They are urging their claims with shrewdness and vigor They declare that they have proven beyond question that they are capable of self-government, and they believe that with independence the Filipino will so conduct himself as to gaip the respect of the world.

Shall We Let Philippines Cor

Cedar Rapids (Ia) Republican,
 The United States cannot continue to hold the Philippines unless this na- tion wants to give the lie to its own professions in the matter. The United States must keep faith with the world. The American people do not want the Philippine Islands to become their Irish question.

Our Little Brown Cousins (Argus. Rock Island. Ill.)

There is no mistaking that Filipinos want their independence. And it ss just possible, as they insist, that they in the islands, better than We Ameri- cans over here, are the best judges of whether they are fitted for independ- ence. The United States wants no outburst in the Philippines as England faces in Ireland. The easiest way to head off a rebellion Is to give the

 where youngsters cannot be found who speak English. One-third of the house of representatives and eighteen of the twenty-four senators speak English. In the next election, in 1922, the young men of the new schools will be step- ping into control, and the first great goal of the public school system win have been reached"

Not a Homespun Nation Now

DETWEEN 1850 and 1915 the production of mems
ID clothes in this country increased 300 per cent in part
due the increase of population In the period the
production of womens clothes increased $500 per cent
Which doesn't prove that today wearing more
clothes than their grandmothers did; does it indicate
larger percentage of increase in female population than
male.
The figures have TO do with the industrial output of
clothes That explains it, Half century and more ago
women chiefly garments made at home. Then TOO

fore 1900 dawned women had passed in consumption
of the industrial product and rapidly have they forged
ahead.
1t is evident that the day of the homespun is far distant

aho the folks of that time liked to think of IT and
some of us do call il that Rather it a wasteful
inefficient time albeit necessary for without machinery
and without invention there was no other way linen IL
took person many days from weaving to sewing to ae
compsh what person with machinery today can do IN

Early Americans were proud that theirs home

1t is that in the average American home bake day
has been wiped off the calendar But why not when II has
been proven that industrial bakers do il efficiently
