 An appropriation vas made for the two-plntoon system. This has been legalized whatever other matters were left open Co dispute.
 If therc was a mistake in making up the various details of the bond issues authorized, why should it not be taken from the total or the amount there authorized and since legaiized?
 Why any mistake. causing a reduc- ton In the tax rate everyone at that meeting supposed was being passed the tax rate of 22.t mills be changed Go 22 mills, as seems to be the case.

A PASSIVE ATTITUDE"

A Washington dispatch says a pas sive" attitude toward the possible arr rival in Washington of beverages of rare vintage along with the delegates to the disarmament conference, will be adopted.
 It might be said that a passive" attitude was adopted regarding the eighteenth amendment anyway it passed" It is presumed. however. that the passive attitude above re- ferred to concerning delegates is not the latter sort of passive attitude.
 It is quite probable that delegates to the conference win be allowed the same liquid privileges given to duly accredited foreign representatives. and would be allowed to import intoxi- cants.
 It is quite possible that some of the delegates will out of courtesy. refuse to bring intoxicants. thus showingNre- spe9t tor the law of the land. What these same delegates would do, how ever. if they were offered a nip" at one of the social functions they are expected to attend. is another matter.
 At least we want a normal confer ence. In our short, thrilling history we have known men of great minds who were never quite normal until they had tucked away little of the cup that cheers. Certainly the habit of trying to make oneself normal by this means is to be deplored. But, friendr. Romans. countrymen, or words to that effect. we are confronted by a condition, not a theory. What attitude shall we take, or shall we have a chance to take any attitude?

GEN. WOOD ACCEPTS.

Major General Wood has an- nounoed his acceptance of the post of Governor General of the Philip pines. Probably he will remain in the army until his appointment is approved by the Senate. Even Gen. eral Wood has not much confidence. apparently in the speed with which the senate acts.
 It is suggested by the fact that Gneral Wood asks for military as- sistance in his executive position, that the job will be no sinecure. In his acceptance he says, as other men have modestly remarked, that he accepts because it seems his duty to do so regardless of personal pref erence.
 There may te more truth in this statement than is accredited to similar ones. One is apt to consider the position as one calling for little work. great general supervision, and a | continuance of holding the strong. but sympathetic hand over a people, or mixture of peoples. who do not think great deal, and whose opin- ions are not very strong. The fact seems quite otherwise.
 First of all there is friendliness for the U. s. for what it's people have ac- complished for the Filipino peopla Most of them speaking that language. however. incline toward freedom under some form of American protectorate. Even non-Christian tribes and groups of Filipino busi- ness men are asking that American sovereignty be continued.
 Mohammedan Moros, Christian Filipinos and pagan hill tribes, in the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, differ violently on the matter of in- dependence. The Moros and hill tribesmen oppose independence. while the Filipinos in those provinces favor it. The Moros there. and groups of business men have peti- toned that the islands of Mindanao and Sulu be made American terri tory, and some have threatened trouble if their people should he placed under Filipino rule.
 It may be seen clearly that the
