GOV.-GENERAL
OF PHILIPPINES
FOR FREEDOM
Declares It Not Right That Free
j dom Should Longer Be
! Withheld.
y FRANCIS BURTON HARRISON,
Oovrnr-Gtneral of ths Philippines.
(First Article.)
My nix years' a
perlence as gov
ernor - general of
ih rii!iii'iin Is
lands have eon
vlucrd me that the
Klllplno people are
resiiy and lit to
have their lnde-pt'ioh-nce.
I have
recomnteniled to
('oiifcre-ia, aa well
ss to the executive
a 1 tn I n I a f ration,
that Independence
he granted.
Gov. Qen. Harrison
As to the question of the nubility of
government, I wish to aay to the Am
erican peopla upon my responsibility
as Ihe governor-general thut In my
opinion there exists today In the Phil
ippine Islands a stable government,
which I think should answer the re
quirements luld down by Presidents
Grunt and MiKlnley, and as I under
stand It, also by Mr. Hoot namely, ft
government elected by the suffrage of
Ihe people, which Is supported by the
people, which Is ctpuble of maintain
ing order and of fuluMIIng Its Interna
tional obligations.
I am very glud t go on record as be
ing entirely In sympathy with the ss
plratlona of the Filipino nation for In
dependence. I have recommended to Congreas
that In granting Independence aoiue
provision I made similar to what Is
known as the Piatt amendment In the
treaty with Cuba, which restricts the
sblllty ef the new republic In borrow
ing of foreign governments and also
permits the United States t Interfere
with the affairs of the new republic la
case condition of disorder should be
found to prevail. Such recommend.
tlou does not come as an expression of
the views of the Filipinos; It la my
own view of what would be desirable
to secure a feeling of conUdnoa and
satisfaction on the part of all persons
who have already Inrested money In
the Philippine)! or who contemplate do
ing so lu the near future.
But It Is not right thst Independence
Itself should longer be delayed.
Ily temperament, by experience, by
financial ability, In every way, the
11,000,000 Filipinos are entitled to
be free from every government except
of their own choice. They are Intelli
gent enough to decide for themselves,
I have fouml the native Filipino of
ficial to be honest, efficient and as ca
pable of administering executive posi
tions as any men I have mot anywhere
In the world.
These officials are today gorernlng
1,0110 municipalities and forty two
provinces, economically, efficiently and
for the good of the entire people. They
have a native congress, Including many
graduates ef Yale, Princeton, Harvard
ami other American universities. Oth
er members ere graduates of Saulo To
mas snd other I'hlllpplne universities,
and In education and ability they com
pare favorably with any I know.
They have leaders Ilka Speaker Os
men of the House of Representatives
and President CJueion of the Senate
who would adorn any office.
The Philippines are away ahead of
the United Suites la successful govern
ment ownership and operation of pub
lic utilities.
The government took hold of ths
steam railways and made them pay a
pcoflt of 1,000.000 pesos a year more
than under private ownership.
It took hold of the highways, and
we have 7.0(H) miles of the best mac
adamised roads In the world. The
Manila city government is about te
take over the street railways and the
gaa and electric plants, while the ter
ritorial government Is arranging for
ownership and control ef the coal sup-
Dir.
The morement for Independence la
a peaceful one. No territory was more
loyal to Uncle Sam during the war. It
offered an armed and equipped division
lo our government, gave It a subm
rlne destroyer and oversubscribed Llt-
ertv loans and Red Cross fun. Is.
Two million netlres speak F.ngllsa
fluently, and Ihere are 700,000 Knglisb.
speaking children In the public scheols.
I sni more than willing to retire If
the Filipinos can be granted what they
deserve- -a government like that of lbs
United States.
A MISRRESENTEO RACK.
The Flltplne people are much mis
represented race. The frequent pub
lication of plctares of semi-naked Min
danao Moros and Igorotes has caused
great many Americans to believe
they are typical of the Inhabitants of
the Philippines. Such Is far from tin
case, however. Of 11,000,000 Inhab
itants of tli islands, 10,900,000 are a
Christian, clvlllied people with a cul
ture and refinement that will compare
very favorably with that of other na
tions. The Filipino women ar excep
tionally modest. A street fllrtstlon In
Manila, so far as a Klllpln woman Is
coucJ-'i 'J, la something that Is aloeel
unknown, aa any American that naj
Tlslled Manila will testify.
Most pei plf Hie sorry after iis
too late. .

