THE PHILIPPINE ADMINISTRATION.

:. An unusually frank comment upon the chief
officials in the Philippines is contained i'll an
editorial of the Manila Times which has just
reached Honolulu. 1t may be taken as ex-
pressing the views of large number of Ameri-
cans in the Philippines and for that reason is
worth republishing.
1t was called forth by a severely critical COM
rnent in a letter which appeared in the Boston
Transcript. After declaring that the Philip
pine administration is placing more confidence
in the sentiments and aims of resident Ameri-
cans than when Governor general Harrison
first took office, the editorial says:
1.-THE cardinal purpose of the regime is to
give the Filipino people what they want. The
consultation of Filipino leaders is natural
consequence of this policy. Where in the early
days the opinions of the leaders ruled to the
exclusion of every other consideration we like
to think today that another element enters into
appointments feeling that perhaps the
American idea of what is best for the Philip
pines should have some weight
"There is some truth in the charge that the
governor general has turned deaf ear to
American advice but he has not quite gone to
the extent of 'slavishly following Filipino sug
gestions. This charge might have been true in
the first days of the new administration. It is
not true today. We do not pretend the hope
that the governor general has come to the point
where he will grant that American opinion is
absolutely disinterested but we believe he is
morea#illing to listen to the American side
now than he was twelve months ago.
As.to the characterization of the other com
missioners, the writer's bias is too evident.
Gen Riggs is damned by the, faintest praise
while Mr.. Martin is called the best of the lot,
tribute which most of usswiIl not be willing to-
give. Certainly in point Of administrative
qehievament, Mr.. Martin has not proved the
equal Of his companions on the commission.
Mr. Denison is described as having alienated
all Americans BY his ridiculous utterances1
from time to time The Times holds no brief
for Mr.. Denison nor can we see anything very
praiseworthy in that notable utterance at the
City Club. 1t was that speech that turned the
American community against the secretary of
the interior but it should not blind us to the
fact that Mr.. Denison's administrative work
has been of q high character. If it has savored
too much of compromise, it has nevertheless
brought results that obstinacy could never have
won.
The Transcript to the contrary notwith-
standing, there are some bright spots in this
administration. We grant that they are few
innunber but it is only fair to admit their ex-
istence. 1t is also only fair to point out that
this administration was apparently pledged to-
look upon everything connected with the pre-
vioas administration as vicious This may be
poor craftsmanship but it is evidently good
Democratic notifies Our chief auarrel is mott
with the men who put these politics into play
locally but with the captain and the team which
believe in them. -

ANT1-DRUG Law,

The operation of the Harrison anti-narcotic
law throughout the United States will greatly
minimize the unnecessary Of habit forming
drugs. Under this law no one is permitted to
sell or give away these drugs except upon order
of physician or dentist, and most of the two
million persons who have been using them will
have to give up the practise for the reason that
they will not be able to obtain them, and though
suffering much Inconvenience, will in time be-
come free men and women. This law consti-
tutes another step in the direction of prevent
ing the evils which menace the very existence

ample, the camaraderie that exists be-
tween men Is found as a rule only in
one class of woman, and that is the
college women. You know, originally it
was thought desirable TO send youths
to college where they might form de-
liehtful friendships. But women were
segregated and forcibly prevented from
knowing one another, lest they become
less efficient mothers. Women arc just
beginning to awaken to their own reali-

VINCENT ASTOR
GIVES PLAYGROUND
Lends Property to City and
Equips Big Gymnasium
for Harlem Children.

Several thousand children living in
the upper section of Harlem will be
made happy by Vincent Aston this
afternoon when he turns over TO them
a square block of property as an out
door playground and gymnasium. This
piece of land, part of the Aston estate
for many years, is bounded by Seventh
and Eighth Avenues, l49th and 150th
Streets.
The place, which was formerly known
as McNulty Field, will now be recorded
on the list of recreation centres as
New Aston Field. The land for several
years was leased TO n semi-professional
baseball team and an open air moving
picture show, but this year, instead
of renewing the leases, Mr.. Aston de-
cided to lend the property 70 the city
for playground.
Mr.. Aston not only lends the field,
which is filled with the finest clay loan,
but he equipped it with one OF the
largest outdoor gymnasiums In this
city II includes set OF slides,
swings, a vaulting gymnasium horse,
jumping standards and a complete set
of flying rings. There will also be
four baseball diamonds, which, il Is
said. are second only TO the Polo
Grounds. On the east end there is
grandstand with a seating capacity OF
more than two thousand, where tho
parents can sit and watch their chill
drcn at play.
To-day Mr.. Aston, after short adj
dress, will turn the field over TO Park

placed an outdoor playground where II
was most needed, and has not only
made the children happy. but also the

will have the field Saturday afternoons
and all day Sunday. Mr.. Lee said that
on account of the fine baseball dia-
monds and the large grandstand the
public school championship games
would be held there.
