The report shows that when Uncle
Sam undertakes a work of any kind
he usually accomplishes much more
thorough job than any local political
subdivision. 1t shows that in directing
the affairs of the Philippine Islands
Uncle Sam has completely assumed
the white mans burden, setting up a
primary school system on a standard
high above that of rural education in
the United States.
So we'll adapted to the needs of the
Philippine people is the school system
that a great authority of education
who has been in the Philippines re-
Gently called it the greatest primary
school system in the world
Vocational education in the primary
schools of the Philippines is being
strongly developed by the Americans
in charge. This is due to a number of
reasons. In the first place the Filipi-
nos mature early in life. If the man
ual training were left to the high
schools, as it is largely in this coun.
try, few of the natives would take
advantage of it, since by the time they
reach high school age most of the

President Wilson refused TO recog-

ground that its head reached power
Through a brutal and cowardly muir
der. Recent events prove the presl;

policy toward Mexico has not borne
fruit, but it is right, eternally right
Those who doubt the wisdom OF the

There is one thing to remember
about the seeming unsuccess' Of
President Wilson's policy in Mex
leo. Every move that we make
Tor righteousness, every disap-

If Provisional President Huerta of
Mexico should deliberately undertake
to justify to the world the policy of
the present administration at Wash
ington in dealing with the Mexican
situation he would scarcely be able
to pursue a more effective course
than the one he has been pursuing.
President Wilson's way is not the
European way. Nations beyond the
Atlantic early accorded recognition to
the man who came into power in
Mexico by a palace revolution sup
plemented by deliberate assassina-
tion. Foreign newspapers and diplb-
mats expressed disdain and contempt
for the Wilson policy, which based
upon moral grounds its refusal TO &C.
cord recognition to Huerta. Euro
pean diplomacy as a rule takes little
account of morals, though 1t was long
before King Peter, successor to the
assassinated King Alexander of Ser
via, was recognized by other nations.
Since Huerta is in control. they ask,
why not recognize that fact and deal
with the situation accordingly.
But President Wilson declined TO
encourage unprincipled generals" of the
Latin republic of the western hemis-
phere in the belief that power acquir-
ed would be recognized no matter
what might be the methods used in
acquiring it. Now the Huerta regime

O,HARA. CRUSADER.

II Lieutenant Governor Barrett
oHara can accomplish the reform in
vice and industrial conditions that he
has been striving for since he entered
upon his Office, he will have succeeded
in an achievement that viii place his
name among those of the great cru.
saders of modern times. That Lieu
tenant Governor O'Hara is deeply in
earnest in his efforts for a greater hu-
mainly, that he has made a study of
the proposition in all its ramifications
and bearings, and that he is posted in
every phase Of It, is at once clear to
all who converse with him on the sub
ject or hear him speak His all too
brief talk at the Rock Island club
luncheon yesterday noon proved an
awakening and made a deep impress
sion.
The Illinois Vice commission, of
which the lieutenant governor is the
head, and in the performance of the
mission of which he came to Rock Is
land TO make some investigations, is
not only doing a great work, but 1t is
getting at the bottom Of the causes OF
deplorable conditions. The way out OF
this unfortunate state of affairs is to
be found only in the uplift, industrially
as we'll as socially. A better wage to
girl labor in particular will prove the
most potent instrument for the strik-
ing down Of white slavery.
Compel the commercial and indus
trial institutions, particularly in the
larger cities, to pay living wage, and
the competing institutions in the
smaller communities will be able to
hold up their own and sustain them
! selves. The mail order houses were
cited as a special Illustration of the
requirements in this respect
Lieutenant Governor O'Hara's cru
SADIE is for a living wage such as will
enable the employe TO be self-respect-
/ ing as well as self-sustaining. He is
aiming no shaft at employers as a
class, but only at the grinding and OPP
pressive and INSCRIPTIONS, which he
has found, much to his own satisfac-
| ton and qualification, are in a minor
| ity. He believes there is but one
agency that can remedy the evils that
/ exist, and that is TO be provided by
| the state. That the state may act in
/ telligently and with full knowledge of
/ the facts, the Illinois Vice commission,
Of which he is the moving spirit, is
now accommodating evidence on which

THE MONROE DOCTRINE AND MEN

JUsTIFYING WILSON'S POLICY

in Mexico is crumbling. When chief
executive, in order to maintain him
self, must cause the arrest of hun
bred members of the nations legiss
lative body because they have ex-
pressed disapproval of his actions
the end is not far distant. 1t is evil
dent, in view of this and other recent
developments that any election held
with Huerta in control must be a
farce.
What Mexico and all other republics
must have if they are to thrive is
stable government based upon the
popular will, not succession of
strong" governments based upon
brute force and welded by army Of.
ficers actuated by instincts of plumber.
President Wilson's course in dealing
with the Mexican situation means
much for the future stability of gov.
ernments in this hemisphere, since il
must have a most discouraging effect
upon INSCRIPTIONS men of the Huerta
type.

