The Mission Of Mr.. Roxas
(Roston TranacrinN

(Boston Transcript
SO Manuel RoXas is on his way
from Manila to Washington. He
| comes. we are told, as the official
delegate of the Philippine Ipdepend-
ence Commission. and the object of
his coming is to present the Filipino
side of the controversy between the
Governor General and the native leg
islators." OF his authority to make
such presentation there can be no
question. He is the Speaker Of the
Philippine House OF Representatives,
and the foremost lieutenant of Man
uel Quezon, the leader Of the Filipino
Separatists. With the sole exception
| of his chief. Mr.. Quezon himself. he
Is the fittest man who could possibly
,, have been sent hithcr on such an en-
| rand.
His task will not he difficult. In
deed, he has abundantly discounted
1t in advance, by his utterances at
Manila.All that he will have to do
will be to present himself to the
Chief of the Bureau of Insular AZ
fairs. or better to the Secretary Of
War himself, and point to his well
known record Of the last three
months. II he wishes to enter some
what into detail, he may recall his
pubAAS uCStuA oliOi VA JUDI dUOut ~ "
months ago, to wit:
Filipino members of the cabinet
and our other representatives in the
Government have encroached on the
powers and prerogatives of the Gov
/ ernOr General. That Is true. We
have encroached upon the rights of
the Governor General"
That, we submit, will be most
effective presentation of the Filipino
| side of the controversy between the
Governor Genral and native legisla-
tors" And If the Bureau or Secre-
tary Weeks should desire any fur
Their details such as the reasons for
such encroachment by the Filipinos
upon the rights and pbwers and pre-
| negatives of General Wood, it will be
| equally easy for Mr.. Roxas to reply
by recalling the public declaration Of
his chief. Mr.. Quezon; to wit:
Our object is to reduce the Gov
ernor General of the Philippines to q
| mere figurehead."
Such a presentation of the "Fili-
pino side OF the controversy" to the
Washington Government would be q
most felicitous and complete fulfil
ment OF Mr.. ROxas mission. It would
also have the incidental and not all
together insignificant merit of being
quite true. We can imagine that
Secretary Weeks and even President
Coolidge. would be considerably in
terested in the frank avowal that the
Filipino politicians have been en-
croachinG upon the rights and powers
OF the direct personal representative
! of the President of the United States,
| and that their object is to reduce
that representative of the President
OF the UniteH States to "a mere fig-
| urehead." There would be no ques-
ton as to the positive and decisive
! character Of the results Of Mr.. Rox-
| ass mission; though II might not be
exactly what he and his fellow Sep
| arntists desired.

Famous COurtship
Shown BY Sign Posts

Ringmer, England, Nov. 1 ca. P.
by MaiD--This little old village
gave to the world the wives of John
Harvard and William Penn, and a
sign post to tell the passing motorists
of this fact has been erected. II

Harvey, the American Ambassador.
John Harvard. founder OF the
University which Bears his name,
married the daughter of John Sad
Ter. vicar of Ringmer, Penn married
the daughter Of Sir william Sprin-
gett, whose name for a century pre-
ceding had been linked to this VIII
lage. and whose blood has come
of the sign post, Lady Demetriadi.

A STEP IN THE RIGHT SIREc
TON

Instructions issued by Secretary of
State Ball to the clerks of the auto
mobile division Is step in the right
direction. That further steps are not
at this time taken presumably is be-
cause ways and means have not been
provided by the Legislature for doing
SO.
He would provide for such checks
to improper licensing as now seem
possible, with every precaution to
report any indication of mental and
physical defects, insistence on an
answer to the question, the reference
of doubtful cases to the Office, also all
applications from those who have
never driven motor vehicle.
Massachusetts provides for a rigid
examination Of the applicant, he pay
ing the cost of such examination, and
this. we believe, is as 1t sh- Id be
and probably will have to be before
proper requirements are met. But a
beginning has been made and the
need is painfully apparent. There are
many now driving high powered mo-
tor cars who scarcely should be
trusted to shoe hens out of a garden.

"Look out. look out! I'm tearing
mad,
And so would you be, say,
II you had ring run through
your nose,
AS l have had o-day,"
shouted the roaring mad bull I told
you about in the last story. But he
didn't try to hurt Little Jack Rabbit
nor the little donkey; he just stood
still and snorted like a steam engine
when it starts off with heavy train
load of cars.
q maybe it's a magic fairy ring"
suggested the bunny hoy.
Nothing of the Kind" answered
the big bull, tits just plain, every
day ring made by mortal hands. If
it were fairy ring I'd feel better"
would you really? said a tiny
voice, all of sudden, just like that,
and the next minute a little fairy
jumped out of wild rose and stood
before them. With q wave of her
wand. she turned the ugly iron into
beautiful gold with q big diamond
setting Then, she waved her wand
