General Woods Successor

When it comes to selecting a successor to Gen
Leonard Wood to represent this Government in the
philippines it is to be hoped for all concerned that
something better than an Ohio politician will be
offered
While General Wood had his differences with such
leaders as Quezon and Osmena the main difference
was that Wood trying to administer existing laws
and these leaders would not be satisfied with ANYTHING
less than absolute independence So there was ALWAYS
some clash between General Wood and the Filipino
legislature. At the sane time there was a feeling
that Wood was really friend who was doing the best
ne could under the circumstances He enjoyed the
confidence OF Agunaldo former fighting general of tis
native army when it fighting for liberty, and the
hostility of Quezon more against our policy of
delayed independence than against Wood personally
One OF the dangers now is governor who will be
more interested in commercial exploitation than any,
thing else While it is all right for our representatives
In official life 10 work tremendously and co-opera
lively with legitimate American business interests in
the islands, STILL the interests Of the Filpinos them
selves is OF paramount Importance And we should
remember that they have our promise of independence
The key to the attitude Of the faction of which
Quezon is the leader is that its leaders want indie
pendence at any price, our withdrawal in the
event OF independence means leaving the Fipnos tc
their own resources.
General Wood had no soft job, and he was an ex.
cepuonaly able administrator. His successor should
be chosen with great care and with view to main
tanning relations friendly possible during our &C.
cupation Of the islands.

Vigorous protest was made by a
delegation of colored landowners in
the Mount Reno district against the
bill, which proposes development of
this highest land in the District as a
model community center, at a hearing
before the subcommittee on parks and
Fairgrounds of the House District
committee yesterday.
These property owners stated that
their holdings were not assessed at
true value and that If acquired for
the proposed development under the
limitation Of Is per cent in excess Of
the assessed valuation they would vir-
tually have their homes confiscated.
Lieut.. Col. L. S. Grant. Sd, officer
in charge of public buildings and
parks, discussed the provision in the
bill directing that streets within the
proposed development be built by the
District Commissioners in conformity
with the highway plan. He explained
that this work is now under the adj
