Philippines Not To Be Free

The report from Washington is that
the Republican leaders have made a
decision to postpone indefinitely the
question of independence of the Phil
ippines.
Why should not the Philippine have
independence as we'll as Ireland. The
House by a large majority voted that
the British King and Parliament
should grant Ireland to be a separate
nation and the Senate voted all but
one. Now, why should not the British
Parliament vote that the United States
Congress should give the Philippines
self-determination and send British
orators to America to hold meetings
and tell the people and Congress what
they should do.
Of course you think such would be
foreign impudence and none of their
business. Then what business IS 1T
for Irish-Americans to raise money
for a propaganda in America and Ire
land to tell what the British govern
ment should do?
The United States paid $3.50 a
head for the Filippinos and Henry IL,
of England, paid the Pope for Ireland.
What business is it for Americans to
dabble in British domestic affairs?

The French Treaty

Tuesday the President presented to
the U. S. Senate the proposed British
French-American defensive agreement
The object is to secure the French Re
public the immediate aid of the United
States in case of ~unprovoked move
ment of aggression against her on the
part of Germany. President Wilson
said:
81 earnestly hope that this treaty
will meet with your cordial approval
and will receive an early ratification
at your hands, along with the treaty
of peace with Germany. Now that
you have had an opportunity to ex-
anime the great document | presented
to you two weeks ago, it seems oppor-
tune to lay before you this treaty,
which is meant to be in effect a part
of it.
81 was moved to sign this treaty by
considerations which will, l hope, seem
as persuasive and as irresistible to you
as they seem to me We are bound
to France by ties of friendship which
we have always regarded and shall al
ways regard, as peculiarly sacred. She
assisted us to win our freedom as a
nation. 1t is seriously to be doubted
whether we could have won it without
her gallant and timely aid. We have
recently had the privilege of assist
ing in driving enemies, who were also
enemies of the world, from her soil;
but that does not pay u debt to her.
Nothing can pay such a debt. She
now desires that we promise to lend
our great force to keep her safe
against the power that she had most
reason to fear
another great nation volunteers
the same promise. 1t is one of the
fine reversals of history that the other
nation should be the very power from
whom France fought to set us free. A
new day has dawned. Old antagon-
isms are forgotten. The common
cause of freedom and enlightenment
has created new comradeships and a
new perception of what it is wise and
necessary for great nations to do to
free the world of ~intolerable fear.
Two governments who wish to be
members Of the league of nations ask
leave of the council of the league TO
be permitted to go to the assistance of
a friend whose situation has been
found to be one of peculiar peril, with
out waiting the advice of the league
to act.
at is by making such pledges as
this that we prove ourselves faithful
to the utmost to the high obligations
of gratitude and tested friendship.
Such an act as this seems to be one
of the proofs that we are a people that
sees the true heart of duty and pre-
fers honor to it's W separate course
of peace" (Signed) Woodrow Wilson.

Our Flag Again on The High Seas

One of the rarest flags on London
river before the val was the Stars
and Stripes. The Greek was much
more frequent. AS a rarity, it could
have been classed then with the Liber-
ian flag. Next to the British, the Ger
man flag was most commonly seen.
When the submarine campaign began
to look serious, the Americans turned
to shipbuilding. But they had few
trained officers, engineers and seamen,
and Britishers manned, to a large eX-
tent, the new American tonnage, at a
rate of pay much greater than they re-
ceived under the Red ensign. Today
the American flag is very frequent on
the Thames, and it will grow more ia
miliar still. 1t will compete with our
tonnage; and its wages and conditions
are going to cause grave disquiet to
that most a%stute, powerful, and (from
the point of view of labor), most eac
tionary body of capitalists in our COM
mercial community, the shipowners.-
The Nation, London.

