The Philippines

II is forecast in a dispatch from Washington yes serday that the report of the commission consisting Of General Wood W. Cameron Forbes to inves- sisate conditions in the Philippines would recommend continuance of American control of the Islands for tAe present. That however will not that the commission found the Islands in hopeless even in bad shape. No doubt. the contrary. the report will show that the Philippines have advanced. but that they have yet quite reached the point where they may be safely left to temselves
 An interview given out by Mir. Forbes recently described a general improvement in which he took occasion give credit Governor General Harrison
 If the Filipinos not yet capable of self government. they have shown some capabity in which we have demonstrated lacking. For instance the Islands have government-owne rail- way which has been little more than bneaking The United States government could not make such showing in the direction of railways it could not successfully shipbuilding in which it cos, the people s1so0OOoo month and succeeded onlv in effecting what Chairman Lasker of the ship rnr board has described the greatest wreck in the history of mankind"
 But we cannot give the natives full credit for the successful oI,eraton of their railway as well ss other operations there has been under American superxision which has been successful in the Islands because it was more nearly free from ,cs, noltics The American representatives there naturally desired to make good showing and they succeeded
 We suppose there few people in the United States who want to retain the Islands day longer than is necessary for the good of the Islands. The rsost of us never wanted them for any advantage of ,oesr possession that might accrue to the United States It was foreseen that government of them would be a costly business
 To have turned them adrift after we had forced ,.s-seives upon them that day in Manila Bay and destroyed the only government they had would have neen n cruel and heartless thing We then assumed White Mans burden which could not throw down

gent persons speaking from personal Knowledge that such reforms can be pushed along in any country.
 If prisoners have no human rights at all, 1t is an absurd waste of the taxpayers money to keep them alive when they might be killed off with out expense or delay and what is left be used for something useful such as chicken feed or soap. If on the contrary they still have some rights as humans, you, MT Editor, like every other decent citizen. want them to have them. Mrs O'Hare herself testified that when her pro- test against the arrangement where by clean and healthy women were compelled to bathe in the same water as the syphilet.cs. was spread out side and brought to the attention of our higher government officials. a modern system of shower baths was soon installed. Nobody really be- lieves in the perpetuation of sys- tenn under which the bulk of the prisoners come out worse than they went in, mentally. morally and physically. more than ever dangers to society.
 do not myself think that her sug- gestion that a prisoner be paid at the union rate of wages for work done is at all a practical one; but I do think that both justice and our desire to encourage the prisoner in better ways require that the net re- suit of the prisoners labor be given to him. that after due deduction of the expense to which the state has been put to for his maintenance, the balance should go to the mainten- auca of his dependents or to give him a fresh start on his release. The habit of industry surely cannot be encouraged by a system of exploita- tion whereby the prisoner is used to make a profit for some outsider and racefveS as inc reward of his toll

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 10.- A plea for some amateur statesmen at the disarmament conference, as well as the diplome ts, militarlSts, government officials, and other pro fessionals, is being made by the Women's Committee for World Dis armament.
 So far. the war and peace confer ences have been made up almost en- tirely of the usual type of govern ment representatives Armed with top hats and diplomatic expressions, they gather to solve the international tangles, and they leave the table with the tangles rearranged -nto new knots, but with their dignity still in tact.
 There must be some men expert enced in diplomatic procedure at the disarmament conference, of course But it is being urged that delegates be also appointed to represent the people who are most vitally con- cerned in rmament-business la- Dor, the farmers, and the women of the country.
 To impress upon the administra- tion the desirability of appointins these delegates for the people, women all over the country are writing to their representative and senators, to Secretary of State Hughes, and to the president These officials, they say. being partly dependable on wom- ems votes for their positions. owe careful consideration to their re- quests.
 Especially are the women inter ested in woman delegate. Presi- dent Harding has already been ap- preached regarding this by news cor respondents who asked the other day if there would be room at the con ference for a woman. MT. Harding answered that there would undoubt- edly be room, but that as yet he had not had an opportunity to consider the matter. Regarding this as . hopeful sign, the women's diSarma ment committee expects to arrange a delegation to put the proposition before the president in the near flu ture.
 Jane Addams Suggested
 When Miss Emma Wold, chairman of the committee, was asked wha woman it favored as a suitable dele gate, she answered that there are s' many women who are competent t' discuss armaments and peace prob lens that no particular candidate would be suggested. Miss Wol' mentioned. however. as a few possi hilities, Jane Addams, who has sat a international conferences before an' is known as a strong advocate O peace measures; Julia Latin op, hea' of the Children's Bureau; Ros Schneiderman, who ran for congress last November; Ida Clyde Clark, ant Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt.

