WEDNESDAY
EVENING,
The fact is that we drove Spain out of the Philip
pines, just as we drove h4r out of Cuba. We did not
pines, Just as. we drove her out of Cuba. We did not re
tain control of Cuba because we believed the Cubans cap
able of organizing and^conducting a civilized government
of their own. Because we did not believe that there was
enough civilized people in the Philippines to maintain
an orderly government there we prepared to remain un
til further notice. We were not required to pay Spain
anything. We could, without violating any law of na
tions, have required Spain to compensate us in money
for the cost of the war. But, while we had fought Spain,
and vanquished her, we, had no unkindly feeling toward
her. Tlie decadent state of the nation was reflected In
the condition of the Spanish troops, but, in striking con
trast to what has been noted among the Germans, there
was found among the Spaniards a spirit of sportsman
ship which won our admiration even while we were ad
ministering castigatibn.
Spain had suffered greatly in loss of territory, power
and prestige, and there was in this country no disposi
tion to crowd her to thp wall. Hence, not only Was
there no demand for war indemnities, but our govern
ment agreed—and the adt was very generally approved
hy the people—in taking over the government of the
Philippines, to pay Spain a fair price for the' actual
property that we took over with the government, and
which had been ^rightfully owned by Spain. This prop
erty included public buildings, Wharf and harbor im
provements, and the like, which had been built by the
Spanish government, and which were needed in our ad
ministration of affairs. The price of this property was
lixed at twenty millions, and we paid the money willing'
ly. But-we bought neither Philippines nor Filipinos.
RAPID ACTION
i: Mention is frequently made of the ready respon
siveness of the British parliamentary system to public
Opinion. We are just now having another illustration
oj this. General elections were held throughout the
United Kingdom on December 14, This was for the elec.
tjon of a new house of commons. On January 21 the
new members will meet, the house will organize and pro
ceed to business. Thus the people, in the election of
their representatives, have declared themselves on the
issues which they regard as important, and within six
weeks an administration, having its mandate direct from
the people, will be at work.
The illustration is less striking than' it would have
been had the existing administration been defeated and
a new one elected on a platform involving radical de
partures from the .course which has -been followed or
jft-oposed. /As it is, the Lloyd George government has
been sustained, as was expected, and it'will proceed with
the carrying out of policies to which it has beeni com-
and which are generally understood. But in
'either event, we have a situation in which the will of
the people is given effect within a very short time, and
the time could have beefS made much shorter had there
been any occasion for shortening it.
In contrast we have our own case. In the first week
-j- In November we elected a new house of representatives.
But the members then elected will not take their seats,
unless called in extraordinary session, until the first week
In December, 1919, just thirteen months after their elec
tion. In the meantime the old house is in its closing
session, doing business on the basis of the election of
two years ago, and without reference to any expression
at the polls at the last election. Under no circumstances

PHILIPPINES WERE HOT BOUGHT
In a recent article discussing peacc settlements, past
and prospective, the statement is made that the -United
Statfes purchased the Philippines from Spain at the close
of. our recent war with our former neighbor. This Is
distinctly an error, although it is an error of the sort
that was made at the time of the settle.ment, and which
was persisted in, largely for political effect, for some
time thereafter. The United States did pay Spain the
sum of $20,000,000, and the assertion was quite common
in this country that we had bought the sovereignty of
the Philippines, with their eight billion inhabitants.
People who read political .literature or attended political
meetings in the summer,of 1900 can easily recall such
statements as that whereas the price of a slave before
the Civil war often ran about $l,000r the United States
had bought the Filipinos at the rate of $2.50 a head.'

HAPPY NEW YEAH
The year 1918 will go down In history as the last of a
fateful group of years, beginning with 1914, the year
which ushered in the great world war. And the world
will remember the last"" year of the period as that in
which the fate of*humanity hung for a moment trembling
in the balance, with right and justice at length prevail
ing, and the realization of peace coming to a tortured
and afflicted people.
The old year, whose sands have now been run,
marked the high tide, and the utter collapse, of the moat
threatening assault ever made on the liberties or man-
.. ...
it as the year of fate, of destiny. It was t}»e year in
which right triumphed over brute strength, ahd in whieh
there was brought into cleared view and better unoer
standing the brotherhood and comradeship of man.
We approach the new year with vast and intricate
problems awaiting solution. President men chosen for
their wisdom and fitness- will assemble to compare the
views which have been formed in their own minds, and
to undertake the great work of readjustment and re
habilitation. That is a work requiring wisdom, patience
and tact. To those who have suffered wrong somfe meas
ure of recompense must be given. From those who have
committed wrong some measure .of reparation must oe
exacted. New nations are to be created, ahd the relations
of existing nations, with cach other are to be defined.
While these problems confront our wisest statesmen
famine stalks abroad throughout half the world, and the
affair? of millions of men and women are thrown into
utter confusion, ihe'ir homes, their lives and their posses,
sions are endangered by the destruction among,them of
that orderly government without which human society
cannot exist, and it must be the part of those who are

