The Philippines.
It Is not a propitious time for introducing
in Congress the question of independent
government for the Filipinos.
Surely with the Mexican question, the
Panama canal question, the trust question,
and other questions in hand, summer
here, and congressional campaigns
approaching, there is enough, and to
spare, on the card.
And yet Mr. Jones of Virginia is conferring
with the President about presenting
the Philippine question to the
House, and getting a line on what the
President desires.
There is a good deal of huggermugger
about this business. Xobodv in this
country with any information on the subject
believes that the Filipinos as a peovd*
ara or soon will be. ready for an In
dependent government of any kind, and
least of all a republican form of government.
They are-well off now, and their
governmental condition is constantly improving.
It may be said that they are in
a state of training for taking over the
control of their own affairs. The Philippine
question proper relates to the
length of the tutelage.
When Uncle Sam withdraws from the
islands it should be forever, and in circumstances
warranting the fullest confidence
on his part and on the part of the
European and Asiatic powers in what
he is leaving behind. Should failure result,
and such bloody chaos as Mexico
has been experiencing for several years,
our shame and responsibility would be
very great.
The advice of American soldiers and
civilians who have served in the islands
and studied the people and the situation
at close range is that we should move
slowly in the premises. Haste would
mean waste and disaster, bearing on the
Filipinos more heavily than on ourselves.
To turn over such a rich and tempting
territory as the Philippine archipelago to
a population unequal to its management
as a problem of government would be a
crime against civilization and an inexcusable
shirking of duty on our part.
In case of failure?and failure would be
certain?we should have to return and restore
order. If we did not, some other
great power would undertake the work,
and after performing it would insist on
making terms for the future, and those
terms would not have our interests in
view.
Why then at this time, or at any time
soon, take any action likely to inspire
hopes in the hearts of Filipino politicians
beyond the power of realization? Independence
at an early day is not on the
horizon, and cannot be put there by stump
speeches, or by societies talking in millennialistic
terms. The Filipinos as a
people are not now qualified to administer
ordered liberty, and the liberty
we are administering for them is something
infinitely better than anything they
have hitherto known.
Experience and Congress.
Mr. Cummins has worn his race for renomination
handily. It seems altogether
likely he will be re-elected. He is closing
his first term as one of the recognized
leaders on the republican side of
the Senate, and of course if continued in
office will be of much service to his party
here. He will not have to tarry in Jericho
for his beard to grow.
Iowa has profited by keeping proved
men long in commission. Mr. Allison
had a career of eminent usefulness in
the Senate covering many years. James
Wilson served long and well there. John
H. Gear followed, and was well established
when death took him. The same
was true of Mr. Dolliver?a. brilliant man.
In the House Mr. Henderson, after a
number of terms, reached the speakership.
Mr. Kasson. Mr. Lacey, Mr.
t'ousins. Mr. Hepburn, and another James
Wilson provod their quality, and kept
their places for years.
Iowa, indeed, for half a century, has
been a power in Congress. In both
houses her sons have stood among the
most capable and influential. Whether
on field days in showy debate, or In the
more taxing work of committee rooms.
Iowa men have made their mark.
At sixty-four Mr. Cummins is in full
stride, dean, strong and capable and
good for much more hard work. To the
issues now uppermost in national affairs
he has given attention, and helped shape
some of them. The tariff, the trusts
and the railroads are in his Una so to
say.
?a state, his party and the nation
will benefit by his continuance In the
national legislature.
Science claims to have discovered that
the ancient Egyptians played something
like base ball. But what could
base ball have been without Waiter
Johnson or Ty Cobb?

In order to be the right-hand man of
a pre-eminent financier it is sometimes
necessary to be also something of a
strong-arm performer.
Perhaps John Early Is afflicted with !
something that radium will positively

The White Home Manner.
Col. E. M. House of Texas, a very
worthy gentleman and premier of Mr.
