FILIPINO POLITICIANS
NOW SPEAK IN ENGLISH
Leaders Campaign in Adopted
Tongue-Large Per Cent
Being Educated.

Filipinos, as race, have progressed
SO far in the study of the English
language that candidates for public
office in the Philippine Islands re-
Gently have made their campaign
speeches in their adopted tongue, ac-
cordinS to word received here.
Sergio Osmena. speaker of the in
sular house ot representatives since
1907. and considered by many the
foremost living statesman of the Fill
ipinos, a short while ago delivered
an important speech in the language
of the new generation FilipinosS as
they call it. Mr.. Osmena was educated
ir Spanish.
Senior Quezon. president of the Phil
ippine senate, is another user of Eng
senatorial candidate delivering all his
addresses in English because, he said,
the Filipinos have advanced so much
in public education that those who
have been educated in the public
schools now will control the political
situation in (he islands. The candi-
date was Juan Allegro.
Il will make my appeal dirtctly to
the people through the English Ian
guage," he explained. II will not
speak Spanish or Bicol. This l told
Gov. Wood and he was very much
pleased"
More than 100000 children. or
over 10 per cent of the population.
are now attending 5000 schools,
taught by more than 10000 teachers.
and. according to DR. w. w. Mar
quardt. formerly director of educa-
ton of the Philippines. this percent
age appears favorable when COM
pared to N per cent of Frence and
Sweden. and when compared with the
per cent Of Java and the per cent
of India it is seen in it's proper per-
spective.
In the United States there are more
than 5000 Filipinos attending col
leges and universities, and thirteen.
including a Filipino girl, received
doctors degrees this year. Filipinos
also go to Europe and Japanes uni

~Citizen" Makes Charges That Need
Investigating.

There has been IN the last few days
much discussion Of the fact that our
Sheriff did his duty in taking a still
and in doing so wounded a young man
or boy. To my surprise there has
been some condemnation Of our Sher-
if and misplaced sympathy because
of the youth Of the party. But do we
hear any sympathy expressed for the
boys for whom unscrupulous men nd
boys are making this poison, which
kills the soul as well as the body Of
its victims The law Is being fla
grantly broken every where and our
officers shot down BY men, Who from
the very nature Of the business they
are engaged in are law breakers and
criminals.
This being true is it not the duty
Of every law abiding citizen, and,
feel sure they are in the majority,
to uphold our Sheriff in what he has
done2 Because this law has been
broken it has been suggested BY
some that it be abandoned
Feeling as ! do that the use Of in
toXicants is the greatest evil in the
world creating in men an appetite they
are powerless to resist, this law seems
a long step in the right direction and
it is a glorious thought that our gov
ernment gets no part Of her revenue
from the weaknesses and vices Of her
citizens.
There is in a certain neighborhood
depot, from which each day thirty
children take the train for school II
is a well known fac THAT a clique FREE
quently have liquor at this depot. The
depot is a public place and the citi-
zens Of the community have a right to
expect it to be kept free of evil Two
parties Of this clique draw large gov
eminent pensions. One Of these two
is said to sell this liquor. have
wondered If our government intends
to uphold such parties. If not what
steps an be taken to set the govern
ment right in regard to these parties.
There are some who through their
strong constitutions drink for years,
without its apparently hurting them,
while there are others to whom il is
as deadly as tuberculosis germs are
to still others and should be as per-

ting together in the matter Of the
route Of the permanent road which is
planned to traverse the district from
north to south. Fear was expressed
at one time that because of the APP
parent purpose Of the engineers to
make radical changes in the route,
much opposition would arise which
might defeat entirely the building Of
the road. It is gratifying to learn
that these differences are being ami
cably adjusted, and the county is yet
to have this most important step since

plentiful, and varied specimens have
been brought in for inspection; but
the largest snakes shown, with the
exception Of one unusually large wa

Of these was killed at the Hastings