The Editor. Republican
 Dear Sir:-Had you yourself att tended the lecture last night of Mrs O'Hare as I did. am sure that you would have written that editorial of yours in different strain.
 I have forgotten, if I ever knew, in just what consisted the particu- lar offense committed by Mrs. O'Hare under the espionage law She did not tell us anything about it in her lec- ture; she exp;ated the offense by her inprisonment; and now the issue is a moribund one anyhow
 Nor did learn from Mrs. O'Hare's lecture just what her political views were. I presume that she is So- cialist of some sort. and she may be a Bolshevik for all that know. The chairman of the meeting, the Rev. MT. Rock. half jokingly declared his belief that we could make things in this world all right if only he could get us all to become Baptists: for all that Mrs. O'Hare said she may have quite agreed with him. The important part of her speech, to me, was that in which she dealt with an issue which is not at all a moribund one-the shameful con- tract system which still prevails in l federal prisons. About that she said
 
 and again. Her talk last night was specially effective because it was | the talk of one who had been a prisoner herself; but I have heard much the same views put forth by a man who had been a prison govern | or. and they have been put forth many times by disinterested inves- i tigators.
 The system under which the labor of a prisoner is sold to an outside contractor leads inevitably, human nature being what it is. to graft. | tyranny and cruelty. It ruins what ever hope there may be of the prison acting as a reforming agency. The great bulk of the offenses punished in a prison where it prevails. offenses punished too often by | methods altogether repugnant to modern humanity, are offenses con- nected with the stint which the pris- I oner is required to do. The officials, whether it be true or not. are always accused of driving in the interests | ficials are rarely prison officials out of phi hi'anthrophy the accusation, fear, is far too often true
 Anyone, no matter who she is. what her opinions are on other met ters or what she has done, who helps to bring home to the public the facts I in connection with such a system is doing a public service. The British prison system. remember, had some of its worst abuses reduced through the exposures of the Irish members of parliament when they occasion ally obtained some personal experi- ence. The book in which Michael Davitt told of his personal experi- ence, with all it's disgusting horrors, when later on the writer had gradu- ally forced his way into the respect of his bitterest political opponents. was finally accepted as a true pie ture. Later on, have been told, the imprisonment of the suffragettes and the tales they told led to further reforms. It is mainly through the protests of such educated and intelli-

THE NEW LAW
BY DR. FRANK CRANE lCopyright 1921. by Frank Crauey

The great prize-fight has and gone, and the news-d -devouring world has turned to other things.
 But its significance fingers.
 And that significance is that human beings are still animals.
 We cannot escape past.
 Out of the dim centuries strong gray arms reach and hold us.
 The race is travelling from the brute to the spirit but we are not yet very far along the way.
 For that which most characterizes the beast is fighting Conflict is the most ancient law of life It is the programme of evolution up till the appearance of spirit
 The law of the spirit is cooperation. But that must grow. And the heritage of the brute clings
 We think only in terms of competition. We can conceive of accomplishment only through combat
 So. we take 1t common sense and as a matter of that good thing be got except by fighting
 We assume that nations grow only by. wars, that justice is some sort of product secured by arguing lawyers that education is achieved but by pupils strug glng for prizes that business consists In out doing competitors, that love is outwooing rival that religion is advanced by quarreling sect and that truth somehow lies at the end of contention.
 Nations churches, classes, individuals are weter- ing Dempseys and Carpenters.
 But it is all Delusion.
 We are hypnotzed by our traditions. We are in the grip of dead ideas.
 For competition is law of the brute world; 1t IS the way of progress for plants and animals; But the entrance of the human spirit comes THE NEW LAW which is that the progress of spirits is by cooperation.
 Only as men get together do they grow in stature, strength and conditions, as thinking beings.
 Only by Combination has the great fabric of mod ern Commerce superseded the old markets of barter and craft.
 Only by working together has Science made it's great advances Only by understanding and by mutual apprecia- tion has religion helped men, all its proud isolation and hostile creeds have been curse, and the end thereof superstition and persecution. 1 And only when nations at last learn the great lesson and cease war and rivalry and to coher- ence and unity, | a m | Be eeachm mans | Ike a Il Andnk lane of I Time has its paradoxes The recent prlzeflght really belongs to the first century; the Crucfon be- I longs to the fifteth.

Ants Attack Child


 PRESCOTT - Mayors eating ants have never been described in any history of Arizona or exhibited in any travelling nenagerie, but they are still at large and flourishing. The other day little Billie Moe, infant son of Mir. and Mrs. Walter Moe, who is just learning to walk, wan dered away from his home in search of adventure. lie found it. Not of his home town. little Billie sat down to rest near an ant hill. When his mother, attracted by his screams ran to the spot, she found him coy cred with large red insects who were calmly going about the business of devouring him. The youngster was taken to Dr. J. B. Van Horn for treatment after the ants had been brushed off him and now is said to be fully recovered from his startling xperience.-Courier.
