A Washington correspondent sug-
gests as the most interesting and APP
parently the most feasible proposition
that has yet been made with refer
ence to the disposition of our colonial
elephant, the Philippines, that we
shall exchange with Great Britain for
| the West India Islands. These, in ex-
tent of territory, are not equal to the
Philippines, but in location they will
be more accessible and advantageous
to u.s. They include that chain of
islands stretching from the east of
Porto Rico southwark in semicircle
to Trinidad on the Venezuelan coast,
and furnish an admirable line for the
protection of the Panama Canal. In
the Philippines, Great Britain would
be securing possessions in proximity
to her East Indian Empire and Aus
tralia, and near her ally, Japan. 1t
is interesting in this connection to
remember that Secretary Taft will
soon start to the Philippines. He is
somewhat distinguished as a diplo- |
matist, arbitrator and negotiatOr. |
His success in Rome when he nego- |
tiated for the extensive church prop
critics in the Philippines will be re-
also his more recent ex-
perience in Cuba when he settled
what threatened to be a bloody civil
war without the loss of man. He
is going to the Philippines, 1t is al
legged, to be present when those is
lands shall have conferred upon
them the fatal gift of independence
or selfgovernment The gift is fatal
because 1t is delusive, and delusive
even IL 1t does not take the form of a
,himera which devours all who pur-
Tue it. He may return from the Phil
ppines, however, with the splendid
'restige of having taken steps to swap
hose islands for the others nearer ,
ur border, and of having relieved us

The Nashville American says thai
Carmack's enemies want him to OPP
pose Patterson for the gubernatorial
nomination and that his friends want
him to stay out of that race. The
fact is, the American does not want to
see its pet defeated, which he surely
will be If Carmack enters the race.

The state appropriated $500 for a
years maintenance of the Governor
in the Governors mansion. 1t was
supposed of course that the money
would be drawn as needed. But the
first week the Governor gets into his
mansion, he swipes the whole sum at
one swipe. Now (perish the thought
of course) but suppose the Governor
should die. Die right away quick.
Who would maintain his successor in
the mansion for the next eleven
months? The Memphis idea is a very
expensive one.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: For three years and moro the trade unions
nave been coming in on the fight against consuInp-
tion, and now this year in New York City we lind
them joining forces with stronger than ever, and
in a way which is bound to have considerable et-
feet on this problem of the prevention of this
terrible but preventable disease
In place of ignorance and indifference. at the
present rate shall soon have public Which,
knows that consumption be prevented. that It
can be cured and that it is foolish. and worse, to
put on an honest and real attempt 10 get we'll;
that sure cures for consumption are merely
methods of obtaining money under false pretences,
that consumption is caused by a germ and that it
is courting death to allow a consumptive who will
not take care of his germ laden sputum to spit on
the hoor OF ones shop or home. These things we
are getting before the unions OF this city by means
OF short talks many of them illustrated with
stereopticon views.
Take, for instance. our record in this respect for
the first week in April we were given the privilege
OF the floor by the following unions: German
Bricklayers Union Il. Carpenters and Joiners as.
United Hebrew Trades Marble Cutters and Settlers.

PLEA FOR EAST SIDE PARK.
Correspondent Urges Improvement, Particu-

TO the EdItor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When the matter OF converting the block
bounded by Allen. Houston, Stanton and Orchard
streets into small park ana playground comes up
before our Board Of Estimate and Apportlonment
for final action. trust that none of its members
viii object on the ground that the city has no
surplus funds to devote to such purposes
To my thinking, could better dispense with
additional bridges. tunnels and elevated railroads
These are simply conveniences while breathing
spaces and recreation centres in the congested
tenement districts of New York are absolute neces-
sites.
Especially is this fact as To the spot referred TO-
for in its vicinity is the most densey populated
area on the face of the civilized world. Here the
Inlted Sta,es Constitution. which is presumed to
guarantee life liberty and the pursuit of happiness
TO every citizen. is obsolete fiction.
This section of city Is "A Veritahle Black Hole
or CALCUTTA Even sunshine and pure air things that
should bc free to all, are shut out by exceptional
circumstances. It's dark. narrow streets. crowded
by pedler stands. push carts and passing vehicles
pedestrians On either side of these thorough
fares every square inch of land is occupied by
tenement houses hIled TO overfowing by tenants
many of whom let and sublet their scanty accom-
modations.
A menace to the health OF the entire city our
sanitary board has without success exhausted
every effort In It's power to better this anomalous
state of affairs. and "a natural sequence the
O. n rate is appalling.
cat worse than all this is the unhappy condi-
tim OF myriads of little ones, whom an unfortu-
nate fate compels 10 pass their chtldhoods days

their future wellbeing.
If the city takes the block concerning which
write. this viii be changed. and a dirty. unhealthy
tract which hitherto has been eyesorc to our
