"T1PGi-
Bryan in the Philippines
The Manila Times of January 1
prints the following report of the cele
bration on Rizal day:
Rizal, the patriot; Rizal, the mar
tyr; Rizal the man and Filipino;
everywhere was manifested "the most
devout spirit, the most intense feel
ing, the greatest enthusiasm. The
early morning hours of Saturday saw
Filipinos out in full holiday regalia.
By 7 o'clock the Escolta and Plaza
Binondo as, well ".as central points of
other districts especially Tondo, were
fairly alive with indigenous humanity
and its wife.
The parade was t&e feature of the
day's program. It was essentially an
industrial demonstration, the tobacco
interests being the feature of the pro
cession. In the exercises wnich were held
at the reviewing stand on the Luneta,
a pleasing feature was apparent. Rep
resentatives of nearly every political
faction engaged in tne local political
field vied with each other to make
the affair a success, political axes
being for the moment laid aside in
the unanimous effort to pay homage
to the martyred patriot and scholar in
whose name the day was celebrated
and for whom all held the same' re
spect Numerous gatherings were had in
private residences after tne ceremon
ies and in the evening "bailes" and
"banquetes" were given. These last
ed, in some cases, till the early hours
of Sunday morning. y
Long before the hour of 7 the Plaza
Calderon de la Barca was crowded
with a motley throng of natives and it
was as much as Manila's "finest"
could do to keep the street car tracks
and roadway clear for passing ve
hicles and street cars. From all direc
tions "were; coming divisions which
were totajte tlipjtg iplace 4n the rap
idly forming parade. -A large number
of floats were early on the scene and
were greatly admired by the native ele
ment. One special float, that of the
La Yabana cigar factory, receiving
considerable applause ana was sur
rounded for a long time by an admir
ing -crowd.
The arrival of the boys of the Liceo
de Manila in company formation armed
with dummy rifles and headed by two
troops -mounted as lancers was a sig
nal for considerable applause. The
boys presented quite a soldierly ap
pearance and carried themselves dur
ing the evolutions necessary for them
to accomplish before tney were able
tc take up their position, In a manner
that called forth the praise of. a large
number of Americans.
The grand marshal Having seen that
everything was In order for a timely
start gave the order to march at ten
minutes after 8 o'clock. Four mount
ed policemen headed the procession
and were followed by the grand mar
shal and his aides. The deputy mar
shal and his aides remained to see
that the procession was properly des
patched. The route taken wsdown jtosario,
through calle Galvey ana over the
bridge of Spain.
The parade presented an imposing
appearance as it passed down Calle
jiBagumbayan from the bridge of Spain
?to the Luneta. At many nolnts along
the route the crowd cheered Jieartily
'as the floats passed and the students
: of Liceo de Manila came in for a large
amount of applause as they executed
a number of military movements.
The procession down Calle Bagum-

bayan was headed by a lone bearer of
a banner with the inscription "Ay
Rizal." He was several rods in front
of the regular line or parade and evi
dently was having a parade by him
self. Then came the mounted detach
ment of police in charge of Corporal
Harper which cleared the street and
regulated the thousands of vehicles
that thronged the thoroughfare. Fol
lowing Corporal Harper come a mount
ed detachment of natives in command
of Senor Sytiar, all .wearing red sashes
and representing the society of May-pag-Asa.
The next in line was the
banner of Balagates ana several com
panies of boys In uniform accompanied
with music. "
The exhibit of Cabayan followed. It
was headed with a float upon which
was a coffin decorated in white and
drawn by a bevy ot native girls, fol
lowed by the Tondo school, the boys
of the school being in white uniforms
with blue trimmings.
The display of "La Rosa" cigar and
cigarette factory was next in line.
The first float of "La Rosa" consisted
of a monument of Dr. Jose Rizal
drawn by four white ponies, with four
native girls seated at the base of the
monument arrayed in gorgeous colors.
The monument - was followed by a
band playing a funeral dirge and the
employes of the "La Rosa" factory.
Mr. Bryan spoke as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: I esteem
it a rare privilege to witness and take
part in this occasion. A despot once
expressed a wish that all mankind had
but one neck, that hQ 'night sever that
neck by a single blow. Happily his
crUel wish was not realized. But I
think I can say all Filipino people
have but.one heart and I can hear that
heart beating today.
, "Monuments and memorial davs
testify truly to the merits of the living
as well as to the virtues of the dead.
It is not given to all of us to be he
roes; it is not given to all of us to do
work in this way; but it is possible
for all of us to show appreciation for
the work that has been done it is
possible for us to pay homage to great
ness, and while there is but one hero
in our thoughts and in our hearts there
are tens of thousands or people today
who do him homage and say: 'As he
was we would wish to be.'
"You meet today upon a spot hal
lowed by a martyr's Wood and you
have listened to lessons drawn from
Ms me. l can not hope to aspire to J
be classed with thoso who havo spok
en for they are knit to the hero by
ties which do not stretch across the
ocean; and yet as a mountain peak
is seen many miles away, this stu
pendous man has reacned such a
height that we have seen and know
of him.
"If you will permit me to draw one
lesson from the life of Rizal, I will
say that ho presents an example of
a great mind consecrated to his coun
tiy's welfare. He, though dead, is a
living rebuke to "the scholar who sel
fishly enjoys the privileges of an am
ple education and does not impart
the bonefits"of it'to his rellows.
"His example is worth an immeas
urable sum to the people of these isl
ands, to the child who reads of him,
to the young and to tne old. They
should all be Inspired ry what he did,
by his noble thoughts and noble deeds.
He has proved by liia example that he
who writes upon the hearts of men
leaves his inscription on tables more
durable than stone. Ho teaches not
only the people of the Philippine isl
ands, but the people of all the world
that achievements of the heart are
worth much more than the achieve
inents of the mind.
"It is not possible to have monu
ments reared over the remains of
every mortal being; this is reserved
for the few. Of all tne millions of
the human race, tout few resting
places are marked by a memorial
nionuirent, but it is possible for every
human being to build for himself a
monument in the hearts of the people
which will stand when all the monu
ments of stone and granite have
crumbled to decay."
During the delivery of Mr. Bryan's
address and after he concluded, the
applause which it elicited was a fit
compliment to the orator's effort.
Succeeding Mr. Bryan and as a
closing number of the program, came
the address of Acting Governor Gen
eral Ide. The following is the address
of the chief executive:
"Fellow Countrymen: I include in
the term 'fellow countrymen' all here
present, Filipinos and Americans, who
owe allegiance to the flag of the Uni
ted States of 'America. This is not
a fitting occasion for a discussion of
the events which have given me the
right thus to address you. We are
not now dealing with the past, which
contains many things that may be
looked upon with the utmost satis
faction, many things that cause only
sorrow and regret. The impartial his-
