MISS RafF, in the book. has loose ideas

to elope with him, though later decid-

A mild cxpostulation from Mr.. J..
Hamilton Gibbs:
ut would seem that there is no
longer any virtue in the old adage
Comparisons are odious' Lists of best
books of 1921, best stories, best poems
and so on not only draw invidious dis
tlnctions but reveal a curious lack of
diligence in research. For instance.
much talk is made of the Zells, Main
Streets and Moon Calves, but no men
tion is made of the fact that the Sun
bury stories of Samuel Merwin are
their father and their mother, and that
Sans 'Goldie' series in the Sateve-
post at the moment should take their
place IN any best story list.
Besides this, the esteemed Sateve-
post published two stories Of Marv.e
Rutledge that are remembered -- The
Sad Adventurers' and Going On
Then. too, there is a young man with
a fair for real humor, Richard Con-
nell, as shown by The Sin of M'sieu

The Century had a Connell story
that brought about editorial comment
IN the metropolitan dailies. The

Philippine Reconstruction

That the work of undojnr the
damage caused in the Philippines by
the Harrison administration is going
to be difficult task is clear from
the remarks of former Governor
General W. Cameron Forbes on Sat
urday last. The Wilson policy of
giving authority to F'ilipinos who
had not the experience nor the capac-
lty TO exercise it has resulted in a
general loss of prestige BY the gov
ernment Of the Philippines. and not
only has serious y handicapped the
administration and impaired the
standards Of public health but also
has crippled the finances of the
islands.
The fact is that the Filipinos are
not YET ready for large measure of
local self-government nor will they
be FOR years. There is still a high
degree Of illteracy in the islands.
despite the fact that the Americans
have succeeded in raising the pro
portion Of literates from an nsig-
nlhcant fraction to about 81 per
cent. The difficult art of local self
government, which il has taken the
.Anglo-Saxon nations many genera
tons to learn, has naturally not
been acquired in few years by the
Fihpinos
For The Wilson policy Of teaching
them how to swim by throwing them
into the water is to be substituted
policy Of careful selection and train
ing. BY system Of inspection and
by encouraging the competent every
hing viii be done to help the de
velopmcnt Of the natives.
There are many conflicting Gle
ments in the islands. Certain groups
clamor loudly for complete and i'm
mediate independence. Others de-
mand complete independence but cx-
pect America to defend and finance
chem. Many others demand Ameri-
can control to a much greater extent
than heretofore. Some of the tribes
in the southern islands in uarticu-
lar resent the authority given there
to the native Fihpinos and demand
the return Of American officials.
The gist of the matter is contained
IN the words of Bishop Brent. for
years head Of the Philippine diocese.
America said he, will not relin-
qulsh her responsibility until it is
fulfilled and will not accept respon
sibllity without authority" And,
fortunately for the Philippines. Cen
eral Wood is clothed with authority
and, as one of the great colonial ad
mnistrators of the age, may be de-
pended upon to exercise it in the best
interests of the Filipinos as well as
of the United States.

Foreign Tongues

That the study Of foreign Ian.
guagcs in the leading universities
Of the country has decreased more
than 312 per cent during the last
elght years is reported by the presi-
deAt Of Hamilton College in an ad-
dress to the Association of Ameri-
can Colleges in Chicago.
This naturally comes as sur
prise. 1t had been generally ac-
cepted that not only the war but
the sudden interest in foreign trade
had ipSo facto increased the study
of foreign languages. Our trade
with South America alone was suffi-
clently stimulated to cause mush
room rise in the number of "schools"
for teaching Spanish in New York
City in the last five years. With
the decline in foreign trade there
was. of course, a corresponding de-
cline in the study of Spanish, but
mere was no reason to believe that
his decline would reach the colleges.
From business and educational
points Of view this decline, however
mall, must be regretted. Despite
he present slump in foreign trade,
as the. years go on, cannot
lelp playing an ever growing part
n the international trade of the
world. American statesmen and rep

Abusing Citizenship
Town Hall Meeting of lists" Draws

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Ancnt your splendid editorial
dealing with the abuse of American
citizenship by American-born as we'll as
alien citizens. | want to call your attcn-
tion to the following pledge, which was
taken Mt recent meeting at the Town
Hall by 1000 pacihsts, socialists, Boil
shcvists and lot Of other "ists":
"Bclicving that all war is wrong,
and that the arming of the nations,
whether by land or sea or air, Is
treason to the spiritual unity and in
telligencc Of mankind, declare it to
be my intention never to take part
in war offensive or defensive, inter
national or civil, whether it be by
bearing arms. making or handling
munitions. voluntarily subscribing to
war loans or using my labor for the
purpose of setting others free for
war service"
Now. presumably some Of these peo-
pie had taken out citizenship papers.
in which event they sworc that they

tuition and laws Of the United States

experimenting with that crowd, can
ceiling their citizenship papers and
starting tho holders back to Russia or
Germany, whence most of them seemed
to have come?
But there were others there who
were born in this country. some of
them belonging to families which have
been on American soil for many gencr-
ations. Would it not be a wholesome
thing to start little "ruction" there
too ard take away their citizenship
rights? II the law does not permit
