BLUNDERS IN THE PHILIPPINES

difficult to get good and efficient men to &C.
cept public office in these far-away posses
gions.
When Mr. Shuster said recently that The
islands were never in better condition or
better governed than now he must have In
tended huge joke. They were in far bet.
ter condition when Mr. Shuster was a men,
Der of the Philippine Commission, six yean
ago. I know that there never has been
worse government than the present one
during the twelve years that ! have been
there.
If Mr.. Wilson is made 10 shoulder the re.
sponsibility of the maladministraton in the
Philippines it will suffice in itself 70 con.
denim his Administration, without regard TO
his watching and waiting policy or any Of
the other shortcomings, blunders and stu
pdites of his theoretical, psychological,
non-practical, non-active and inefficient ad'
ministration of the affairs Of the United
States.
In his constitutional Government" Pro-
fessor Wilson said: eve cannot give them
the Filipinos self-government; self-gov.
eminent is not thing that can be given to
any people, because il is form Of char
acter and not a form of constitution. No
people can be given the self-control Of
maturity Only long apprenticeship OF
obedience can secure them the precious
possession, a thing no more to be bought
than given"
He believed this at the time he wrote.
Why, then, was there complete change in
such short time? He Endorsed the Balti'
more platform, yet he ignored it when It
suited his purpose. Why did he even be-
fore Inauguration, in the Stanton speech,
express the hope that the frontiers OF the
United States would soon be contracted, re-
sulting at once in serious disturbance 10 the
business, peace and prosperity of the Phil
ippine Archipelago? Did ne not then know
that his language would be construed By
both natives and Americans, TO mean that
he was in favor of immediate independence
And why did he follow this up by sendings
young man without knowledge of Philippine
affairs and conditions out to these islands
TO execute his mandates and to make rsdl'
cal changes in governmental policy, ma
chinery and operations, with no assurance
whatever of the wisdom of so doing?
Was he simply playing politics? Did be
pursue such course because he thought i
would be popular in the United States and

offspring of downright stupidity? Or wa

SEES FUTURE FOR TUNG-
 STEIN OF NORTHIAND

seattI, Nov. 16-The average AL aska miner has little faith in AL aska tungsten ore, but he is'wrong, according to Joel F. Warren, a re- cent arrival from the North, who is at the Frye, says the Times.
 Miners of the North call 'tungs- ten a war baby and pay little, if any attention to it." said Warren. Personally I believe that there IS. req future for tn new mineral, and l shall return to my holdings in the spring if the bottom doesn't fall out of the market.
 "Gold miners are afraid that the present high prices will not be paid for tungsten when peace reigna again in Europe. I do not know whatr the output for the Territory Twas during the last season, but l th:nk it was sufficient to prove that the ore is there in paying 'quant1- ties"
 Warren is probably better known as a peace officer to old timers than as a mining man. He , Was chief of police at Spokane at one time, deputy United States marshal at Nome two years, chief of police O. Nome one year, and eStraditlon offits for all of Alaska eight years
 In August, 1914, Warren accept ed an invitation to go to- Spokane and act as chief of police on the occasiCn on the twenty-hfth ami versary of the big fire there. That ia probably the shortest "admin' irtration" of any police head on re cord.
 Warren is associated with John McCool and John Olson in his tung sten placer holdings, which are To, cated on Rock Creek, about ter miles '",m Nome.

CENTURIES OLD
Organization Supposed to Have Been
Founded in ireland in the Six
teenth Century by Rory
o'Moore.
BEGAN HERE IN 1886
First Chapter Was Granted to New
York city-Membership 10 Now
at the $4,000
Mark.

Although the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians has only been in existence in
the United States for little over
three-quarters of century, its his
tory in Ireland dates back to the Six
teenth century.
The supposed founder OF the order
was Rory O'Moore and it first came
into being about four hundred years
ago. records show. AS originally
founded its purpose was two-fold, for
service to God and country and these
have been the cardinal principles
through all the years. Keeping alive
the history and traditions of Ireland
is one of the aims in the United
States; while in Ireland efforts are
being made to create wider interest
and study Of the Gaelic language.
The first charter was granted in the
United States to New York in the,
year 1886. This charter came direct
from Ireland. Since that date the or
der has had wonderful growth all
through the United States and Can
ada. The membership of the organiza-
ton is now 100000. It has one ma
tional board. $50 county boards and
1,500 divisions. 100000 in benefits
were disbursed during the last fiscal
year. The national officers are:
President, Joseph Mclaughlin, Phila-
delphia; vice president. Patrick F..
Cannon. Clinton, Massachusetts,; sec
rotary, Philip J. Sullivan, Thompson
Vile. Conn.
The ladies' auxiliary was founded
in Omaha, Nebr.. in the year 1894 and
the membership is now 10000. The
first auxiliary charter was granted to
an Iowa town, Atlantic. It was large
ly through the efforts Of this auxiliary
that the national auxiliary was formed
The cardinal principles OF both or
ders are friendship. unity and true
christian charity.
Both state and national conventions
are held biennial. The last national
convention was held in Boston on
July 1922 Of this year and was at
tended by a number of the dele
gates at the Keokuk convention. The
order Is encouraging the study of
Irish history in this country, and the
Gaelic language in Ireland.
