Election of '48

The writer paid a visit recently to
the venerable William Joslin, during
which time the major talked in a rem
iniscent mood and touched upon many
things the writer had long since for
gotten. The McCann-Tate campaign
in 1886, one Of the hottest in the his
tory of the county, the Bryan-McKin-
ley campaign in 1896, and then our
old friend surprised us by telling of
the Taylor-Scott campaign in 1S48.
His father, Carlos Joslin, and family,
were then occupying their homestead
on Ash Creek On the night of the
7th of November it showed about six
inches. The next morning his father
and oldest son went to Richland,
now Beach, to vote. William was not
of age, being then nineteen, but he
said with a chuckle, "If l couldn't vote

pLATTEVILLE MASONS
TO BUILD IN 1923

PLATTEVILLE.-M lodge, A..
p & A. M. has ratified the action of
the committee in taking out an option
on the Park hotel property, Benson
and Pine streets. Many Masons, how
ever. oppose remodeling the hotel for
lodge purposes and prefer to take ac-
ton looking to the construction of a
Inc temple on the newly acquired
building site.
According to the agreement with
the Mound City bank when it pur-
chased the Masonic home on Main
street one years prior notice must be
given before the lodge halls can be va
Gated as the Masons hold a ten-year
lease on the halls. Under the option
with Jack Tracy he must be given six
months notice before vacating the
Park hotel
The Park hotel probably will con-
tinue to operate in it's present quar-
ters for another year or more for the
reason that the Masons cannot make
arrangements to build a new temple
much before that time.

long and unselfish one as testified by
many friends and especially by her
family. She is survived by one son,
Joseph, who lives in Washington, and

ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE IS
 NOT EXPECTED FROM SENATE . ... BY PHILIPPINE DELEGATION

nte than it has received for the last three or four years" Secretary of War Weeks, under whose immedi- ate jurisdiction the islands fall, has elaborated somewhat on the admin istration policy. q am opposed to im- mediate inepenence for the Philip pines," said Secretary Weeks, land so is President Harding"
 WOODS REPORT CONSIDERED.
 The attitude of the administration according to Secretary Weeks, is based to a considerable extent upon the report compiled by Major Gen. eral Leonard Wood, now governor general of the islands, and former Governor Forbes, who made their recommendations after months of exhaustive study. This report was definitely against immediate recog- milton and ascribed much of the present chaos in the islands to too much previous talk along that line.
 The administration not only has endorsed that report in toto, but has evidenced it's endorsement by mak- ing General Wood governor general of the islands and by bringing all sorts of pressure to bear upon him and the University of Pennsylvania, from which he has leave of absence. to induce him to remain in the islands as governor.
 All this is well known to Quezon and Osmena, who, according to their own statements, intend to try to counteract the influence of the Wood Forbes report in the United States by giving the American people "the true facts" with regard to conditions in the Philippines.

The greatest tragedy in life is that of a mother denied the love of her child
 Time, it is said, heals all wounds, but heart wounds never forgotten never heal and the mothers love for her son, of the sort "that passeth all understanding" is never forgotten.
 Jacqueline Floriot proves this statement in Madame X," showing at the Empress theater tonight. Turned from her home by the unjust suspicious of her husband she is de- nied the love of her son and seeks solace in the underworld of Paris. Years pass, but like Banquo's ghost, the love for her son will not down. And in the end she finds him, placed through a strange trick of fate as counsel for her defense for a crime committed to save her husbands career from ruin.
 Pauline Frederick brings to the screen in the role of Madame x" a superb portrayal of this pathetic fig ure. It is the sort of narrative that will appeal for it is built upon the elemental passion of life. It is im- pressive and inspiring in it's deep theme and massive production.
 Madame X" is a superb attraction showing at the Empress theater to- night. Regular prices will prevail.

CHICKEN
 IS BORN AT VICTORIA

VICTORIA, B. C., July 10. A quadruped chicken was included in a brood which was matched here by a hen owned by Miss E. M. Smith
 All the legs are on the under side of the body, and while all are well formed the chick has difficult time in maneuvering. In stopping to scratch, for instance, the hind legs come off the ground, due to the ab- sence of knees in the forelegs.
 The other chicks of the brood are greatly puzzled at the freak and will have nothing to do with it.

| WASHINGTON, July 10.-On the face of things, Manuel Quezon, head of the Filipino independent delega- ton, which has just arrived in the United States, is beaten before he starts his campaign.
 The willy president of the Philli- pine senate is too well versed in the mysterious ways of diplomacy and propaganda to believe for a moment the expensive mission he is convoy ing to Washington to plead the cause of immediate, complete and absolute independence" will accom- plish nothing.
 Through agents in the United States Quezon is perfectly well in formed of official and public opinion in this country, and though he re- fused to be a member of the mis- sion unless it was instructed to de- mand complete independence, he hasn't the slightest idea of obtaining r&-just yet.
 s.-- That is exactly what he told the independent commission personally only a few minutes after it had voted to give definite instructions to the delegates to demand complete and immediate dependence. He said to them that, although he had stood out for those instructions, he knew perfectly well that anyone who eX- pected the commission to return to Manila with Philippine independence in it's portfolio was doomed to dis appoinement. He then proceeded to read to the commission cablegram from his agents in Washington show ing that the attitude of the Harding administrator was distinctly opposed to Philippine independence at this time
 QUEzON IN UNITED STATES.
 Quezon is now in the United States, however, and he has author
  missionary work. He frankly admits he believes the surest way of bring ing the American people to the Fill pino point of view is through pub licity. This, however, will not pre- vent the commission from prosecut- ing it's case vigorously both before the president and before congress.
 As president of the Philippine senate, Quezon is a powerful factor in Filipino politics. With him is Os- mena, speaker of the house of rep resentatives, also a powerful figure in the Philippines, and appealing to 9 more conservative element than Ouezon. Though Osmena has shown more willingness to cooperate with Governor General Wood in domestic f legislation than Quezan, the two nevertheless are apparently united on the question of independence for the Philippines.
 The attitude of the Harding ad- ministration, however, is believed to rbe unshakable The White House is on record as declaring that the in dependence mission will return to Manila "with something more defi-