Wilson's kitchen cabinet, is traveling in
Europe. Unlike Mr. Bryan, the premier
of the other cabinet, he can take a
\aeat?on without arousing protest or any
sort of criticism.
In Berlin the other day, where he was
presented to the kaiser. Col. House submitted
to an interview about American
politics and said some handsome things
about his chief, whose success in office be
confidently predicts. This paragraph from
the interview is taken from a cable report:
"President Wilson's reputation of cold
impersonality is due to a certain Scotch
reserve which he maintains. He lacks
the slapping-on-the-back traits of many
politicians who play to the grandstand.
1 never met a public man who was more
intelligent. This intelligence, combined
with patriotism, is what has enabled
President Wilson to handle the Mexican
situation in the proper manner."
It so happens that we have never had
H baxksh^ier in the office of President.
Probably the man of .heartiest address
who ever occupied the White House was
Gen. Garfield. He was a warm-blooded
man. had served in the House of Representatives
a long time, where his many
familiars had called him "Jim"; and promotion
to the presidency did not change
his tastes or address. All the others have
been of soberer mood in company, and
some have been criticised for austerity.
The early Presidents fashioned themselves
somewhat on. Washington, who
played the part in the grand manner.
Even Jackson, who was altogether of
different lexfure, rose to the White House
surroundings and precedents in a style
very impressive for a backwoodsman. He
was as far as could be from a backslapper.
Among the later Presidents, Mr. Cleveland
and Gen.* Harrison were much criticised
for their ipanner. Mr. Cleveland
was described as unresponsive, and Gen.
Harrison as positively icebergish. The
friends of both men, however, objected;
and the friends of Gen. Harrison declared
that, as a matter of fact, he was
one of the most sympathetic of men.
Gen. Arthur and Mr. MrKinlev. while
in no degree familiar, were irresistible
in personal intercourse, and carried their
personal manner to the White House. Gen.
Arthur's address was of the eastern, Mr.
McKlnley's of the middle states variety.
Gen. Arthur was a club man, with an
abundance of entertaining small talk;
Mr. McKinley a politician, with an abundance
of general information. Both were
as attractive as listeners as talkers. Both
knew the occupants of the political grandstands
and how to catch their fancy, but
neither ever tried to catch it by pothouse
capers or lingo.
Mr. Wilson is losing nothing by refraining
from backslapping. In fact, a President
who should imitate the ordinary canvasser
for votes would lose everything.
When a man is called to the White
House he must play the part in his best
style, free alike from freezing or from
familiarity.
At Arlington Today.
Today's ceremonies at Arlington are
especially impressive through the participation
in the dedication of the Confederate
memorial of veterans of the Federal
armies of the civil war. The monument
is specifically in memory of the
women of the south and it symbolises
the deep reverence which the people of
the south feel for those who at home
during the long struggle bore so heavy
a burden of sorrow and suffering and
sacrifice. It embodies an inspiring sentiment
which appeals to the national feeling
regardless of the fact that the shaft
is the product of the enterprise of the
Confederate veterans.
This is undeniably a reunited country.
Northern and southern Interests are today
identical and in an infinite variety
of ways the two sections have been knit
together so firmly that never again can
they be sundered by any conceivable political
difference. The civil war settled
definitely the principle of union and the
smith has accented the verdict in a man
ner to leave no question as to its sincerity
and its determination to remain
permanently true to the flag that now
waves from coast to coast and boundary
to boundary. This sentiment dominates
whenever the blue and the gray
meet on such occasions as that of today,
and the ceremonies at Arlington thus
serve an admirable purpose in demonstrating
to the world that the wounds of
warfare have healed.
The monument itself is a beautiful addition
to the memorials at Arlington,
which has become now in the broadest
sense a national valhalla. Located in
southern soil, it is appropriate that at
Arlington should be tributes to the bravery
of the men who, devoted to the
cause that they believed to be just, gave
their lives on the field of battle, and now
in this monumental tribute to the women
who sustained them during the four bitter
years of strife the national cemetery
assumes a new importance and interest.
