LOCAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY.

In conversation with a well-knOwn
member of the Scranton board of trade.
yesterday, The Tribune man broaChed
the subject of the apparent difference
existing between the central city body
and the West Scranton organization.
The gentleman was of the opinion
that representatives should be chosen
from every section of the city to attend
the Scranton board meetings. and
thus bring the relations closer.
What the suburbs need, he said is
local Improvement societies to look
after the needs of community. and
where there are industries to be Sc
cured. to have the united cooperation

"TNDEPENDENCE.'

The irrational and disoyal speech or PROFESSOR
Charles Eliot Norton at Ashfeld Mass, last
week contained these words: 1--WE cannot prlng
"the dead TO life, we cannot restore the desc
lated homes but we can help the Filipinos TO
establish their independence, and we can aHord
"them SUPPORT in maintaining It," BY tine
Filipinos" a designation either gnorantly or
dishonesty used. Professor Norton means that
minority of the Inhabitants OF the island or
Iuzon who are more or less Willingly subserv-
lent 70 the ambitions of Agunaldo. THESE are
the people whose independence we can help
them TO establish and maintain by following the
advice OF Professor Norton.
Independence of what? Obviously OF the In
clinotions and interests Of the vast majority OF
the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands, VINO
hive taken no part in Agunado's operations,
who have no sympathy with his endeavors ana
who. SO far as they know anything about the
man despIse him. Possibly If were to put
forth all our resources could give the as
tendency to Aguinaldos fragment OF the popu-
lation But II would be about the toughest 1oo
This country ever undertook, and monumental
outrage besides II would involve us In the
support by brute force Of a sngularly treach-
erous tyranny at a hundred points and In all
human probability 1t would array the civilized
world against us in indignant protest If not In
arms.
At the very outset we should have to give
Spain to understand that she must pay over 10
malignant brigand the heavy ransom for which
no is holding thousands of Spanish prisoners.
That money extorted by our help, would be
convenient to Aguinaldo in establishing ana
maintaining his independence.
We should have to say TO four-hfths or the
PEOPLE of the Philippines that we cared nothing
for their racial and moral antipathies or their
material interests; that we were there 10 COM
pel their subsection to the cruel and rapaclous
rule of the one-ffth, so long as that minority
reld together. and then to the personal will OF
single shameless adventurer' so long as he
escaped assassination.
We should have to say TO the world that, nav
ing been compelled by the events Of war INTO
which we were forced to accept responsibility
for the protection OF order property and inter
national rights In the Philippines. we had re-
solved TO abandon that obligation in the imme-
date interest Of Il few selfish schemers whose
independence we had undertaken 10 maintain at
the cost of inevitable anarchy after brief
period Of plumber.
What would the world say TO us? We shall
never learn by putting the question In practi
cal form But there is no doubt what the
worlds instantaneous answer would be II Pro-
fessor Norton could have his way. or Of the ire
versble verdict that history would deliberately
put upon so monstrous betrayal Of duty, or
honor and of civilization.
