/. NEW WORK, April 19-Representa-
tive Reuben l., Haskell, Republican, of
Brooklyn, has announced that he would
try in the next congress to bring about
the repeal Of the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution.
1T is my Judgment, said Mr.. Has
kell, "that even a majority of the peo-
pie, should they favor prohibition,
which is not the case, have not the
right to force this sumptnary legisla-
ton upon the minority. In the next
congress | shall offer a resolution for
the submission of an amendment to re-
peal the prohibition amendment to the
constitution.
/ Under the proposed legislative acts
TO define intoxicating beverages, there
is still chance to rectify i'll part, by
removal of the embargo on beers and
wines, the mistake which has been
made, and, at any rate, action should
be taken to repeal the prohibition
amendment.
Representative Haskell ought to I'M

NEW YORK, April ia demand for
immediate independence was made by
members of the Philippine commission,
now visiting this country, at a luncheon
given them by the Merchants association
in the Hotel Biltmore, Although Francis
Burton Harrison. governor-general, who
also spoke, did not say 50 outright, he
indicated by the tenor o. his remarks
that he sympathized with the immediate
aspirations
The only word of direct opposition came
from James Gilbert White of the Mer-
chants association. who, while not de-
nying that the whole tendency of the
American protectorates, was toward even
tual independence, said he believed that
fullest independence would come by wait
ing little while He did not believe
that the islands are quite ready as yet
to cut loose from Uncle Sans guiding
strings.
Mr. White outlined all that had been
+ done under the various administrations
OF the islands to improve the peoples
social and economic condition and said
that the great thing which shone from
this achievement was its complete divorce
from political influences