Independence Say Fireworks.
Announcement is made that the extent
of the fireworks program of Independence
day in connection with the civic celebration
is dependent upon the response
made by the public to the invitation to
subscribe. This feature of the occasion
is always enjoyed by a great multitude
of people and it is appropriate that
thoBe who get the benefit of the display
should bear its cost. Public subscriptions
for such a purpose are always difficult
to bring to success because everybody
expects everybody else to give and
frequently it happens that nobody gives
as much as is needed. It should not.
however, be impossible to raise enough
i on this occasion to provide a satisfaci
tory pyrotechnic exhibition, to cap the
| day's proceedings in a spectacular and
I characteristic manner.
Independence day without some sort
ot fireworks seems tame and unsatisfactory.
When the movement was made
to rescue the day from the barbarism
of the old mode of celebration there was
no desire to divorce it entirely from pyrotechnics,
the purpose being to protect
the people from the consequences of the
careless handling of explosives. Indeed,
it is altogether desirable to maintain
the tradition by closing the national
| birthday with a grand display which will
give pleasure to many thousands, and so
I it is to be hoped that the committee's ap!
peal for funds will meet with immediate
j and liberal response. The dimes of thou|
sands will make dollars enough to insure
a big program of fireworks, and all who
are Interested In the preservation of this
feature of the occasion should move at
once to give the committee sufficient
funds to permit a timely letting of contracts.
Washington's beautiful parks with their
facilities for outdoor enjoyment are rapidly
making a summer stay in the nation's
capital a privilege instead of the
penalty Congress once considered it.
When a tong war is threatened in New
York the Chinese outlaws claim a certain
amount of credit by refraining from involving
the police in their affairs anymore
than is absolutely necessary.
Ornithology experts are not prepared to
say Just what would happen if the dove
of peace were to make an effort to swallow
the Monroe doctrine.
When summer Is fairly under way the
Washington ball club makes for the top
of the column as naturally as the mercury
itself.
Street Safety Work.
The Street Safety Association of this
city is doing excellent work in securing
the services of a woman lecturer who is
showing the people of Washington some
of the ill effects of street carelessness
by means of lantern slides ahd motion
pictures. This propaganda for the preservation
of human life is an important
development of the past year and deserves
the fullest encouragement on the
part of the public. Mrs. McCall's lectures
have been instrumental In arousing interest
in various cities in the matter of
street safety and here in Washington,
where during the past twelve months
the subject has been brought to the point
of organized discussion, a good start has
been secured which her talks will now
very materially facilitate.
Street safety is obtainable, but it requires
persistent educational effort to
teach both children and adults how to
use the thoroughfare#. The habit of the
1 careless crossing and use of the streets
acquired in past years is not to be corrected
quickly, but in a work of this kind
small gains are valuable and there Is an
unmistakable improvement in the local
situation since the organization of the
association which has kept the subject
alive before the people. Through the
wise regulation of traffic and the training
of children to keep out of the streets save
in cases of necessity and the teaching of
habits of carefulness on the part of
grown-ups In their use of the thoroughfares
Washington can be made a safe
city, in which accidents will be rare.
As railway president Mr. Mellen acquired
a competency which enables hira
to give out some very interesting reading
matter without compensation from
the magazines.
The governship of New York looks to
iotne of Col. Roosevelt's admirers like
a chance for excitement that he should
not be permitted to overlook.
Some of London's militant suffragettes
are growing so desperate that they may
yet be found engaging automobiles and
appearing as gunladies.
A small stockholder in a smashed
railway does not even get credit fot
being a picturesque and dashing

If there could be such a thing as a

SHOOTING STARS.
BT FH1T.ANDER JOHNSON.
At ft Disadvantage.
"There's nothing like health as a
source of happiness."
"Oh. I don't know." replied the contradictory
man. "I'm so notoriously
healthy that I never get any encouragement
at all to ask for sick leave*."
