.RlD OF AN INCUBUS"

The fate of the Tampa Telegraph which quit
recently after eight months Of operation during
which ii lost conservatiyely $4,000 month, IL
illustrates again the folly Of trying to gain susie
nance for more newspapers than town can sup
port; even be It so good town as Tampa The
Telegraph started under highly favorable aus
pices as could have been picked It was at the
peak Of the greatest advertising season the state
the country has ever known. 1t had unlimited
capital back o. Il. II had at command the best
newspaper brains the state can show. brains which
had already made monumental success Of
other paper.
But IL was not in the logic Of things that it
could succeed and its wise owners were glad to
walk out Of the doors and find themselves wei rid
Of the incubus.

other sort Of business except that Of the public
utilities which it resembles in q way. Many have
not thought out that fact to conclusion but it is

Virtually Abolished Board.

Gov. Gen. Woods order virtually
abolishes the board of control.
At previous legislative sessions and
in his last annual message Gen. Wood
recommended the sale Of the Govern
ment-oWned corporations to private
concerns, to take the Government
out of business" His efforts, how.
| ever, were unavailing because Of the
breach between legislative and execu-
tive authority and because Of the
power of the native board members
by majority vote to override his
wishes.
President Coolidge in a recent mes
sage urged the strengthening Of the
executive powers of the governor gen.
eral, and the Jones bill, which is now
the organic act of the Philippines, re-
stored to the executive many powers
lost to him during the regime Of Gov.
Harrison.
Carmi A. Thompson, who recently
studied economic conditions in the
archipelago for President Coolidge,
has not as yet made his report

under authority, it was stated, of
opinions rendered by the Judge Ad-
vocate General of the United States
Army and the Attorney General of
the United States holding invalid
creating the board of control and
defining its duties. These opinions
greatly increase the powers of the
governor general.
Under the Philippine statute, the
board of control selects the directors
OF all government-owned corpora
tlons, including the Philippine Ma
tional Bank. Manila Railroad Co,
National Development Co, National
Coal Co. and other corporations.
Overrode Governor General.
The Senate president and House
speaker, being a majority, were en-
abled to dictate decisions of the
board overriding the governor gen.
erai.
The executive order, with the opin-
ions Of Judge Advocate, General
Davis and Attorney General Sargent,
was handed to President of the SEN
ate Manuel QueZOn and Speaker
Manuel Roxas Immediately after the
sine die adjournment Of the Legis
lature yesterday.
Gov. Gen. Woods order follows:
Whereas it is held by opinion of
the Judge Advocate General of the
United States Army. confirmed by
opinion of the Attorney General of the
United States, received November Z,
that provisions of statutes passed by
the Philippine Legislature creating the
board of control or committee and
enumerating the duties and powers
thereof, respecting certain corpora
tionS wherein the inSular government
is the owner of stock, are utilities;
that the remaining portions of said
statutes are valid; that the duties
imposed by these statutes upon the
board are executive in nature and
subject to the provisions of the or
ganic act relating to executive func-
tionS; that said executive duties and
powers may be performed as in other
cases not specifically provided by
law.
Now, therefore, acting under au-

luton designating Quezon, Roxas and

"The test is absolutely educational"
For whites and blacks alike?"
"Suttinly, sub, for both races alike.
It's strictly constitutional"
"How do you apply the test?"
"Well, sub, it's this way: If it's
white man who wants to vote and he
happens to be a stranger to the poll
ing officers we ask him If he's a Demo
crat, and if he says yes to that, we
ask him If his father fought for the
Confederacy and If he says yes we
ask him If he chews tobacco, and If
his answer still is Yes we say to
him: Walk right in and vote"
But suppose the applicant is col
