The first step toward independ- ence in the Philippines has been in turning over as far as possible the machinery of government to the natives of the islands, and it is doubtful if any process could have been invented that would have brought more protests from the American residents holding the snaps. The legislation in re- ference to ultimate independence for the Philippines has received tentative consent of President Wilson, and it is expected that it will appear before Congress to be acted upon next winter. Of course it is going to mean a big fight, as there are many viewpoints con-

cerning what should be our atti- tude toward the islanders.

Undoubtedly the American newspaper readers have greatly missed the accounts of what John Lind was doing down in Vera Crnz, but apparently the sage of Minnesota has dropped out of sight far beyond the horizon. Nelson O'Shaughnessy. who was a crony of Huerta s. and who under very trying circumstances did splendid work for his govern ment, has been pressed into ser vice as an emergency clerk, and the chances are that a little later on will be sent back to Mexico City to represent his country. President Wilson scolded a little because of some of the reported indiscretions of O'ShaughnessY during the height of the Mexican trouble, but when the charge de affairs came back and talked it oyer with his chief it was all right, and metaphorically speak ing. Woodrow Wilson slapped O'Shaughnessy on the back and told him he had done well.
