DANGER QF THE PHILIPPINES
It doesn't take much sense to under
' stand that the real reason why the
president is worried alftmt the inannev
in which California is legislating
? against the Japanese is on account of
the Philippines.
If we didn't have the 'Philippine
islands to take care of is there any one
who would think for a minute that it
would he necessary to worry about
what Japan might think^of the legis
lation of California or of Nevada? If
we were not loaded up with the islands
the coast states might pass all the sep
arate school laws their legislators
wanted to pass and it would never raise
the fear of a war with Japan. If Japan
did not like the way her citizena..were
treated in the matter of school privileges
in this country the said citizens could
go back home, but there would be no
talk even, of war. Japan couldr not
come across the ocean to bombard Han
Francisco or any other Pacific coast
town.
13 ut so long as we have control of the
Philippine islands there is a constant
danger of trouble. Not that the Japs
are hankering for a war with this
country . ' They have* too much sense
for that. Not that they are afraid to
fight even the United States, "'but bt
cause they have not the money. How
ever, the Japs understand our weakness
in the matter of the Philippine island?*
They could send an army and navj{
over there big enough to take thci.
islands in a week or two weeks at the.
farthest and then we would have a long
hard fight to get then back again.
We have no doubt that in the course
of time we could wear' Japan out. We
have the men and the' inoiney, but it
would cost us 8 billion dollars and no
body knows how many men. The
Philippine islands will always lx) a
source of weakness to this country.
The chances are three to one that sooner
or later they will involve us in a war.
If China and Japan ever get together
and China gets a modern up-to-date
government with such a military goveri>
ment as is altogether possible and
probable, the two of them, China and
Japan can take the Philippine islands'
away from us whether we like it or not
if it is possible to get rid of them,
honorably, that is the thing to do.
It makes us sore to think of the hun
dreds of millions of dollars we have
?spent and are spending on islands 7,000
miles from home find on a canal that
?may or may not bo of any great benefit
Jtw us after it is dug, when the same
money might have been sjnmt in im
proving our own rivers, in cutting in
terior canals, in building wagon roads
and in taking stops to prevent the
damages from flood v/aters that now
cause damages that can hardly l>e com
puted in dollars and cents.
If we had as much sense as wo blow
alNiut having wo would keep our money
at home, develop our internal resources,
stop building vast warship* which we
have no need for except to defend our
foreign possessions; cut down our stand
ing ariny to the force required for police
protection; turn a lot of shoulder strap
ped dudes loose with the injunction to
gam their bread in some line of peaceful
and legitimate business; cut down the i
appropriations for army and navy from ?
more than a quarter of a billion every ;
year to about ten million.
But we are not going to have sense
enough to do that. We will strut and
talk about oar destiny and the necessity
| of maintaining our prestige as a world
' power and spend hundreds of millions
i annually on ships and military equip
j inent and finally get into a war that
will cost 8 or 4 billions of dollars and
(maybe a quarter million lives. ? Mail

The Modern Way.
"Advertisements on the scenery!"
exclaimed the star. "That's carrying
commercialism really too far."
"It isn't commercialism," exclaimed
the manager. "We want the scene to
look like a real meadow, don't we?" ?
