligence and more capable of self government than the natives of Cuba, and am familiar with both"
 Congressman King then recited the preamble to the Jones law, passed August %, 1916 and declared it was a definite pledge of independence. The preamble stated it is as it has always been the purpose of the people of the United States to withdraw their sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and to recognize their independence as soon as a stable government can be established therein"
 Congressman King stated there was no question but that the Filipinos had established the specified stable gov ernment and, therefore, it is the solemn duty of the United States to grant the promised independence.

PREHISTORIC PUEBLOS OF
 SOUTHERN DESERT

An archaeological triumph, it is said, has been accomplished by c. s. Sarle, professor of geology of the Univers- ity of Arizona, who has located and surveyed thirty-six sites of prehis- toric villages in the vicinity of Tue son. Through the efforts of Professor Sarle new prehistoric culture has been brought to the notice of scien- lists, it is stated by Robert F. Glider, Sc. D., archaelogist, University of Ne braska, who has spent much time in Tucson Investigating the discoveries of Professor Sarle.
 While Arizona has long been rec Ognized by archaelogists as one of the richest states in the yielding of pre- historic treasures, almost all of the prehistoric research by various insti- tutions in this state has been done north of a line drawn east and west through Phoenix, which comprised chiefly explorations of cliff dwellings and adjacent pueblos, according to Professor Glider.
 The desert region, the present habi- tat of Pima and Papago Indians, had been overlooked, mainly because lit tie of archaeological interest had been discovered there. To Professor Sarle belongs the credit for proving the southern Arizona desert, especially that section lying about Tucson, rich CT in the remains of prehistoric tribes than any other section of the entire state.

Philippine Resident
 Commissioner isauro Gabaldon

in speech which was given yer, close attention and was frequently ap- Dlauded.
 At one time," said Commissioner Gabaldon, Congress had before it 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 al 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 Fflipinos 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 a de- serving people for an independence that rightfully belongs to them. The granting of independence now affords the United States a golden opportunity to give to the world unanswerable proof of it's sincerity, it's consistency and its altruism. It 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 ican policy in the Philippines have been consistently inspired by altruism We know that you were actuated 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. It is our all ab- sorbing aim. It grows stronger every hour. For the spirit of natiOnalism never dies. Much less can it be sub dued. We believe that we can never hope to be sturdy nation if we are to rely forever on the magnanimity of the United States.
 "America's 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 filled. A people with a medieval sys- tenn of institutions has been trans formed into a conscious nation, inn bued with all that is modern in tie activities of nations. And if you give us independence our gratitude to you will increase a thousand fold; it will last forever if 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. Your own GOvernOr-General has officially reported that there is a stable gov ernment in existence today, and we also have submitted plenty of evidence to substantiate its existence. There fore, we hope and expect America will now carry out it's pledge"

The Filipino has been much misrep- resented in the United States. This is largely because the Sunday supple ments have made a speciality of DOT traying the semi-naked non-Christian hill tribes as "typicaP' Filipinos, which is far from the truth.
 The total population of the Philip pines is 1O,35O,64O, of which 9,495,272 are Christians and civilized, and have been so for 300 years, possessing cul- ture and refinement that will compare favorabIy with that of other countries. The number of nCn-Christians is S55,-

 Seventy per cent of the inhabitants of the Philippines over tent years of age, according to the last census, are literate. This is a higher percentage of literacy than that of any South American country, higher than that of Spain, and higher than that of any of the New Republics of Europe whose independence is being guaranteed by the Allies.

TO Send 1000 Men
Federal authorities are preparing
on large scale to take the next
step, If It became necessary. In
stead Of sending 1000 men, as Gov
ernor Morgan asked in his telegram
to Secretary Weeks OF August %,
the War Department is prepared to
send double that number into the
field and to cover thoroughly every
point at which there may be danger
Of outbreaks and lawlessness. If
the Federal power must be exerted
in the State, it is proposed to exert
it in a manner that will bring I'M
mediate results.
1t is doubtful, however. whether
formal proclamation Of martial
law will be issued, even II troops
are sent into the State. General Har-
bord said that Federal martial law
had seldom been declared since
reconstruction times and is not nee
essary in connection with use Of
Federal troops When martial law
is declared,a II the civil functions
are submerged, except as the mill
tary may make exceptions, and the
Administration evidently wants to
do as little as may be in ASSUMING
the powers and responsibilities of
the government of West Virginia.

word that West Virginia is rushing

WILL RUSH 1000 REGULARS
INTO WEST VA. COAL FIELD
UNLESS "ARMY" DISBANDS

Washington, Aug. 31.-The decis-
ion OF the president to issue the
proclamation calling on armed
bands of West Virginia miners to
dispense, was reached reluctantly
after he had spent several hours in
conference on conditions in the coal
fields. Early Tuesday a delegation
of West Virginians called at the
War Department and saw Secretary
Weeks, and later went with the
secretary to the White House.
Delegation Urges Action
United States Senator Sutherland
and former Governor w. A. McCor-
hlo headed the group that saw the
President. They emphatically urged
the necessity of immediate Federal
action, telling the President and
Secretary Weeks that it was no
longer a subject of debate as to
whether West Virginia had done all
she could to maintain order; it was
a question whether the Federal au-
thorities would lend their aid or
would permit the uprising to extend
10 extremely serious proportions.
Secretary Weeks spent about two
hours with the President going over
the matter. The President also talk
ed with army officers. Issuance Of
the proclamation was delayed until
the afternoon in order to obtain lat
er adyices from West Virginia.
There still was some hope that i'm
provement in the situation would be
reported. But shortly before the
proclamation was made public by
Major-General Harbord, Deputy
Chief Of Staff, the West Virginia
authorities telephoned that condi-
lions were very grave and again
urged prompt Federal intervention.
