Miss a. r. c., Spring Cove.-The
Philippine Islands are entitled to in
dependence because the United States.
in taking them over, promised It to
them whenever the people OF the Is
lands should demonstrate their capa-
city for selfgovernment. In the
SiXty-third Congress in 1915 there was
introduced in the House of Represen-
tatives what was known as the Jones
bill. The expressed object of the bill
was TO increase self government in
the islands. but in the preamble there
was stated the intention of the United
States to give the islands independence
at some unnamed date in the near
future. This bill was finally agreed
upon, and became n law on August
20, 1916 Moreover both Republican
and Democratic parties are pledged to
eventual independence, and President
Wilson and Secretary Baker have re-
Gently stated that the time has arr
rived when independence may safniv
BIO granted the islands. The Issue
revolves around the question of pre-
sent fitness for Independence; the
right OF independence cannot be gain
said. once this question has been af-
flrmatively removed from the realm
of controversy. In debating the cues
ton, the discussion naturally will
weigh the pros and cons OF readiness
for self-government, In tho light Of
the progress the people. have made
under the benevolent tutelnge given
them by our government under It's
declared policy of eventually granting
the islands their independence.

Despotic Wire Censorship

N/ HlLE it may be true. as the Post Office
Department declares, that the action of
the telegraph companies in declining to send
newspaper dispatch making critical refer
ences to the PostmasterG has been
exaggerated beyond all rime or reason. it is
equally true that this circumstance indicates
very clearly what might happen if the wire
services were in official hands and subject
TO the political chicanery which any bureau
crat might find it desirable to practice
The telegraph managers who rejected the
newspaper dispatch did SO on the ground that
1t appeared to them to be "libelous" This.
or course, is shallow pretc1t, and was. it
may be assumed, resorted to by underings
who thought thereby to curry favor with Mr.
Burleson by seeming to protect his interests
There was no libel in the message, but this
incident shows how easy it would be for
wire dictator to lay down a rule against the
transmission OF any dispatch that seemed TO
be llbelous, or seditious, or melting TO riot
or that might be against the national "wel-
rare. national welfare Is an elastic term
and might be made a cloak to cover a multi
tude OF abuses or sins or raids against frne-
dom of speech
Such rules would afford any admipistra-
uon that might be In power and in control of
the wire services an opportunity to impose
a most oppressive censorship, il II dared IN
do so, and there have been plenty of public
ofhcials In the memory OF living men who
would not have hesitatcd TO use such power.
II 1t had been placed in their hands By the
same token, there may be many such in the
future, and the only safeguard against such
possibilities lies in the enforcement OF The
telegraph and telephone companies from Fed
eral control and Federal operation
Although the present Postmaster-Ge General
may nave many sins to answer for, it is only
fair to him to say that he had no personal
hand in the censoring of the New York
world criticisms Of him, and that when he
FOUND that oycrzealous or misguided subor-
dinates had abused their authority in that
connection. he promptly and publicly repri-
Inanoed them, and issued e Nat order that
no further press dispatches OF that char
acter be interfered with again as long as he
had supervision over the telegraph and telc-
phone lines.

That lies along the sea;
They Swore the oath OF salt and wind
That they would hold them free
From woman's charms and woman's
arms
And woman's witchcry.
And Eric met a fisher lass
A-walking on the sand;
"The sea is loneliness" sho said.
And touched him with her hand,
And smiled into his blinded eyes
And wed him to tho land.
And Petri watched n bold girl dance,
With paint upon her lips;
The light fell from the tavern lamp
And touched her finger tips
Like marriage gold! Another man
Halls out in Petri's ships.
And Barrnc, Of the heart OF brass,
Red named and huge of arm,
He laughed and Kissed n woman's Iips
And found them fresh and warm
And went across the little hills
And squatted on farm.
The moral OF this simple tale =
Ia plain enough to see:
There is no oath to bind a man
From woman's witchery-
At least ] know that it Is so
