So Declares Manuel Quezon, Filipino

St. Paul, Minn., May 2.--If there is any dignity in the spirit of a man, dollars, and even food, are trivial to him and liberty is everything, de- clared Manuel L. Quezon, president of the Philippine senate. who, with party of ten. is on his way to urge Philippine independence upon Presi- dent Coolidge at Washington.
 The United States has solemnly obligated itself to give our islands freedom the moment we are able to govern ourselves" he said. We believe that moment has arrived. In fact for some time we have felt sure of our capacity to govern ourselves, and this is the third mission to come here to press our petition in Wash ington."
 Travelling with Senor Quezon are Francisco Zamora. secretary of the mission; Senator Sergio Osmena and Representative claro Recto, members of the mission, and six secretaries.

 The royalists, regarded as negli- gible factor, have Leon Daudet to in- spire them, while the communists, whose strength is unknown but who are expected in some quarters to sap the greater part of the socialists" strength, are led by Marcel Cachin, a faithful supporter of the Moscow in- ternational.

POINCARE APPEARS
 AS CHIEF LEADER
Is Principal Director of National
 Bloc in Campaign
By The Associated Press.


 Paris, May 2. - Premier Poincare Is, in spite of himself, the principal leader of the national bloc in the electoral campaign. He practically adopted the bloc not only as the gov ernment majority in the chamber but as the official ticket for the parlia- mentary elections when, at the open ing of the debate on the new taxes, it appeared to be necessary to reassure deputies who feared they would ruin their chances for reelection by voting the taxes.
 Later on, when the government was defeated over the pension bill. Poin- care considered that his chamber ma jority had become a minority. and in making up his new cabinet he reduced the representation of the national bloc to two members and took in three radicals. This action was taken as indicating a desire on the part of the government to widen it's majority by propitiating the radicals and to get loose from the national bloc whose chances in the elections were dimin- ishing, but the members of the na- tional bloc refused to look at it that way. "In spite of all," they cried. We shall go into the campaign to the rallying cry of Long live Poin- care'."
 The premier replied T would rath- CT hear you cry Long live France',' but he remains the principal and only real leader the majority party has. Andre Tardieu. former French high commissioner in the United States. who was the most available man to lead the bloc had long since abandon ed it because he could not support Poincare. He has become reconciled with the Poincare candidates in the department of ine-et-Oise and is running on the same ticket, but he is no longer recognized as a party lead CT.
 The opposition is richer in leaders than in troops. It has. first and fore most, ex-Premier Briand. who is slated to head the government again if sthe opposition coalition succeeds. Along with him are M. Herriot, presi- dent of the radical party; former Pre- mier Painleve, head of the republican socialist -party, and Paul Boncour, leader of the socialist party.
 NJ. Franklin Bouillon, negotiator of the Angora pact, which brought peace between France and Turkey, is one of the high lights of the radical party but is running a show of his own be-

The total weight of the instrument will be S7 tons, and the mirror will add weight of\2,70O pounds. Des- pite its great weight, the telescope will be so delicately balanced that it will require only the same amount of current necessary for an electric lamp when in use.
 The telescope will make visible to the eye stars of the eighteenth magni- tude. and make possible photographs of stars of the nineteenth and possibly the twentieth magnitude, according to Ohio Wesleyan astronomers.

CHAPTER VII
Fancies and Fence Rails.


Jack Warhope made a one-handed
job of his work among the feed-pens
next forenoon, though 1t was task
for two. The young woodsman was
immensely sensitive over the fact that
he was bound boy, though Simon
Colin never obtruded it on him and
seldom exercised any sort of authority
over him.
He allowed him to live on in the
cabin where his father and mother
had dreamed their dream. to come and
go as he pleased The srvewd old
money-lender probably knew that the
young mans high spirit would urge
him further than any amount Of exer-
cised authority possibly could. And
Simon Colin knew the race from
which his bound boy had sprung.
From the first, Simon's treatment of
his bound boy had caused his neigh
hors no small wonder-it was so I'M
like him. He had sent him to the vii
lage school till he outgrew 1t, and had
allowed him to roam the woods with
out any sort Of restraint. Far from
discouraglng his very aptitude for
woodcraft, he had even loosened his
heart-strings-and his purse-strings;
an Infinitely harder thing for him to
do-to the extent Of buying him the
best double-barreled shotgun the mar
ket afforded, and revolver Of model
and Workmanship as fine as the art of
revolver-making could produce at that
time-two gifts on which the boy GER
tainly cast no discredit.

terpiece that had been selected for the
honor because Of its size and beauty,
he hacked himself off an enormous
slice.
There Is that about a naked knife
certain cold, fiinching thought Of
sharp steel drawn across warm flesh
that no other weapon inspires. Women
gasped children flew in terror to their
parents; the desperate was left with
the cleared center of the floor to HIM
self.
He hacked himself Off another huge
section; gulped 1t down; laughed con-
temptuousy, and slammed the rest OF
the beautiful confection at a window
with a force that snuffed out candle
and shivered the glass to splinters; he
glared around at the shrinking circle
and smacked the knife against the
palm of his hand.
"Say, ladies'" he leered, his voice
sounding harsh and strident In the
dead silence OF the room, you end

The reference was too plain to be
misunderstood. Not man there but
had heard of the shoot-up In the post
office the evening before. Every eye
turned toward Jack Warhope, stand
Ing step or two In front Of the
shrinking circle-for the others had
drawn back and he had not.
The eyes Of the desperate followed
the eyes of the crowd. Slouching
across the floor till the two stood face
to face, he stiffened and glared with
dull savagery

the punch bowl, leaned across the |
table and almost stopped breathing.

The reply stung the drunk man to
madness. With unexpected vicious
ness he lunged and struck with the

floor, But tha blow. quick a. 1t was

Like LAUGHS in Schools.

One liberty the severest critic of

as discipline. In 1902 in a girls high

in Worlds Work, saw a teacher dis
