century and a quarter have passed
since the Declaration of Independence was
signed and great changes have occurred in
the republic which arose on the foundation
of the principles then proclaimed Growth
in every line has been marked and progress
sive. The American principle has spread
from the slender strip of territory on the
Atlantic coast OF North America until it
has crossed the continent at the most i,-
sirable point and has practically Sirdled the
globe. The expansion has brought no men,
ace to either American security or Anleri-
can doctrines. The liberty of The Individual
Is today more reliably preserved than ever
Pessimists may contend with peevish per-
sistence that the recent events nich have

commemorated. They have even sought to
utilize the occasion by appealing - the pa
triotism'' of the American people to organ
ize against the national policies and the
emphatfCally indOrsed administrators. They
have belittled the occasion by thus peryert-
ing it's meaning. as in the months Just
past they have narrowed by misinterpretl-
ton the meaning of the Declaration, the
Constitution and the unwrtten laws which
have governed the American people TO the
end of their present greatness, power and
prosperity.
Such minds cling obstinately to the
thought that our own liberties are menaced
by the extension of our system 10 distant
peoples long in subjection to tyrannical
power. They cannot grasp the ;d"a that
in the degree that the Filipino has been
given the least particle of individull free

his government. to that extent the extern

warranted. 1t has been unfortunate that
this extension has called for sacrifices, Our
own have been offered unhesitatiRs!y when
once our duty became clear. Those uf the
Filipnos may be charged directly - the
false friends of the brown race who, IL this

islands and shame to the American !i:tion.
Whatever the cost. the sacrifices. the dis

from Chicago. will fall upon deaf ears. Too
much has been accomplished to justify the
hopes of the majority of the people. too
much has been gained for human liberty TO
warrant the least return. Too strong an
emphasis has been laid upon the higher
meaning Of Independence day to lessen i'll
any degree the exultant patriotism of the
people of the republic. who feel today more
than ever before that the fathers OF 1916
wrought for all time and for all peoples.

Su Chih Chin,

This governments decision to permit Su
Chih Chin. the Chinese reformer to enter
the country despite the Chinese immigra-
ton laws. is in exact accordance not only
with the spirit of those laws. but with the
present policy of this and other civilized
powers in dealing with China. Su Chih
Chin represents the clements in China
which must be relied upon to complete the
regeneration inaugurated by the interven-
ton of the powers last summer. He stands
for advancement. the liberal adoption of
western ideas. the rejection of the super
stitions and practices and prejudices of
ages, which have kept China in state OF
degradation and decay. To return him
forcibly to China in the present disturbed
condition of affairs, delivering him into the
hands of government eager for his head
would be to encourage the celestial author
tiles to believe that the United States at

their own courses of retaliation and pun

The Fourth in Philade h In. /.

The Philadelphia Record. referring to the
new arrangement which goes into effect in
the Philippine Islands today, is disposed to
sympathize with the people of the archi-
pelago. 1t considers that their lines have
fallen IN hard places. 1t characterizes the
term civil government misnomer, and
it regards the Filipino as still under the
harrow of military rule 1t sees him for
long under that rule, and 1t diSapprOveS OF
the selection of the 4th of July. with all of
it's sacred associations, as the day for pro-
mitigating a humbug.
The Record should forbear. The situa
tion in the Philippines is not ideal one
but it represents much that is praiseworthy
and encouraging. A little over three years
ago and the lot of the Filipino was indeed
d hard one. He not only had voice in
anything but his pastors and masters wer2
tyrants of the most approved order. II g
was lucky to be alive. And not in every
case did he even wish to live. He managed
in many cases to get himself killed. Put
the Filipino whom the Americans found
alive when they landed was taken in hand
where he showed friendly disposition. and
at the end of three years he approves of
American rule and is anxious to it per-
petuated and perfected. 1t is so very far
superior to any other rule that he has
known he considers himself fortunate, and
does not feel greatly outraged at having
to wait awhile for the completed form Cf
free government.
Comparisons of course are odiOuS. But in
considering the 4th of July let us glance at
the city of Manila and the city of Phila-
delphia. Three years of American rule in
the one, under the disturbed conditions of
war and change of sovereignty, show
progress in the direction of good things, and
a highly creditabl record for the chief ofti-
Ger of the city. Over a hundred years of
absolutely free government in the other,
with the citizens fully empowered under the
laws to control their own affairs and with
every influence of historical local aSSocia-
tions to spur them up to public duty, show
a corrupt and thoroughly demoralized city
government and the citizens banding to-
gether without regard to party to redeem
the name of the city and rescue it's affairs
from the blight that has fallen upon them.
For all the Records sympathy, the Fill
pinO citizen of Manila is probably prouder
and happier man on this great anniversary
than the American citizen of Philadelphia.
Certainly he has occasion to be. But the
Philadeiphian is not without hope. Free
government has not failed with him, but
has only been neglected. He will redeem
himself and his city, and be as worthy
again to live under the stars and stripes
as the Filipino.

Independence nnd the Shirt Waist.

From the New York World.
When. the document of the day re-
minds us, people propose to separate them
selves from their former adherences-
whether it be their coats and vests or their
governments is merely detail-"a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires
that they should declare the causes which
impel them to the separation"
The causes which impel men to separate
themselves from their coats and seek the
freedom of shirt sleeves are too palpable
and perspiring to need elaboration. Patrick

liarly suitable to the day which celebrates
the occasion on which all such national
enterprises are founded It will be seen
from the newspaper comments on the plan
of the Washington Memorial Institution
that the idea has already become popular.
Educators in all quarters are enthusiastic
in support of the project The working or
ganization includes some of the foremost
instructors, scientists and university ad-
ministrators in the country. This insures
active, sincere cooperation in quarters
from which it was once feared that MOTH
ing could come to such a scheme but active
opposition, or at the best passive tolerance.
The educators of the United States have
come to realize that here at Washington
are treasures which should long ago have
been conserved to supplement their own
work. They have Joined hands now to pro-
vide a method of utilizing the scientific
equipment of the government to give the
finishing touches to the graduates of their
own institutions. They have determined
that henceforth no item of scholastic value
shall be left neglected which, if properly
used by earnest students of mature minds.
might materially raise the standard of
American scholarship and scientific attain
ment. They have set out to realize the
ideal which Washington held for the crea-
tion at the capital of an endowment which
should stand as the climax of American
educational effort.
The practical work of organization Is in
good hands. Earnest women are forward
ing the appeals for funds which are to meet
the actual necessities of the institution,
providing primarily building for central
administration purposes. There is no rea-
son TO anticipate failure in this direction,
while the character of the men who stand
for the educational representation in charge
of the enterprise is guarantee that the
purposes of the plan will be furthered pro-
