THE AMERICAN MEsTIzo

There are in the Philippines 49,
900 half American children, Ameri-
can mestizo, as contrasted with the
Spanish and Chinese mestizo or
half breeds. Among the latter are
found the more energetic leaders of
the Filipinos, most of them agitators
for Philippine independence.
Of these $4,000 there are said to
be 1000 in need of outside assist
ance in safeguarding and educating.
Governor General Wood has asked
for such aid. AS there surely IL no
reason to suppose that the American
mestizo would be less capable than
the Chinese and Spanish half breed,
he Is a factor in the future develop
ment of those islands that should not,
for reasons of policy if for no other
consideration, be overlooked.

MAY THEY SEE The TRUTH

1t must be admitted that the
Locarno pact would not now be in
existence but for the previous adop-
ton of the Dawes plan and the sue
cess which has attended it. One is
reminded of this sequence of
achievements by the attitude now
being ASSUMED by some of the
participants in the new and promis-
ing peace venture.
That attitude bespeaks a spirit
akin to hostility toward American
counsel and influence. 1t is not sur
prising that desire should prevail
across the water for a return of
Europe's influence in world affairs a
desire to take from America her ad-
vantage that has come to her by rea-
son of the war. While this may be
considered a display of human nature
to be expected under the circum-
stances it should have the light of
truth turned on it.
Assuredly the American people are
glad that European peace with all
that may mean has come to Europe.
They expect Europe to profit from
1t; they are more confident of its
lasting qualities because those coun-
tries have been compelled to CO.
operate in this effort. If they do
not wish to come to Washington for
conference to limit armament. all
right so long as they find a way to do
that by themselves; If they wish to
unite as debtors against a mutual
creditor, Uncle Sam, that Is their
privilege. Gratitude is not demand
ed, will not be demanded. Nor will
demand be made for fairness; that
must come other than by demand.
1t is possible that in process of
time the brains, the unstinted money
and energy which Europe found in
America when she needed them will
yet prove to be desirable. The
propaganda of bitterness that the
European politicians have made use
OF naturally win for period becloud
the relations. The youth of those
countries now being taught that
America is Shylock may eventually
learn that but for America there
would have been no pledges to keep
the peace made az Locarno. Ger
many would have demanded and the
others would have made haste to
yield. They may live to consider
that having decided the issue of war
we asked for no share in the spoils;
that American citizens having loaned
millions have been patient and con-
siderate; that they have contributed
most generously to those who suffer-
ed from the war; that but for Amer
lean aid probably France would have
been in the Ruhr today while
solvency and tranquility would have
been strangers in Europe.
We like to retain confidence In the
old saying: "the truth will OUT. We
hope 1t will not be too late for the
sedification of the coming generation
Of Europeans, for really it is small
world needing nevertheless the CO.
operation of all civilized folks to
keep 1t in order. And there is room
for all of us if we will but deal fair
Nv with each other.

The entire seasons pack of sar-

about 100000 cases. These are

million cases. There had at one
time been three million cases of sar-

occasionally 2h million but packers

PERMIT THEM TO COME IN

There are certain enterprises which
appeal to most people, who if they
weren't asked: "Will you come in on
this?' would feel offended. Surely
support of the Government under
which we live and to which we are
pledged should be one of these. Such
a responsibility is not only an honor
but it also is a privilege. Civiliza-
tons that overlooked or neglected
that fact have paid dearly with their
liberties for the bread and circuses"
lavished upon them by their would-be
rulers. How many more times must
the world learn to distrust those, who
come promising to relieve us of the
obligation of running our govern
ment, or promising US special favors
at the expense of that Government?
One guise which this specious pro-
paganda now assumes in our ma
only the rich; that taxes on incomes
below $4,000 should not be imposed.
Presumably there are quite few Of
us who would gladly be relieved Of
even that small levy, but are we to
conclude that none Of those having
less than $4,000 annual income are
competent to contribute their share
to the support of Government? Is
that a distinction to be sought?
There are incomes so small as to
represent little or nothing beyond a
bare livelihood. There is a sound
reason for exempting those, but does
that apply to the recipient Of an in
come Of s4999.99? And would not
the recipient Of that income be q
better citizen from having to pay his
share? Would he not scrutinize
political candidates and policies, gov
eminent expenditures and undertake
ings more wisely than were he ex-
empt from the responsibility of con-
tributing his share? 1t would seem

LEGION NOT RESPONSIBLE

1.-THE city Of Omaha, like a man
with headache, is asking itself who
permitted the wholesale carousing in
the city during the American Legion
convention there, and is blaming the
city, State and Federal prohibition
enforcement officers. Probably
Omaha's spirit Of hospitality had
much to do with it."-Boston Globe.
Later reports from these conviwial
doings indicate that the American
Legion Convention afforded the &C.
casion for thousands of sight-seers
to congregate at Omaha; further
that their congregating afforded oc-
casion for the disposal of scandal
Gus quantity of intoxicating liquor;
that there is nothing in the facts to
warrant the conclusion that all or
even a major portion Of this was
drank by legionnaires. 1t further
more appears that the Legion
authorities complained to the Omaha
authorities of the lax conditions and
detailed a guard to aid the city
forces in maintaining law and order
These conditions were described by
General Albert Greenlaw in an ad-
dress before the local Legion MONDAY
evening. He spoke from observa-
ton and took exception to some OIL
the reports current He declares IN
effect that only by the aid OF the
military police of the Legion was any
law enforcement obtained.
Evidently the Legion was not re-
sponsible for the lawlessness and Is
entitled to credit for such mainten-
once of law and order as was had'
Surely it should not be made the goat
of the lawless, who assembled al
Omaha for an orgy, but shouid
speak out frankly in condemnation
of the discraceful proceedings.

Isn't it about time that silly,
dangerous stunts on the public high
ways were forbidden especially when
the safety of those who travel the
highways is imperilled by these ex-
ploits? If some individual obsessed
with that sort of ambition desires to
be chained to an automobile steer
ing wheel in Indianapolis and not be
released until he arrives at Miami,
neither stopping nor sleeping for
six days. it might be unwise to op-
pose any obstacles if the per-
Torrance of the foolish feat didn't
interfere with the rights OF others.
No person driving under such con-
ditions is a safe person to drive on
public highway, and surely the
public should not be expected to get
off the road while he is travelling.