Admirable Aviation.
The butterflies 'neath summer skies
Now drift along, a merry troop.
They float with ease upon tne oreeze
And never try to loop the loopWith
Limitations.
"You are in favor of government ownership?"
"With, certain limitations." replied Mr.
Dustln Stax. "I'd welcome an arrangement
by which the government would be
pledged to buy any of my property that
I'm tired of trying to run."
The Serene Egotist.
"You sometimes disagree with these
scientific experts?"
"Not at all," replied the serene egotist.
"Notwithstanding the fact that I have
thought - matter out to a sound conclusion.
they frequently Insist on disagreeing
with me." Not
a Permanent Conviction.
"Do you think there is any such thing
as justifiable homicide?"
"Not really. I Just feel that way once
in a while at a ball game when the umpire
gives a rank decision."
The Sea Sweepers.
There was an old lady who swept back
the sea
And she was as busy as busy could be.
We laughed to observe her industrious
style.
But she kept at her task with a song
and a smile.
"It'8 better," said she.
"To work, you'll agree,
And it pleases my fancy to sweep
back the sea."
A neighbor of hers gathered fabulous
gain.
He sought for repose, but the quest was
in vain.
He coveted fame with ambition sincere,
But for every good word came a critical
sneer.
"Dear Madam," said he
In a manner quite free,
"You are wasting your time as you
sweep back the sea."
"Ho! Ho!" she made answer. "You toil
year by year,
'Mid the ebb and flow of despair and
good cheer.
Your task is like mine, only hardly so
wise,
Since I get the fresh air and some fine
exercise.
And he answered, "Ah, me!
If you like. I will be
Your partner and help you to sweep
back the sea!"
Roosevelt's Opportunity.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Those who fancy that Col. Roosevelt is
the only personification of the hope
necessary to unite the opposition
to democracy in 191t> are providing
a very narrow margin for success.
To assume that the nation is thus poverty
stricken in its presidential timber, is
"rough on" American manhood. Public
opinion in our country Is undoubtedly
progressive, but It does not want progress
of tire hysterical and "hair-trigger"
type, which will leave the country's second
condition worse than the first. If
the friends and followers of Col. Roosevelt
wish him to have a stable place in
history, they will urge him to rest on
his laurels, and cease to be the stormy
petrel of our politics.
Wild Birds and Unsettled Law.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
A curious anomaly has arisen in connection'
with. the praiseworthy effort of
Congress to protect wild birds against the
various species of the human game hog.
The Lacey act, passed in response to a
national demand, imposes certain restrictions
on hunters within the states,
the theory of this statute being that the
commerce clause of the federal Constitution
applies to migratory birds, whom
no particular state can claim as permanent
assets. The law has been attacked
in the courts, and while one district
judge, sitting at Jonesboro, Ark., has
denied its validity, another federal judge,
at Sioux Falls. S. D., has sustained It.
Wheat and Corn Crops.
From the Topeka State Journal.
If there is anything in the maxim
popular with tlie old-fashioned farmers
that a good wheat year means a poor
corn year, the corn crop, for 1914 Won't
amount to much in comparison with some
that have preceded it. But maybe this
is a rule that will be noted for its exception
this year. Here's hoping, anyhow.
Fighting the Caterpillar Pest.
From the Providence Journal.
Farmers and property owners In general
who attempt to combat the present
caterpillar pest have a right to be
disgruntled at the inactivity of their lasy
or reckless neighbors who do nothing to
diminish the nuisance. If a man clears
his trees of the worms, while they are
permitted next door to spread unmolested.
he naturally is discouraged and feels
like relinquishing his efforts.
Safety and Sanity.
From the Newark New*.
But one short month from now and
the agitation for a safe and sane Fourth
will be at its safe and sane height.
Locking the Door.
From the Boston Transcript.
The fellow who locked his door after
the theft of the horse has nothing on
the investigators of our marine disasters.
