Now, after reading the complete
testimony as it was given to Judge

January 5, 1925.
Editor Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
Sir
Your editorial Of December 18th
brands our Filipino leaders as selfish
and incompetent as shown by the
fact that, according to Miss
Katherine Mayo's articles, there has
been inefticiency in the handling of
our medical and sanitary services
during the period of Filipino
autonomy. To refute Miss Mayo's
charge and your editorial, we need
only cite the following comparative
figures during the period when the
Philippine Government was in the
lands of Americans with but little
the period of Filipino autonomy,
1914-1921.
In 1919, there We're no public dis
pensaries where the poor could be
given medical treatment; in 1921,
there were over 500. In 1913 there
were two insular and six provincial
hospitals, while in 1920 there were
II insular and II provincial hospi-
tails. Only one organization for in
FAINT welfare work was in existence
prior to 1909. This phase of social
work was given momentum for the
first time in 1915. during Filipino
government, and in 1921, there
were els institutions for this pur-
pose. The average death rate for
the period 190S-13 was 1928 per
thousand, while the rate for the
same number of years, from 1914
1919. was 1852, showing a decrease
in mortality of over 4 per thousand.
despite the fact that during 1918 and
1919, epidemics of influenza. cholera
and smallpox swept the islands.
Hoping that YOU will be fair
enough to publish this letter in
your paper. | am

"As an American citizen and
Senator, believe your President
and mine is an honorable man."
said Senator Robinson, presumably
looking at Norris. IF to be
Democrat means that I must give
myself and my feeble powers to an
unjust assault upon a political adj
versary, then am not a Democrat"
So Senator Robinson rendered
good service to his party as well as
to his country, eXemplifying a spirit
that is needed. Honest men may
differ and should do so without each
assuming the other to be dishonest.
Indeed, we like to believe the pub
