The Tariff for the Philippines.

Secretary Taft at Kansas City last night
nut the case of the Philippines in a light
that should have an excellent effect with
Congress and the entire country He pre-
sented indeed, all that remains of the
case. and did ii in terms so temperate and
convincing that the legislation he proposes
strikes one as smacking of the simplest
Justice.
The auti-imperialists have now not a leg
to stand on. Too many Americans have
visited the islands and reported, formally
or informally. their observations to make
it worth auybodys while longer to harp
on that old string of suppressing freedom
in the Islands and outragfng the spirit OIL

Of very ready talents, TO picture Uncle sam
now as the enemy Of the Ifilipines, ana the
worthy successor of the Spaniards in the
exploitation for gain of the rich archi-
pelaso.
There is to be considered by practical men
only the question of tariff duties, and these

injury to any American interests we
should be engaged in building up and not In

ton.

are extremely selfish. They are never able

For years in alliance with the free traders
In presidential contests and in the organiza-

of democratic control, they always demand
sky-hlgh protection for themselves, and,
from the one party as from the other, have
usually secured terms Of advantage. The
republicans. who might have crushed them,
have always cared for them, and the Nc

Their present complaint, as Secretary Taft
shows. is founded upon nothing that Is, but
something they fear may one day be. Why
calculate our tariff policy by the meridian
of the sugar bowl and It's selfish and short
sighted and imaginative owners?

An Interstate Marriage Absurdity,

The absurdfty of the present system-or
lack OF systena-of state regulation of mar
riage and divorce is aptly illustrated in the
case OF the novelist who was legally sepa-
rated from his first wife the other day. The
initial decree Of divorce was issued by
California court one year ago and the final
decree last Saturday. The laws of that
state forbid the remarriage of divorced per-
sons within one year from the separation,
Accordingly the man took another wife In
Illinois at the expiration OF the year, only
to discover that there is similar law In
Illinois and that the courts have ruled that
the year Of prohibition runs from the date
OF the final decree. Thus the second mar
riage in Illinois is held to be Illegal There
is. however. no such law In some other states,
this pair to obtain a certificate that win
Withstand legal scrutiny by crossing the
boundaries into some other commonwealth.
Indeed. this happens very frequently in the
case OF couples divorced In New York state,
they finding no obstacles In the way Of sec
ond marriages In Connecticut or New Jer-
sey almost before the Ink Is dry on the
court DEGREES. These second marriages are
as binding as though there were no prohibi-
tory statutes in the states In which fhA
divorces are obtained.
In this way the restrictive statutes Of one
state are absolutely nuilined. Interstate
travel ID now so easy that these restric-
lions are virtually as natght save TOR the
very poor. who cannot AFFORD ear fare. The

all II those states which have interposed
barriers between Divorces and remarrfage
wish to make them effective they must de-
cree that any marriage that is contrary tn
condition to the statutes of the conAnon-
wealth Is of no legal force.
Far more effective, however. than any
further complication of the matter by the
enactment of other state statutes would
be federal regulation of marriage and df-
yorce which establishes uniform system
for all the states and territories, granting to
all wives the same degree OF legal protection
land fixing one standard of propriety in this
regard. There is a greater diversity of con-
/ ditions in the laws relating to marriage and
divorce than in any other relation of life
at present. and vet there is no more impor-
{ tant factor in the social life of this country.
The family Is the basic unit, and i'll Is not
safeguarded it is exposed to many evil In
ffuences which tend to weaken the social
foundations.
The divorce problem has reached point
which calls for the most earnest considera-
ton by all sociologists and legislators, and
such absurd spectacles as that afforded by
the renlarriage of the novelist whose case
IS in evidence now serve a good purpose In
forming public opinion in support of a fed
eral regulation.

Mr.. WI in Usual Form.

The bomb thrown by the Chinese mis-
creant which, regrettably enough, impaired
the hearing of our old friend, Mr.. WI Ting
fang. did not affect the gray matter in the
head of that willy oriental. He stands re-
vealed in all of his crafty form in the let
ter to a distinguished citizen of Washing
ton, which The Star was permitted to
print on Saturday. He would have US be-
lieve-one can see him bowling and chatter
ing away in every hne-that he has had no
part lot in the boycott of American
goods. but he cannot refrain from pointing
that the punishment. is well deserved, and
that we may thank our stars 1t is no worse.
Mr.. WI should reserve that sort of thing
for the marines We know him pretty well
in this country, and can read without df-
ficulty between the lines of his deliverances.
He rather gave himself away, however. In
inclosing with his letter a copy of letter
he had received from Canadian woman
who has been teaching in China and es-
pouses the cause of the Chinese to the ex-
tent of warmly indorsing the boycott. She
writes from Toronto where she is visiting,
and she expects to return to her duties
in China naturally out-Chineses the Chi
nese. We may make allowances for that.
But the point is that in addressing Mr..
W IL on the SUBJECT the woman appears TO
have felt certain of her ground. She seems
not to enjoy the pleasure of his personal
acquaintance, and hence we may very well
ask ourselves why she should have picked
him out for confidence? Was it because
of anything she had heard in China re-
specting his sentiments about the boycott,
and his influence with his people as to its
promotion? She is very frank as to her
own feelings. She wants the boycott to
flourish and bring the Americans to their
senses. and doubtless she thought that
such an avowal would please the man to
whom she was writing. We may be GER
tain she felt no fear of lecture in reply.
Lovely woman does not put herself in the
way of lectures if she knows 1t.
But Mr.. WI and the boycott are one with
us. We all know where he stands, and can
Identify his. tricks at long range. and With
out the aid of strong glass. His scheme,
however, is hopeless He cannot by any
means at his command force the coolies
on us. The bars are up, and no arms are
long enough TO lower them.

Street Car Regulation.

The intention of the Commissioners to re-
submit 10 Congress a bin for the better
regulation OF the street railway traffic of
the District will be heartily applauded by
the people Of Washington, who are In some
respects severe sufferers from inadequate
service on the car lines, without chance
for a redress of their grievances. The Com
missioners are in effect helpless In the
premises. They have only admonitory au-
thority over the corporations. without power
10 enforce their admonitions. They cannot
put into practical effect the orders that they
adopt after hearing the complaints of the
people. Thus. there is only one means OF
securing relief. and that is through appeal
directly in each specific case to Congress to
enact regulatory legislation. The difficult
ties In the way of obtaining such statutes
are 30 great that the corporations are vir-
tually immune from all requirements save
those specified in their charters. with PEN
alties provided for noncompliance.
The Commissioners ask. and should be
given, authority to compel the street rail-
way companies to provide sufficient cars to
carry the people safely and, decently. On
some of the lines today, notably those run
ming into the suburbs. the service Is so poor
that the cars In the rush hours are seam
dalously and dangerously crowded. On one
line in particular the cars between and o
o'clock In the morning, 4:30 and $50 in the
afternoon and IL and II at night, are so
denseiy packed that the marvel Is that
shocking accidents are not the common
order OF the day. To jam one hundred peo-
pie Into a car that seats only forty Is to
outrage the proprieties OF life anfro invoke
the elements of disaster.
On the line in question, despite company
rules to the contrary, passengers crowd
upon the front platforms and seriously dis
cbmmode the motormen at their work. The
conductors are virtually helpless in their
management OF the ears. and accidents OF
. minor nature are constantly occurring
because Il Is impossible for the crews to

ates the desperate and deadly schemes OF
