BRITISH REVOLUTION

~ TUDENTS of international politics
must be amused by the superficial
~ views of various commentators.
1t takes an education to understand
American politics; a special course of
study to get a fairly accurate grasp
of British politics, which at present are
far more complicated than American,
and constant vigilance is the price of
appreciation of world politics in gem
eral.
Among observers who are not super
fetal, much joy will be caused by
contemporaries extraordinary (and
Tory conception of an interesting
political situation in the United King
dom. Our friend has somehow learned
England is at present controlled
politically by a reform party" Gt is a
wonder the use of this expression did
not bring with it wisdom. A strong
accent should be put on the word re
form" And not only England but the
/ United Kingdom is controlled by this
reform party) "and one of the leaders,
in fact the real leader of the same,
! Lloyd George, is an aggressive, though
not noisy, reformer" (Mr. George, by
the way is not an Englishman but a
Cambrian or Welshman).
According to a letter written by a
Londoner on the spot, AND THERE
FORE WE'LL VERSED IN AF
! FAIRS" says our ingenious friend,
the reform party now ruling Great
Britain constantly spends huge sums
of money for political purposes, for
is not confined to general election
times, but goes on when the political
army is on a purely peace footing.
And, horror Of horrors, the money is
mostly raised by squeezing suckers in
tent on gaining peerages, for which
all there is to do is to draw a check
for so many thousand pounds, the fig
ures being gauged by the size of the
honor. Worse and worse, the king is
the fountain head of these honors AND
PROTESTS AGAINST THE HU-
INITIATION TO WHICH HE IS SUB
JECTED in having to sign letters
patent to confer titles on the veriest
noodles, without education, manners
and merit"
Evidently our friend is unable to see
the true reason for the alarmed king
angry but Intellectual protests. The
fact is. Lloyd George is in the act of
carving out his program Of the re-
form of the house of peers, which can
be accomplished only from Within and
by the time the peerage is stuffed with
Georges radicals and with business
men Cwho are certainly pungling up

THE PHILIPPINES

TN the Philippines, Americans are
confronted by a problem on Il
Il small scale similar to the problem
on a large scale which has made Brit
ish rule in Hindustan precarious and
will make it impossible for any white
nation to control all of China. This
is the polylingual habit of oriental and
quasi-oriental (shall we say near-orien-
tal0 peoples. In the Philippines, in
addition to Tagalogs and Visayans,
who. as far as their languages are
concerned, are foreigners to each other,
there are numerous smaller races and
tribes, each of which has its own Ian
guage.
The Philippine commission has en-
deavored to give these people a Ian
guage in common. Their hatred of
Spain is so great they refuse to learn
the Spanish language, and they are
eager to acquire English. Their pres
ent condition has led to several anus
ing situations. At a celebration in one
of the islands, given in honor of Mr..
Taft. he addressed a mass meeting in
the open air. His speech was translat-
ed into Spanish by an interpreter bear
ing a name familiar to readers of
Mark Twain-Ferguson.
In spite of the united oratorical ef-
forts Of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Ferguson,
the audience did not respond to the
S, rtiments uttered in two languages
in fact, was utterly apathetic. The ex-
planation was. the audience understood
neither English nor Spanish, so after
Mr.. Ferguson interpreted Mr.. Taft, it
was necessary some one should inter-
pret Mr.. Ferguson. 1t cannot be doubt
ed many of the inhabitants of the is
lands still comprehend only dimly the
facts of the American occupation. Many
poor creatures believe the Americans
are desperadoes and bandits, who have
seized the islands by main force and
will kill anyone who disputes their
right to rule.
In order to remedy this condition, it
is proposed to send the 100000 Fill
pino children to schools where they
will learn the American language.
There are as yet only 100000 Philippine
children in the American schools and
the entire revenue Of the islands would
not be enough to defray the expense of
educating all the children.
To date, the Philippine islands have
cost the United States almost $500, ,0O0, =
5000 Fully one-fourth of the military
and naval expense of our nation Is de-
voted to them. and the expense of for
tifying them will be enormous. The
Philippine war, and not the Spanish
war, has proved to be "the big war"
The subjugation of the Philippines, and
not the freeing of the Cubans, has
been the costly enterprise.

