Filipino aspirations for independ-
ence and American administration OF
the islands under Gen. Leonard Wood
as governor general are warmly de-
bated by the press in discussing the
generals return to the United States
to seek renewed health and to per-
sonally report to President Coolidge.
Opinions range all the way from
the New York Herald -Tribune's Re-
publican) belief that at would be
genuine misfortune if Gov. Gen.
Woods health did not permit him to
return to the Philippines" to this
thrust from the st. Louis Post-Dis.

profound discomfort which stirs the
Philippines and in spite Of the per-

piest people on earth. Now you tell

The Indianapolis Star independently
thinks tfaat lin the event Of his resig-
nation the Government would have

the American interest in the Philip
pines if Gen. Wood had retired at
this time" and finds 1.-The announce
ment from the Summer White House
that he will return to his post this

Observer credits the general with
doing good job. and assumes that
the Government intends to send him

much comment. Many papers share
the view Of the Seattle Daily Times
independent Republican,. which says:
mo part of the world has made
greater progress than the Philippines
since their acceptance OF United
States sovereignty, and under the In
cumbency Of Gen. Wood their ad.
vancement has been more marked
than in any previous period of SINH

On the other hand, the Louisville

Gen. Wood and Philippines
Again Stir Differing Views

Gndependent Democratic), which
thinks a change of governors would De

we hold subject races against their
will, and follow policies that make IL
dangerous to permit the reading OF the
Declaration of Independence in the
schools of our possession WlthouI

Democratic). the fault is with ''the ap-
pointing power which sought to NIL a
round hole with a square peg. So II
a good soldier fails in a non-military
mission, what Of it?' asks the Ad-
vance.
AS to the feasibility Of Filipino in
dependence, the Kansas City Post
independently asserts: Sound students
of the Philippines agree that complete
independence, II it ever is to come. Is
4 goal for the indefinite future" The
Richmond News.Leader independent
Democratic) remarks: Theories there
are in abundance; practice is beset
with a thousand doubts and ten thou
thousand difficulties"

Noting that Gen. Wood "justifies his
stand against the independence pieD-
iscite on the ground that he was saw
ing the people in his care from eX-
ploitatio by designing, political ao-
venturers from whom they did not
know how to protect themselves" the
Detroit Free Press independently re-
marks, "And we cannot think of any
thing which was more directly within
his line of duty as governor general"
The Fort Wayne News-Sentinel (Re-
publican) characterizeS the talk about
Philippine independence as $50 much
chatter by irresponsible paciflsts and
fanatics, many of whom are living in
the clouds and are to be more pitied
than censured."
Yet the Omaha World-Herald Gnde-
pendent) says: 20 foolish Filipinos! To
want to trade the substance of mate
rial well-being for the shadow Of dis
turbed and disturbing independence!
Their heads are filled with the kind of
nonsense over which Washington and
the Adamses and Jefferson and Frank
lin and Paine and John Hancock went
daft. II the people Of the Philippines
are prosperous, what more can they
ask"
AS the Duluth Herald independently
see it. "the real point is that it isn't
good for any people, however kindly.
to get into the habit of managing an
other people. 1t is bad for both sides
of this had bargain. and contains
within itself the elements of its own
ultimate destruction"
The Portland Express Republican,
insists that "a strong hand is still
needed in the Philippines" and the in.
dependence now being sought docs
not mean independence at all, but the
exploitation Of the archipelago by O
group that is inspired, not by patriot
ian. but seldshness."

Beware Illegal Drivers.

