The only ihing in the world for him is a plea of guilty and a request for leniency.” “Thunk jou, sir." said Preston rather stiffly, "but I at least want to know something of my client's case.” "Now, now, Johnnie, you must learn to lake things m the proper spirit.

Declares Filipinos All Want Independence

Former NJinois Congressman, Back From Philippine*, J

Gives Interesting Views on Island Affairs. By FORMER CONGRESSMAN CLYDE H. TAVENNER. The 10.r»(a).0ini principally to the fact that In M.e ;

j JoiR-s law America gave the Filipinos her word of honor that as soon as i | stable government could he establish- j ed we would withdraw our sovereignty

from the Philippine Islands.

It might, at lirst thought, «eern strange that in their sincere appreciation of all that vve have done for them the Filipino people should place most emphasis on the promise to grant them their Independence. For it cannot lie successfully denied that on the whole the United States has treated the Filipino people better than any nation ever treated a dependent alien people in all the days since the curtain roec on the dawn, of civilization. If we do not spoil it, it is a record that

we can lie proud of.

But it really Isn't so strange that the Filipino should love us more for our promise to give them sovereignty over themselves than for our other good works, for which, after all, outside of array and navy expenditures, the ’ Filipinos have been taxed, and properly so, for every cent of the cost. If we but reverse the situation, ami place ourselves in the shoes of the Filipinos, which cannot be said to be an unfair way of getting at the other fellow's viewpoint, we shall see that

It is not strange.

Suppose that Great Britain or any other power that you can think of by referring to your geography or history, should impose its sovereignty upon ns against our will and then give us an infinitely better government than we now enjoy? t’ottld any such foreign power ever succeed In convincing u* that it had our welfare more at heart than we have ourselves. But to return te my story, the Filipinos heartily thanked us for the Jones law, considering it u sort of a covenant between the Filipino and American peoples, and immediately applied themselves to the task of setting up the prescribed stable government. And they set it up. It Is In the Philippines now. America's own representative in the Islands, the governor general, officially reports it is there, and recommends that since the Filipinos have earnestly fulfilled thc-tr part of the agreement, America should he as prompt in carrying out its part

of the contract.

So that. In a few words, it is not the Philippines that now are on trial,

hut the United States.

Tlnffe is hut one answer. America will carry out its agreement. And since we are going to do it, we cannot afford to quibble and split bail’s and hesitate until our tardiness robs us of half the glory of our achievement. Let us act with a promptness and willingness really worthy of America. And when the people of the United States set up the Philippine Republic as the first Christian democracy of the Far East, they will be building a monument to themselves that will stand throughout eternity. On that day the beacon light of hope, humanity and justice will flash around the world. Such an example by America will a--

I'liillppines of one of the finest edu- j complish more for the weak and strugcationul systems In the world; nor to gllng peoples of the earth than the tin- building iif high class roads, four year world war, with all its cost bridges and public works—but is due In life and treasure.

Inhabiiauts of the Philippines are practically unanimous in their desire for Independ-

ence.

T It I s is the strongest Impression that I have brought back with me after touring the islands from one end to the

Clyde H. Taverner, other, and after

having come In

contact w-itl^ail cl; -ses of Hie fM-ople. I found, however, that the viewpoint of Americana in the Philippines, and Americans in the United States, on the subject of Independence, is not the

m rue.

The attitude of (he American government, and the great mass of the people of the United States, is to consider ihe Philippine question from the unselfish viewpoint of what is best for the Filipino people Ninety-live tier cent of the opposition to Independence emanates from American In-vr-tpi's in the islands who are quite naturally more Interested In the size of their dividends than the freedom of

an alien people.

The unfortunate feature of the situation is that the opponents of independence, in order lo convince the people of the United Slates that the Filipinos should not be granted their Independence, find it necessary to libel mi entile race. To tell a sensitive t.’lirisiian people that they shall pot have iheir promised Independence because they are not fit for it will in the end prove a mistaken policy, it will only make their demand for Independence the stronger. At the present time, however, the masses of the Filipino people still have absolute confidence In the good faith of America. Their loyalty and gratitude to Fuele .Sant has not as vet been Impaired by the raisrepreseiitiitions of the reteutionlsts. Their lenders are intelligent enough to distinguish between those Americans wtio oppose tlieir aspirations to independence for purely s>-!fis|i reasons, and the great mass of the American people whom they know desire this government to do by the Filipinos only that which is just and right. In lids connection. It is interesting to review ihe development of the present friendly relationship between tiie Filipino and American peoples. Previous to 1SB6 the PhilipptneAtiieriean relationship is declared lo have been not of the best. But with the passage in Hint year of ihe Jones law bv prai-tlrnlly both the Republican and Denioorntic memberships of Congress, a hotter feeling developed. This "lietter feeling” has now grown inio a very strong bond of sympathy and

affection.

The happy attitude of the Filipino people toward America is due not principally to the fact that Americans have shown the Filipinos how to make their country a better place to live in; not principally to the fact we have auperlnteniU.-il the Implanting in the
