BLUE FLAG AN AHIsT0cRaT.
This Wild Flower Is the Ancestor OF
the Garden Iris.

As the ancestor of the stately iris
Of the garden. this wild flower belongs
among the first families" of the cOun-
try. 1t occupies the same position
among the flowers that the Mayfower
descendants occupy in Boston society.
Il leads the grand march at the Colo
NAL Danes ball and waves at the
head of the parade of the Ancient and
Honorables. It's called the blue flag.
To return to floral lore. this aristo-
crat displays something besides an
cestry. Witness it's ingenuity in per-
petuating itself.
In the laws of the flower kingdom
it is absolutely necessary that the blue
flag be cross fertilized-that is. for the
pollen of one flower to be carried to
another. To guard against self fertili-
sation the flower hides it's stigmas in
pockets. where it's own pollen cannot
reach them.
But the blue flags cleverness does
not stop here. Since it depends solely
on the pollen from other blossoms, it
calls on its friends, the bees, to bring
the pollen. To make the work Of the
bees as easy as possible the flower
provides little porch" at the door
to its honey chamber as a landing
place for the insects in their flight

Giving Up the Philippines.

The president and his advisers are standing
at the fork Of the road on the Philippine ques-
ton, and are about determined to take the one
leading to a definite promise OF independence for
the islands within q fixed time. Probable effects
OF the proposed policy are readily discernible.
The adoption OF the Clarke amendment to the
administration bill will be notice TO the powers
to prepare for the grand scramble. TO
see which can grab the islands first. Whether
England. Germany, Japan or any OF the others.
It may be easily understood that the process Of
exploitation will be smoothly resumed, and the
Filipino will soon be back where we found him.
Il is admitted that the Filipino is no. ready
vet for seif-government nor is he likely to be-
come so within a reasonable length OF time. The
United states has done more for the people OF
the islands In the last fifteen years than Spain
did in four centuries. We have set up industries.
established schools. divorced church and state.
provided for stable government. much OF the
executive and administrative authority and
power being in the hands of the natives; espe-
clally is this true OF the law-making and admin
istrative machinery. and have secured for the
people greater measure Of individual freedom
and security than they ever knew. But we have
not finished our work there.
Even with self-government. the islands will
be too weak to maintain Independence. and the
likelihood that Japan will Immediately seize the
archipelago is strong. Efforts of our government
in the islands have been continually hampered
by the Bryanites with their vague and indefinite
promises. Withdrawal with the task unfinished
means the abandonment of the natives TO their
former submerged condition. 1t will relieve us
OF some expense. but what about our responsi'
bility and moral obligation under the duty we
assumed in 1898?

Rslisf for Jewi.h var suffererr.

The proclamation Of President Wilson, max
ing tomorrow a special day for gathering con.
tributons for the relief Of Jewish war sufferers,
calls general attention to the urgent needs Of
by far the largest group OF war victims because
not confined to any one country.
Heart-touehing appeals have been made for
the hspless Begans, for the poverty-stricken
Poles, for the exied serbiRns. for the prosecuted
Armenians, but none present counterpart OF
the wretched Jews who happened to have in
habited all q the contested war arenas, and who
have been rendered homeless and fugitive,
women and children and old men, the sick and
the helpless, almost all OF their belongings gone,
dependent upon assistance for clothing and
nourshment to sustain life until they can get
a foothold for a new start
BY reason OF this exceptional condition. con-
tributions for Jewish war relief take on no color
OF sympathy for or against any Of the beligerh
ent nations. Il is an appeal for humanity, for
a down-trodden people whose misfortunes are
in no way OF their own making, but which are
more acute because they have been for centuries
down-trodden.
What is also to be emphasized Is that while
relief work for the Jews has been carried
since the beginning of the war upon colossal
scale, Il has been financed so far wholly by the
Jewish people, without calling upon those not
OF Jewish faith, who are now for the first time
asked to help in this worthy cause. growing out
OF a worldwide calamity.
