THE PHILIPPINES.

For six months or more party of Fill
pinos has been in this country. The
members of the party are all well educat-
ed and represent the best human elements
of our far distant wards. Their business
here is to urge the government of the
United States to allow the Philippine peo-
pie to set up government entirely their
own. Every week since they have been
here The Journal has received propagan-
da from them, hoping to get free publica-
ton. We have felt, and many Others
have felt, that there was danger that our
control of the islands might sometime in
volve US in difficulty with Japan. Prom
inent Japanese officials have assured our
government that their country did not
want these islands. Even if we assume
that they are telling the truth it is plain to
be seen that in case we should b. involved
in war with Japan she would as first
move seize the ports of the Philippines
and such food and other products as she
needed We are exercising what may be
called protectorate over the Philippines
and in case Japan, or any other power,
interferes with them it will be our duty to
protect them.
A protectorate over group of some
1900 islands populated by about 1000, 900
people, on the other side of the world is
not light responsibility. The Filipinos
have given reasons why the islands
should have complete independence,
which seem to be good, but in order to
prepare for wise action a Congressional
party has been to the Philippines to in
vestigate. Representative C. H. Randall
of California, a member of the party,
says, AFTER seeing the Philippine islands
it was our almost unanimous verdict
that they are not ready for independ-
ence." at would be a crime Of the first
magnitude to set these people adrift."
That there may be some doubt that
Japan is sincere when she says she
doesn't want the Philippines is shown
when Mr.. Randall says: "The shadow of
japanese aggression overlies the entire
orient. Thoughtful men are in semi ter
ror at the prospect of Japanese domina-
ton of Siberia, China, Korea and the
Philippine islands, if the U. S. releases
them" Personally, we wish we were
out of them, but we do not see any hon
orable way for US to do SO.

The New York Times has been an ar
dent supporter of President Wilson and
his policies. We do not know whether it
has experienced change of heart or
whether the editor in-chief has been
away on a vaction, but we find the fol-
lowing in a recent issue:
After all the vain piatitudes about
economy uttered but not practiced by The
Democratic administration, and after the
useless Democratic threats against the
protiteer and the endless noisy price in
vestgstlons staged by administration
henchmen for political effect, il is like q
welcome breath of fresh air to eview
the concise, straightforward formula
which Senator Harding, if elected Presi-
dent, intends to follow as a means of
reducing the cost Of living.
"First-Revise. and possibly entirely
repeal, the excess profits tax. This is
the chief cause of the high price of every
thing today. The manufacturer collects
it, the wholesaler collects it, the retailer
collects it-With the result that the ulti-
mate consumer pays three taxes instead
of one.
'Second-Congress will Immediately
abolish the government tax on freight
and passenger traffic. The public will
promptly reap the benefit.
"Thirc-Congress will Immediately in
crease the tariff schedules and will there
by not only decrease the tax burden now
falling on this country by about $500, O00,-
900, but will protect industries and Ameri-
can labor which need protection from
low-pald foreign competition.
"Fourth-Congress will materially
modify the income tax schedules and
bring about very considerable reduction
in them"

PROGRESSING BACKWARD

For the week ending July 10, coast
wise coal shipments to New England
amounted to $4,000 net tons and ex-
ports amounted to 1850 net tons, that
is, difference of lac, 900 tons in favor of
foreign markets. That was bad enough,
but for the week ending August 7 ship
ments to New England had gone down to
1874, 900 tons, net, while exports had risen
to 326, 600 tons, revealing a disparity of
1872, 600 tons between the receipts of the
New England market and those abroad.
The facts speak for themselves.
--Kennebec journal
We do not know who is to be blamed
for this, but it is clear that the coal bar
ons are making lot of money. Strikes
can be settled, freight rates can be regu-
lated by law, but the Department of JUS
tice has not yet found way to stop
profiteering. 1t can arrest and fine
small dealers but the big fellows are not
hailed into court. Perhaps they pay
their fines in excess taxes.

The longshoremen of New York City
struck five months ago and have Just
gone back to work at their former scale
of wages. We do not know whether this
strike was justified but the outcome is
a warning which should be needed. The
time is fast approaching when there will
be more workers than there are Jobs and
striking is not safe. Business reaction
has set in. A recent report of the Nat
ional Cothiers of the U. S. A. says that
30 per cent of the textile mills of the
country is idle. Many other kinds of
business are Stacking, Many people have
begun to see that they must do without
things which are not real necessities.
This is the natural aftermath of war,
speculation and waste.

Mr.. Roosevelt, the Democratic nominee
for Vice President, says the Republicans
want to go back to the good old times,
and that the Democrats are progI essive,
they want to 60 ahead, he says. All the
Republicans and great many Democrats
feel that the country has had more than
enough of the Democratic brand of pro-
gression as shown during the last four
years. The Washington Post in regard
to progression says:
The need for progressivism in the con-
duct of the government is apparent, a
progressivism which will lead the nation
forward along cons itutional lines and
resist that tendency to reaction which
would ignore the policies and traditions
of the fathers and yield American SOW
ereignty to supergovernment. Advance
ment should be continuous, hut it should
be along tried and proven paths and not
into wilderness Of UNEMPLOYED ideals.
The Republican platform breathes the
spirit of progressivsm. It specifically
recognizes many of the problems which
press for solution and it looks forward
with confidence to better and greater
country. and Senator Harding in his
pubic utterances expresses progressive
views that thrill with promise.

 A number of state newspapers, op- posing the nomination of Cameron. have stated that he has been out of the state at intervals during the past three years. This statement is par tially correct. But in this connection permit us to state that while the physical Ralph. H. Cameron has been absent from the state at intervals dur ing the period mentioned, the heart and soul of MT.

In 1914 with little if any chance of election he made the race for Governor at great personal sacrifice and a heavy expenditure of personal funds. On this particular occasion, Clark, now opposing Cam eron in the race for the U. $. sen- ate. flatly refused to make the sacri- flee and withheld support from the state ticket. which was headed by that grand old man Alonzo HubbeH. After Clark had refused and other republicans had declined the state committee approached Cameron. With wonderful loyalty to his party Cameron said: Gentlemen: | should not make this race. but in or der to maintain the organization and the great principles of the party I will make the sacrifice" Cameron entered the controversy, and against great odds and with George U. Young running on the ticket of the progress sive wing of the party, Hunts plur- alitv was $500 votes over Cameron. Had the party been united Cameron would have won the election. In 1910 he expended a small fortune, his own funds, in carrying the expense of the
