The Election in the Philippines.

''S @'SSs'Ou III Tic VIttIPHIuCSs
With all their mock heroics about
"liberty"-which to them, in most in
stances means license-the inhabitants
of the Philippines appear to be taking
very little interest in the experiment
in self-government which was in
augurated Monday with an election of
members of the lower house of the
assembly at which a very meagre vote
was thrown. This result. however.
was foreshown in the general
apathy Of the people, only n small
of whom improved the OPP
portunity to register. Out of total
of 5000, 900. with 100000 men
of voting age, only $1,000 took the
trouble to get their names upon the
voting lists. In Manila itself
with a population Of 100000 only
5000 men registered, of whom
S5o were Americans. Englishmen
have long insisted that the defects of
the Malay character. and the inher-
ent Incidence of the race. rendered
them unfit for self government, and
that any attempt to bring this about
would result in failure. 1t is evident
that Filipinos are as yet a long. long
ways from approaching the spirit and
purpose of popular government as il
has been slowly worked out and per-
fected by the Anglo-SaXons through
long generations of effort and progress

outstanding matters, and that
because of better handling du-

month bore its propotionate
share of expenses. leaving a big
