They Wanted It Just the Same.
(New York Times.)

So hard is it to see what disad dVan- ia ges there are for the Filipinos in the combination of much protection and only a little of the mildest and most benevolent of control given to them by the United States, that there is almost equal difficulty in seeing why they do not heed the advice of Judge Gary and defer the. pressing of their demand for independence. If he had gone still further and advised them to abandon that demand alto gether and forever and to deVote all their energy and attention to the task of making close and permanent their relations with this country. the coun- sel easily might have been proved sound from all practical points of view.
 The Filipino delegates themselves admit with what ought to be sincerity and really sounds like it--that in stead of having grievances against the United States they owe it cordial rec ognition of many and great services unselhshly rendered, and even on the cynical theory that gratitude is keen sense of benefits still to come, they might well feel that emotion. too.
 In spite, however, of all the argu- ments that might be offered to the Filipinos in support of a contention in favor of continued dependence and against imm ediate or speedy inde- pendence, nobody can really be sur prised that they want to be at once a people entirely free, ruling them selves, perhaps less wisely than the American government does it, but ac- cOrding to their own ideas and 1n1- pulses. To do that, as it happens, IS a, universal human desire, and 1t al- ways has been. and presumably al- ways will be, obstinately: resistant to such appeals ss those made by Judge Gary. All he said was true and the Filipino delegates would be the last to deny it, but-they want to manage their own country, and so would we If the conditions were reversed.

Goals Competitor.
(Black Diamond.)

Looking at oil competition from the statistical angle, one does not see so much to discourage the coal man.
 The entire production of crude oil in the United States in 1918 was only 341, 3,739 barrels, or equivalent by a generous Calculation to -S5,0a0. 900 tons of coal, provided this entire pro duction was used as fuel oil to com pete with coal.
 Mexico has a reputed capacity at present development, Of around 350,- 100000 barrels a year. though our highest imports so far have not cX- ceeded 40,00O,00O barrels in any one year.
 Say that there was ample vessel tonnage to transport MeXico's prob able 350,000,000 barrels of oil to this country, and this output was also used ! exclusively as fuel oil. This would mean in the aggregate displacement of 100000 900 tons of coal annually. This would displace about 25 per cent of our present coal production. However, American oils are too valuable to be used for fuel, except in q few sections The competition of oil to coal comes and must continue to come, from the Cneap grades of Mexican oils that are now growin,- SO abundant.
 As is being pointed out in our spe-. , cial articles on oil competition. MeXi- can oils arc now being used to diso1aca coal in New England. One of our l:,t- est American chipping concerns da preparing to use oil. on it's steamers. while the Cunard Line is also ma king plans to use oil for its. mammoth fleet. This means a loss of a consid- erable share of our bunker business.
 There can be no evasion of the fact that oil competition has come to af- feet our seaboard coals. The loss may run only into 8. few million tons this year but next year it may be doubled or trebled, depending entirely on the cost or producing coal after the new wage agreement is signed.
 The question, therefore, IS: Can the coal industry afford even the loss of thls business? The United Mine Workers should have this situation dn mind while formulating, new wage scale. ....
