FORBES ON THE PHILIPPINES

THE only difference of opinion that cX-
l. lists regarding the ultimate destiny of
the Philippine Islands is about the date when
they shall have their independence
The report of General Leonard Wood and
W. Cameron Forbes on conditions in the
islands has not been made public but no
one would do violence to the probabilities if
one assumed that the address Of Mr.. Forbes
to the University of the Philippines on Sun
day summarized the spirit of the recon.
U"ndations made in the report
Mr.. Forbes said that the islands are
still without sufficient resources for the
maintenance of a separate and unprotected
Government. He advised the Filipnos to
devote themselves to the DEVELOPMENT Of
their natural resources as to make them
selves strong enough for nationality. He
also told them that whatever permanent
relationship was established with the United
States it would be one mutually agreeable
to both peoples. and he assured them that
no relationship could be permanent unless
it was so established.
This sort Of talk is diScouraging to
those who have been advocating immediate
ndrpcndcncc for the islands. Vet it is the
kind Of talk with which men with sense
Of responsibility must correct the thinking
Of the enthusiasts for some years to come.
Indeed. it was disclosed during the tour Of
thp islands by the two American Commits
Sioncrs that there was n large body Of native
oninion opposed to independence at the
prescnt time Preference for American
rule was widely expressed by men who
dreaded what would happen if the islands
were turned over TO the control Of the native
politicians.
The time will come when group Of well
qualified leaders will be developed in the
islands. leaders who understand that gov
ornmcnt exists for the benefit Of the gov
crncd When this time comes it will be
easy for the Tnitcd States ~ '"ithdraw.

WHERE WERE THE WOMEN?

AS about 100000 women eligible to vote
failed to register for the coming elections
In this city. The woman who STAYED at
home might have been the balance of power,
had she so willcd it,
About 100. 600 feminine voters registered,
while the men voters listed total approx
imatcly $4,000. Census returns indicate
that if women desired to take advantage of
the franchise privilege they would have an
actual majority of about 10000 in the city
Suffrage leaders will have various ex-
plantations for the seeming lack Of political
interest among women. Many women hesi-
tated because Of their natural ditfidence
to undertake the unfamiliar task of registra
ton. Others were out of town and others
were "too busy at home.
The fact remains that from now on
women must share the blame for bad gov
ernmcnt and the credit for good govern
ment with the mon Of their families. They
have as much at stake in every election as
their husbands and brothers.

The departure has fully justified itself.
As might have been forrSccn. the feminine
