Iilinois, under the Act of March 3, 1879. \ In contemplating the ‘Christmas thought, it should always be remembered that, according to the traditional story, the thing that theâ€"angels sang about was "Peace on Earth." This was a reflection of the sentiment and the sufferitig of those cruel days, the realization that the thing that human nature most longed for was freedom from war and conflict. es esn oo Human nature has not changed so very:radigofly in all these years, and still through our quarrelsomeâ€"world, the people ask for this relief from the wickedness and follyâ€"of war. They ask it not merely in international affairs, but they want to get rid of the spirit of warfare in all their business and industrial relaâ€" tions. ' : it The Christmas message, then, is not mereli one of personal joy and friendliness, but it is a summons to the people to stop their unâ€"Christian conflicts, and learn the ways of peace and mutual coâ€"operation.. A There arrived in Washington the other day a group of indiâ€" viduals who seek to secure for the Filipinos their independence. This body of men, known as the Special Independence commisâ€" sion, are frank in stating that their purpose here is to try and persuade congress to grant their independence. They will no doubt issue propagarda and circulate it throughout the United States. There is a ve doubt in the minds of many legal exâ€" gerts as to the right of congress to grant independence to the hilippines. In the qpinion of many the only way that the Philâ€" ippines can be ted from the United States is by the adopâ€" tion of a constitutional amendment, because sovereignty does not rest in congress but in the people. If one will read the Constiâ€" tution it will be seen that the framers of that document did not intend that congress should have such powers. In fact, in 1788, the time of the Virginia Constitutional Convention, such an amendment failed of adoption. â€" lcfi & e Whether or not the Filipinos have arrived at a point where they can properly govern themselves is questioned by many. In addition to that there remairis the legal phase of the question. â€" Perfection may not exist in this world, but so far as a governâ€" ment can give liberty and protection to a people, in conjunction with freedom of thoxght and action, the United States has gone further than any other country. _ _ _ . .~ _ â€" .. t _ _._True Americans should be thankful this Christmas season for a government which makes it possible for us as a people to develop and enjoy the spiritual and material advantages which are ours. _ | se oigaee oc s ooo Prosperity and h&p’pims have come to this nation as the reâ€" sult of a minimumâ€"of government coupled with a maximum of individual opportunity. This is in distinct contrast to the hardâ€" ships, suffering and lack of advantages which exist in countries having a maximum of government that stifles individual opporâ€" tunity. fs c o R dapats , ' “Let us keep lour countfy free from any experiment which would tend to radically change our time tested system of governâ€" ment wi}h its unequaled record of blessings and Advantages for the people. . n | F s ied lished weekly ‘by The Udell Printing Co. at Highland Park, P« %’Lm County, Hlinois â€" 9Â¥ CGUARANTEED TWENTYâ€"FOUR HOURS OLD Delivered to Your Door _ ‘ : | _ MODERN PLUMBING AND HEATING | â€" Estimates Cheerfully Given.
