TABU
IN PHILIPPINES
BILL TO SHUT OUT ALIEN
FAVORABLY REPORTED.

Manila Observation-Disclosures: The
Assembly bill prohibiting the employ
ment of foreigners as engineers and
assistant engineers in ships engaging
in the inter-island shipping trade in
the Philippines has been reported back
to the house favorably by the naviga-
tion committee.
In it's report the committee states
that the bill met with the spontane-
Gus approval of the committee because
it tended to Rationalize the service Of
naval engineers. 1t considers the bill
a very patriotic one.
I'VE nave" says the committee, "a
large number of apt, able and respon-
sible Filipino engineers whose places
in our inter-island craft are occupied
by foreigners and there is therefore no
excuse for the employment of the for
eigners. The continued employ
ment of foreign engineers in our inter-
island vessels places to a certain ex-
tent, stigma of ineapability and ir-
responsibility upon our national en-.
| gineers
The bill provides that on and after
July l., next, no license or certificate Of
service shall be issued to any person
wha is not a citizen of the United
States or of the Philippine Islands mol
will the renewal OF such license o.
certificate formerly granted be permit
ted, for engineers and assistant engi
neers in the interisland service.
Foreigners who shall have married
native women and raised families prio
to April II, 1899, shall not be disquali
fled to act as engineers and assistan
engineers in this service.

japan and the Fleet.

The correspondence between Ambas-
sador Takahira and the State Depa rtment
on the subject of the fleet is in a spirit
that makes for universal comfort. 1t will
do more than strengthen the bonds of
friendship between Japan and America,
effective as it will be in that respect. We
shall see it reflected in far wider rela-
tions. For one thing it will deduct ma
teria1ly from the capital of the European
jngoes 1t may not put them out of bust
ness-for they are persistent and re-
soufceful lot-but they will be the weaker
for having to part with a theme they
have been developing with some skill.
Uncle Sam is not their honey boy for
purposes of working the stock market,
or for precipitating world conflict. They
must turn elsewhere for means of a live
lihood.
That Japan will welcome the fleet in all
sincerity nobody need doubt. Its recep-
ton is certain to be all that America
could desire. Why not? Nothing of a re-
sponsible character that has been said by
either Japan or America since the fleets
journey to the Pacific was first announced
prise. or other than appropriate. The
ernments have not for a moment been
interrupted. So that it was only natural
for Japan to invite the feet to call, and
for this government to accept the invita-
ton. After the long journey is over 1t
will probably appear that at no port Of
call did the fleet receive a heartier greet
ing or appreciate courtesy more than at
the Japanese port.
All the calculations of the alarmists.
both real and feigned, are being upset.
Matters are not shaping for war. but for
stronger peace. This journey of the
fleet may prove to be one of our greatest
contributions to the good feeling of the
world. AS il is not threat, and is not
being accepted as such. it is naturally
operating as a promoter of friendship.

sphere have responded warmly to our over

WASHINGTON and the Gambling Evil.

If the advocates of race track gambling
in this District sincerely believe that there
is no strong public sentiment against that
evil they are sadly in error. The capt.
tai community has had enough of this
demoralizing form Of money wasting and
is at present only in doubt-where doubt
exists-as to what steps are required I'M
der the law to put an end to it quickly

Washington are in the main OPP
posed to the Benning gambling for two
reasons. They deplore the demoralizlng
effect of the semi-annual opportunity for
unlimited. betting offered to the youth OF
the District. and they have abundant evil
dence that this twiceyearly indulgence
costs the local merchants heavily. The
records of the courts bear distressingly
convincing witness to the former fact.
while the books of the business men show
heavy losses resulting from the March
and November betting of their customers.
1t is claimed that the race track people.
who thrive the betting almost eX-
clusively bring large sums of money TO
Washington and spend most of it here.
and that therefore it is to Washington
interest to allow the game to be played
at Bennins without stint This is
shameful argument. if sound. But it is
neither sound nor worthy. 1t is untrue
that the race track fraternity spend here
more than they take away. In the au-
tumn they carry off TO New Orleans the
greater part OF the money that has been
dropped" by the local victims of their
carefully devised system of odds and in
the spring they take to New York the
bulk of the betting funds of the District.
What they spend here in hotel bills and
high living during the six weeks of their
stay is only small percentage of. what
they take from the patrons of their books
al Benning.
But whatever the fact may be in this
regard. the demoralizing influence of the
betting ring remains. vicious thing to
be attacked by every Washingtonian who
believes in right living and who deplores
the evil tendencies of a certain class of
the younger citizens. How many times
