the world ever saw, had no time to make
money. Webster, the great expounder
of the constitution, was sued by his
butcher for his beef account and he
said, "sne me as often as you please,
but don't starve me to death; send
me some more beef" Byron wrote his

In spite OF the efforts of the single tax
ers. the legislature has passed blu sub
uniting a constitutional amendment to the
people. to be vo.sd upon at the next gen.
eral election. providing for the exemption
from taxation OF personal property to an
amount not exceeding $500 This Is
reasonable measure, and will undoubtedly
receive the approval Of a majority OF the
voters. With their usual short-Sighted
folly. the single takers undertook to amend
the bin ny making $500 the minimum
amount. leaving the fixing OF the maxi
mum amount TO the legislature. Had the
amendment prevailed the bill would have
been voted down by the people who ex-
pressed themselves upon the single tax
heresy very forclbly last fall.

By refusing TO adopt the Livingston
resolution in lieu Of those Offered By
Aessrs. Clark and Griggs. the Demo-
cratic caucus o. the house Of represen-
sativea has again made the sort OF a
biunder 10 which the Democratic party
appears to have exclusive title. The
Clark and Griggs resolutions disavow
any intention upon the part OF the
United States 10 retain permanent In
terest in the Philippines. but make no
guarantees OF protection or assistance
az any sort to the inhabitants II the
islands. The Livingston resolution,
willie practically disavowing United
States sovereignty. conveys an explicit
promise 10 the F'ilipinos To help them
to the formation of a stable and honor
able self government.
1t lis well enough to be honestly OPP
posed TO expansion, If a party cannot
see it's way clear To approving the pol
icy. but it Is as visionary as a free sill
yer fiat TO believe that responsibilities
Of the existing American situation can
be SO easily and unheroicaiiy rejected.
This country cannot proceed with any
course Of action whatever In the Phil
ippines unless there be some definite
and some unauestionable lines OF i'm
mediate action determined upon. Reso-
buttons as TO the future are but evasions
OF the necessities OF the time being.
There is no independent government in
the Philippines which Is capable Of
maintaining itself There Is no evidence
that such a government will be or can
be erected. Outside OF the visayas,
which have proffered their cooperation
there is nothing ahead for the United
States at Manila but some sort Of war
fare with chief and a dependent peo-
pie who do not desire to treat for mu-
tua. understanding. Declarations that
the United States Will get out Of the
way as soon as an autonomy Is estab-
lished do not aid In the establishment
OF that autonomy.
What this country needs at the pres
ent time il the uiterance OF resolutions
framed for the solution of difficulties
that already impend and already en-
barrass the national councils II the
Malayan archipelago is not to be re-
tanned as a possession of the United
States. such resolutions as those of Mr..
Livingston are in order. II IL is to be
retained. straightforward declarations
to that effect from the president are in
order. II is merely hollow optimism to
assert. as do the Democratic caucus res
olutlons. that the islands must be aban-
doned when they shall have got control
States can no more proceed in such a
Don Qnixote manner than they could
proceed to have currency of their
own and bid the nations with whom
they exchange pay no attention TO them.
America has the Philippines IN her
hands, She never could have refused
10 take them in her hands. She cannot
let them go from her hands until she
knows how their future win be cared
