ing the factionalism; step in and assume
the sovereignty itself anew, or turn the
protectorate and responsibility over to some
other nation with our best wishes. In any
event the result would be the same, the
end of Filipino self-government. A pro-
tectorate is but another word for ultimate
responsibility. A protectorate power is ac-
countable not only to it's proteges for their
own welfare, but to the world for the pres
ervation of peace and the protection of in
ternational trade and interests. There can
be no halfway ground. We must either
stand aside absolutely and wash our hands
of the whole business, haul down the flag
withdraw our troops and let the islands
absolutely alone to become bedlam or the
colony of some other power or we must
proceed along the lines now laid down,
establish our own sovereignty, educate the
people, make good government a fact, and
gradually evolve out of the remnants of
nationality left from centuries of Spanish
rule the substantial basis for an autono-
NOUS community.

From the Army and Navy journal,


The traitorous enemies of the admins
tratlon who have sought in every way to
block the efforts of the government to sup
press the Filipino insurrec ton, have at last
succeeded in making trouble for War De-
partrnent officials. 1t is learned from the
highest authority that the War Department
Is possessed of information showing that
certain alleged Americans residing in Hong
Kong were primarily responsible for the
detention of the transport Tartar. Not con-
tent with trying to arouse dissatisfacti ton
among the troops going to the Philippines,
they sought to embarrass the admins tra-
llon by trying to convince the discharged
soldiers on the Tartar that they had a
grievance and should get better accommo-
dations by having the British passenger
regulations applied to an American trans
port. The officials of the government have
been able to trace the Tartar trouble to
learned sufficient to convince the President
and Secretary of War that the soldiers re-
celved advice from outside sources before
they complained that the Tartar was over
crowded These same Filipino sympathiz-
ers then invoked the assistance of the Brit
ish authorities by claiming that the Tartar
was of British registry and should be de-
tained, as she carried more passengers
than allowed under the marine license All
or this made trouble for the government,
but 1t Is gratifying to know that the British
oincers were convinced that there was no
just cause for complaint, and allowed the
ship To proceed. The failure of the anti-ex-
pansionists to have over 400 American
troops dumped in Hong Kong to await the
arrival OF another transport has given to
the adminlstrat ton another proof that the
enemies OF the country have got closer to
the Aguina1do followers than they have
been In Boston and other cities,

Discussion, Not Resolutions,

Why resolutions of any kind by the Chi
cago Trust Conference? Discussion is the
thing, and will continue to be the thing
until the state legislatures. and Congress
if it shall again decide to do so, take up
the trust question. The country wants to
hear fully and frankly from those who
favor and those who oppose giant combina-
tions of capital without restriction in their
operations. AS to which side in the opinion
of those present may have won in any par
ticular debate is of no great consequence.
Let the debates be full and informing and
the vote which will count will be that cast
by legislative bodies in the framing Of
laws
In this matter of discussion the Chicago
conference has justified itself Some very
readable addresses have been delivered
there, and by men who command attention
They have shown, too how radically men
of large business experience and success
may differ on the subject. Ex-Gov. Foster
of Ohio. who was at one time the foremost
business man in fourishng state and a
political leader of national reputation, re-
CARDS trusts as natural and beneficent
development of business. He sees no men
ace in them to the public. On the other
hand. Gov. Pngree of Michigan, one of
and political leader of national reputa-
ton, sees the threat of industrial slavery
in such combinations. They must be check
ed. he insists. or the country will be ruined.
These two are not the ablest addresses
that have been delivered at the conference,
but they serve to show the difficulties of
the problem and the care necessary in
drafting legislation to meet it. Men who
have achieved signal success in business on
a large scale cannot be set down as dream
ers or doctrinares. And yet here are two
such men discoursing of trusts, and they are
as far apart as the poles. The one would
have nothing done to restrain them, while
the other would put a bit in their mouths
and manage them rider does his horse
Discussion is the thing. The more of it
the better before the time comes for ad-
dltional efforts in the way of legislation

keep to the right Of the center of the
street; no vehicle shall be so directed
against curb as to crowd any person on
bicycle against the curb or against
another vehicle or object in the street, OF
over an embankment or into a depression;
travel on the public streets shall be regu-
lated at all intersecting crossings by al
lowing the right Of way to those going
north and south.
The aforementioned of these regulations
is very generally disregarded and collisions
consequently are frequent at the street
crossings, where each of two approaching
bicyclists may believe that he has the right
of way. 1t is only through some such
arbitrary provision that these crossings can
be regulated and the rule should be en-
forced. The right and left rule, too, is ig-
nored, as well as that relating to the turn
ing of corners. There is a great deal of
carelessness and defiance of the rules on
the part of both wheelmen and drivers
The road hog is not yet an extinct
creature. although if these regulations were
to be given force through few arrests
and punishments the genus would doubt
less show signs of disappearance. The
other day in the Police Court a driver ac-
cused of violating the rule which prescribes
space of fifteen feet between each pair Of
loaded vehicles moving in procession was
discharged by the court on the ground that
1t would be unjust to punish that particu-
lar individual when the regulation was be-
ing generally and repea tedly violated. It
will be necessary, however. to make be-
ginning in the inflction Of the legal penal
ties II these violations are ever to cease, or
even to decrease in frequency.
