We are grieved to notice that Mayor
Patrick A Collins, of Boston. who is
evidently RAPIDLY developing into a
regular watchdog OF the municipal
treasury now that ne has given up
al hope Of reelection. refuses to
spend the city's money to entertain a
delegation OF fifty commercially in
ciined Filipinos. Everybody knows
that Boston is the home Of all true
friends OF the Filipinos. At least, if
everybody doesn't know it, it isn't
the fault Of Fislze Warren. Erving
Winslow, ana Gamaliel Bradford,
VINO loudly proclaim the news on all
possible occasions. Therefore, these
vociferous gentlemen viii doubtless
welcome the chance to dig down into
their jeans and show the rest of the
country how much their friendship
for the Filipino is worth in officially
stamped coin of the realm.
