MR. rAFT AN0 THE PHlLIeeINEs

Like Dean C. Worcester Mr. Taft opposes granting Philippine people any larger measure of seIfgovorn- ment Mr. Worcester wants Ito let tho apple hang high and make them climb for 1t; Ar Taft believes the ladder to the apple should be perhaps sixty years high.
 lf Mr. Taft is right. the policy of Che United States toward the Philip pines has been wrong. More than any other man in this country he ia responsible for the beginning that has been made in island solf-goyeromenL As the first Governor General he es. abolished civil government under the American rule. As Secretary of War he directed the establishment of a civil governor and seven commission. CTS. of whom three were Filiplnos. and the election nearly eight years ago oi Philippine assembly with power to leglslate He was elected President In 1908 on platform that dwelt with high praise on the steps that had been taken in advancing the capacity Of the (Philippne) peo. pie for government" aud in Heading the inhabitants step by step to an ey- CT increasing measure of home rule "
 Has the experiment fathered by Ar paft been so complete failure that the time has now arrived to repudiate the high.sounding professions of this country and to notify tho Philippine people that they have no capacity for selfgoyernmenL and that the everin- creasing measure of home rule shou be indefinitely withheld from them? Can we redeem our solemn piedgce to Che Filipiuos and keen faith with ourselves by declarng that Che apple Of seltgovepment hangs so high chat they cannot grasp il for sixty years. -(New York Worldl

NOME DOG RACES ARE
 DOOMED AND NOME GLOOMY

Nome Is in gloom It's big dog race is to be run no more Tha. is, such was the belief Of the people of that citay when ,he last mail left At least f the race is run it will not be the same old race. or thot Nome has no doubt at all
 Why alul this gloom and doubt?
 It is due to the circumstance that the United States district attorney the Unlted States District Court has lot it be known that there shall be no bookmaking or gambling on Inc races. This information was imparted by the fcourt at Thanksgiving time when tur- key rafflins was ordered stopped by the court or the threot that Che saloons that were conducting them would have theie licenses cancelled if they pro- ceoded further. In discussing the mat ter, he said that saloons would not be permitted to make books or sell pools on the dog races as they have done in the past
 This leads the Nome Nugget to say:
 "It now begins to look as # Nome'a elebrated All-AiQsk7 Sweepstakes e celebrated All-Alaska Sweepstakes race would be thing of the past, as far as raising a large purse is con- cemcd The interest certainly will become numbed without the use Of a itte friendly wager which tbe books as rule permits and helps to hold he Interest in dog racing together P
