A few years ago n number Of philan-
thropists and reformers In New York
City were asked to contribute to tho
Sunday World their answers to the.
question, "What is the best thing that
the rich can do to help the poor?, Hen
~ Georges answer WINS the shortest
and 1t went straight TO the point. "Get
off their backs" he said.
We IRE reminded of MIR. Georges re-
ply whenever we read any Of the SOL
emn comment in administration or
gans, like the Outlook, about the efforts
of the Taft Commission to establish
"self-government" in the Philippines.
1T occurs to us that the best way to
establish "self-governments for the
Filipinos would be to get OF their
backs and to quit killing the bravest
and most patriotic lovers of self-goy-
eminent.

ernments IRE ridiculous except those
which men make for themselves" The
"self-government," which one nation
establishes for another is most ridicu;.

only to the Mexican people, but for
every foreigner who has dollar at
stake in their country. No human pow
err could prevent greater or less dis
Indignation of the political structure
which has been built up by Gen. Diaz
and supported by well-equipped and
formidable army commanded by a
loyal friend.
The capital would become the scene,
Of dispute between factions advocat-
ing this or that man for the office, and
the remoter sections of the country
would suffer from local disturbances
now held in check by strongly CEN
tralized government. Northern Mexico
is more or less jealous of southern
Mexico, and the State of Yucatan, ex-
tending far out into the gulf and many
miles from the seat of government, has
long threatened to take advantage of
the first opportunity which presented
itself and organize separate repub-
lie.
We Might Have to Interfere.
Should the political situation in Mex
leo lead to any serious disturbance, in.
reference by the United States could
hardly be avoided. No other foreign
power would be allowed to Interfere by
the United States. and the responsible
ity of the latter would necessitate
prompt and effective protection of all
the vast domestic and foreign interests
In Mexico.
There is even to-day small fraction
of the Mexican people in favor of an
nexation to the United States. but this
feeling is fur from being general
among any one class. Some of the
Spanish Catholic priests are friendly
to the idea, as they still cherish con-
siderable animosity toward the Mexi-
can republic for its confiscation of
church property, and these priests be-
lieve that under American rule they
would regain much of what they lost.
1t is certainly incumbent upon the
government of the United States to
keep sharp eye upon the progress of
events in Mexico. There have been
many unofficial complaints from that
country that the United States has I'M
derrated the Importance of its embassy
in the Mexican capital.

The virtual deposition of Chairman
Joseph w. Babcock from the chairman
ship Of the Republican Congressional
Communication his announcement that
he will not serve in that capacity be-
yond his present term amounts to that
lis a sign of a serious rupture in the
Republican party on the tariff question.
Other questions of party policy, man
agement and leadership may be quite
as seriously involved.
Congressman Babcock signed the
warrant for his own decapltation as
Chairman of the Republican Congress
sional Committee when he introduced,
near the close Of the last Congress, a
bill to abolish the tariff on the steel
products manufactured by the Morgan
81, 600 100000 steel trust. 1t was a
measure inspired by public sentiment
on the subject of the mammoth trusts
organized to prodigiously increase the
power and profits of the protected in.
dustries.
Every consumer in the country hoped
for the success of the policy which Con
gresham Babcock inaugurated. 1t
would have hampered the power of the
great trusts which are usurping in our
