The Defect in Our Filipino Policy.

During the last fourteen years / have
come into close personal contact Will
three distinct races of people-Persians
Filipinos and Cubans that We're in what
may be termed a pathological political
state. In each case the fate of the pa.
tent hung on the treatment to be
adopted by an alien political doctor
One people received promptly its terri
tory and independence; another had its
national existence crushed out in car
nival of blood and torture. Is it wrong
to hope that in the case of the Filipinos
our nation may follow the earlier and
nobler. even if the more hazardous, pre-
cedent2
The deep-seated and pernicious defect
in our existing relations with the Phil
ippines is that the Filipino people have
no adequate means of even influencing
the governmental policies or specific leg
islation which vitality affect their pres
ent and future welfare, happiness and
territory. Even locally they have only
been allowed to play at government in
matters affecting the islands as a whole.
Yet the Philippine assembly, elected by
direct vote of the people, has consistent
ly conducted itself with signal prudence,
moderation, intelligence, and devotion
to its ideals, often in the most difficult
circumstsnces-By w Morgan Shuster

When it comes to being in the lime
light, there is no one in baseball in the
same class with Germany Sehaefer. Few
things happen in baseball in which Shae-
fer does not figure. When the auto
mobiles are given to the stars OF the
two big leagues, Schaefer can always be
found sitting in the machines, doffing
his hat to the multitudes. He is on
the worlds trip with the White Sox
and Giants and he is getting much more
advertising out of the trip than either
McGraw or Comiskey. In the pictures
sent here from Japan, Schaefer is found
standing next to Eikichi Kamada, presi-
dent of keio university, as he is throw
ing the first ball. As usual, Schaefer is
the life of the party and one of its best
attractions. He has introduced the pan
tomime preliminary practice on the trip,
which is making big hit with the fans.

Washington, JAN 3.--When the SUI
preme court of the United States meets
on Monday next it will face an amount
of work that promises to make a record
for the ensuing twelve months. In adj
dition to the probable announcement of
many decisions, the court has set down
for hearing on that day, or as soon
thereafter as possible, enough cases to
consume the time of the sittings of the
court for nearly week One of the
most interesting of these involves the
liability of the owners of the Titanic,
which went down after striking an ice
burg on April IA, 1912. The owner of
the vessel, the Oceanic Steam Nayiga-
ton company, British corporation, is
seeking to have its liability for the mil
lion dollars worth of claims lodged
against it for the loss of life and prop
erty in the catastrophe limited under
American law to the value of the
salvage, the freight and passenger fares
received on the trip, in all about 100000.

WRIGHT CIRCLES,
HANDS OFF WHEEL
Makes IL Flights Before Judges to
Demonstrate "Fool- Proof"
Device.

Dayton, o., Jan. 3.--Orville Wright
demonstrated his new stabilizer for
aeroplanes before three representatives
of the Aero Club of America at his
training grounds at Simms Station
Thursday. The fights were pronounced
great success by the three men who
are Judging contestants for the Robert
Collier cup, offered to the man who per-
fects any device for the greatest adj
vance in the flying of air craft.
The new stabilizer is a eompensating
device attached to the Storage APP
pearatus of the aeroplane, which auto
matioally controls the wings and rudder
of the machine when it is tilted to a
dangerous angle. Otherwise the aero
plane flies without the guiding hands of
its driver, subject only to the influence
of the stabilizer and the air currents
and pockets. Mr. Wright has never
made public minute description of his
new patent and is extremely reticent
concerning its working.
Seventeen flights were made before
representatives OF the Aero club and
seven circles were described by the air
craft without guiding hands. Wright
held his hands high over his head so
that the experts could see that no CON
troll was used on the guiding levers.
Several times the craft dipped sud-
denly when struck by heavy air cur
rents or when pocket was encountered,
but gradually righted itself without
danger to the driver.
The inventor claims that the device
makes the aeroplane practically "fool
hibition stated that they would report
the invention as perfect, and Mr.
Wright was confident OF winning the
Collier cup.
