A PHILIPPINE PROTEcroRATE.

One Of the prominent speakers at
the Lake Mohonk conference makes
the suggestion that the Philippines be
given an autonomous government un-
der the joint protectorate Of the prin-
cipal nations Of the world. His plan
is that each Of the nations participant
ing in the protectorate shall designate
q member or members Of a superior
assembly. which shall constitute the
senate of the nation. and that sub
ject to the approval of this body. and
the chief executive. the Filipinos shall
manage their own affairs.
It is said that this suggestion has
been forwarded to President Wilson,
but no intimation has been given as
to his opinion on it. II he has formed
one. From the standpoint Of those
who have been clamoring for COM
plete independence for the Philippines
this plan is open to the objection that
the people there will still be in leading
strings, government by one foreign
nation being merely superseded by
government by half a dozen. An, ad-
vantage in the plan. regarded from
the standpoint both Of the. United
States and Of the Fllipinos. is that
such an, arrangement would remove
the archipelago from the field OF
worked politics inasmuch as the is
lands could no longer be regarded an
aYpossible prize for some hungry in
vader. The people themselves would
feel secure, and the United States
would be relieved Of the trouble and
risk of protecting the islands, which
she mus do SO long as they remain
Iii her possession.

Stories That Have

A tourist in rural Scotland. who
took refuge for the night in the cot
tage of an old lady, asked her to
wake him early in the morning. He
warned her that he was quite deaf and
hoped that she would not disturb the
other guests by any loud noises.
Upon awakening much later thar
the appointed hour. he found that the
old lady. with strict regard for pro-
prieties, had slipped under his door
a slip of paper upon which was writ

APPLES.

Those of US who remember the ap-
pies Of our youth. and have been try
ing in vain to get some just as good,
will appreciate this from the New
York Times:
I'm spite of a vague suspicion that
there is a slight element of the COM
mercialism' we all SO vehelnently con-
tenn in the efforts to add a National
Apple Day to the list of days We al
ready celebrate, SO admirably in every
way ia this particular fruit that the
dreadful suspicion shall for once be
ignored, even at the risk OF having
these lines held a mere reading no.
t;ce' for the American. Apple Ship
pers' association.
Lest the members of the associa-
ton be too much delighted at getting
some of the editorial page space-and
without an adv mark, either-for
which all business men yearn. it shall
promptly be set down that they are
not half as much loved and respected
by their fellow-countrynlen az they
might be or as they would be were
they SO to improve their shipping ia
cilities and methods that something
more. instead Of a good deal less, than
half the annual apple crop could be
brought to market and sold for rea-
sonable prices, not the ahsurdly and
outrageously high ones that now pre-
vail. That is true. but it does not pre-
vent apples from ranking high among
natures best gifts to man.
Good apples that is OF course.
there are certain large and highly col
ored objects passing under the name
of apples that do not deserve 1t, for
all real apple qualities have been bred
or trained out Of them, and in place
thereof are substituted just two-skin-
deep beauty n endurance of long
transportation.
Apples properly SO called are very
different things. They grow fairly
near the place Of consumption, they
are allowed to ripen on the trees, and
they subordinate color to favor. firm
mess o texture to a gratifying juic-
:ness. Such apples deserve 10 he cell
tsbrated. and to have a day set apart
for eating them with something Of
formal ceremony would not be unde-
served. For all-around sober merit
no fruit of the temperate cline rivals
the best. or even the better. apples.
The tropics supply only two-the ban
n n the pine-that do it. and
their rivalry is not at all dangerous.
TO he sure. apples are mostly wa
ter-Eood apples, at ~least-so little
can he claimed for them as tissue
builders. but they materially as we'll
as cllarn1jngly assist the digestion OF
real foods, and their acids and
engines are efficient promoters Of
health. Apples did not originate on
this side Of the water, but they long
since became as good Americans as
any of us, inc none better than our
beet. if as fine. are grown in any 9TH
