A Family of Wolves.


What chance would a Philippine
Republic have for survival among
such family of wolves as now oc-
cupy the chess-board in the great
game of international politics? There
are not enough pawns to begin to go
around.
This is only the external view of
the situation. The internal condi-
tons merit consideration.
This fertile land lies largely idle
for the want of hands and facilities
to produce the food to maintain the
scant population that exist. If a ship
laden with imported food be delayed
a month, a district is threatened with
famine. Let foreign fleet blockade
the Philippine ports for ninety days
and the people must, from hunger,
sue for peace at any price.
Insect and fungus pests have de-
stroyed your coffee and cacao fields.
Cattle pests have laid your plows
idle and your fields have been claim
ed by the jungle. Locust pests have
destroyed the small fields which you
laboriously cultivate. Drought has
taken its toll. Epidemic disease has
repeatedly and persistently decimat-
ed your population. Nearly six out
of every ten of your babies born, lie
before attaining a productive age,
Your population is divided into many
tribes, with many dialects, with
varied tastes, ambitions and customs,
nlteracy prevails; very small per
centage of the population being able
to read and write.
Conditions Of Unity Lacking
There being no comfy of language,
religion, customs, thought and
ambition, there cannot be in any
large measure unity in national
spirit. A highly educated population
is not difficult to govern, and the
higher 1t advances in the intellec
tual scale the nearer it approaches to
becoming self-goyerning.

the following address to the Filipnos
appears in English and Spanish par
allel columns:
To the Filipinos:
The Herald desires to direct this
particularly to you. We have no fav'
ors to ask except that kind and
courteous treatment that we have al
ways received at your hands. We
assure you that We appreciate this
courtesy and have no other desire
than to extend cordial, sincere court.
esy in return. With this prelmin'
airy understanding let us speak with
frankness.
A number of the Filipino people
have laudable desire to so perfect
themselves in the art of self-govern
ment as to be able to acquire an
independent national existence. For
this ambition We commend you. It
is a noble aim, and as a people we
wish you all progress, prosperity and
happiness.
There are some practical Difficult
ties, however, which tend to obstruct
the attainment of such laudable am
bition.
The family of nations is composed
of jealous members. The competition
between nations for industrial eX.
istence has become so keen that
any sentiment which blossoms in the
heart of the individual man gives
place to cold, practical economic
problems which largely shape inter.
national policies
The need for expansion, to give
place to the activities of the increas
ing population of the world, is a de
mand which can no more be curbed
than can Taal Volcano be restrained
The nations of Europe are all seek
ing opportunities for colonization and
trade expansion and they are prepar
ed to back the demand by force OF
arms, and are for that purpose main
tanning vast armies and navies.
China Stopping over.
China, with her 45O,0O0,OOO of peo
pie is using the world as a vent and
has already stopped over into the
land bordering on the Pacific unit
her blood largely dominates trade anC
industrial conditions, particularly il
these islands. China and Japar
and portions of Europe have reached
a stage of congested population
where a day of idleness on the par
of the individual means a day o.
hunger
The great wars of the past have
nearly all been brought about b!
conditions incident to this need of eX
pansion of the nations.
This is strenuous time for nationa
existence. Japan is struggling unde
debt which would crush a less couT
ageous people. Old as the civilization
of China is she is torn by internecin,
strife and besieged from without b!
no less than six nations, all clamor
ing for territory or trade privileges
and each nation is prepared to bacI
it's demands by force of arms.
The less powerful nations of tn,
world have largely lost their identi
ty. They dance to the tunes of thos
with the big ships.
If the United States is more gen
erous than other nations in this grea
world game, it is only because as We
her need for expansion is less keenl

PARCELS POST WILL ADD TO
OUR COMMERCIAL ADVANT TAGES
Local Postal Officials Predict Industrial Expansion as Result
Of New Measure we.-Expected TO Be Passed at
This Session Of Congress.

The parcels post bill. now before
congress and which prominent con-
gressmen predict will become a law,
means much TO Grand Junction in
Its development as a wholesaling
center. Under the provisions of this
law the United States will be divid-
ed into zones and in each zone will
be one charge for goods transported
wholly within that zone, and an in
creased cost on goods coming from
another zone, the increase being reg
ulated according to the distance of
the zone OF origin from the zone of
destination. Each zone would be
about $50 miles square. All pack
ages not greater than 72 inches in
length and girth combined and not
weighing more than 12 pounds may
be handled by the postoffice under
the provisions Of this proposed new
law, while, at the same time, the
fourth-class or merchandise rates
will be discontinued.
Should this bill become a law,
there are great benefits in store for
this city. Between the Rockies on
the east and Salt Lake on the west
are many small communities which
have none of the wholesale-house ad-
vantages. Grand Junction lies CEN
trally in the above named territory
The daily sentinel., 1912-08-20

and could serve the localities much
more cheaply than any other city,
because of its geographical situa-
tion. For this reason, the impression
that the big cities and not the small
would be benefited is erroneous.
Wholesale and jobbing houses in
Grand Junction could distribute over
this entire territory of western Colo
RADIO and eastern Utah, which would
mean a great impetus to our COM
mercial development.
Increase Jobbing Business.
Our merchants now enjoy an eX-
tensive patronage from outlying Sec
tions; but, when this bill will have
been passed, there are far greater
opportunities for our commercial eX-
pansion, according to local postal of
ficials. The cost of transportation
from Chicago or New York, for eX-
ample, would be greater under the
provisions of this act to points on the
western slope than if the goods were
shipped out of Grand Junction to the
various local points, while almost
every article which anyone would
care to buy could be purchased of To-
cal jobbers at eastern prices less the
cost of transportation that would be
charged under the provisions OF this
measure.

Again the attempt of Harry K. Thaw Go secure his release from Matteawan is Co come before the court in New York He is thus making the only fight he has to secure his liberty. In- sanity was the only plea he had in defense of his act, and on that alone he was committed to the prison asy- lum. He is now endeavoring to secure his liberty and escape the penalty of the murder on the ground that he has recovered his sanity.
 The trial was a hard-fought battle and it happens that the man who search for the truth. District Attorney Jerome. is now out of the office No one was so familiar with the mass of evidence and circumstances connected with the case as AIr. Jerome, and the state finds itself handicapped for that reason in working up the opposition Co the petition.
 That it will be opposed is certain, but no one has the tangle so well in hand as the ex- district attorney, and the suggestion that he be called into the matter should be needed. There is a feeling that under the present application Thaw will go free unless d master key like the knowledge of the intricacies of Thaw's insanity is at hand There can be no question but what the state should oppose the petition with its ablest counsel and in this Instance Jerome is the man.

There is general satisfaction in the announcement that the end of the Ti- tanic inquiry is in sight. The feeling prevails that such a conclusion is log ical and that the time has come to stop. The committee has done some excellent work in gaining the facts that have been brought to light and it could not be expected that any inn portant additions to the already great mass of testimony could be obtained. There is sufficient quantity of evil dence on which to base legislation which will serve to remedy the condi- tions under which the Titanic was lost It will follow along certain lines to safeguard the lives of passengers, both with a view to taking needless chances in operating the ship for speed or mercenary objects. and also regu- lations as to the provision of sutii- cient lifeboats and wireless operators.
