We had almost despaired of a re-
turn to the gentle and generous phras-
es of editorial compliment which make
profitable in things more valuable
than money the life of the country
editor. Most of our country exchang-
es were filled with political adver-
tisements, primary election figures and
party press bureau stuff so that no
space was left to say worth while
things about ones contemporaries.
But it is different now. Near at hand
is the Democrat-Leader of Fayette,
with Henry T. Burckhartt writing
gracious and kindly phrases about his
neighbours and friends as he was wont
to do before politics swooped down
upon him. Farther away, geograph-
ically, though not in spirit, are Lewis
w. Moore, of the Hume Telephone.
and Col. Sam w. Davis, Of the Butler
Democrat, exchanging courteous COM
pliments, all of which are richly de-
served, and William Southern, Jr., of
the Independence Examiner, laying
aside his political battleaxe and re-
publishing the aforesaid compliments.
These are the good new times after
all and life's worth living if one has
friends who show their friendship no

THE PHILIPPINES LAW

The new law for the government of
the Philippines passed by Congress
will receive the approval of persons
who give most serious and unpreju-
diced thought to conditions in the Or
lent. Under the new law suffrage is
granted to 100000 Filipinos not hith-
erto enfranchised, the Philippines
Commission is abolished and a senate
composed of Filipinos and a much
larger membership than is obtained in
the Commission is established. The
preamble to the law reiterates the
promise of independence when the Is
landers are fit for it. 1t would have
been better to have adopted the,
Clarke amendment fixing time for
granting independence. The pre-
amble. however, will serve, though not
so well, for the present. Many minor
changes in the government of the Is
lands are made, all of which tend
toward a larger measure of self
government by the Filipino people.
Old-fashioned Americans who be-
lieve in the right of self-government
for all people will of course endorse
the law. The modern school, which
would place all peoples in tutelage
to superior races self-selected, may
find fault with it. Under provisions
of the new law further progress will
be made in the Philippine Islands.
Every American has reason to rejoice
and be proud at the unselfish admins
tration of the Philippine Islands un-
der the direction of Governor-General |
Harrison. He and his associates have |
done constructive work which entities |

os and citizens of the United States.
