Governor Taft and the Chinese


| More than a dozen amateur Doctors
of Civilization have been discussing re-
Gently in American. English, French and
German newspapers. and in books, the
condition of things in the Philippine
Archipelago and the measure of success
already attained by American admins
tration there.
The one thing common to all these
writings is a recognition of the immense
difficulty of the task, In every other
respect the observations and conclu-
sions vary widely. They vary accord
| ing to points Of view and hidden motives
as diverse as those for instance, which
impel Mr.. PERoIvAL LANDoN, a CORE
spondent of the Daily Maj of London,
| who is observing the situation not with
out an eve to Hongkong and British
trade interests in general, to assign the
refusal to admit Chinese labor as the
chief reason for what he calls the
American failure in the Philippines
and those which led the enthusiastic BEL
LARS to conclude that the main cause
of failure was the circumstance that
Gen. LEONARD WOOD did not occupy the
post of responsibility and power in the
Government at Manila.
As to the respectable, if prejudiced,
diagnosis by Mr.. LANDoN, we have now
from Governor TAFT's executive secre-
tary, Mr.. W. BECKMAN WINTHROP, clear
statement of reasons for the exclusion
policy which Hongkong regards as
unfortunate. Upon his arrival at San
Francisco on Saturday from Manila Mr..
WINTHROP said:
THE labor problem Is a deep one, 1t will be
settled. however. On the lines laid down by Gov
ernor TAFT. The Commission realizes that. while
the adm, ssiou OF Chinese labor would hasten the
development of the country and promote the pros
pert,y of Americans financially interested there
It would reduce the Filipino to the lowest IN glneble
condition Where he has been given a chance
under proper supervision he has made an excellent
workman. With Cinnamon in the land. the Fllipinos
never will be induced TO work. and gradually would
be obllterated altogether. The Commission Is not
likely to sacrifice the Filipino for the sake of hasten
ing the development OF the Philippine Islands
They will FIRST make man OF him. and then with
his help make something worth while OF his land"
Governor TAFT, Of course, is not re-
sponsible for this expression Of individ-
ual opinion. Nevertheless, it is not hard
to suppose that Mr. WINTHROP states
accurately the determining reason for
the Commissions adherence to the ex-
cluson policy deplored by British, Ger
man and some selfish American interests
in the islands. The slower but surer
programme of building up the islands by
respecting and protecting the Filipino
and regarding his welfare and future az
of paramount Importance is quite con-
sistent with the spirit in which the Gov
ernor is accomplishing his great task.
Moreover. it is characteristic Of that
personal attitude toward the Fiipnos
which has already won the ines,imablc
advantage of native confidence in the
sincerity Of American intentions.

Birth Insurance

The other day We saluted with respect
and sympathy the birth of the American
Mothers Birth Insurance Company Of
Boston. To the strenuous souls who are
speaking or working against race suicide
and to all other persons legtimately in
terested, We commend this new form of
insurance. At present, membership is
limited to members of the American
Mothers Association. Doubtless other
companies Of wider scope will be formed,
for the purpose and plan are absolutely
sound and praiseworthy. The Boston
company is incorporated under the ex-
oellent insurance laws of Massachu-
sets. 1t is on the mutual plan and is
obliged to provide sufficient reserve
fund. 1t is managed by women and
for women" Mono OF It's officers is al
lowed to receive pay for services to it,
1t has an advisory hoard composed Of
such distinguished women as Mrs. MARY
A. LIvERMoRE and Mrs. EDWIN D. MEAD
and no check drawn by the treasurer on
the benefit fund is to be valid unless
countersigned by a member of this
board.
The annual dues are one dollar. The
assessments are SO for the first month
after application and 50 for every SUBJ
sequent month. The benefits receivable
on the birth OF n living child or chill

After paying I'VE regular assessments $40 $780,

For fills Statement Regarding Superiority
Of German Dattleships.

