 BETTER ACTION AT THE THIRD AVENUE-Due credit should be given the Streeter- Bryan company for the presentation last night of the re- nowned Uncle Toms Cabin" They certainly made a few improvements in the action of the piece as well as in the rendering of the lines. The plan tation scene last night was particu- larly pleasing the negroes singing and dancing in a much more at-hOme man ner. The first night is admittedly hard, as a rule, particularly when two bills a week are the order, and that may account for the vast improvement last night. Tonight and the matinee this afternoon will see Uncle Tom holding the boards and on Sunday evening a drawing room play will be given. It is known as "A Woman of Society"

are three to one that sooner or
later they will involve us in war.
If China and Japan ever get to-
geather and China gets a modern
up-to-date government with such
a military government as is al
together possible and probable,
then the two of them, China and
Japan can take the Philippine
islands away from us whether
we like it or not. If it is posi-
BILE to get rid of them, honorably,
that is the thing to do.
It makes US sore to think of
the hundeeds of millions of dol
lars we have spent and are spend
ing on islands 1000 miles from
home and on a canal that may or
may not be of any great benefit
to us after it is dug, when the
same money might have been
spent in improving our own
rivers, in cutting interior canals,
in building wagon roads and in
taking steps to prevent the dam
ages from food waters that now
cause damages that can hardly
be computed in dollars and cents.
If we had as much sense as we
blow about having we would
keep our money at home, develop
our internal resources, stop build
ing vast warships which we have
no need for except to defend our
foreign possessions; cut down our
standing army to the force re-
quired for police protection; turn
a lot of shoulder strapped dudes
loose with the injunction to earn
their bread in some line of peace
full and Legitimate business; cut
down the appropriations for army
and navy from more than a
quarter of a billion every year to
about 10 million.
But we are not going to have
sense enough to do that. We
will strut and swell and talk
about-out destiny and the neces-
sity of maintaining our prestige
as world power and spend hun
dreds of millions annually on
ships and military equipment
and finally get into a war that
will cost 3 or 4 billions of dollars
and maybe a quarter million
lives.

Dancer of Tho PhiIippines

It doesn't take much sense to
understand the real reason why
the president is worried about
the manner in which California
is legislating against the Japan
csc is on account of the Philip
pines, says the Mail and Breeze,
If we didn't have the Philip
pine islands to take care OF is
there any one who would think
for a minute that it would be
necessary to worry about what
Japan might think of the legis-
lation of California or of Nevada?
If we were not loaded up with
the islands the coast states might
pass all the separate school laws
their legislators wanted to pass
and it would never raise the fear
of a war with Japan. If Japan
did not like the way her citizens
were treated in the matter OF
school privileges in this country
the said citizens could 60 back
home, but there would be no
talk even of war. japan could
not come across the ocean to
lombard San Francisco or any
other Pacific coast town.
But so long as we have control
of the Philippine islands there is
a constant danger of trouble.
Not that the Japs are hankering
for a war with this country.
They have too much sense tor
that. Not that they are afraid
to fight even the United States,
but because they have not the
money. However, the Japs un-
derstand our weakness IN the
matter of the Philippine islands.
They could send an army and
navy over there big enough to
take the islands in a week or two
weeks at the farthest and then
we would have a long hard fight
to get them back again.
We have no doubt that in the
course of time we could wear
Japan out. We have the men
and the money, but it would cost
us 3 billion dollars and nobody
knows how many men. The
Philippine islands will always be
a source of weakness and expense
to this country. The chances
