SHAFROTH’S DEATH
MOURNED BY FILIPINOS
A wave of sorrow swept over the
Philippine Islands with the announce
ment *of the death of a proven friend,
former United States Senator John F.
Shafroth of Colorado.
It was Senator Shafroth who pilot
ed the now famous Jones law promis
l ing independence upon the establish-
I ment of a stable government, through
the upper branch of the American
Congress.
The fathering of this measure so
dear to the hearts of Filipinos was
probably of no personal political ad
vantage t*o Senator Shafroth in his
home state; perhaps it did not win
him a single additibnal vote, because
of the lack of personal interest of Ins
constitutents. Yet if the Senator had
been receiving a fee of a million dol
lars he could not have taken greater
pains or given more generously of his
time and talents than he did in look
ing after this legislation. He was
never too busy to receive Filipinos
who came to discuss the measure with
him. “It is my pleasure as well as
my duty to help you.” it was his cus
tom to say.
It can not be truthfully said, how
ever. that Senator Shafroth’s work
went without reward. No honest
effort to extend the empire of human
freedom has ever been in vain.
V hatever their detractors may say,
’•'ilipinos are humans. They appre
ciate their friends. Senator Shaf
roth’s memory will survive forever in
the hearts and histories of the far-off
Philippine*.—Philippine Press Bulle
tin, issued by the- Philippine Govern
ment.
