Filipinos Want to Help.

Bishop Brent says the F'ilipin9s are
anxious 10 fight for the United States
in the war against Germany. The
Philippine government has offered to
furnish a division Of native Filipinos.
10000 to 10000 men, of whom 5000
are already in service as scouts and
make good soldiers.
While the Filipinos could not be
used effectively in France. on account
OF the cold climate, they might replace
an equal number of allied troops in
Italy or at Saloniki Bishop Brent
suggests they be brought 10 the Unit
ed States and stationed along the Mex
lean border. Speaking a language
that could readily be understood by
the Mexicans. they would give the lat
ter new insight to what American
ism means
Whether the offer of the Philipuine
government is accepted or not, il
shows that the United States has won
the confidence and respect of the Fill
ipinos, and that Is something the
doubters of few years ago said was
impossible.

Maligning West Virginia.

Just few years ago West Vir-
ginia Father enjoyed its lawlessness.
Its feuds and its moonshining were
among the states prominent indus
tries. But the feudists have joined
church and lost their skill with the
rife while moonshining has declined
under state prohibition instead OF
spreading under 1t and West Virginia
has become TOO busy to be real law
less,
The action Of the governor of Mas
sachusetts in refusing TO extradire a
West Yirginian accused Of a serious
crime because the prisoner could not
get fair trial in his home state and
probably would be lynched if taken
there is therefore surprising. West
Virginia has not abandoned its case.
1t is carrying il before the federal
officials in Massachusetts and hopes
to overturn the judgment Of a gov
ernor who has heretofore been most
level headed person
West Virginia deserves success.
West Virginia is not Iawless nor more
given to lyuching than several purely
northern states. The good name Of the
state and the cause OF justice are
alike at stake
