CHOICE PLEASES PEOPLE.
Appointment a. Governor General
Held to Mean Greater Autonomy.

MANILA, December IA LP)-News Of
the appointment OF Henry j.. Stimson
a governor general of the Philippines
was received here with mixed feelings.
especially by American business men
While publicly praising Col. Stimson
and declaring that his ability virtually
assures success to his administration,
many Americans expressed concern
over the changes in the Philippine
government advocated by him in re-
cent months.
In an article in Foreign Affairs
Magazine last A pril Stimson proposed
the development of Irresponsible" ma
iority and minority political parties
and that the department secretaries
composing The governor generals
cabinet be selected from the dominant
party. He also proposed that the
American governor general use the
veto only in cases of serious derelic-
ton.
Greater Autonomy Seen.
The appointment is taken by some
to mean that the Filipinos are to be
given greater autonomy. Among
these VINO see this as a possibility is
William II. Anderson, prominent DEM
ocrat and head of one of the largest
importing and exporting firms in the
islands.

conceived ideas on the solution of this

Mr.. Anderson. There is hardly any

The director Of the employment bureau Of New
York University announced the other day some fig
ures that at first glance appear tremendously out Of
proportion. He said that last year the student body
Of the university earned s27, 100000. However, there

a year would produce Mr.. Lawscns incredible total
Of 100000
In New York the college population in Columbia,
New York University and the City College exceeds
$4,000. The total earnings for that huge registration.
even on a smaller scale than Mr.. Lawson has on record
for his institution, should reach a total Of nearly &c.,
100000. Obviously it could not be done outside a very
large city. But only very large urban locations would
account for so huge a registration. Since half Of New
York US students are whole-time workers, the night
classes account for a large part Of the matriculation.
At the University of Texas it is estimated that,
with the greatest economy, about 5000 is required to
meet all expenses Of the students year. In the ag-
sence Of night class work there are not more than 300
students earning all Of their expenses during the school
year, but close to rs per cent are partial contributors
to their own support. Three hundred students would
earn $4,000 a year, and a conservative estimate would
put the total earnings Of all students at 100000. To
this sum must be added full-time summer earnings Of a
very large number Of the students, evidenced by their
ability to meet bank loans negotiated to pay expenses
while on a ~part-time school basis. 1t is safe to say that
a student population of 5000 at the University Of Tex
as earns in excess of 100000. and a large part Of it
in a comparatively small capital city where the oppor-
tunities for employment are restricted.
Locate the University in Dallas, where there is q
more remunerative field for workers, and the total
would probably be astounding. It would be interest

The World and All
IN NEW YORK
By Charles p. Driscoll


Interesting visitors make the days pass beautifully.
James Montgomery Flagg is one Of the most interesting
Of this weeks callers. 1t seems to me that / have
seen his drawings in print since childhood. ! expect
ed to see a man with white hair and feeble step.
But Flagg doesn't look to be more than forty
years old, although Who's Who puts him down as
fifty. He is tall, slender. dark, with black hair. He
has a particularly pleasing voice and an agreeable
enunciation. He has immense enthusiasms. For in
stance. he is almost ecstatic in his admiration Of
John BarrymOre's acting. He likes Barrymore as Ham
let so we'll that he doesn't care to see anybody else
play that role.
Laird Archer, foreign director of the Near East
Relief. was another of the weeks most interesting call
ers, and ! managed to have lunch with him to hear him
talk about his work and interests.
Archer and l were roommates in Wichita, Kansas,
when he was beginning work as a newspaper reporter
and l was still in school. Since then he has been al,
over the world. For his honeymoon, he took his bride
to Athens, Greece, and lived there a couple of years.
He has lived in Constantinople. and likes 1t. He has
travelled through Russia and Turkey and the Balkan
states, and he has learned something wherever he has
gone.
The Archers picked up a little Russian boy in
Asia Minor, shortly after the close of the war. The
child was intelligent. of good ~parentage. but orphaned.
They adopted him, and now they are very proud and
fond Of their boy. who is in high school. This expert
ence of theirs contains food for a lot of thought.
Parenthood is an adventure, and a very astonish-
ing one. But imagine the adventure Of foster-parent-
hood, when your child is Of foreign parentage, inherit
ing much from ancestors whose culture is utterly alien
to anything you have ever known. There are possibili-
ties here, / should think, for experiences even more
engrossing than those that come to the average parent
in the course Of the unfolding of his own child's per-
sonality.
Foreign travel is broadening and educational If
the traveller has an open mind and an observing eye.
| rejoiced in the broadening and enlarging effects 50
evident in my friend Archer. Travel and experiences
haven't been wasted on him.
Yet ! have known a few globe-trotters and round
the-world cruisers who have apparently chased all over
the globe with their eyes shut. Or maybe just their
minds were closed. It's too bad that good shipping
space must be used up on that type Of traveller. when
there are so many at home who might learn alnog the
way.

