The Hon. Dean G. Worcester, retiring secre-
tary Of the interior for the Philippines, smites
hard when he smites, but he can smite and smile
also. In the course of speech at Manila re
markable for its grave condemnation of the adj
Irinistration's Philippine policy, there are many
flashes OF keen humor. At one point he told of
the filing of his resignation some weeks earlier
and Of his efforts to leave the office (not unlike,
by the way, Governor Frear's attempts.to escape
from the executive chair). Said Mr.. Worcester
"Finally, to my profound satisfaction, was