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE q. TAvENNER
CONGRESSMAN from the Fourtsenth pIstrset.

Filipino children are out earning their
own livings. Consequent, it is IN the
lower grades that the yocations are
taught
Then again there is the greatest
necessity for vocational training In
the islands. The islands are not an
industrial country. There are no rae
tories near at hand to teach appren-
tice boys the skilled trades as soon
as they are ready to leave school.
Unless the children are taught these
trades In the schools few of them are
ever likely TO have profitable occupa-
lions. The archipelago is agricultural.
Most of the school boys are destined
to become farmers. And unless they
are taught in school the scientific
methods of agriculture they will cling
| to the archaic farming practices OF
their ancestors. And the girls are
never likely to learn scientific and
sanitary cookery and other household
arts unless taught by the American
teachers, for the whole nation is like
a child learning the white mans civ
iliSation.
Consequently, the Philippine school
system has been adapted to these
needs. And the figures submitted in
the report show the extent to which
vocational training has been carried
Last year 30,327 Filipino boys
were enrolled in the corn growing
contests. In the United States, with
several times the population of the
islands. only about 100000 boys were
so enrolled. Ninety-three per cent OF
all pupils enrolled, or practically ev
cry pupil above kindergarten age, tool
some kind of industrial training. The
report shows that 1883 boys tool
trade and shop work; 100,64S boys
took gardening and farming; 1885
girls took gardening; s3,193 girls stud
led household arts. Among the craft:
taught were lace making, embroidery
cooking, hat making, mat making ant
basket making There we're 33,71E
home gardens and 1910 school gar
dens.
/ Concrete results were seen in the
great improvement in the quality anC
quantity of fresh vegetables sold il
markets all over the islands. and II
the 100 per cent increase in export!
!, of embroideries since 1911.

CANAL COMMISSION SEEKS GENU-
INH GREENHEART.

Clayton d. Nell of the United States
forest service sailed today from New
York for British Guiana to inspect
greenheart timber to be used in the
construction of docks and other marine
works for the Panama canal. He goes
at the request of the isthmian canal
commission, in order that the engi-
neers may be sure that they are get
ting genuine greenheart timber. for
which number Of inferior substitutes
are offered.
Genuine greenheart has the reputa-
ton of being the most resistant wood
to the attack of marine borers and TO
decay. Borers are especially bad in
tropical waters. The wood is. in ad-
dition, hard, heavy and durable, and
not subject to damage from impact
and wear. Indisputable records show
that the best grades OF this wood sur
pass iron and steel as to lasting quail
ties in contact with salt water. 1t has
been known and used since 1863. Logs
have remained intact under water for
100 years. Lock gates in English
canals have been made of II for years
and the only limit OF their durability
so ~ las been the length of service
Of their iron bolts and fastenings,
which usually can be renewed without
much trouble. Greenheart in Liver
pool lock gates built in 1856. removed
TO allow a deepening and widening of
the ship channel in 1894, was used over
again when the gates were recon
structed. The stills and tenders of the
lock gates at Panama will be made
I of greenheart and much Of the docks
will be constructed of the same mate
rial.
Nansen's ship, the Fran. and the
antarctic vessels, Discovery, used by
one Of the Scott expeditions, and the
Gauss, used by Drygalsld, were all
planked with greenheart.
The exceedingly great durability OF
the wood is said TO be due, at least in
part, TO the presence of an alkaloid.
which is used as a substitute for Gin.
chona, the basis of quinine.
A number Of other woods which
grow with greenheart in the tropical
forests of the GUianas resemble II 81
closely that they are likely to deceive
even an expert. They have many of
the qualities of the genuine timber
but in a lesser degree. Some are quite
inferior, and II is essential that they
should be avoided. In order that the
canal commission may be sure of the
right wood, II asked the forest service
TO assist II in an investigation Of the
greenheart situation in British Guiana
and Mr.. Melrs present trip is a result
OF that request
From the isthmus OF Panama MI
Nell will go 'directly TO Demerara
British Guiana, the principal port O
export for greenheart He will be &C
companied by member Of the com
mission. and win see all the operation,
OF numbering in order that the tru,
i greenheart may be selected and iden
titled without possibility OF error. II.
will ascertain where the genuine car
: be obtained in sufficient quantities ant

are to be avoided and prepare specih
cations which. Incorporated in pun

thing but genuine greenheart,
