What frightens me as a Filipino is the knowledge that those American 'captains of industry' who have millions invested in the Philippines are also heavy contributors to the campaign chest of the Republican Party. In the name of God, Members of the American Congress, I beseech you to give us our independence before the Philippines, like the 'Teapot Dome' and the naval oil lands, are donated to campaign contributors whose mouths are watering for our golden natural resources...
...miser, waddling slowly homeward, to ease his crusted conscience by tossing a dime for a beggar to waste in drink and debauchery. Such philanthropy is pleasant but it is not blessed by efficiency.

All that happened was that Father-in-law Fall paid off some debts on the old homestead. Commenting last week on his son-in-law's so belated testimony, Father...
...provided his production remains up to the mark, he will be hard put to it to find a subject for biographical portrait painting. For with the spread of democracy, says Dr. Ludwig, there will no longer be any first class geniuses.