DECLARES MACHINERY WILL
TAKE PLACE OF CHILDREN

Los ANGELES, Aug. G.-[Editor
Heraldl It is not necessary to pile on
the agony. We are all opposed to child
labor. The parents who send their
young children to work would not do
so but for the Internal struggle they
have to make to live. The capitalist
does not employ them FOR philan-
thropic reasons or because he likes to
employ them. He employs them from
commercial necessity, He will do away
with them as soon as he can. Will he
put men and women in their places?
Not on your life He might put mon
keys or dogs but the probability is he
will offer prizes for improvements in
his machinery and then the whole fam
lily viii be disemployed.
There was an Outcry against child
labor in San Francisco about ten years
ago. The pitiable condition of the poor
cash boys was pointed out in many a
public speech, so that there was not a
dry eye in the house. The press took
up the cause of the poor cash boy. The
public was advised not to patronize
stores where heartless employers had
little tots who ought to be at school
running up and down their stores from
morning till night.
Well, the agitation won out. But
the victory was the undoing of many
a poor widow and sick father. The
cash boy is no more. A little trolley
on a wire does the work of three of
them. Except the very few jobs given
out to maintain the contrivance no
adults have got to work. Thousands
of children are employed in the rural
districts of California thinning beets.

WANTS ECONOMIC JUSTICE
FOR POOR GIRL THAT SINS

Los ANGELES, Aug. 4.-[Editor
Herald: Permit me, the very first
thing, to correct a statement in the
letter in todays Herald signed Mary
Magdalene and saying that l stand
for the cause of morality"
According to my ideas, if you take
care of the material things the morals
will take care of themselves, with very
slight hints at least. Just give to every
growing girl and boy alike abundance
of wholesome play and a little we'll di-
rected work and their morals Will be
all right. Give to every adult oppor-
tunity, abundance of purposeful work,
of which he receives the full social
return and no more, and there Will
shortly be an end of immortality. But,
meanwhile, and until we are wise
enough to inaugurate that condition
there are some fragrant injustices
which our intelligent sense of what is
best for all ought to tighten.
About the possible dangers to the
moral poise" of individuals consequent
on a new idea, and about which Mary
Magdalene" seems solicitous, | have
'little interest. Let US discuss the
matter from the large social point of
view and leave it To individuals to
take care of the particular effects.
Regarding equal rights for both
sexes. what I Contended for in for
mer letter was that we, society a s a
whole should pass at least equal judg-
ments on men and women for the same
degree of immortality. Mary Magdalene
cites a case showing the man was
worse than the woman, yet he Is lead
ing, she says, a prosperous" and pre-
sumably happy life, while the woman
has been going through seas of tribu-
lation, wholly let me add, because of
the unjust discrimination against the
woman. History and experience give
multitudes of examples of women who
though not up to the highest standards
of morality, according to Mrs. Grundy
were yet useful and even great women
To be sure they were almost always
women who had means, social position
rank" or some other influence that
upheld them and permitted them the
opportunity of work and service, sc
! they proved their worth.
It is the poor girl, the girl who has
nothing to depend on but her own hand
and brain that suffers most. Give her
economic justice and she will be strong
enough to sustain herself. But as ii
is, if she vary by hairs breadth from
/ the straight and narrow, very narrow
path she becomes a social outcast. Sc
/ she is crowded out and too often be-
comes the prey of the white SLAYER
But, of course. it would be too much

doctrine that women should be pure

VOTES FOR WOMEN

4 RNOLD e. WHITE takes the
n gloomy view that if women want
IA political independence they will
have to fight for it. He thinks the re-
cent clashes between suffragettes and
authorities in England were the open
ing encounters of what may ne a great
civil war. If woman suffrage should
provoke war, our readers must not run
away with the idea the troops would
consist of women in one army, men in
the other. That would be a little too
barbaric, even for our civilization,
which is by far the most barbariC and
bloodthirsty of which there is any rec
ord in the worlds history. But Wom-
en-, it should be remembered, will be
in control OF a large amount of cap
ital Many of them own huge estates
and have big bank accounts, and they
can hire male soldiers by the thousand
It is 10 wonder the more strenuous
of the women are fighting mad, for
the most curious feature of the sit
uation is the almost impossibility of
getting a square political deal for
women from an unprejudiced court or
legislature. The only fair way in
which to determine the question of
woman suffrage would be to submit
the question to the entire community,
women as well as men, giving women
a right to vote ON the subject, and
thereby Of course demonstrating WON
ans fitness and right 10 vote On any
and all public subjects. 1t would not
be fair to submit it to male voters
only. After ALL what right have they
to say whether the women shall OF

is nothing in his teachings that forbids
