The Philippines.

Filipinos who desire independence
for their country will seek at both
Chicago and San Francisco an express
sion favorable to their project. They
are not complaining of oppression on
the part of the United States. On the
contrary, they have much to say in
praise of American rule, and attribute
to it the progress the islands have
made since the change of allegiance
from Spain.
The progress has been so great, in
deed, that, as these protagonists be-
ieve, the islands are now ready for a
government and a flag of their own.
The natives under American tutelage
have gradually been admitted to 4
share in the conduct of their affairs,
and today feel competent to go it
alone.
The two conventions may consider
the question partly with regard to the
disturbed state Of the world. With the
world-the whole sphere--orient as
well as oecident-in comm motion-the
upheaval of the war disappearing
sIowly-would this be safe, an ad-
visable, time for establishing an in
dependent republic in the Philippinesi :
1t could not be entirely independent,
for, in the matter of foreign rela-
tions. ne should have to stand by, as
We are doing in the case of Cuba.
But Cuba is right at our door. a
tight little island, easily served. The
Philippines are long distance from
the American base, and in a quarter
where should our assistance become
necessary we might find it difficult to
proceed.
Our flag in that country stands tor
good government and the welfare of
all the people. Under its protection
all the inhabitants, native and foreign
born alike, find opportunity, and
progress is conspicuous. Would it not
be wise to let we'll enough alone until
world conditions are improved and
show an approach to something like
normal again'

The Districts Four Objections.

Elsewhere in The Star today is pub
Iished in the form of editorial cores
pondence a statement of the Districts
objections to the Mapes bill. H. c. 715s,
which recently passed the House and
is now pending in the Senate. This
bill proposes to change the method of
meeting the Districts expenses by
adopting a virtual sliding scale of
federal contribution to replace the
half and half system. These objec-
tions are on four grounds:
ID That the proposed legislation
overturns the present practice to the
embarrassment and injury of the Dis
triet. Whereas now the nation ad-
vanees funds to maintain the capital
during ten months of each fiscal year
and REIN burses itself from the District
taxes during the last two months, this
bill reverses the procedure.
(2) The Mapes bill shifts the pri-
mary responsibility and obligation of
capital maintenance and development
of the nation to the local taxpayers,
inequitably making the former instead
of the latter the incidental contributor.
(3) The bill is retroactive, trust
violating and morally ;ndefensible in
its application to the so-called surplus
of unexpended District taxes.
a. The bill repeals by indirection
the half and half provision of the act
of 1873 and substitutes for it an in
definite and fuctuating relation be-
tween the national and local contribu
tons toward capital maintenance and
development and unnecessarily, un-
wisely and unjustly destroys the local
taxpayers safeguard against excessive
taxation by an alien taxing body, in
which they are not represented.
For these reasons and ON these
grounds the District hopes and ex-
poets the Senate District committee
and the Senate to reject the Mapes
bill and substitute for it as a cQnstruc
tive measure the Jones amendment,
which provides an equitable system of
District financing, repeal oe the esti-
mate limiting statute and a method of
utilizing for District maintenance and
development surplus District revenues.

Deschanel's Dive.

President Deschanel of France has
had an experience which has probably
not been equaled in history. He has
been thrown through a window from
a rapidly moving railroad train and
escaped with minor and immaterial in
juries. But that was not the sum Of
his strange adventure. He made his
unceremo onious exit from the train in
the middle Of the night, clad only
in his pajamas and with his feet bare.
The train rushed on. Nobody aboard
knew of his absence. He walked
along the tracks and met a guard.
Consider the guards feelings! Here
was a strange apparition! An elderly
man clad in the clothes Of slumber
walking barefooted alongside the rails,
somewhat bruised and disheveled
Was it any wonder that when this
strange figure announced that he had
just unwillingly alighted from a NOV
ing train and that moreover he was
the President Of France, the railroad
worker tapped his forehead! Presi-

then to be concerned about that sig
nificant gesture of suspicion. He
would probably have given more for a
good pair of slippers than for the most
respectful salute. When the whole
affair is settled, when the incident is
closed, some sort of marker should
be put at that sandy point where Presi-
dent Deschanel did his unparalleled
acrobatic feat to note the place where
for the first time in history the head
of the nation took flying leap from
moving train and lived to tell who
he was.

How Film Destroys

Film is what discolors mot the teeth.
It is the basis of tartar. It holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid.
It holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor
rhea. Thus most tooth troubles are now
traced to film.

Dental authorities now agree that the
thing which ruins pretty teeth is film.
It is that viscous film, ever-present,
overcoming. You can feel it with your
tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crew
ices and stays.
The tooth brush does not end it. The
ordinary dentifrice does not dissolve it.
So month after month it clings, and may
do ceaseless damage.
That is why brushed teeth discolor and
decay. Tooth troubles are constantly in
creasing. People think they clean the
teeth, but they leave this film. And teeth
are ruined by it.

Now Pepsin is Applied
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the di-

nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is
to dissolve it, then to day by day COM

The way seems simple. but it long

ENGENE-Wesley Shelley, of

states that a crew Of men are at
work on the old grade of the Nat

five-mile stretch of the line from
point near 0akridge toward the
summit along Salt Creek. This
grade was completed years ago to
a point about half way to McCre-
die Springs and during that
period has been used as road
grade. While he has no direct
information, Mr.. Shelley states
that there is a report that another
crew of surveyors is at work on
the other end of the route coming
ir this direction. From these in
dlcations he assumes that there is
going to be something doing" on
the old project.
