THE F1h1r1No AND THE pALLor

The effort on the part of Uncle Sam
to give his Filipino wards form of
self government Is attended with re-
suits that are both disappointing and
Illuminating. It's accepted at the War
Department, according to the Wash-
ington Post that the elections disclose
the Filipino az unified for elf-govern
ment even In its rudimentary stages.
The returns show that very small
percentage Of the qualified voters went
to the polls, and that those who were
active In the elections represent the
lowest orders of the people
The inability of the Filirinos to real
ize the responsibilities Of suffrage is
also Indicated army officers assert, by
the fact that Dominador Gomez, a
notorious criminal, was elected to the
Legislature from one of the most i'm
portant OF the Manila districts.
II memory serves us, as far back as
1900 Mr.. WIN. j. Bryan publicly pro-
claimed that f he were President of
the United States he would send a
message to Congress recommending
that the Filipinos be given their indie
pendence at once, established in re-
publican form Of government aud left
to work out their own destiny. Had
his plan been adopted, there would
have followed a period Of revolution.
and chaos, and Japan or some other
power would have captured the islands
and annexed them to her territory.
It Is not given to all peoples to gov.
peculiar talent in that directions; 9TH
crs have shown no talent whatsoever.
But talent or no talent, the art of
self government is a matter Of cultiva-
ton and development! "A nation which
had sbcen held for generations under
the bondage of Spain cannot be eX
pected to acquire the art in few
years. No man is better than his de-
sires, and the same is true of nations.
The Fllipinos have become accustom-
ed to being governed from the outside,
and 1t is evident that they do not
yet desire to govern themselves. The
administration has given them the OPP
portunity and they have declined to
take advantage of it.
"As a rule" says the Washington
Post WAR Department officials ex-
pressed no surprise at the result Of
the elections. The feeling at the de-
partment has been that the lTilpinos
are not competent to administer their
political affairs and that Congress was
entirely too liberal in its legislation
affecting those people"
Yet when the War between the
States was ended, the Federal govern
ment put the ballot into the hands of
a horde OF negro freedmen, who We're
as SO many untutored children, and
turned them loose upon the white peo-
pie of the South. Chickens will come
home to roost.

We are pleased to see in the News
Leader a letter from Mr.. James T..
Cannon, attorney for Mr.. James r. Cor
don, in which he says that there is no
effort or inclination Of his client to as
sail the constitutionality Of the So
called "Jim Grow" law or It's validity
in any respect, to question the wisdom
of its enactment or to thwart its

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.

The State Of Georgia proposes to
try the experiment. Of absolute prohi-
bition of the liquor traffic. The law
just enacted provides that from and
after January l., 1908, no person within
the limits of the State shall sell or
barter for a valuab BILE consideration, or
give away to induce trade, at any
place Of business. or keep or furnish
at any other places. or manufacture
or keep on hand at his place Of bust
ness any alcoh olic splrituous, malt or
Intoxicating bitters or other drinks.
drunk There is to be no dispensary
or drug store trade, no hotel privilege
and no sale wha tsoever Of intoXicat-
ing drinks, with the exception that
licensed druggists may sell pure alco
hol for medicinal purposes only, upon
the written prescription of a regular
practicing physician Of the State; and
wholesale druggists may sell pure al
cohol in Wholesale quantities to regu-
lar licensed retail druggists. to public
pharmaceutical colleges
That such drastic measure could be
passed. by an Overwhelming majority
of the Legislature indicates tho power
of the temperance sentiment In Geor-
| gia, and gives assurance that the peo-
pic at large will uphold the law and
demand Its rigid enforcement Wheth-
err or not It will be found practicable
to enforce the law In all sections
l however remains to be seen, for there
must be some communities In the State
In which there is strong opposition to
I prohibition Suppose, for example, that
a considerable majority Of the people
i OF Atlanta are in opposition, is 1t rea
sonable to suppose that the State law
against the liquor traffic will be gen.
orally obeyed In that city? Herein lies
the weakness of all general prob hi.
