A Noble Record for Life and Health
in the Philippines.

One of the most inspiring and convincing demon
STATIONS of the value of American government u
the Philippines is found in the plain record OF
the sanitary regeneration of those lsiahds' our
triumphs over yellow fever and malaria at fanaina
and in Cuba have been much celebrated ana can
not be too highly praised The abatement or tuoer
culosis and other pestilences forms one or the mos
gratifying chapters in recent history But IL seems
probable that the palm for supreme achievement TOT
fife and health should be given to the patent anu
devoted laborers in the Philippines who have oeeh
bearing the white mans burden" amid so much
evil report from the malicious or the uniformed
who seek through some glib shibboleth to balk and
undo work of unsurpassed benevoence.
What does 1t mean that as DR.. Worcester re-
norts elsewhere in our columns to-day, in these
years of American occupation the yearly death roll
from smallpox has been diminished from more than
forty thousand to few hundreds? What does II
mean that Asiatic cholera, which yearly claimed
tens of thousands of victims, has now been ellm
mated? What does it mean that instead OF there
being thirty thousand reputed lepers In the 1siands
treated worse than wild beasts, there are now
only three thousand humanely cared for, and their
number steadily decreasing? What does 1t mean
that bubonc and pneumonia plaques nave oeeh
stamped out and that ameblc dysentery, berloerl
and malaria have been reduced to almost insignin-
cant proportions!
The answer is plain 1t means that American
administration has done and is doing a practicai
work for the welfare of the Filipino people such
as never before was dreamed of in the history OIL
those islands and such as has never been sur
passed If even equalled in the history of the world
More to the point, perhaps, would 1t he 10 ASK
what it would mean to have this work interrupted
and abandoned and the islands permitted to re-
Iapse into their former condition of pestilence ana
deatb. For that is what would happen if the Jones
hill should be enacted and executed-the measure
so earnestly advocated by the Filipino agltator
who was sponsor for the new Governor General OF
those islands. Are the American people willing 10
have the lands and peoples for which they are re-
sponsible overwhelmed in so vast a catastrophe!

MRS. GAIT PROTESTS
Is No Militant, but Is Not Against
Mrs. Pankhurst.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago an Interview with
me was printed in The Tribune under the
headline. Mrs. Gait has no use for Mrs
Pankhurst," and the remarks purporting
to be mine were in similar tone The
whole is so far from my point Of view
that I venture to request correction. /
am not a militant, and believe In evolu-
tionary rather than revolutionary meth
DDS for obtaining reforms. Consequently,
I do not indorse the policy OF the mill
tants, but or the contrary, have much
admiration for Mrs. Pankhurst, whose
sincerity OF purpose and willingness TO
sacrifice herself no one who knows her
can question. Further. freely acknowl-
edge that the situation created by a
vacillatlng, short-sighted government on
the one hand and sharp, clever, militant
women on the other has resulted In much
useful agitation the world over.
Instead OF saying that our government
should prevent Mrs. Pankhurst from land
ing here. I expressed to your representa-
tive quite an opposite opinion. Her Of
fences against the law have had political
ana not criminal i1OtlNts, dS tHc NOiiu
knows. Even the British government adj
mitted difference between her case and
ordinary offenders when It allowed her to
escape. During my stay In London the
Home Secretary In response to a Parlia-
mentary question virtually announced
that the gates were open and that he
would be delighted to have Mrs. Pank-
hurst pass through them to another land.
The United States has long been the
haven for political exiles from all lands,
and as an American I should be heartily
ashamed II II should now make an ex-
ception TO It's honored custom by exclud-
ing Mrs. Pankhurst To admit her and TO
grant her freedom OF speech I'm our coun-
try could not be construed into an in
dorsement OF burning private property
and destroying private mall as means
of propaganda.
Even though her coming would postpone
the establishment of women suffrage here,
| should still think IL to be the duty OF
this government to be consistent with Its
record and to admit her. Nor have | vol
unteered the stupid assertion that would
not give Mrs. Pankhurst reception
There are societies here whose sympathy
with the British militants has led them to
adopt their name, colors and form OF or
ganlzation They would be the logical
hostesses Of Mrs. Pankhurst should she

The Difference There and Here.

II is too bad Police Commissioner Waldo was not
able to give more attention to the details Of the
notice situation in Paris when he made his six
weeks tour of discovery in Europe. He might have
found It profitable to investigate the conduct OF the
members of the Paris police force when some OF
the men rest under charges Of grating and compare
it with conditions here.
There some plainclothes men, supposed to belong
IN an organization known as "Sons OF Tammany,
and having characteristics proving them to be chips
of the old block have been Matchmaking store.
keepers and others. The disclosures aroused public
INDIGNATION but nowhere much as within the
membership of the pollcemen's association. This
body has held two huge mass meetings Of protest
and has urged the expulsion of every suspected
detective Dshonorable conduct by one policeman,
these men argue, is a stain on the entire force.
At public dinner given by a pollcemens asso-
citation in this city not so long ago one of the hon
ored guests was an inspector then under indictment
in the graft cases His fellows swarmed around
him. assuring him OF their sympathy and support.
He is now serving his sentence.
There is considerable difference between the
spirit manifested by the Paris policemen and by
ours Undoubtedly the average man in blue is as
honest here there. II is pity that collectively
our policemen don't seem to mt more bitterly the
corruption of the few crooks as stain on their
personal honor and the honor Of their uniform

We have been more than gratified
with the results of our appeal
for renewals. Quite a large number
of subscribers have sent in their re-

greatly appreciate. We have never
yet called upon our subscribers with

Thirteen months have gone by since

find the aid that comes so steadily in

great assistance to us in working out
our reconstruction.
To every one who is in arrears, we
beg to say: Send in your renewal
just as soon as you can. 1t will help
us in our time of struggle. Eleven
months more and we will have paid
for our plant. We feel that we are
now making a frst-class county

better as we get further along in our
battle to pay for new plant.

DIR. MITCHELL RESIGNS.

DR.. S. c. Mitchell, president of
South Carolina College, has resigned
to take the presidency of a medical
college in Richmond, Va. We pub
lish elsewhere the uncalled for attack
of Governor Blease upon DR.. Mitchell.
The attack is simply outrageous.
That's about all that can be said of
it. We have no doubt but that the
persistent and vicious attacks from
time to time made upon DR.. Mitchell
by Governor Blease, have had much
to do with the decision of DR.. Mitchell
TO leave the State. These attacks
have assumed more and more the
character of offensive personal at
tacks. 1t seems that no man, how
ever high his personal standing, nor
how spotless his character, need hope
to receive at the hands of Governor
Blease one bit of consideration. He
brands men in high places and of un-
questioned reputation with epithets
that are unprintable. A lifetime of
service as an educator on the part of
DR.. Mitchell affords him no immuni-