His Excellency, The President

On his arrival home, Mr.. Wilson was
not greeted as the Supreme Ruler of
the United States of America a
title given him abroad-he was just
plain Mr. Wilson-Swedesboro News.
In Europe for ages the nomencla-
ture of governments has been that of
empefors, kings end feudal lords as
Supreme rulers. Hence the greeting
to President Wilson in foreign lands.
In America we do not have rulers,
altho they are needed in many cases,
but officials to administer the office
created by law which also prescribes
the duties to perform. The constitu-
ton designates "the office of Presi-
dent of the United States" Mr.. Presi-
dent is the correct title to give Mr..
Wilson, altAo children are taught at
school to address the President as
"His E~xceileacy." Not that a politi-
cad eppoaent may have common respect
for the man who holds the office, but
as respect due the office created by the
constitution for the man elected to
faithfully execute the office" and not
to rule the people.
Last December FL, the officials of
the University of Paris conferred on
President Wilson the hOnored title of
doctor Of Humanity" which surely
is greater Haa that of President, King
or Emperor. In accepting the honor
he said:
eff there is enc point of pride that
1 yentuxe to entertain, it is that it has
been NJ private privilege in some
measure to interpret the university
spirit in NE public life of a great ma
ton. l feed that in honoring me in this
Unusual and conspicuous manner you
have irst of adj honored the people l
represent. The spirit that | try to
express 1 know to be their spirit and
in proportion as | serve them | believe
that | advance the cause of freedom"
Surely this shows no spirit of ego
tism in His Exceiiency, the President,
Woodrow Wilson.
Those who can not appreciate the
office. the mission and the great work
he did by being the foremost mar in
all the world in procuring American
principles of freedom in the Peace
Treaty and League of Nations Cove
nant has a narrow vision as a citizen
of this the greatest and most lnf1uen-
tiai nation in all the world.
We were all one in prosecuting the
wal under the constitutional comman-
der-in-chief of the Army and Navy;
Surely we should continue of n mind
in the paramount issue in prosecuting
peace. Bear in mind President Will
son Serves" not rules.

Article K The Best in League

The League of Nations was praised
in the Senate on Tuesday by Senator
Cav. Democrat, Louisiana, as the
practical application of the principles
of the American government to the
problem of reconstruction of the world
under the clearest and best adjustment
of governmental affairs ever put in
operation since the Divine Master
came to earth and preached h gospel
of peace and good will to all men,"
The speaker eulogized President
Wilson for his efforts at the peace
conference and declared the sentiment
and best interests of the country and
demanded ratification of the peace
treaty, leaving to the future the ad
iustment of any defects.
Article ten, the heart of the league,
has been more bitterly attacked per
haps than any other" said the Senator
s'This is an agreement to preserve ano
protect each other against external
aggression. We here depart, as is alb
soIuteiy necessary, from the policy OF
exciusiyeness. Article ten will pre-
yent the grabbing Of territory by
greedy nations. Almost all of the
vars in history have been wars OF con
quest. |, for one, believe that article
ten will have more influence IN the pre-
ventions of wars than any other article
of the covenant.
sSThiS league is not a panacea for
all the evils which have afflicted the
nations; but if it shall prevent even
one war, it will have served humanity
aad civilization

President Roosevelt "Ruled"

When Theodore Roosevelt ruled as
President, the Canal Zone was taken
at his command by military and naval
forces when it belonged to Columbia.
a state in South America. He once
said he took it so the Panama Caual
could be built and he let Congress de-
bate afterwards. That was in Novem-
BEN, 1903. Congress has been debat-
ING ever since and has just come to a
decision to pay Columbia S25, 1000, OOO
damages. The debate has been over
an expression of regrets. Columbia
would have settled for $15,OOO,O0O with
regrets, but it has been decided to
make it $25. 000, 900 without regrets.
Yet we have no wish to find fault
with the treaty on that account: 1t
should by all means be ratified, not
alone for a better understanding with
Columbia but because of its indirect
effect upon the public opinion IN all
Latin America. The seizure of Pana-
ma. which was not the act of the Ma
Ton. or even of Congress, but of Pres
dent Roosevelt, for a time shook the
faith of many South Americans in the
Goodwill of the Republic, and the
feeling had a disastrous effect upon
trade as well as political ties between
North and South.
The taking of the Canal Zone by
President Roosevelt is the blacklist act
of perfdy in the nations history. The
end may have justified the means SO
the Panama Canal could have been
built in record time, yet Congress is
very beiated in paying an extra big
penance to satisfy the Latin as a moral
balm.
This is q case where a President was
an imperial ruler.

Some of President Wilson's enemie

Some of President Wilson's enemies
had mental CONSERVATION because the
treaty to go to the aid of France at
ono if attacked by Germany, was not
presented before Tuesday. U. S. SEN
ators have had mental spasms since
they received the treaty with Germany
and have suffered with legislative in
digestion ever since he went to Paris.
After the Yankee boys went to Europe
and Asia and shot old monarchies all
to pieces many are fearful of their
ghosts which were in the flesh in
Washington's time.

Words of Wisdom

Edward B. Stone, of Burlington
County, who entered the World Wa
and came out a major, has been soil
cited to become a candidate for Sena-
tor in Burlington County. He says:
81 feel that l am not fitted to be a
solon and it is my belief that any SER
vice man who tries, because of his wal
record, to be elected to an office fol
which he has not the qualifications
makes a regrettable mistake. We die

political preferment."

What Alcohol Will Do.

A correspondent says that alcohol
will remove stains from summer
clothes. He is right. Alcohol will
also remove the summer clothes, also
the spring, summer and autumn
clothes, ont only from the mes who
drink it, but from wife and family as
well. 1t will also remove the house
hold furniture, the eatables from the
table and the smiles from the face of