It is unfortunate when a public man of recognized
character and ability permits his strong feeling in rela
tion to one issue to inject into it matters belonging ex
clusively to another, for in so doing he weakens his po
sition on both issues. That is what Senator Chamberlain
does when, in insisting, very properly, on the best possi
ble cape for our wounded men, and the best possible «r
rangements for the demobilization of our forces, he
lumps that question with the manner in which settlement
is 4# be made with those who have had either regular or
informal contracts with the government for war supplies.
Mr. Chamberlain suggests that if the war department
were to pay half the attention to the handling of its re-
turning troops that it does to forcing through congrcss ^thleVc®'

"protect contractors who made contracts
for war supplies over the telephone in violation of law,"
That statement does not belong in the discussion
which Mr. Chamberlain has undertaken, and were tne
speaker to make it in any discussion he would not be
doing himself or others justice. Contracts for war sup
plies may have been made in violation of law. It is cer
tain that many of them were without the specific sanc
tion of Jaw, and without the following of all the forms
provided by law. And if this had not been done, instead

Contracts were let, formally or informally the goods

war or, what amounts to the same thing for this purpose,
the. signing of the armistice, found some .contracts not

government had no further need for the supplies and or

passed the emergency the government shall take advan

necessarily a party to evade payment for goods honestly
made and faithfully delivered That would be the effect
of the course proposed by those who oppose the legisla
tion, or something like it, asked for by the war depart
ment.
All necessary steps should be taken to prevent fraud
and extortion. But, whatever the method employed, the
government must deal justly and honorably with those
who have served it in^-its time of neea, both with those
who have served on the field and in the trenches, and
those who have seized in the factory and the counting

accomplishments of the
1918 season are worth chronicling.
The year was marked by conditions
unlike any of previous times. The
world-wide lull in public maneuvers
armistice iwas signed an# several
others were hanging on the ropes
when the Huns gave in.
Trapshooting was not irieither
class. It* was the one sport developed
by this war. This, however, wis only
natural. When the United States got
•active in the scrap many who never
before had handled firearms took up
trapshooting to„ "learn to shoot" and
thift caused trapshooting. to become
known as the "patriotic sport" and the
"sport with a purpose."
Was Big Shooting Year.
All -things considered, trapshooting
had a big year. There weren't as
many targets thrown as in some other
years, not as many shoots were held,
but that was to be expected. Trap
shooters by the thousands went off
with the colors, many clubs were
wrecked, but in the shoots that did
take place the average was beyond
any year in the/history of the sport,
excepting one.
The Interstate Trapshooting associ
ation registered 415 tournaments, of
which 365'were held. The Interstate
association is to trapshooting what the
United States Golf association is to
golf, what the A. A. U. is to amateur
and. wJjat
the Lawn Tennis
association is to tennis. It con
tributed to 263 tournaments to the
extent of $24,850. In the 365 tourna
ments, 5,164,949 targets were thrown,
an average of 14,160. These tourna
ments do not take in club and leakue'j

Humanities in Education
Reconstruction is a word which one
hears and sees often these days. Not
only is there to be. reconstruction of
states, cities. Industries and homes de
stroyed by the war, but the war, some
people would have us believe, has
shown that'many of the institutions
and practices of civilized society ar'e
either useless or inadequate, and
these also must be reconstructed, in
dustry is to be reconstructed. The
church is to be reconstructed. Educa
tion is to be reconstructed.
Our teachers and professors have
been singularly stupid, according to
this view, and radical changes must
be piade in education. One calnnot
read what some teachers are saying,
and what appears In the educational
journals without the conclusion that
thereJis already a considerable amount
of hysteria on this subject, with dan
ger that there will be much more. It
is certain to be expressed in every
educational convention for some time
to come. We are destined to hear the
most wonderful arguments for the re
construction of educational systems
and suggestions for bringing/it about.
At last we are to have the miracle of
a system of education from bottom to
top that will finally fit every one pass
ing through the schools into precisely
the niche he should occupy, and no
mistake. This will be accomplished by
scientific perception of capacity an9
unerring efficiency in choice of meth
ods and subjects.
We should keep our heads, and be
careful, too, to keep our. schools until
we are sure we have better ones. Some
disappointments are in store. The
churches will still have To reckon
with the Old Adam of human nature,
and the schools, as in the past so in
the future, will have a mentality to
worlv upon containing a large alloy
of intractability. To. adopt Professor
Smiley's remark at the recent con

most necessary that we all co-operatc together for the upbuilding
of our city and state. Great changes a're taking place all over the

changeth. The world will be a different place in which to live and
