"Either give my country ltf Independence, or else cease celebrating, the anniversary of Independence," s the pith of his address. "Is it an irony of Fate, that I a Fil ipino, belonging ;to and representing a .people subjsot to the United State, he quested, "should address. an American audtsnoe on' the celebra tion of the Declaration of Independ ence?" ' From the Filipino viewpoint. Com. mlssloner Queion sgld, the , Declare,, tlon of Independence Is' a solemn pledge of American national faith and honor. "It is.tfie. baptismal vow of this country.'' . he exclaimed, .and then continued: "Since the Declaration of Inde pendence, and by the overwhelming Influence of its doctrines, republics have been founded upon the wrecks of despotism, and constitutional gov ernments are finding ietr way in both hemlihrea, even in countries where absolutism seemed to have .been firmly rooted.

PRESIDENT TIFT BIKES SPEECH ON HIS FAVORITE SUBJECT, Claims That it is Not Good Democratic, but Re publican Doctrine "SHOW" FOR HIM INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., July 4. President Taft put the parting touch of his party in the celebration of this city's "safe and sane" Fourth In a speech on Canadian reciprocity at the Marion club banquet tonight. The president made his answer to the ar gument of other republicans that rec iproclty, as he proposed It, is not good republican doctrine but democratjo doctrine. He showed that reciprocity as presented to congress by him dif fered. If at all. only slightly from red' procity advocated by James G. Blaine and former President McKlnley. He said the contention of the opponents of his reciprocity plan that the doc trine is unrepubllcsn because it affects articles that are competitive and not merely non-eompetltlve articles is not sound. "The sound republican doctrine," the president said, "has become the imposition of duties only where the conditions are naturally unequal, and wheYe duties are necessary In order to enable our manufacturers and oth Vl producers tomeet on a level the lom petition of foreign producers. J"he Canadian .reciprocity agreement which has been made square exactly with this doctrine." Although the sun. hovered around 110 en the streets most of the day, the president enjoyed hts part in the celebration of the Fourth. The presi dent was the guest of former Vice President Fairbanks. . Practically the only unpleasant In cident of the day occurred in front of the stand at the base of the monu ment to Indiana sailors and soldiers a half nour before his arrival when Mrs-i-HarryTntewfler, occupying one of the, reserved seats, was struck .la the thigh by a spent ballet fired by some one whom tbe police tonight had not Identified.

The measured ' awing of Referee Walsh's arm tolling oft the ten- seconds over the writhing body of Owen Moran, of England, brought victory to Ad Wo I gast in the .thirteenth round of to day's international battle for, the light- weight championship. It was a clean knockout and the decisive victory was earned by the rugged strength and punishing powers of the champion. Right uppercuta to ' the stomach, followed by a left hook to the Jaw. forced the game little English lighter to take the count for the first time in his eleven years In the ring, Moran came up undistressed for the unlucky thirteenth ' round, although It "-was plain that he was tiring. Wolgaat met him with a well timed rush and forced his way to close quarters. Mo ran checked him with a left jab, but was backed against the ropes in his own corner. Suddenly Wolgast whip ped his right arm free- . from the Ucllnch. and,, swinging from- hts hip. sent his glove crashing three times U the pit of Moran's stomach, t Moran's face whitened and twisted with agony under the smear of blood from his, cut lips. He grouped bllndlj to smother the smashing blows; then his knees gave way under him and he slipped from Wolgast's grasp to tho canvass that covered the ring. " '.