"BEFORE."
From misery tn comfort mid s'-lf respect In (he day' lime, simply through
Ihe liui.'lc of mi American ti n dollar bill. Is it trunsl'oi'nmlhiu Hint Is being
wrm'i.lit ilnily in Wi-Morn Asia by the Near Fast llellcf of 1 Maillsou Avenue,
New Yolk City. The Ki-oiip of the Armenian children shown In livo pictures
here have reiinn to bless the American donor of Unit ten dollar bill. With
this money, the eieri workers i.r Near Must Kclluf In Armenia were able to
rid the poor rhihlivn of Ihelr loiiihesome racs and to clothe them with new
irnrmentH of alaja cloih, woven In n Near Kast Helief lmlustrlal plant nnd
sewed into farniebis by the molher of 'lie children. The mother whs also
pah a small fee for her services In limning the niriiients.
This was n lucky family. There are thousand of others nut so lucky
In the Near Fast, simply because of a lack of other ten ilollar bills.
Near Fast Relief Is uskhiK Hie American people to cnnlrlbute funds
to save the slarvlng In the lilble latuls. It Is estimated that over 1.2."i0.000
adults are lu desperate need, nnd 'J."iuKl children are orphuns , ml must be
cured for. For the sum of $1R0 it year Near Fast Relief can not only feed
and clothe and shelter an orphan child, but can also lve n, course In educa
tion towards ultimiile self-support nnd Independence. Many of those orphans
ire belni; "inlnpieil" by American who ale providing funds for the support
of one or more over a given period.

Armenian Gl-ls Rescued from l urks Being Taken to Near East Relief Home.
The II rce pretty Armenian girls In the auto are taking n real "Joy ride,'
joyful liavlin; another meiiuini: from that generally ussocialed with auto
rldinn here. They have been rescued from the hiirein of a Turk after foui
years of shameful servitude and are belni: taken to one of the Near Kusi
Relief rescue homes. Nn wonder they are smiling for the first time since
their captivity. The Near Fast Relief Is caring for many thousands of these
girls until they can find Ihelr rolathes. Also It Is urn-king lo save ITiii.OOD
orphans and over a million mlulls from Ktumiilou tins winter. That Is why
It Is imiklng nation wide appeal for funds lo curry on Its noble work.

CHURCH COUNCIL
ENDORSES N. E. R.
Federal Body Says No Mora
Compelling Need In All
the World.
Departing from custom, Hi Feder
al Council nf Churches has endorsed !
the work being done by Near East
Relief, 1 Madison Avenue, New York
City, the former committee for Ar-
tnenlnn and Syrian Relief which lias '
essayed the task of caring for 1,250,- '
000 starving people In Western Asia. '
Resolutions adopted by the executive
committee, as announced by Charles S. j
Mncfarluud, general secretary, are as
follows: j
"Your committee recommends that j
prayers he offered In all our churches
for the suffering children throughout
the world, especially those who are In
distress and peril as the result of the
war. j
"They further recommend that we
reatllrm and emphasize our Interest
and cooperation lu the plans ol
'Near Fast Relief.' We know of no
need lu the world that Is more com
pelling than that of the Armenian,
Syrian and other peoples In the Le
vant who have already received and
must still receive the generous sym
pathy of the Americun people."
Dollars and Cents
Counting it only in dollars and cents
how much did that cold cost you? A
man may not always stop work when
he has a cold, but perhaps it would bo
better if he did. It takes about ten
ilays to e;et conip'etely rid of a cold un
der the usual tieatinent. Tftat time
can be much shortened by takingClnwn
beilain's Couiih Remedy and proper
care of yourself, in fact, a bottle of this
remedy in the bouse is a mighty good
investment during the winter and spring
months.

For The Children.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
securing a cough medicine foi children.
It should be pleasant to take, contain
no harmful drug and most eltectual in j
eiiiing ihcir coiiL'hs a ii, I eiilds. Long
experience has shown that Chamber
Iain's l'oiii:h lieinedy meets these eon
ditions. It is a favorite with many
mothers.
As we understand the rules and
regulations lor gelling a few drops
of sperits for medical purposes, if
you feel you are liable lo have flu
next winter, belter make applica
tion for the remedy now.
