(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. . CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Ovor 30 Years Always beer toe ejnsuaieef "Before and Afver" 0 rV 1 1 .At-'. 1'. "BEFORE."

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.

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.
