LISTEN To MY TALE OF WOE.
Under the lachrymose title, Betrayed
By Their Friends" the Pioneer Press in=
dulges in a half column of sympathy for
the poor Filipinos who will be obliged
to retain the franchises Of their islands
for a full year after peace has been de-
CARED and a stable government estab-
lished.
Why these crocodile tears are poured
forth by the Pioneer Press over the fate
of the Filipino, brought about by the
Hoar amendment of the Spooner amend
ment to the army appropriation bill, can
only be guessed. Can 1t be that Senator
Hoar was right in his supposition that
there were horde of franchise mongers
scheme promoterslready and only
waiting for the Spooner bill to pass, to
rounce down on the islands and gebbie
UP these rare bits of speculative con-
fectionery? And can it be that the pol
itieaI friends of the Pioneer Press were
to be interested in those financial
riorsels? We can divine no other motive
for such wall at such time. The
Hoar amendment simply makes the pres
| ident responsible as custodian for the
inherited rights of the Filipino. The
natural advantages of the Philippine ISL
ands belong to the original inhabitants.
And as franchise, if it have any value,
must be an asset of those who made that
value possible, we fail to see the author
ity for giving them away just now.
The Pioneer Press is laboring under
the Authorization that great moneyed en-
terprises are going to rush into the
island of Luzen before hostilities have
ceased and before a stable government
is established. Capital does not move
open the Taft commission might be able
to give away or sell all kinds of fran
chises to American promoters, but there
would be little or no actual improvement
until a stable government is assured.
The confidence which our neighbor ex-
presses in the ability of the Taft COM
mission to dispose of "all these fran
chises and leases" is ingenious to say
the least We admit it would have been
a fine thing for the intimate friends of
the Taft commission.
We are sorry if the Hoar amendment
upset the plans of those who are po-
litically near and dear to our friend
down the street, but the G 10 b e, not
withstanding, thinks that the benighted
Filipinos can get along few more years
without telephone lines and street cars
in some of their smaller villages. They
will do very well awhile yet without

cause, you know, they would not be ca

larger commissions and takes larger
