Philippine Sanitation

From we'll authenticated reports of the inspection
tour If Col. Carm Thompson Of the Philippine Islands,
they do not need independence nearly as much as
they need sanitation The conditions there are out
lined dsgraceful and truly the detailed descrip-
ton Of them bears out that contention. The fault
lies with the American administration for not pro-
vdiny the governor general of the islands with suf-
fcient staff with which to enforce proper sanitary
codes
Offhand we should say that conditions in the
Philippines arc far from good but that the remedy
lies not in giving them independence which they
would not know what to do with. but in insttuting
vigorous cleanup that will insure proper sanitary
and living conditions throughout the islands,

The Paris.LOndOn Crash

The wreck Of the Pars-London airplanc on the
Kent coast with the loss Of two lives and many in
jured is much to be regretted. For long time,
now, these Pars-London air routes have been op-
Grating with larger factor Of safety than many
nd railroads. despite the fact that arplanes were
used This record has fostered great deal Of con.
hdencc in the route and the traffic has become heavy
enough SO that it is practically paying PROPOSE
ton.
+ This accident will affect business to some extent
There can be no doubt Of that. The air Is as yet
such new vehicle lane that every accident to some
extent destroys the confidence Of the travelling
public.

the big development of the future and sooner or