WASHINGTON May BIN reference to
the signed article Of Count Won Reventlow.
published in the Berlin TdaebldH attacking
Rear Admiral Melville, engineer in chief
of the United States Navy, for his state
ment in regard to the superiority for their
tonnage of the German bait eships, Ad-
miral Melville declares that his statement
that the German battleships for their dis
placement are the superior of any others
will be recognized when the following facts
are considered:
First-For their tonnage, the German
battleships have the highest speed.
Second. BY the reason of the triple screw
installation of machinery they have superior
man9uvrng qualities. There are also
structural and economical advantages
secured by such an installation Of ma
chinery. During the past year all naval
strategists and tactioans have ascribed
greater value to the mGnpuvring factor.
and therefore the advante ges of the triple
screw installation are now receiving con-
sideration that was never accorded before.
Third, BY reason of the fact that the Ger
man battleships are without the numerous
luxuries that are installed in those of other
nations. increased weight and space have
been given to those motive appliances upon
which the fighting efficiency of the ship de-
p,nds.
The purpose OF Admiral Melville in prais-
ing the German navy was to secure an
installation Of motive machinery that is
demanded by the conditions of to-day.

Whatever the signs to the contrary,
they do not, in our opinion, forbid the
cheering belief that what is known
as the labor situation the world Of
business, shows hopeful symptoms of re-
turning health. The essential influ-
ences that make for a restoration of in
dustrial activity are appearing strong
enough to make the outlook reassuring.
We refer chiefly to the tone of the
press in its criticisms Of unlawful inter-
ference with employers and employees
right to enjoy, in peace and to the full,
all privileges which the law says shall be
theirs. For example, the denunciation
of the rioter Mayor Of Bridgeport for
giving official aid and comfort to vio-
lence is universal, and, in this case, is
not half nullified by views of hasty and
misguiding sentiment on the merits Of
points at issue between the parties to
the controversy. Even the Bridgeport
Board of Aldermen, by formal resolu-
ton, denounces the lawless condition
of affairs in that city and bespeaks
the belief of all Connecticut that Bridge
port people deserve their reputation as
law-abiding citizens
The protection given by the New York
police to whomsoever wishes to work
in the subway has been admirable and
the disposition of organized labor to
condemn it seems, happily, to be giving
way to sober appreciation of its justice
and it's ultimate usefulness for keeping
agitation within practicable bounds and
for preventing the wheels Of industry
from coming to dead stop.
In every great centre where the con-
flict between employer and employee
has been severe the public feeling that
at such times the duty Of the public
is to enforce the law and otherwise to
mind it's own business is being stoutly
manifested, with the foreordained result
that the light of industrial vigor and of
the identification Of prosperityis bright
ening again through the clouds.

we can conceive existence and is In the realm OF

Accordingly, the writer of the tract
believes that science is preparing the
soil for the implantaton Of this religion
into the West y; that every year, more
and more, intellectual Western minds
are discovering the wrong direction Of
scientific thought and adopting the more
metaphysical attitude of Buddhism as
the only logical and possible explana-
ton of the difficulties that confront us.
The constitution of the Samagama
requires that this propaganda of Buddh-
ism shall not abuse or ridicule any
other form of religious belief but shall
confne itself to efforts to enlighten the
world as to it's own. No just objection
can be made to such an enterprise. The
special agent of the Samagama in this
country is the Rev. X. HoR1, super
intendent of the Japanese Buddhist
mission at San Francisco" who is de-
scribed as Of untiring devotion in be-

per quarter between the duty levied on
their grain and that imposed upon the
grain purchased from their foreign COM
petitors. Now even duty of one shilling
per quarter would so raise the price OF
bread as to cause intense and widespread
discomfort among the non-agrlcultural
ma jority of the British population. Such
a duty, however, would not suffice for
revival of British agriculture. But chief

LAIN's protective policy in the case sup

They would justly demand that, since
a good deal had been done for the distant
colonists, az much more should be done
for them. If duty of shilling per
quarter had been imposed for the rehe1
Of Canadians, duty of two or three
shillings per quarter should be levied
for the sake Of the British landed interest.
How could such demand be rejected?
1t would be made by the men who, more
than any others had helped to make Mr..
CHAMBERLAIN Prime Minister. He would
be compelled to count the laborer worthy
of his hire.
Under the economical conditions Of the
English population, there is no refuge

Rerths for the Long ships.

We can appreciate Gen. GILLESPIE S
reasons for reporting, as Chief of Epgin-
GERS, against the extension of the piers
on the North River to the length that
would accommodate the long ships of the

II would narrow the river one of the
greatest Of thoroughfares; something
not to be done lightly. Nevertheless we
are confident that if the shipping men
hereabouts, not to mention the river
people of New York and New Jersey,
We're allowed to vote on the question
they would with practical unanimity
vote in favor of granting to the long ships
all the pier room that they ask for.
We trust that the board of Engineers
and the War Department will finally
agree with them.
