the credit OF the bureau itself 1t will
always be a tribute to your foresight
and energy that this new federal or
ganizatiOn, in the short period of its
existence, with the kindly cooperation
Of state and their agencies, has been
able by persistent and intelligent et-
fort to turn an isolated local move
ment for greater safety into great
national movement for Safety First
and has already gone beyond the min
ing industry into every industry of the
country. I venture to say that thou-
sands Of lives have been saved by that
movement and that many thousands
more viii be saved in the future.
stIn Vigorous Work Needed.
Gratifying as the results Of this life
saving campaign have been, however
there is still vigorous work for your
congress to do. ] am informed that,

thousand men were killed and one hum

Mohonk Lake. n. Y, Oct 15.-Speaking
before the conference here, on the Indian
and other dependent peoples, W. Came
ron Forbes declared today the United
States must not give up the Philippines,
because they would soon be gobbled up
by some other power; that "a silly scrap
OF paper must not be substituted for
the guns OF Corregidor." He was gov
ernor general Of the Philippines from
1909 to 1913.
In looking upon the Philippine situa-
ton and trying to analyze the attitude OF
the Republican party and the Democratic
party. find that they seem to be agreed
upon the principle that Il has, by force
OF circumstances, become the duty of the
United States to exercise control over the
islands until such time as II is proven
that q stable government can be estab-
Iished."
He then said that the vote Of Filipinos
is sometimes as low as per cent OF the
voting population. This condition makes
them unable to rule themselves, and
would easily open the door to other na-
tions seeking to sieze those islands.
