WILL NOT LEARN ENGLISH.
Filipinos as People Have No Use
for Our Language.

The scheme is to teach the FiIipinos
something for which they feel no i'm
mediate need. and in which they take
no direct interest, namely, the English
language. Other subjects have a place
in the programme. but the English Ian
guage is practically the sole subject of
instruction.
Why then. do not the children learn
it? Some do learn it; namely, the few
that have a daily opportunity of using
what they learn. In a few cities. where
there are hosts of Americans, soldiers
and citizens, English is a living tongue;
but for the great multitude of F'ilipinos
it is practically a dead language.
Why should a Filipino care to learn
English? Not many reasons are con-
ceivable. In few cities it might help
many boy to get employment, and
in these cities English can be success
fully taught Elsewhere it is important
only for the governing class, affecting,
as it does, their commercial and politi-
cal interests.
But for the Filipino peesantry there
is no motive for learning English, and
accordingly they will not and cannot
learn it. A new language can only come
to them with a new life; schooling can
not give it to them Americans com

London. April s0-Lord Cranborne,

a number of questions in the house OF
commons today, said that suggestions Oh

Friends and admirers of President
Roosevelt in some quarters are bec0m-
ing alarmed over a movement real or
fancied having for its object his defeat.
Under the caption THE War on the
President the Newark News prints the
following editorial:
1t is becoming more evident every
day that determined effort is to be
made to prevent the reelection OF
President Roosevelt. 1t seems settled.
likewise, that the fight against him is
TO be made in the coming national con-
Nention Of the Republican party, rather
than at the polls. This is natural. His
enemies are they of the capitalisuc class
and are therefore presumably aVerse to
O. Democratic triumph. not only because
of the financial heresies to which the
Democratic party mas stood pledged Tor
the last eight years, but by reason OF
the pronounced aversion of that party
10 anything in the nature of a trust. 1t
is pretty generally conceded, further
more. that unless there is an uneXDeCt-
ed revolution in public sentiment in the
near future, Republican triumph ia
1904 is inevitable. In short, there IS
practically no dissent to the proposition
that If Mr.. Roosevelt is to be defeated
at all it must be done in the nominating
convention.
Circumstanhal reports from wash
ington indicate that "a strong effort to
this end is under way. The railroad
corporations, incensed by the merger
decision. the settlement of the coal
strike and other evidences of the facr
that the president adheres to the decla-
rations of his party platform, are the
prime movers in the undertaking and
have pledged all their colossal resources
thereto. Wall street is actively syfnaa-
theuc, and, Of course. a most influential
section of the Republican party led by
ambitious aspirants for presidential
honors, may be relied upon for support
of the most effective kind. Witness the
recent editorial course Of the New Yors
sun, newspaper whose adherence to the
moneyed interests Of the country can
not be doubted. Observe the determined
efforts of some of Mr.. Roosevelt's
strongest opponents III the party to pose
