condition. Rowdies do not establish or
conduct business enterprises. or support
houses of worship There mus be there
fore large number of excellent people
living in Indianela to whom the good name
of the town is dear, and who prefer law
and order and fair dealing to strife and
bitterness. u ,fi.-z,sss ,
But. the question arises, what are these
people doing at this time? Why are they
not active in bringing about a settlement
of the existing trouble? One does not asso-
ciate such people with the treatment meted
out to the postmaster there. She was reg
ulariy in commission and had been for
some time. The business of the Office was
well conducted, and her personal conduct
above reproach. She was woman OF
color, but that gave warrant for threats
and intimidation. 1t is impossible to mag
inc bankers and merchants and pastors of
churches participating in proceedings which
were so radically out of line with the re-
quirements of good citizenship.
Can 1t be that Indianola is dominated by
her rowdies? Is the lawless element,
although in a small minority, at the bot
tom of all this trouble? Are the people OF
character and substance submitting to
rule which in their hearts they condemn?
If so they should rouse themselves. The
case is really in their hands. They should
not desire violence to triumph or to see the
national authority Knocked. BY all means
therefore, since matters have gone so Tar,
let us have the full particulars of this at
tempt to set up passion and force In the
places of law and justice. Why this sud
den flaming up of race prejudice In the
town of Indianola?

Taft or Schurnan?-

Prof Schurman repeats his well-known
views as to the Philippines. He would have
us withdraw from the islands completely.
Not only are the Filpinos DESTROYS of self
government, but capable of 1t. They resent
our presence and this feeling of hostility
will grow. Moreover. We have no legiti-
mate business in the archipelago. 1t is not
proposed to create states out of the islands,
and our Constitution does not allow for
holding them as a colony. We have heard
this before. 1t is neither impressive nor
convincing. 1t does not meet the issue with
which we are confronted, the nature OF
which cannot be changed.
Hauling down the flag in Cuba admitted
of some small use on the stump, and it was
employed by the feebler class of spellbind-
ers last year, but without effect on the
voters. 1t was easy to show the difference
between the Cuban problem and the Phil
ippine problem. The flag had been raised
in Cuba conditionally. 1t came down when
those conditions stood fulfilled. 1t could
not in honor have remained up a day after
that. 1t was raised in the Philippines, on
the other hand, without conditions of any
kind. Finding ourselves charged with re-
sponsibility for order in the archipelago
we set about securing this by the best
means at our command: and the situation
there today, while still full of difficulty, is
a justification of our intentions and capac-
ity. We have made progress along all
lines, and the flag stands for education,
justice, and opportunity for all the people.
The demand that the flag come down is
uttered oftener by Prof. Schurman than by
any Filipino of prominence in the whole of
the archipelago.
The tribute to Gov Taft is quite as sug-
gestive as generous. Prof. Schurman was
in the islands but a short time and when
conditions were almost chaotic. His con-
illusions based on his own ob5erva tions diff
fered radically from those which he now
entertains, and his present views are
founded upon the allegation of change in
conditions, in respect to which he relies en-
tirely on hearsay evidence from witnesses
like Gov. Taft and Gen. Chaffee, who pro-
test that he misinterprets their testimony
Gov. Taft has been on the scene for long
time. and in a position to study the situa-
ton down to the very ground. He has done
this and the F'ilipinos pay him the tribute
or thorough confidence and admiration He
does not advocate hauling down the flag.
Like many others, he regretted seeing It
raised, but now that it is flying, and stand
ing for so much more than any native flag
would do. he wants 1t to remain, and he
oeciines tempting promotion here at home
In order to remain himself and to assist in
the further advancement of the American
policy. Whose views of our duty in the
philippines are OF the more value? Shall
We follow Gov. Taft or Prof Schurman?

Tammany's Ingratitude.

Wardman Bissert of New York's police
force. once convicted of blackmail and then
granted new trial. has now confessed the
whole game of police corruption to District
Attorney Jerome and will probably be given
immunity from further proceedings. The
details of his disclosure are not m ade pub
lie though it's general nature is intimated
in the statement that 1t duplicates those
higher up in police authority than the
wardman-collector. Bissert jumped his bail
after being granted a second trial and fled
to foreign country. 1t Is known that he
was tired of serving as the scape-goat Of
the men who received the bulk of the blood
money and who used him as a tool and a
cloak He had been willing to stand his
first trial because his powerful friends had
promised that he should be protected in his
trouble. But they appeared to desert him,

Even Judge Tafts individual work there
is not yet accomplished, If we are to be-
lieve the foreigners and natives who have
been so insistent that he should remain at
Manila. For him to return to the United
States, these people assert, would be to put
back the islands five years; and they ought
to know. Surely, If Governor Taft cannot
leave the Philippines without arousing a
friendly uproar like this there would be a
state of panic in the islands if every United
States officer and soldier should depart.

STATUS OE STATEHOOD.

A recent Washington dispatch says
that the republican senators have de-
termined to hold a caucus on the state
hood issue. They will call II a caucus
to decide on public business. Two
thirds or more of the republicans are
opposed to statehood, and their object
in seeking a caucus is to try and get
united party action to sidetrack the
omnibus bill.
Senator Quay says he will have moth
ing to do with such a caucus. and will
not be governed by its action.
What effect it would have upon SEN
ator Quay's republican friends in the
statehood fight, however, is another
question.
The friends of statehood fear that
the caucus could control nearly all the
republicans except Quay. He is
the only one of the republicans who
is dead in earnest. Elkins is half
hearted and would like to desert, not
w~ithstanding his obligations to New
Mexico.
Quay has quietly informed the re.
publican leaders that if they attempt
to use the caucus lash to defeat state
hood, they will make a break in the
republicans of the senate that will
take years to heal. He also has in
timated that he will feel it his duty to
antagonize every measure in which
the ruling clique of republicans are
particularly interested.
Notwithstanding contrary reports.
there is no break among the demo-
Gratis. Every democrat in the senate
stands ready to vote for statehood, and
cordially supports Quay's leadership in
the fight for the omnibus bill.
Quay had a conference with the
president and told Mr.. Roosevelt that
Ills name was being used by Mr.. Bev-
eridge and other opponents of state
hood to incite flibustering against the
omnibus bill.
Inc president authorized Quay to
say that while he was opposed to the
omnibus bill, he was not in favor of
flibuster or of any other method that
would delay the transaction of neces-
sary legislation. The president fears
for the Cuban treaty, in which he is
very much interested.
1t is understood the democrats have
arranged to obstruct the Cuban treaty
until such time as the republican man
ayers assent 10 a vote on the omni-
bus bill.
