Mrs. CARRIE WILLIAMS, Overpeck, Ohio.
For more than forty years Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been restoring women to health who
suffered from Irregularities, displace-
ments, backaches, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness or the blues.
Today there is hardly town or hamlet
in the United States wherein some
woman does not reside who has been
made well by it. That is why Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is now
recognized as the standard remedy for
such ailments.

COST OF 2D-HAND EGG
CRATES AND FREIGHT RATES

Freight rates on many commodities
are as strange and as mysteriously in
comprehensive as a hens mind, if she
has any; the transportation charge on
empty egg crates to Milford and George
town, are the same, either from New
York or Philadelphia. Looks as if local
egg crate mandatory to supply Della
ware and adjacent Maryland egg farms
might be profitable.
On less than carload lots, the rate of
1O1a cents per crate is confscatory, in
that the purchase price of the crate is
now only cents, with good filters.

birds following with sixteen eggs each.
Production for the week increased
slightly over the first and second weeks,
a gain of fifty eggs was registered over
the latter week.
Thirteen pens are still inactive and in
addition to the hen pen, number one
only four birds are reported molting.
Some of those pens now inactive, but
which have laid, may molt in the next
few weeks.
There is in the competition many
immature birds-probably there are not

quite so many as in other years-there
should not be any. Granted that BIRDS

Importing, or buying, poultry neces-
stiles distances away from home, is
economically wrong - some eastern
states grow feeding wheat and buy
bread flour from Minnesota; this is diff
erent from buying egg crates from Kan
sas Cor New York; when they can be
made as cheaply in Maryland, Delaware
and Pennsylvania and prohibitive freight
rates saved.

turity and for public opinion to develop as
check on politicians.
To recommend this is easier than to exc
cute it. The cost of such policy should
not be minimized. 1t will produce vast
amount of il-feeling in the islands. TO with
hold rights or privileges is one thing; to grant
them and then withdraw them is another.
Having once tasted power, the Filipinos will
resent having to relirquish it far more than
they would have resented never having had it,
Enactment by Congress of the Jones bill,
President Wilson's policy and his direct prom
ises have led the Filipinos to expect immediate
independence. Whether those commitments
were wise or well-timed it is useless to argue
now. The effects exist, none the less. Expecta-
tion has bred active desire and impatience. II
has also provided, incidentally, convenient
issue for exploitation by demagogue politicians.
But however artiicially created, closely knit
and aggressive pro-independence party does
exist and behind that widespread indepen-
dence sentiment. And in those that share
this there will be keen sense of disappoint-
ment and deception, for by the Wilson Admin
istration the United States does stand COM
mitted.
Into this there enter some imponderable but

Possible War in the East
Delays Independence

But, as said before, Independence is hardly
a practical question now. Waiving all con-
siderations of the Filipino's fitness, there is
the international situation to be considered.
That is, in word, japan. If there were no
other reason for withholding independence at
this time that alone would be decisive.
Until the question of Japan and Japanese
American relations is settled and more positive
indication is given as to Japan's imperial
policy in the near future, to take the risk Of
Japanese aggression in the Philippines would
be dangerous folly. 1t would only increase the
likelihood of Japanese-American conflict. The
only defensible policy for the United States
is to preserve the status quo in the Far East
at present and until such time as the Japanese
liberals and anti-militarsts have conclusively
won the upper hand and the deciding voics in
tho Japanese Empires Adatic policy. BY this

Too Early to Declare
imperialism q Failure

Admitted that the Filipinos have still far
TO go before they have reached Western levels
OF political responsibility and political capac-
lty and that they will blunder and stumble on
tho way up, there is yet no reason for aban-
donIng the fine experiment on which we
started in the Philippines. We got these ISL
ands by conquest and purchase and in thus
embarking on imperialism gave our pledge to
the Fifpinos and to the world that it was
an attempt at new kind of Imperialism. We
repressed exploitation of the natives and estab-
lished more schools than garrisons. We made
it our aim so to govern the territory and treat
its people that we could in time leave it to
them wholly.
It is still too early to abandon the attempt
as failure The Filipinos have made tre
mendous strides in two decades. There is NOT
enough evidence on which to conclude that
they have reached their limit and that. given
time in which the generation educated in our
schools can grow to maturity and public opin-
ion develop, they will not attain as great
capacity for self-government as some Of the
lesser peoples Of Europe. In the mean time
both tolerance and patience are necessary
from Americans. They must not forget how
slow and tortuous have been their own steps in
political progress
On the other hand, it is equally foolish ont
of fidelity to easy idealistic phrases to hasten
the process and thus doom the result to fall
ure. That is the charge that can be made
against the Wilson Administrations policy.
The present unpleasant situation is the price
of that error.
All this is not altruism. 1t is plain self
interest. For we have here an extremely deli
cate problem TO solve. Unless we meet it both
intelligently and in the right spirit we shall
have on our hands shs worst burden a nation
can hold-a dissruntlsS and hostile subject

