No Peace for Poor, Reliable Mr.. Mccall

Mr. Mccall, the old, reliable, business mans can

other issues have come to the front.
Instead of standing eloquently on platform
beside the American flag and pleading for Tam
many thrift and saving in city affairs Mr.. Mccall
is now hopping up to cry Liar" or Infamous liar
all around the clock
This is a pity. But it az least has the merit OF
getting down TO business. Mr.. McCalls pretty no.
tionS about selling parks may have a certain I'M
portance for children. But any and all opinions OF
his can now possess but the fanteSt, most academic

they want Mr. Murphy's errand boy, however relia-
bic and faithful as Mayor of the City Of New York?

Filipino Commissioners and Filipino
Slavery.

Senator Borah is right in his attitude toward the
Presidents appointment of four Filipinos as Philip
pine Commissioners. There is no opposition to thus
giving the FilipinoS majority control of the conf
mission There may be differences of opinion as to
the eXpediency Of such action but it is agreed that
tie President should have his way in making the
experiment. But beyond doubt the Senate is enti-
tied to know something of the politcal-not parti-
san-prncipes of the appointees, and is under
moral obligation TO insist upon knowing that they
stand right concerning the matter Of slavery.
1t has been explicitly declared by the highest
authority that slavery exists in the islands and that
the Filipino Assembly has refused to egislate
against it. 1t is desirable that the abolition OF
slavery should be effected and enforced by insuar
authority rather than by decree from Washington.
The matter is far too grave and too urgent to be
ignored, or to be slurred over 1t demands prompt
New-York tribune., 1913-10-22

and effective action and such action should have Its
Initiative in the Philippine Commission
These Filipino appointees ought to have no hesi-
tation in declaring themselves unequivocally upon
the matter. If they are opposed to slavery and are
ready to move for its suppression, they should be
eager thus to record themselves. For them to hesl-
tate or to refuse to commit themselves would be to
admit their unftness for the places to which they
have been appointed and to invoke against them the
