PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE

The question OF whether or not the Filipinos should
be granted their independence now or soon does not de-
pend on whether or not they would be better of under
their own independent government. 1t is almost certain
that in, many ways their condition would be less advan-
taseous than it is now. but the Fihpinos. ike all other
peoples, have a right to a reasonable opportunity to work
out their own destinies in their own way; to make their
feel during the process that they are standing on their
own foundation. The desire to enjoy this opportunity is
natural and human, and in one form or another it is
really at the basis Of all human progress.
The question Of the independence of the peoples Of
the Philippine archipelago depends on several other
things. One Of these is the possibility Of the continuous
existence OF an orderly government after outside control
has been removed. Another thing which can not be over
looked il the vital Interest of the American nation al it
may be Affected by the retention or abandonment Of the
Philippines. The problem Of independence must be solved
with both Of these things in mind because both are es-
sential. - .@4<
When the United States assumed control OF the
Philippine Islands their independence was out of the
question because aside from all other conditions II was
certain that no body or group existed in the Islands
which was capable Of maintaining even a reasonable de-
gree OF order. In certain small sections there was a fair
degree of intelligence and advancement A verv small
number OF Filipinos proper were highly educated, but the
millions Of inhabitants scattered throughout the archi-
pelaso were of scores Of tribes, differing in their state OF
civilization in race, language. religion, and all the other
attributes of social life. There was needed at some CEN
trail place an authority not only through which the people
immediately represented in it could govern themselves,
but by means OF which they could govern the turbulent
and war-like tribes in distant parts of their territory;
root out the nests of bandits from which raids were con-
tinually being made into the peaceful settlements, and
extend both the desire and the capacity for general self
government. The people Of the Filipino race, by far the
most advanced OF the entire population. were neither
numerous enough nor powerful enough to perform this
work. and: It was necessarily undertaken by the Iynited
States. Whether or. not that work has progressed to a
sufficient point to warrant the withdrawal Of our author
iy is one of the things to be determined.
The interest of the United States is. also to be con
sidered. II we can withdraw from the Island without
jeopardizins the very power which has made civilization
in the Island a possibility, well and goodI II such with
drawal can not be effected without that result II a. not IN

CITY HEALTH ACTIVITIES

The proposal made by Mayor Wheeler in his annual
address to tho city council recommending the ,consolida-
ton under one head Of the various activities which have
been conducted in the interest OF the public Health. has
been the subject of Considerable discussion. It should be
understood at the outset that there is no difference, Of
opinion between the mayor and those who are not quite
in accord with him. as to the desira bility,o of maintaining
at the fullest measure Of efficiency all inspection Of food.
milk. water. ETC.. in the interest of the public health.
This is the earnest desire Of those who have in the past
urged the performance Of this work. and the mayor is in
hearty sympathy with this purpose. Whatever differences
exist are with reference to the selection Of the method to
be employed. Y..s .,
In the past the work of inspection has been per-
formed BY several agencies. Some excellent results have
been reached. and it is in all probability true that there
has been some lost motion, and consequent waste due to
the diffusion of effort. The plan proposed by the mayor
Is to consolidate all Of this work in the hands Of an ex-
pert who will be equipped with the necessary facilities
for making tests and analyses, and who, it is expected,
will be able also to conduct the necessary inspection in
person. Doubtless many of the, details of the plan remain
to be worked out, and it is the mayors purpose to work
them out in such a manner that our inspection will be
marked by constant progress and Improvement.
" Those who have been inclined to doubt the feasible
ity Of the plan suggested fear that the work Of food in
spection. particularly. may not be as effectively handled
by a man. even an expert, who is charged with other
duties, as it can be by an official who has no other work
to perform. and they advance several reasons why they
believe that the work can be done better by a woman
than by a man.
These, as we understand it, are the main points
upon which there is not yet entire agreement, but we be-
lieve it to be the purpose of the mayor, equally with those
who have hoped for a retention OF the present plan Of
operation or something similar to it, that the reputation
of Grand Forks as a clean city shall not suffer, and that
the health of its people shall be promoted in every posi-
BILE way. 7.r- !

SONS OF PRESIDENTS
with the exception of washington and Linn

With the exception of Washington and Lincoln prob
ably no president who served prior to a very recent Pc
Rod is mentioned oftener than President Monroe, and this
frequent mention is due. not to any special achievement
of his. but rather because a declaration of American
policy which is the subject of frequent discussion bears
his name. To most of US the period of Monroe seems. ii
not like a prehistoric period. at least of medieval times.
There is little which we recognize as connecting ia d.
rectly with 1t. Yet the present has a living link with
that seemingly distant past in the person Of a son of Pres
ldent Monroe. who, at the great age Of 1913, is living, hale
and we'll kept. at Jacksonville. Fla, which has been his
homo for many years.
Major Edward James Monroe was born in Virginia
on July 4. 1915. He has lived a quiet, and comparatively
obscure life. but he served with credit in the Civil war,
where ne won the rank Of major. When the United
States entered the European war he offered his services
to tho government. but. Of course, could not be accepted.
Nothing daunted he insisted on going to work in a ship
yard. where he passed rivets. it IL said. as fast AZ the next
man. .
When this man was born tho war Of 1912 had been
over but q few months. and the echoes Of the battle Of
waterloo. which marked the final downfall OF Napoleon.
had scarcely died away. These great events of history,
which seem SO far away. and separated from US by but
