A Bill to Be Laid Aside.
(New York Times,)

Various sincere opponents of the futile Philippines bill, which in it's present form promises independence to the islanders within not less than two years and not more than four years, provided that at the end of the specified period all conditions ex- ternal and internal seem favorable, and extending the time thereafter, if the conditions are judged unfavor- able, for the life of the next congress, and so on, are nevertheless of the opinion that some sort of immediate legislation for the relief of the Fil- ipinos Is essential. This opinion is not justified by the facts. Brig. Gen. Mcintyre, chief of the war depart ment's bureau of insuar affairs, has made tour of inspection in the Phil ippines and reports that all condi- tions there are much better than the statement of the political opponents of the administration had led us to believe. The people are reasonably cOntended and are making progress in their educational and industrial de- velopment. In the view of General Mcintyre, who is without political prejudices, Governor General Harri- sons administration of Philippine af- fairs has been beneficial to the island CTS and there is no reason why it should not continue to be beneficial
 1t seems that the only object of this objectionable bill is to impress the is- landers, and the more ingenious in- habtants of the United States, with the idea that the democratic party has rebuked the republican party by as- surfing the Filipinos and the other in habitants of the archipelago that they will some day be independent. But this idea of preparing the islanders for future independence has been upper most in our thoughts in all the years of our occupancy. We have regarded ourselves only as trustees. Our trust has not been fulfilled. It cannot be fulfilled for many years to come. If the islanders need a new and more lib- eral organic law, this bill will not provide it. The bill that does that must be drawn in statesmanlike way without trace of the spirit of par tisanship. There is no hurry. The islanders are doing well. They can continue on their present basis for some years more and become better prepared to exercise larger adminis- trative powers. Congress has no spare time for the futile Philippines bill this session.

Thought it Was a "Movie:"
Philadelphia Telegraph.)

The conversation in the lobby of a hotel turned to the subject of natural errors the other night when this anecdote was related by Congress- man Robert L. Doughton, of North Carolina.
 Some time since a man named Smith was summoned into court as a witness in @ case of assault and battery. One question after another was answered. and finally the judge turned toward the prisoner with look of surprise.
 Do you mean to say, sir" severely demanded his honor. that you saw the plaintiff pursued-that you saw him thrown to the ground and beaten with a piece of lead pipe?"
 You saw all that" returned the judge, with some show of indigna- tion, and never lifted a hand to help the unfortunate man7"
 Yes, sir" responded Jones, 1T thought they were taking pictures for the movies"

WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions ns discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
Hats and Bald Heads.
Waterbury Democrat. )

Why do men grow bald? Simply because they wear hats, says pr. Ar
 thur R. Reynolds, in the American
 Magazine. He says he has proved, by
 careful observation, that hats affect the growth of hair by compressine
 the arteries, veins, lymphatic vessels ahd nerves that supply and nourish
 tue hair. The nature of the hat or
 the amount of heat or moisture it
 causes hasn't anything to do with l'' All the trouble is caused by the h'' oand And if you examine a nl'H partly bald, noting the shape U Hi HIS mead and the places where LIS nut presses most tightly, you will
 liilo, says Dr. Reynolds, that the be- ginning of the bald area corresponds
 "i'h the pressure spots. If the head io round, and the hat band presses tightly and uniformly around the
 Whole circumference the hair Is likely to fall out uniformly over the top or the head. Caps cause less badness because they are not so
 'isht. The writer therefore urges that hats be discarded The crea- Ior' he says, put hair on the head as a covering and an adornment It IS all the covering that Is required by aoult men except during the few days or severe weather, even in a northern latitude The city man who steps rom his residence to a conveyance that carries him to his shop or office needs no hat at all, except to meet or comply with the dictates of cus- tom. He reminds us that in most ut-of-door sports men find their hats Tn the way, and discard them, even m the broiling summer heat Yet a man who has been playing golf bare headed puts on his hat when he en> lers covered street car or automo- olle "The common sense answer" ne declares, 'fs to do away with hats altogether, either as an ornament or as an article of utility" It's doubtless sound advice. The trouble is, in getting the movement started A Cleveland banker began doing that very thing several years ago, when he round himself becoming bald. Tn spite of ridicule, he continued stead fastly going everywhere about tho city without a hat, the year around His example, however, doesn't seem to nave won many converts so far. When men come to fear petty social conven- uon less than badness they'll get back to the healthful bare-headed habit of antiquity

Sufficient Reason.
(Sprin gfield Republican.)

Those senators who want an em- bargo on munitions of war may profit ably consider that Germany added greatly to it's supply of munitions by violating Belgian neutrality. Beligum is one of the great workshops of Eu- rope and the invaders profited by it's factories as well as by it's rich de- posits of coal and iron. Certainly Bel gium did not get rich from the trade in munitions, but German economists have declared that this source of supplies is one of the great factors in enabling Germany to continue the war indefinitely. Is there any good reason why one side should be re- fused permission to buy supplies of neutrals when the other side invades neutral country and helps itself? Tn conforming with the recognized law which permits trade in contra hand no such oXaninatiOn of the con- duet of bclligcrents iS necessary; to anybody who proposes to reverse tho established practice the benefit which Germany has drawn and is drawing from Belgium would be one answer if others were not sufficient.
