at 8n Fixnclnco for th International,
New Service, William J. Bryan paid the,
following remarkable tribute to Joie IM
MelencJo, the younr Klllplno who la In
chares of the Philippine Independence
Publicity campaign In the United SUtei :)
By WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
The greatest personal victory yet
won In this Democratic convention was'
scored by n young Filipino by tho name'
o Jose P. Melenclo. lie has chorgo of
tho Phlllpplno Publicity Uureau at'
Washington.
IIo Is only twenty-six yenrs old and'
received his education in tho public'
schools of the Philippines under
American teachers, as ho proudly;
boasted nnd at Georgetown, D. 0.
Ho Is a remarkably promising youngj
man.
Speaking with grace, using tho best
language and without a traco of em
barrassment, ho presented tho claim
of tho Filipinos to independence. Tho
nudlcnco wnB nstonlshcd Tit the
strength of his argument, tho skill
with which ho marshaled his facts and1
tho high tono of hl speech. He captl-,
voted everyone nnd committeemen audi
visitors paid him tho compliment of1
rising and cheering when ho concluded
bis plea.
When ono of tho committee asked'
him some questions ho returned to the
platform and answered them with ns'p
much logic and precision as if he had
tnUen weeks to prepare his answer. Itl
was a remarkable triumph.
As ono who began twenty-two years'
ago to light for the protnino of inde
pendence I was proud of this Illustra
tion of -what the Filipino Is capabla,"
SOME FACTS
ABOUT THE
PHILIPPINES
Tho University of Santo Tomas Is
25 years older than Harvard.
Tho Filipino pcoplo number 10,380,
040, of which 0,405,272 nro Christians
and only 0 per contnon-Chrlstlans.
They havo been Christians for 300
years and havo a culturo and refine
'ment that will compare very favorably
wjth that of other nations.
There are only 0,084 Japanese In the
Philippines. Tberoiaro about 100,000
'Japanese In California alone, or 15
times as many as In the entire Philip
pine archipelago.
.English Is taught exclusively Jn the
Philippine public schools. Two mil
lion natives now speak English fluent
ly, and thcro are 700,000 English
speaking children In the public schools.
It Is destined to bo tho national language.
Seventy per cent of the inhabitants
of the Philippines over ten years of
age, according ton census Just com
pleted, are literate. This Is a higher
'percentage ot literacy than that of any
South "American country, higher than
,tiiat of Spain and higher than Uiat of
any, of the new republics of Europe
whose Independence Is being guaran
teed by the Allies.
, The Filipino pcoplo are 'unanimous
In their desire for Independence.
iWhenever they are called upon to de
posit their ballots they have always
.ratified this aspiration. At, every ses
sion before adjournment their repre
sentatives' in he Legislature relterato
'their. faith In tho principles of liberty
.and the lndepondcnco of tho Filipino
people.
Tho Filipinos declare they havo no
grudgo or grievance against tho Amer
ican people. Their upprul la accom
panied by n message of friendship and
gratitude for nil that America has done
for them. They point out that Uncle
Sam gov Independence to Cuba, nnd
they hope that they, too, will receive
that boon without which, they declare,
no civilized and patriotic people can
enjoy tho niaxlmunr of happiness und
self-respect.
A speclnl delegation ot Filipinos, of
ficially representing tho Filipino pco
plo, attended tho ltepubllcan und Dem
ocratic National conventions, socking
an Indorsement ot the Filipino desire
for Independence In the two platforms.
Their urguments, briefly stated, were
as follows :
First. That tho American Declara
tion of Independence) declares that
governments derive their Just powers
from the consent of the governed ;
Secend. fl'lmt tho American Con

If there ever was a time when the farmers of Nebraska should organize it
is NOW!
With farm products tumbling every clay, the farmers of
Nebraska and other states stand to lose billions of dol
lars. It is up to you to do your part as a farmer and
as a citizen to check this downward trend.
Orga. nidation
On the part of you and your neighbors will stabilize the
business of farming. We believe the farmer has the
same right to returns on the capital invested as has a
bank or factory. We believe the farmer has the same
right to a decent wage for his labor as the same service
would bring in the factory. Thus Organization.
Needs You
The Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation and the Dakota
County Farm Bureau need your support. The week be
ginning NOVIHIIltilt 2SNII you will be asked to help
with this great business. You will be given an oppor
tunity for the first time to join hands with all the
farmers of Nebraska and other states inTperfecting an
organization sp strong that they will receive justice.
Ypu are ipvited-to P-ttepd the meeting of the Farm Bu
reau next Monday afternoon at Iubbardr Bring the
whole family and hear what the Secretary of the Ne
braska Federation has to say about the Farm Bureau.
We will expect you and expect you to join.
