FREEING THE PHILIPPINES

In view of the consistent agita-
ton for the independence of the Phil
ippines the contention, recently made
public by George H. Fairchild, that
Congress has no power to grant in
dependence to the islands, has come
in for great deal of attention and
discussion.
The Consensus of opinion seems to
be that there is grave doubt weather
such action by Congress would be
constitutional. There is no question
that the United States has good
title to the Philippines. The islands
has been held by Spain for centuries
and were turnd over>to US by a treaty
for consideration
It IS the contention of those who
think the granting of independence
would be unconstitutional, that soy
ereignty does not inhere in Congress
but in the people Of the United States
as a whole and that the trainers of
the Constitution never intended that
Congress should have the power IF
alternating territory belonging to the
United States.
When the state Of Virginia was rat
flying the Constitution, after its q
doption, john Randolph declared II
debate that "there is no power in the
Constitution to cede any part Of the
Territories Of the United States" and
Thomas Jefferson is said to have ac-
cepted this doctrine.
The only way in which the Philip
! pines could be given independence
would be by an amendments to the

TODAY IN WEST VIRGINIA
By e. K. MEREDITH

For the first time in West Virgin
la there seems to be surplus of
school teachers. This condition is
attributed to the industrial depres-
sion. Those young people who start
teaching with the idea Of making it a
stepping stone to Something else"
find that it is not easy to find the
something else" Certain boards Of
education are refusing to employ
married women as teachers under the
present conditions. When there was
a dearth of teachers the boards jump
at the chance to employ married wo
men but now they have taken anoth-
err position The purpose of the
schools is not to offer livelihood to
either married or unmarried women.
but to offer education and with this
in view the very best teachers obtain
able should be secured. The Buck
harmon Delta advises the repeal Of
the teachers minimum salary law as
a solution for the surplus of teachers
question and advocates lowering the
salary of teachers setting forth the
law of supply and demand. No step
which decreases the quality of school
teachers should be considered, if
it can possibly be avoided. West
Virginia schools are none too good
as they are.
Last year there We're 1856 teach
ers in West Virginia and of these
2,275 were teaching their first term
and 1922 were teaching their second
term About fifty per cent of the
teachers of the state last year were
in their apprentice stage

West Virginia voted for prohibition
nearly four to one long before the
country outlawed liquor by consti-
tutional amendment. So West Vir-
ginia can be considered a pioneer
prohibition state. 1t is observing
prohibition great deal better than
most states of the union, with is
possibly due to the fact that there
is no wet sections, except in and
around Wheeling. Public sentiment
in all parts of West Virginia, except
ing Wheeling, is for prohibition en-
forcenant.
