Americans who have advocated immediate
for the Philippines will find
nothing in recent reports from the islands
to indicate that the natives would be better Oft
if permitted to govern themselves. All records
of exports from the islands were broken in the
last fiscal year, when shipments, amounting to
more than sixty-one million dollars, were
larger by ten million dollars than those of the
preceding year. There was an increase OF one
million and half dollars in exports and more

The federal trade commission has endorsed
the contention Of newspaper publishers that

Good Judgment
When Jack McGuigan stopped the semi

was appreciated by the audience. Charley
Leonard brother of the famous Benny was
boxing Willie Harmon, Of Point Breeze
Leonard had at least ten pounds on his
opponent and was about to batter the
smaller boy into helplessness when the
bout was stopped.
Harmon was not marked. nor was he In
bad shape when McGuigan stepped In.
| However Charley was beginning to meas
ure him for knockout wallop and surely
would have landed it had the bout lasted
| another minute But Harmon was out
| classed. and there was no reason why he
| should have taken a beating. Jack used
| good judgment and a few more rulings
like that will be big boost for the game.

make the announcement this

observed. Had the directors been
contemplating dfisgsosing OF Billy,
he would hardly have been called
into the needing yesterday after
noon.
Although the Virginians will
not complete the season even in
first division. this fact cannot DO
attributed to any bad manage
ment on Biily's part. He has
worked hard. but the breaks OF
luck have been against him, in
jurisae. sickness and the recall of
Arrason preventing his team from
at least finishing the season In
first division.
1t will be remembered that
Billy was this year selected to
manage the Virginians only about
two weeks before the spring
training season opened. and no
had little time to get together a
formidable outfit. However, he
now has all the winter before him
and he IL not going to let any
grass grow under his feet.
