Chicago newspapers during the past

Of news material in bizarre excerpts
from a course of lectures on sociology
delivered by Prof Edward A. Ross of
the University of Nebraska before the
summer classes of the University of Chi

is not in the bold phrases with which
he charaCteTizes modern social cOndi-
tions, nor in the seemingly reckless pre-
dictions he makes OF the inevitable goal
of present-day tendencies. The sub
stance of his Chicago lectures has all
been spread out before from time to
time to his University of Nebraska stu

rohber in a silk hat as more injurious TO

The significance OF the lecture course is
not what Prof Ross has been saying at

should be allowed TO say anything there
at all.

POLICY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The speech of Secretary Taft at the
banquet given him by native Filipinos
ought to have a good effect in quieting
any dissatisfaction that may exist among
the people there. We noted few days
ago the existence of a feeling that the
government was not dealing fairly with
the Filipinos and that the present admin
istration of affairs in the archipelago, or
at least in that portion of it which en-
braces Luzon, is not wholly satisfactory.
Secretary Taft was made acquainted
with this and though he did not make a
direct reference to it in speech, he evil
IDENTIFY had it in mind when assuring his
hearers Of the purpose of the govern
ment to deal fairly and justly with the
Filipino people and to promote their in
terests in all practicable ways.
Secretary Taft declared that the ad-
ministration's policy is the Philippines
for the FilipinOs" and that any Ameri-
can officials not in sympathy with this
policy would be recalled. No one will
question the authority of the secretary
of war to speak in this matter for the
administration, nor will any one doubt
that Secretary Taft has the interests Of
the Filipino people at heart He under
stands as well as any other American
what the needs and the possibilities of
those people are and he enjoys their full
confidence. What he told them they will
heed and we think IL will be aDDrOVed
by all Americans who have not adopted
the idea that we should give up the
Philippines and leave their people to take
care Of themselves without any protec-
ton or guidance. They are confessedly
not now capable of self-gOvernment and
it is the duty of the United States to
care for them until theY are.

IMPORTANT POLICIES DEFINED.
The address of President Roosevelt at
Chautauqua, n. Y, merits the careful at
tention of the country, particularly what
is said in regard to supervision and reg
ulation of corporations by the national
government. In defining the Monroe doc
trine and the position of this government
regarding 1t, the president makes more
comprehensive statement than In any of

acter of what he had before said. What

the declaration that I'VE do not intend
to treat it in any shape or way as an ex-
cuse for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT on our part at
the expense of the republics TO the south

tend to permit It to be used as a shield
to protect any of those republics from
the consequences Of its misdeeds against
foreign nations. There is a belief i'm some
