SPECULATE ON OUTCOME
OF DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
Believed in Some Quarters
That Champ Clark Will Be
! Selected for Speaker.

Tomorrow nights caucus of democratic
members-elect of the next House of Rep
resentatives will be called to order by
Representative Clayton, chairman of the
caucus. Representative Hay of Virginia
will be permanent chairman.
1t was said today that the caucus Will
pose of all doubt upon that score by de-
claring in favor of Champ Clark.
The advocates Of the plan to have the
tentative committee on ways and means
select the committees were very confident
today that they would be able to put
through their plan, and that the caucus
would authorize the tentative committee
on ways and means to act as committee
on committees and make up the COM
mittee assignments during the summer
and fall
Many democratic members-elect OF the
next House OF Representatives were at
the Capitol today, Just looking 'em
over" as one Of them said. glancing
around at the scene OF prospective labors.
The big democratic dinner at Baltimore
last night, and the caucus of the House
democrats scheduled for tomorrow night
brought them here.
Hopeful Of Coming Caucus.
All democrats We're discussing today
the coming caucus. The burning question
was whether the caucus shall do anything
more than select a tentative committee
on ways and means to conduct tariff
investigation during the recess of Con-
gress.
Some democrats are intent upon having
the caucus settle the policy OF committee
assignments; that is to say, to decide now
whether committees shall be selected as
heretofore by the Speaker OF the House
or whether they shall be named by q
committee on committees.
Other democrats are disposed to let
that question rest until Congress assem-
bles next December. Some of the new
Neglected members of the House are es-
peciary disposed to the latter plan, as
they feel that they are rather inexperi-
enced and hardly qualified to decide Off
hand such an important policy.
Then there are others who are willing
TO leave all questions OF policy to the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-01-18
Many to Be Heard.

A motion to postpone all questions ex-
cept the selection of tentative commit
tee on ways and means will be offered
early in the meeting and will precipitate
the debate. There is no disposition on
the part of any one to cut off debate, and
many men. will want to be heard.
An effort will be made to postpone de-
Gliding the policy of tariff revision-that
is, whether it is to be Champ Clark S
plan of revision schedule by schedule or
Senator Bailey's plan of revising all the
schedules at once.
Some democrats today expressed the
fear that unless the caucus moves very
warily. one result will be to disclose at
this time the dissension within the party
ranks on the question of tariff revision.

Film Shows Waking Up The East.
Those who devote serious study
to our Philippine problem and we
believe their number is greater than
many imagine-will find a rather
Teassuring note in certain writings
by Henry X. Webster published in
one of the magazines for May.
The article is made up of a series
OF incidents with appropriate com
ment, which, without critcising
either, contrasts British Government
in India with American Government
in the Philippines.
In India the one inviolable COM
mandment is that the Englishman
must surround himself with evil
dences of superiority. A native
must not use English in addressing
an Englishman He must use his
own native tongue, language of in
feriority. The EngliShman must
make a sort of king of himself,
must not perform mental tasks even
if he is a very obscure En9lishman,
must at all times and at all places
keep line drawn between hiluself.
as a member Of q higher castle, and
the natives.
But in the Philippines the author
found a counterpart of our shirt
sleeve diplomats in shirt-sleeve civ
il administrators. At Jolo the Gov
ernOr caught hold" of one end of
the authors trunk and helped to
carry it up to the administration
house. At ball game in Baguilo
a base runner bOWled over the little
first baseman, but the latter hung
onto the ball and the base runner
was called out. Making inquiry as
to who the plucky little fellow on
first was the author discovered that
he was the Governor General of the
whole archipelago.
Americans assert superiority over
Filipinos, but there is no fiub-dub
about it. 1t is the unceremonious
superiority of the foreman of the
construction gang in dealing with
his men Sitting natives don't rise
as a mark of respect when a minor
white functiOnary makes his appear
ance. Americans may not govern
as we'll as EngIishmen in some ways
but they govern with a sense of
humOr, get in close touch with the
individual native and an the whole
show a brOtherly spirit toward the
little brown brothers.
If Englismen have ruled India
100 years without enlightening or
lettering the 3OO.O0OOOO natives
very much and without much real
impress on their language and GUS
toms, the author suspects there is a
reason for it. He doesn't take much
stock in the adage, You can't
change the East" A wave of Budd-
hism changed it once and a wave of
Mohammedanism changed it again
later. Maybe another gospel is to
change it again. Anyway, the great
American school-teaCher will have
all the Filipinos speaking English in
a few years and assimilating Amer
iCanism in large quantities.
The moving picture show Mr..
Webster regards as the most revolu-
tionary of all agencies in the East
today. 1t is found everywhere.
