THE PHILIPPINE ELECTION

Inc Presidents order TO the Philippine Com.
mission for the general election OF delegates
TO the first Philippine Assembly is an exact
and scrupulous keeping Of faith with those
islands and a fulflment OF the terms OF the
law Of July 1, 1902. The conditions Of that
law were most reasonable, and were generous
as well as prudent simply requiring that peace
ana order should be satisfactorily esta blished
IN the islands and that a census of the In
habitants should be made to provide a basis
for the apportionment of representatives Those
conditions have been complied with, and ac-
cordingly on July 80 next the general election
Will be held and the Philippines will be en-
dOwed with a national parliament
The facile fOUt is offered that America has
not been nearly as prompt in giving self-eov-
eminent to the FilipinOs as Great Britain has
been in giving it TO the Beers. It would be as
sensible TO complain that Arizona was NOT made
state Of this Union as promptly as California
Any pretence that the FillpinOs. entirely devoid
OF experience in responsible enforcement
and divided into number of more or less an
tagonistic peoples, are politically comparable
with the inhabitants of the Trausyaal who
have had many years OF orderly and successful
selfgoyernment and more than half OF whom
are OF English birth, is simply absurd. More
over, the relation OF the Philippines TO the
United States Is, and always must be, radically
different from that Of the Transvaal 10 the
United Kingdom. Such sneers and carping at
our governments policy fatally expose the
weakness OF an opposition which is driven to
them.
What win come Of the election and OF the
Assembly is, OF course yet 20 be seen. There
Is, we believe good ground for most favorable
s1teipations. The FIiplnos have learned much
IN these last few years concerning the inten-
tons and requirements OF the United States
and also concerning their own best interests.
They realize that they are now, ln a supreme
measure, on trial before this country and the
world. and that the opportunity Is within their
| grasp OF proving their fitness for self, govern

Everybody interested in better local govern
ment and the eXtirpation of honest graft
will approve the purpose Of the Fuller bill al
fecting corporation inspectors. which will have
n hearing in the Senate Cities Committee on
April > This measure is a modification of the
Saxe-Staney bill introduced earlier in the seS-
sion in both branches with the approval of the
New York Civil Service Reform Association. It's
object is To revise the system OF appointing in
snectors to supervise such work as the opening
Of streets in which pipes or wires must be laid
or vaults constructed. At present the Presl-
dent Of each borough has the power to deSig-
nate inspectors. who receive 50 day, paid by
the corporations doing the excavatIng. There
are practically no restrictions on the power OF
appointment and no guarantees of the quality
of the inspection furnished These soft jobs
are sought by political workers, many of whom
do only a nominal service. The arrest and i'm
dictment of Superintendent UIrlch in Brooklyn
threw some light on the workings of the in
spection system for the grand jury charged
that appointments were being sold and that
about three times as many watchers were on
the roll as were really needed to supervise
the relaying of pavements.
The Fuller bill aims at putting the inspection
system on a more businesslike basis The APP
pointment of inspectors is to be controlled by
the Municipal Civil Service Commission and
they are to be paid out of the city treasury, al
though the cost Of the supervision is TO he
borne as formerly. by the corporations tearing
up the streets. But the work of inspection is
10 be regularized. and the chances ofTOllusiOn
between corporations and corrupt or ncOmpe-
tent inspectors are to be reduced to the mini
mum. 1t is only fair to say that some Of the
borough presidents heartily favor the change
as a step toward better administration. The
only opposition to it come from the poll
ticians who are reluctant TO surrender the
right TO peddle out appointments or from dis
turbers of the streets VINO do not wish to have
their work submitted to genuine inspection.
