The Manila Mountain labors

(bOStOn transcript
The Manila politicians who main
tain publicity headquarters in WASH
ington and commute between the
American capital and the Philippine
capital, and operate an -Ameri-
can propaganda factory out of funds
voted by the Island Legislature from
The Filipino treasury, have at last
filed with the Congress a bill of par
ticulars setting forth their 'so-called
grievances against the American rep
resentative in the islands, Governor
General Wood. He is charged with
failing to give the Filipinos independ-
ence. He was not appointed for that
purpose. He is charged with falling
TO administer his office in accord
with the laws passed by the Filipino
legislature. He was not appointed for
that purpose. That is not the organ
lie law under which he exercises his
authority as governor general. He
holds and administers his office by
act of the American Congress, duly
signed and approved by the Presi-
dent. To have set aside this law or
to have acquiesced in its violations
by the Filipino legislature would have
subjected the governor general either
to recall by the President or i'm
parchment by the Congress.
AS for the other charges, they are
largely rhetoric. For example, the
manifesto says that "the freedom and
the happiness of the Filipino people,
to which the honor and the patriot
ism of America and the patriotism
of the Filipinos are equally commit
ted, are too sacred to be the plaything
Of one-man power" Granted-and
they are not the plaything of one--
man power. The governor general
Is accountable to the President of
the United States. and by the Presi-
dent he has been sustained as admin
istrating the islands, not only to the
advantage and economic benefit of
the Filipino people, but in obedience
to the law of the land, which is the
law of the Congress. not the will of
the Filipino legislature. The truth Is
that the bill of particulars filed by the
Filipino politicians at Washington Is
aimed directly at President Coolidge
and the American Congress and the
American people; them it endeavors
TO hit over the shoulder OF their able
representative at Manila.
The Manila mountain has Iabored

Governor Baxter evidently con-
cludes the rum conspiracy that
t.nourishes in some sections of our
State" Is not yet throttled. In again
saying that he Is not candidate for
Governor, that "the present Is Of in
terest enough to take my entire at
tention" he emphasizes his belief
that Maine people really want a
clean wholesome State. He regards
this a large issue in the Maine cam
paign, that the good name Of the
State is of far greater Importance
than to advance the interest Of any
person or party.
He but gives expression to an at
titude which prevails all over tho
State, rum conspiracy to the con-
trary notwithstanding. But 1t needs
more vigor. more self sacrifice and
untiring persistence. 1t is not easy to
obtain the evidence which officers
of the law must have in order to
secure conviction. Not many of the
citizens have the evidence to give,
and too often those who do will not
give it unless compelled to do so. 1t
ought not to be so, but SO 1t Is. Not
a few of those who have not
sci%ipled to buy of bootleggers would
rise up in wrath II they thought the
bootIegging element was debating
the kind of government we should
have.
1t is time sensible people saw the
situation as 1t Is. We can't be half
bootlegged and half dry. We can't

There are too many Bs. for one

Now If rum selling Is to be put

to secure prosecution. How Is that
evidence to he obtained? This is a
vital need. without ii the rumse!ler
may chuckle. We may be reason
ably convinced that he is selling
liquor. but a court requires evidence.
Again. who is to get that evidence?
Remember this is not any easy thing
to do. even in the case Of those who
are notorious. How much money
are we spending to get that evidence
and are we prepared to spend more
money than is the rumseller to buy

have to account for what money they

money; the rumsellers provide them

Are we tamely to submit to being
bootlegged?
This is, in it's varied forms, the
issue presented. 1t looks now as
though both the leading political
organizations in Maine would be
committed to enforcement of law,
prohibitory as we'll as other law.
They could not afford to do other
wise. This puts the responsibility
on the voters for selecting the candi-
dates who will make resolutions eff
fective.
Whatever one may think about the
merits Of any law doesn't warrant
that person in breaking it or permit
ting or aiding others to break it.
Ways are legally provided for chang
ing law and it is our privilege to
make use of them, but violating law
Is not one of these.
This position was emphasized by

Nowhere in our country is there
a wet seriously contending that pro-

Every effort is directed at the
evasion of the law. The only thing
upon which the wet generals are
agreed is that the old position must
be regained."
when the father laughs at the
prohibition law, the son laughs at
the speed laws, the neighbor laughs
at the laws of property and the Red
laughs at all laws. Better quit
laughing at laws!
Put the citizen bootlegger in the
pen and when he comes out he is no
longer a citizen. II he is a foreigner,
send him back to the country he
came from and never let him make
another track in this country!
1.-THE man who buys liquor from
the bootlegger Is no better than the
bootlegger. and he should not be re-
ceived in decent society. noe recog-
nized in the business world, nor
elected to office, he should be ar
rested and tried and sentenced to
the penitentiary along with the boot
leggers."
How long before we are to renog-
nize the logic of this. and respect it?
