LEONARD WOOD

No gilded dome swells from
the lowly roof to catch the
morning or evening beam; but
the love and gratitude of united
America settle upon it in one
eternal sunshine. From beneath
that humble roof went forth the
intrepid and unselfish warrior,
the magistrate who knew no
glory but his country's goodj to
that he returned, happiest when
his work was done. There he
lived in noble simplicity, there
he died in glory and peace.
While it stands the latest gen.
erations of the grateful people
of America will make this pill
grimage today as to a shrine;
and when il shall fall, If fall it
must, the memory and the name
of Washington will shed an
eternal glory on the spot.-Ed-
ward Everett: Grafton on the
Character of Washington.

THIS address stands out as one of
the finest portrayals of the grand
YET simple character of George Wash.
ington, First OF His Country.
Everett calls Washington intrepid.
So he was. He calls him unselish.
So he was. Patriotism always Is I'M
selfish. When thought of self advance
ment at the expense of ones coun-
try enters into a mans breast he no
longer is a patriot. Washington sub
ordlnated everything pertaining to
himself to his country's good He
gave lesson TO posterity that well
might be the better learned by some
Of us today.
The first president has been exalted
by Americans but he never exalted him
self His Americanism was that Of
devotion to country and a willingness
TO carry his devotion TO the end Of
death If death should come.
The story Of Washington should he

Americanization. II is an appealing

rior which brought 10 him the admira-
ton and affection Of the American peo-
pie. as IT was the noble simplicity Of

manner Of life.

The Philippine government is encour-
aging the immigration of Filipinos
from the thickly populated sections in
to Mindaneo. This is the second larg-
est Il the Islands of the archipelago.
II is still sparsely settled although
1t is one of the richest and most pro-
dpctive Islands In the world. Many
Americans have established planta-
lions there and become rich.
Filipinos are using the stories of the
many successful Filipino homesteaders
as an argument for independence. They
make the point that people that can
go out into a tropical wilderness with
no capital save their patience, perse-
verence and energy and win homes IT
themselves, have the necessary stamina
to run their own affairs.

MIR. Mellon Says Funding and

Loans Should Be Managed
at Once as it is Impossible to
Make Any Schedule of Pay

Washington, Oct. 6.-Secretary
Mellon in urging legislation for fund
ing and refunding allied war loans
told the ways and means committee
it was utterly impossible to make
any schedule of payment because OF
conditions in each of the creditor ma
tions.
THE loans should be refunded and
and funded at the earliest time poss-
ible to straighten out the treasury"
said Mr.. Mellon. There Is no au-
thority to accept bonds OF other cur
rency than our own In payment OF
the debts. In certain Instances in ar
ranging payment we have to consider
Indebtedness of one allied nation or
the other. In other words we have
to work with other nations in max
ing settlement"
In replying to questions the secre-
tary said the big nations including
France and Italy were better bale to
pay than smaller nations. 4
There has been no thought Of the
general subject of nations as debtors
but only a shifting of the character
, of securities. 1t is our intention to
SO fund the debts as to guarantee OF
assure payment of interest until ma
