Lebany Wants lslanda.

What to do with a few hundred of the Thousand isles we now own In the far east IS perplexing the intellectuals of some of our statesmen of both parties, for 1t Is no secret here that opinion in re- gard to the retention of all the Philip pines Is very much divided. The mere po- Icing of such scattered and scatter Drained domain would be a colossal Job. partial solution Is now offered. anus ing 'tis true, yet perhaps feasible and sensible. Jacques Lebaudy, the multi millionaire French sugar refiner Emper- or of Sahara, King of Tarfaia, Duke of Arleuf, and Prince Chai-Huln, has begun d correspondence with the American em- bassy at London, with a view of purehas- ing as many of the Philippine islands as the United States government will sell He has made an offer of cash payable on completion of transfer for a considerable group of islands, his idea being sup- pcsedly, to establish summer resort or a chain of oceanic sanitariums. Tho rcck on which these negotiations threat tns to split is his insistence that the pur- chase include not merely ordinary owner ship of the islands but full sovereignty over them. Edgar Apthorp Jjones says 1t would be full sovereignty since Ie- baudy, as a sovereign would be full all the time. This the United States govern nent, of course, could not dream of al- lowing. The sovereignty mean, not tfs fullness. While 1t may at times be dis- posed to sell individuals tracts subject to its rula. 1t would necessarily be with the understanding that 1t retain full rights ever tha territory and that the purchaser become subject to the laws of the United States This correspondence between Le- baudy and his followers. of high-sound- ing title with the United States embassy is said to be extremely entertaining. Let us hope tho administration will see fit to give 1t to the world.

Pretty Girls Cause Trouble.

General Manager Thomas E. Bromley of the Delaware and Madison county telephone company, Muncie, Ind, re- marks in the Electrical Review. ''The marriage of our pretty telephone opera tors Is the cause of most of the trouble. No sooner do we train a girl until <he becomes an expert than somebody mar ries her. In the last few weeks six of our skilled operators have left the ex- change at Cupid's demand. I don't know what to do about 1t unless we employ homely girls in the future, and then l am not sure that would help, fos believe men fall in love with the girls voices Lefore they meet them We might get some ancient spinsters, with rasping voices; but then, perhaps, our steady patrons would complain because their voices were not pleasant" This Is too, too bad, my dear Tom Bromley, But you mustn't try to get your tintinnabulat- ing maids to swear off on men or sign a contract to remain spinsters while In your service for any length of time There's sweet little cherub who sits up aloft at the White House just at present fereely opposed to limiting the population.