Under the law of Congress all old
automobile drivers permits, issued
prior to the passage of the amended
traffic act. became void at midnight
Of the night before the Fourth. There
were more than 100000 Of such per-
mits. and of these more than 10000
have not been submitted for renewal.
OF course, the holders of some of
these have died and others have
moved out of the city. But there are
several thousand persons in Wash.
ington today who, if they are driv-
ing, are driving Illegally and are sub
ject to arrest. And they should be
arrested, for they have had more than
a years time in which to apply for
renewals, and have had repeated
warnings. If they are driving today
it is knowingly in defiance of the law.
Today the status is that those old
permits are as though they had never
been issued. Those who hold them, if
they apply for renewal, must go
through the same tests as novice
applying for permit for the first
time. They must pass an examina-
ton on the traffic law and the rules
and regulations of the Police Depart
ment regarding traffic and the opera.
ton of motor vehicles. And they
must give a demonstration of their
ability properly to operate a motor
vehicle in congested traffic with
policeman sitting in the rear seat.
Had they applied for a renewal be.
fore midnight, they would merely
have had to turn in their old permits
and ask for new ones. Their rec.
ords as operators of motor vehicles
would have been looked up and if
they were satisfactory new permits
would have been mailed.
The net result will be that the al.
ready overrushed permit Office Of
the Traffic Bureau will have thousands
Of drivers crowding in upon it de-
handing immediate service and using
all the Influence" they can command
to get preferential attention. The work
Of the permit office will be blockaded.
and especially because each Of these
thousands of tardy applicants must,
under the law. be examined as to his
knowledge Of law and regulations and
ability as an operator.
All of this is an injustice to those
public servants who have been try
ing to keep the work of the Traffic Blu
reau current, and is an injustice to
the taxpayers because funds counted
upon from the new permits have not
been forthcoming, and because it will
require extra help and additional ex-
pense to collect the new license fee.
The cost to the taxpayer Of issuing
the drivers permit has been in
creased, with no increase to the re-
cipient of the permit, who is solely to
blame and on whom the extra cost
should fall.
On the Fourth Of July, when we
hear SO much patriotic acclaim. it is
not amiss to emphasize that real
patriotism is in proper support Of the
Government at all times, and that
such procrastination in obeying the
law which directed each driver TO get
a new permit is not the part of a
good citizen and is unpatriotic.

In answer to the young lady who
wrote for "a list of books with which
l might pleasantly pass what prom.
ises to be some idle hours during this
coming Summer" we present the fol-
lowing selection:
Emmy LOU" by George Madden
Martin. A beautifully told story of
the heart of a child.
Merton of the Movies" by Harry
Leon Wilson. Worth while If for no
other reason than the character of the
heroine.
1.-THE Romance Of Gilbert Holmes"
by Marshall Monroe Kirkman. You
may have to go to the Library Of Con.
gress for this, but 1t is worth it. Very
few persons have ever heard Of it, but
it is a real love story. So is Hugh
Wynne," by DR.. Weir Mitchell.
Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis
Carroll. No matter If you are young
high school lady of IS. read this one
over again. The older you are, the
more you will like it!
Uncle Remus," by Joel Chandler
Harris. One or more of these vol.
umes.
tom Sawyer Abroad" by Mark
Twain To us the most interesting of
these stories of boys of bygone day.
"Penrod" and "Penrod and SAM
by Booth Harrington. The successors
to Tom Sawyer" and more in keep
ing with today. Of course.
THE Sketch Book" Irving, and
"Mosses from an Old Manse," Haw-
thorne. Throw these in by way Of dis
cipline to the writing instinct. Hold
them in reserve for the hottest days
of the Summer. The hotter the day,
the heavier the book.
elsie Venner," by Oliver Wendell
Holmes. Here is a good one, not
much read any more, but with a slant
that connects it with quite modern
discoveries. We won't infict 1.-THE
Autocrat Of the Breakfast Table"
upon you. for personally we think it
horribly dull.
Lorna Doone," by r. d. Black
more. Every one should read this
one.
''Pickwick Papers" by Charles
Dickens. Also his Nicholas Nickle-
by" and Great Expectations" You
can't beat this trio.
"Meditations of Marcus Aurelius."
Very few women ever read this. so we
recommend it for that reason. Many
OF Washington's finest high school
boys have builded their character upon
the meditations Of this fine man.
Emma" and pride and Prejudice"
by Jane Austen. Two novels that
every girl ought to read, not only for
the story, but to show her that great
novels may be written with very sim
pie material.
1.-THE Secret Garden" by Frances
Hodgson Burnett. We have always
liked this story.
IA Crystal Age" by w. H. Hudson.
A queer thing.
Lord jim" by Joseph Conrad.
There is no reason why a girl shouldn't
like this one.
Poems" by Edgar Allan Poe. Mu-
sic in words, usually fancied by young
people, and by such of their elders as
retain youthful instincts.
THE Conspirators, Marguerite de
Valois," "Chicot the Jester" and 1.-THE
Forty-Five Guardsmen," by Alex
andre Dumas. Our pick of the 1000
novels written by this master. mo,
we haven't read the other 900)
"Cyrano de Bergerac," by Edmond
Rostand. One of the greatest plays
ever written.

The most that can be claimed by
those who started the controversy
over President Coolidge's fishing
methods is an even break. He first
used worms. then tried out fly. He
caught trout with both. Now that he
has pleased both the West. which is
the kingdom of bait-flshing, and the
East, which pledges allegiance to the
fly. he should be free to choose his
own method during the remainder of
his stay In the Black Hills. But he
will probably find the Western method
the most productive of results, par
ticularly in July,
