While Senator Hiram Johnson was
in Europe certain unselfish souls
among our forward lookers" were
selecting him as the burnt offering
to be laid upon the affairs Of third
party in 1924. Divers gentry also
have been showing him into the race
against President Harding. The
Senator acquired much third party
wisdom in 1912. He is a wise and
willy old bird. In vain in the sight
of the bird is the net Of the third
party fowler displayed. He put in
few years in the more or less
wilderness. Having got hack home
in the party, he proposes to stick
around and get his mail at the Re-
publican address. There was little
dinner" for him in New York last
night and the word output was
large. Whatever the upshot of that
dinner may be the situation must
change greatly if the Californian is

PLATINUM AND SUCKERS

If the holder of stock in a o-called
platinum mine should use it for kin
ding the fire some morning he very
likely would not suffer serious loss.
The Federal Government is warning
the public to scrutinize all offers of
stock in platinum ventures. 1t in
ferns us that great effort, owing to
the high price of the metal and the
shortage of supply from Russia, has
induced every effort to develop a
supply in this country. Notwith-
standing this the bulletin states:
THE United States appears to have
no important resources of platinum
at least none which is at all likely
ever to supply the nations demand.
or any considerable fraction of it,.
When we think how thoroughly the
country has been searched for depos-
its of this metal and consider that all
these efforts have resulted only in
securing some thousand ounces in a
year. it would seem the part Of dis
erection to invest our money in some
enterprise other than in platinum
prospects,.

Filipino Politicians

New York Times lind. Dem.)
At the bottom of the present diff
Guilty between Governor General Wood
and the Filipino politicians lies the de-
sire of this group to resist any at
tempt on the part of the United States
Government to interfere with their
plans for prompt independence. The
Conley affair. which precipitated the
present controversy appears to have
been seized upon by the Filipinos as a
pretext to demand a show down. The
result is to bring to the fore a conflict
between two policies. on the one hand
that of the Filipinos demanding indie
pendence today. and on the other hand
that of the United States unwilling to
grant independence until the task of
fitting the Filipinos for self-govern-
ment has been completed
The policy of the Filipinos Is readily
understandable when it is recalled that
the Wilson Admnistrat ton voluntarily
turned over almost the entire control
of the islands to the natives. and
that the President himself whetted
their expectation Of prompt liberation
by advocating in his message to Con-
gross on Dec. 1920 the gift to them
of the independence which they so
honorably covet." 1t is not surprising
tndL unuer lneSe circumstances Iney
should resent a policy which is frank
~ based on the theory that the time
for this independence has not yet ar
rived.
The Harding policy. which follows
the recommendations of General Wood
former Governor General Forbes, and
numerous other experts in colonial
government and in Filipino affairs has
been particularly difficult of execution
ON account of the results of the Fill
pinization of the islands. With more
kindness to the Filipinos than to Gov

ton, the WoodForbes report of 1921

It was getting very exciting just as
we left off in the last story for don't
you remember the handsome prince
and Little Jack Rabbit had jumped
out of the coach and into the castle
to save the lovely princess.
Well, no sooner had they entered
than a wicked lord ran down the
stairs with a sword in his hand, and
wounded the handsome prince.
Quick as the wind, the little rabbit
hoped up on the banisters and
touched that wicked lord with his
magic feather, and he vanished in a
cloud of smoke.
Down fell great key to the floor.
Picking it up, Little Jack Rabbit and
the handsome prince who was very
weak from his wound, went down into
the dungeon. How the bunny boy
knew that the key would fit the dun
geon door don't know. but it did and
in less than five hundred short sec

The Dominion of Canada is plan

youth, who are unable at home to
learn trades owing to restriction of
the labor unions on apprentices, and
to place them on farms. How long
Will the farmer stand for this? AL
ready there is overproduction of
farm products and If he would pro-
tect himself after the manner of the
union laborer he will also restrict
apprentices. Fine situation then!
What might the millions OF youth

hood do under such circumstances?
Surely they could not pay the high
prices for products which such
restrictions would impose.

Filipinos was not altogether the fault
of the natives.
The Administration Tsays the re-
port1 deliberately adopted the
policy of getting rid of most of the
Americans in the service, compe-
tent and otherwise, and made the
service so unattractive that very
few remained, until at this writ
ing [summer, 1921 the percentage
of Americans in the service is on
~ per cent, S6 per cent being
Filipinos. The orderly process of
promotion Of proved efficiency
from the less important positions
was changed to hurried Filipino
cation, placing Filipinos in nearly
all of the higher positions. Many.
including some of those selected
for judges, were chosen apparent
~ without due reference to their
training or experience.
Thetask of General Wood. therefore
has been to restore the efficiency OF
the Government to encourage the best
elements among the younger Filipinos
educated under the American system to
enter the service and. without depriv-
ing the Filipinos of their rights, yet
to make it clear to them that the
American Government considers that
there is still much to be done before
the islands can be turned loose. At.
tacks from malicious partisan sources
in this country have pretended that
the trouble has arisen because of Gen
eral Woods desire to play the role Of
military dictator. Such a charge. o..
absurd as it is unfounded lis merely
an endeavor to obscure the real issue
This is not conflict between Leonard
tween the American forces believing
in a thorough preparation for eventua
independence and the Filipino politici
clans who wish to embark by them
selves upon the perilous voyage of un
prepared autonomy.
