TRoD ON BANKS TOES.

There was no brass band accompaniment to
the notice of withdrawal of Postmaster General
Burleson' IS order to country postmasters to as
sist in collecting bank checks at par. The order
was issued without great deal of publicity,
but when it became generally known storm
clouds appeared in the vicinity of the Burleson
office. Its withdrawal was accomplished in de
cent quiet and the postoffce department head
would, if he could, forget unpleasant expert
ence The order was Withdrawn because TIE
country banks, so-called would not stand for it
and there was fear of its political consequences.
Handling checks makes revenue for many banks
IN and out Of the federal reserve system, and
the bankers don't propose to give it up. Be
sides, the postofice department itself makes
big money on its postal order business, which is
virtually the same as that done by private
checks The charges for these orders pay a
handsome profit over and above all costs.
Uncle Sam couldn't think Of doing this work
for nothing, though he might do it for less and
still be ahead of the game.

HENYARD EUGENICs.

Eugenics as science for the Improvement OF
the human race has progressed little beyond
contributing a few freak marriages which, IN
several conspicuous cases, have ended quite
Iprosaically In our commonplace divorce courts
But the general idea of eugenics, which Is the
idea of promoting efficiency and eliminating de-
fects, does exceedingly well lower down the
scale of animal hfe In the stables and pig
geries of the nation it has long been In force,
and has come to be taken for granted as though
It were part Of common law. Now it has IN
vaded the henyard
In Connecticut, which has heretofore given
its attention mainly to the manufacture of
wooden nutmegs and hats for men, the state
agricultural college has developed method OF
blood testing whereby the physically fit birds
are selected for mating Human bodies have
furnished the experiments that lend authority
TO the blood tests. Hens are the creatures to be
up1ifted by the highest application of it.
The hens may not enjoy it. They would
dodge it if they could, and continue to produce
their kind in most haphazard fashion. But law
can be enforced in henyard
And so we shall continue improving the
beasts of the field. the birds of the air and the
plants Of the earth, reserving for ourselves the
keen adventure of unnatural selection until
parents are either frightened or forced into
wondering about their grandchildren. Then
shall we begin to do some blood testing higher
up.

WE ARE THERETo STAY

After three years Of strenuous endeavor the
administration has at last contrived 10 put
through the senate Philippine bill the house
viii probably accept But it is not the bin the
president set out so jauntily To pass It does
not scuttle, or turn the islands adrift or even
indicate time however distant when that will
be done.
We should err, however, in concluding that
the president had come to realize the nonstroug
folly Of turning the millions of ignorant. help
less tribesmen over to the handful Of Chfnese
halfbreeds-the politicians and spoilsmen Of
the islands-who long to exploit them IT takes
our chief executive longer than three years tn
comprehend the situation in the islands. One OF
the things beyond the conception of Mr.. Wilson
Is that any race or class or tribe or aggregation
Of child-minded human beings however unde-
veIoped can form a republic and rule them
selves collectively before any one Of them can
control his passions and govern himself How
ever, the project Of scuttling was abandoned be-
caHse senator's bad heard the voice of the ma
ton and knew that the American people would
never agree to give up the islands and that the
sooner the Filipinos recognized this the happier
they would be-
The instinct Of the American people is to re-
tain the islands. rule them wisely. spend all the
money necessary to educate the people, make
tnem prosperous and happy and civilize them
4sIast as possible. The popular instinct is that
