Philippines

The Filipino people have succeeded in
maintaining stable government and
have thus fulfilled the only condition
laid down by the Congress as a pre-
requisite to the granting of independ-
ence. We declare that 1t Is now our
liberty and our duty to keep our prom

Immediately the independence which
they so honorably covet.

Children nre the chief asset or thf
Nation. Therefore, their protection
through infancy aud childhood against

Rights of State

sThe rights of the States:
we demand that the constitutional
rights and powers of the States shall be
preserved in their fun yigor and virtue.
These constitute a bulwark against
GENERALIZATION and the destructive ten
denotes of the Republican party.
We oppose bureaucracy and the multi
ufication of offices and offlceholders.
We demand a revival of the spirit OF
local self-government, without which
free institutions cannot be preserved.

No agreement was ratified with re-

10 remedy the failure OF 1921 by the
Geneva conference OF 1928 was char
acterized by the same lack OF states
manship and efficiency and resulted in
entire failure.
In consequence the race between ma

Porto Rico

We favor granting to Porto Rico
such territorial form Of government as
would meet the present economic con-
ditions Of the island and provide for
the aspirations of her people, with the
view to ultimate statehood accorded to
all Territories of the United States
since the beginning of our Government,
and we believe any officials appointed
TO administer the government Of such
Territories should be qualified by pre-
vious bona fide residence therein.

Public Health

The Democratic party recognizes
that not only the productive wealth of
the Nation but Its contentment and
happiness depends upon the health of
its citizens. 1t, therefore. pledges itself
to enlarge the existing Bureau OF Public
Health and to do all things possible to
stamp out communicable and con-
tagious diseases. and to ascertain pre-
ventable means and remedies for these
diseases. such as cancer. infantile par
alysis and others which heretofore
have largely defled the skill of physi-
clans
We pledge our party to spare no
means to lift the apprehension OF
Diseases from the minds OF our people,
and to appropriate all moneys neces-
sary thereto 10 carry out this pledge.

Mining

Mining is one of the basic industries
of this country. We produce more coal,
iron and copper than any other colln-

A good week to plan for a show" for

ideas about what he shall do and by
constant demands deplete any store the

which to work out their natural pro-

These crude efforts to entertain them
selves may bear astounding fruit, Tor
they may result in the discovery of play
wrights who write their own material
and young thespians who excel in their
interpretations, as well as the more OBJ
vious results of richer appreciation
of one of the oldest of the arts. Such
esthetic estimation awakened in child
hood should result naturally in real
dislike and scorn for anything but the

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Monday, December II.

Benefic aspects will be strong tomor-
row, according to astrology, which finds
the morning most favorable to many
activities.
Literary and educational matters are
especially well directed, with promise of
great achievements in the intellectual
world.
America is to pay especial attention
to art interests in the new year, which
will bring widespread appreciation of
beauty.
There is first-rate promise for those
who deal in land and 1T seems that in
several cities SlurnS and rundown sec
tions are to be marvelouSly reclaimed to
loveliness.
Intense interest in agricultural prob
lens viii reflect upon the public mind
in a way most beneficial to gardening.
The seerS fortell that the United
States viii possess parks and gardens
more beautiful than any in the world
The landscape artist is to come into
great demand and more than one man
will make fame for himself by splendid
achievements.
This is not an especially auspicious
day for starting ocean Journeys. but as
trologers forecast much travel to
America from foreign countries.
Industrial enterprises should prosper
under this rule of the stars which indi-
Gates increased trend toward combina-
tionS
Money is to be obtained by those who
deal in small and those who deal in
large things, but between there will be
much real cleverness necessary to sue
ceed, the seers declare.
Again many changes in customs and
in scale of living are prognosticated.
Persons whose birth date it is prob
ably vii find that the year brings them
sense of safety and security in finan-
cial affairs.
Children born on that day probably
will be rather too mild and modest to
succeed in their own business projects.
They should make fine employees Girls
will be admirable wives and mothers.

BANQUET of amusementS dished up for
his enjoyment and his probably per-
Sonal contribution will be Rotten"
The small child spends his leisure
going to movies or the theater with his
parents. If he takes part in theatricais
himself they are in the hands of experts
who use their creative ability and their
imaginations and the children merely
as properties. If the small child never
took a paint brush in his hand to try
to make tree that looked like tree
it is obvious that he would have neither
knowledge nor appreciation OF the art
of master who accomplished the task.
This is true Of all the arts. Our pres
ent day education of children must
always take into, account that they are
being fitted to enjoy leisure as well as
for the economic struggle which pre-
supposeS the leisure. The older gen.
Grafton found the business Of living SO
complicated that there was less leisure
to enjoy, and, if there were any, the
dearth of amuSementS made 1t necessary
for them to concoct the frivolities to
fill it.
Present-day living is SO mechanical
and so systematized that even the small
child has more time for just playing.
and for his entertainment such full
diet of predigested amusements that
his own mind and imagination go to
sleep.
It remains for the parent to realize
the necessity for some method of spur
ring the child to desire for making
his own entertainments, and giving
them the spice that can only come
