Mrs. Craven Wishes to Intervene in the
Probate of the Document.
San Francisco, May 1.-THE James
G. Fair will case came up in the su-
perior court again to-day, the occasion
being the arguing of Mrs. Craven
Fairs petition for leave to intervene
in the contest filed by Charles l.. Fair
to the pencil will. This matter has
gone over several times. but to-day it
came to a head and it will be continued
tomorrow. Mrs. Craven wishes to in
tervene in the probate. Mrs. Craven's
intervention is therefore to protect her
interests as the alleged widow of the
mining millionaire. T~o attorneys for
the executors, who oppose Mrs. Cra-
ven's claims, argue that if she is Fairs
widow, the citation of Charles Fair was
faulty and there was really no legal
contest to the probate of the will.

they will remain out until their differences
have been satisfactorily adjusted. Several

The ncapacity Of the Filipinos for
self-goyernment was well illustrated by
their inopportune and reckless attack
on Manila. They must be sadly lack
ing IN judgment to suppose that we
should be deferred from ratifying the
peace treaty by such a demonstration
We are not in the habit of Withdrawing
under fire. What we might have been
inclined to do, as a matter OF generosi-
ty, we certainly would not have felt
like doing while our troops at Manila
We're being attacked To defeat the
treaty then would have been equal to
saying that we were afraid of our ad-
versary. 1t was out of the question
entirely. And if this was folly. what
shall we say Of the mad rush ofpoorly
armed barbarians against thousands
OF well-disciplined troops supported
by fleet Of war vessels? The only
explanation is that our tolerant course
had caused the belief that we were
actuated by fear.

1t is a good deal easier to predict
what will be done with the Philippines
that to toresee what ought to be done
with them. We have very little doubt
that the American flag will continue to
wave with full significance over these
islands for long time, if not forever
With all the sentimental associations
that surround them, it will be impossi-
bic to withdraw from them without
displeasing a very large portion OF our
own people. They may not be worth
any more inrinsically than as if we
had not won three glorious battles of
Manila, but our people DO not look at
it that way. As well say that Bunker
Hill is no better than any other knoll.
A sentimental value attaches to things
which have witnessed valor ana blood
shed which cannot be measured in dol
lars. And sentiment yet rules this sor-
did country.

When Jefferson promulgated the doe
trine that "all men are born free and
equal he was holding several hum
dred human beings as slaves. His
other famous declaration that "gov-
eminent derives it, just powers only
from the consent ofthe governed"needs
qualification to make it acceptable as a
basic principle. 1t presupposes that
the governed" are capable, in some
degree, at least, of self-government.
Otherwise, why not allow all human
beings an equal voice in the matter2
Why delegate the power to the male
citizens Of sound mind over twenty-one
years OF age and exclude all the rest,
who are equally among the governed?
Let us mix little common sense with