Pre-Colunbus Lineage
OF No Value in Manila

No Filipino belong to Manila club
He may hold Oxford or Harvard degrees and
the highest of Anglo-Saxon and Spanish cul-
lures may have gone into his making, but the
brown of his skin casts no shadow on the pure
white of the Elks Club, social arbiter of Ma
nila's elite. The clerk in a shop on the Escolta
which is, by the way, the very apotheosis Of
Main Street--who has but freshly got his dis
charge from army ranks soon enough develops
an austere ececticism in his social relation
chips.
The white man who marries Filipino is
ostracized. She may have been educated in
Boston and Paris and in her veins may be
mingled the blood Of Spanish aristocrat Of
pre- Columbus lineage, but she is ostracized by
the wives of one-time hardware men Of the
Kansas and Ohio county seat families And so
through all social relationships. The color
line is, if not rigid, at least stiff.
Bitterly as Governor Harrison has been de-
nounced here on all other counts, the fercest
denunciation | have heard of him is over his
parting message to the Filipinos at his fare
well banquet: II want you to remember that
In all but face and race am Filipino" They
fume at him for that betrayal Of the white
race-and at me also because have said that
the gravamen of that indictment do not rec
ognize as elemental or satanic.
These things cannot be considered apart
from the question of independence, even il
they have, strictly speaking, no political bear
ing. They enter into the Filipino's mental at
titude. They do not make for harmonious
atmosphere or for greater contentment in liv-
ing under an alien peoples rule, even if that
rule be more efficient and economically advan-
tageous. They increase the Filipino's impa-
tience to be free of that rulership, since its
sway irks most where he is most sensitive.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-15
Corruption and IneMciency
Charges WGif on Wood

The Flhpinos realize this aspect Of the oues-
ton well enough and suggest independence
with an American guaranty of integrity. I'm
der the present circumstances however that
would only mean that we not only doubled the
risk but pledged ourselves to face it. The sit
uation would be unaltered.
There remains the immediate necessity of
framing an alternate policy. That must de-
pend primarily on whether General Woods in
vestigation corroborates the charges of cor
fupsion, inefficlency and general misgovern-
ment made against the Filipinos by resident
Americans. If it does not, then there is no rea-
son for modifying the existing status of au
tonomy. If it does. then, were not the psy
geological factors to be reckoned with. the
simplest and most effective solution would be
TO get the reins back into American hands. to
relnstall American executives But the psy-
choioglcal factors are to be reckoned with
heavily, and there is something of dilemma.
The dilemma will have to be evaded and
some compromise worked cut that will not
arouse resentment and a feeling Of BETRAYAL
IN the Filipinos and that will at the same time
provide enough supervisory machinery to as
sure fair degree of efficiency That it will
be long time before there is real efficiency
and really good government is to be expected.
Just as 1t is not surprising that bad mistakes
have been made in the last few years.
1t is easy to lose ones perspective in the
Far East and to forget some salient facts in
American political history. There is some
thing amusing in the toplofty attitude os
Americans here. These people who hold UP
SO SIMULTANEOUSLY to Flipinos absolute stand
ards Of political morality and governmental
efficiency and fame with righteous indignation
when Filipino accomplishment falls below that
standard-many of them come from big
American cities. They forget some of the
harsh realities of American municipal govern
ment- They forget also that America has had
autonomy for las years and that it has had
to learn much through ugly experience and
has much yet to learn.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-15

tain the stout denial of failure they make In
all other departments. With this public con-
fessicn they have had to swallow their pride
and call for help. American experts have had
to be recalled In an effort to reestablish
solvency.
1t will be facts Of this kind that are laid
before General Wood and his commission. On
the basis Of those facts the Americans here,
almost to man, will ask him to recommend
reassumption Of power by Americans. They
will ask that Americans be renstated as heads
Of administrative departments especially tech
