J. uation in Mexico is not so bad as 1t ap-
pears. II we accept Villas sincerity, he
seems to be striving logically for those thlnga
that he has always stood for. Consistently,
through all his campaigns, he has championed
the peon. And he has stood always for nom
military government to perpetuate his re-
carrying out the plans which Villa thinks
necessary to the salvation of the peon. The
First Chief' has hesitated to indorse the
land program. He has shuff1ed over the
military question: worse, he seems to have
kept his personal ambition squarely in the
foreground. Villa is demandinE-and with
what looks like success-that the military
leaders, himself included, be eliminated from
present or prospective holding Of political
office.
1t is a good stand that Villa has taken.
Why does it receive so little Endorsement in
the United States? Primarily, because Ameri
cans have lacked faith in his sincerity. They
have thought him an ambitious man. bent
on self-aggrandizement The evidence has
been his recorder what is said to have been
his record-before the revolution. The one

is we'll to remember that the very conditions

the sort to make our definition of bandit

Watchful Waiting in the Philippines

CNINCE the Spanish war too much partisan

pine question. Political lines have been too
tensely drawn. 1t may he granted that there
are essential and important differences be-
tween the two leading parties in respect to
their notions of colonial policy" but broad
conceptions of national responsibility have
sometimes been subordinated to narrow bit
ter partisanship. The real issue which hinges
on the Jones bill, now under discussion in
Congress. is not Shall the Filipnos ulti-
matcly have self government" The bill
does contain a provision which pledges ult-
mate sef-government; and a promise even
OF something certain is rather dangerous in
a case like this, But the real question is,
Have the Filipinos proved themselves
worthy of more liberal share in their own
Government" That issue does not call for
partisan rancor.
The United States assumed grave respon-
sibilties when ii took over the Philippines;
and in determining the future Of the islands
it's responsibilities are fully as grave. II is
Imperative that the mistakes Of the Recon-

Political Decencv an All.partv Issue

DOLITICAL Righteousness rises above
l. partisanship. The public is learning the
lesson every day. Even Penrose will know it
by November or course, the Senator has
never been Sc devoted to the interests OF
party as to permit interference with his per-
sonal comfort or the welfare of his friends
But that bipartisanship of his which the
liquor interests have Justly counted has re-
ceived a rude blow from another and very
different sort of party alliance. The National
Popular Government League, itself an or
ganization of men of all political creeds, has
voted unanimously to campaign against the
election of two notorious candidates, 70
from each of the two great parties--Roger
Sullivan, Democrat, out in Illinois, and Boes
Penrose, Republican. here in Pennsylvania.
The issue is broader than party. The life
and virtue of our political institutions are at
stake