Americas Big Market

Those who are prone to criticize the action taken
by the American government to suppress the recent
revolution in Mexico assert that the Imperialism" Of
the United States has brought upon this country the
hatred Of all Of Latin America. That this country is
the object Of considerable apprehension on the certain
radical elements in the Latin American countries can
not be denied. but those radical groups are a small
minority and WELD practically no influence outside
their small circle.
The business interests Of the Latin American have
not been influenced by the elamor Of the radical groups.
They are fully cognizant Of the fact that the threat of
Intervention by the United States is all that prevents
a recurrahce of the revolutionary period which up to
a few years ago proved a decided handicap to Latin
American progress and business expansion. They are
not antagonistc to the American policies; in fact. they
welcome the assurance Of political stability extended
by those policies.
During the years from 1910 to 1914 many of the
Lstin-American countries were in the throes Of political
uphcavals, and following the world war there has been
n general tendency toward stability in government in
practically all the republics, largely due to the influ-
ence the United States has exerted. II is interesting to
note that American imports from ~atin-Ameri last
year showed a gain over the pre-war period Of from
Zoe per cent in Cuba to AS per cent in Venezuela and
Colombia. Exports, however, showed a greater gain.
Cubans last year spent sl60 10000 for American goods
as compared with S63. 600 in 1914, and Central
America, in which the radical elements are reported to
be greatly ineensed over the action of the United States
in suppressing the Nicaraguan revolution, last year
purchased s7s,ooo,ooo worth of American goods as
compared with $4,000. 600 in 1914. American exports
20 Mexico last year amounted to sls5y oOO.O 600 and that
country spent only SIS, 100000 for American goods in
1914.
DR.. Julius Klein, director Of the United States
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Depart
ment Of Commerce, in an address Tuesday before the
foreign trade conference in New Orleans, asserted that
American trade with the countries Of the Gulf Of
lLexieo and the Caribbean Sea would reach a billion
IL ws.ks- y Hts-.r F..
that the 100000 inhabitants OF that region last year
purchased United States products valued at s60s. 600, 900,
or nearly Is per cent Of our total exports, compared
with $22b, 100000 or about 3 per cent Of our total ex-
ports during the five year period islo-i4.
What the United States has lost as a result of its
policies in the Latin republics is small in comparison
with the benefits which have accrued to those countries
and the United States through sterilization Of their
governments. The radical groups are small. and like
most groups of that kind are extremely vociferous. bat
the trade records prove beyond question that they
WELD little or no influence in the business affairs Of
the L~atin-Ameriean countries.

Aiding the Newcomers

The people of Donna have launched a program
which other cities Of the Valley should emulate-aid-
ing the newcomers who have purchased farm lands
to adjust themselves to cultural and irrigation prae-
tees in the Valley.
Professor Cowan, vocational agriculture instructor
in the Donna schools. has taken the leadership in this
movement. Newcomers to the Valley are invited to
attend classes which he holds one night of each week.
The entire evening is devoted TO study Of their prob
lens. They are instructed how and when to plant
their crops; how and when to irrigate; the varieties
best adapted to Valley soil and climatic conditions
subjects of utmost importance to the agricultural in
terests Of the Valley and with which the newcomer
must familiarize himself.
Mr.. Cowan's contract with the Donna school board
does not stipulate that he undertake this work. He is
doing IL because he realizes that the newcomer must
acquaint himself with the various phases Of Valley
agriculture; he is interested in their prosperity and
the prosperity of Donna, and is fully cogniZant of the
fact that every prosperous farmer Of the Donna COM
munity is an asset to the city, its schools and insti-
tutions Of every kind and character. He is a graduate
Of the A. & NJ. College, has devoted several years to
vocational agriculture in the Donna schools. is familiar
with every phase Of Valley agriculture, and his ad-
vice and assistance should prove invaluable to the
newcomers Of that section.
One Of the principal deterrents to Valley develop
ment has been the general apathy Of the Valley public
in regard to aiding the newcomers to familiarize them
selves with the proper methods to apply in making the
fertile soil Of the Valley produce prolifically. Very
few Of the newcomers have had previous experience
with irrigation or the production Of winter vegetables,
and many Of them never saw a cotton boil before COM
ing to this section. Regardless Of how successful they
have been "back North" they cannot expect to make
their farms produce maximum profits until they have
learned the proper methods. Lacking such instruction,
many Of them become discouraged. They know the
soil they till should produce politically; they cannot
understand why they should not produce the best
grades. Eventually they join that element who are
content to "let the world slide along.
The solution Of one Of the most complex prob
lens Of the Valley lies in aiding the newcomers to
inform themselves relative to proper cultural and irri-
CATION practices. Practically all Of them would take
advantage of such courses Of instruction as are now
being offered by the vocational agriculture department.
Of the Donna sehol, and the Valley communities could
make no better investment than to provide such cours-
es Of instruction.

Washington Letter
By CHARLES p. STEWART

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-To say
that the average politician, with a
campaign coming on, wants the sub
Jet Of prohibition left strictly alone,
surely can't be interpreted as i'm
plying bias c~her way. Everybody
must have noticed it.
That being agreed, I do say so.
The average politician is as afraid of
the subject Of prohibition as he is
Of smallpox.
All politicians aren't average. A
few are dead sure their constitu-
encies are wet. They're manful
vets. A few are dead sure theirs
are dry. They're ourageo drys.
About rs per cent are doubtful.
When anybody mentions prohibition,
their reactions are the same as the
reactions Of a man who can't swim
when some crazy dub rocks the boat.
Imagine the average politicians
feelings, then, when Seymour Low
man took over Dry Gar Andrews
job some time ago, and Immediately
set up a loud prohibition cackle.
which the press proceeded to broad
cast for all il was worth.
Lowman's superiors hastily begged
him to be more discreet. Lowman
talked on. His superiors warned him
in stronger terms. Lowman only got
worse. He's one of those chatty
people who can't stop.
SO finally they gagged him. They
forbade him TO refer TO prohibition,
wrtk1fa1v - nwtx~otl- It-o.l. - A.
directly. in writing or by word Of
mouth. to answer a question, to utter
n word-on that subject. "If you
must talk" they said. rather rudely,
"talk about something else"
Now we turn TO the subject OF the
tariff row between this country and
France.
France. II will be recalled, recently
boosted her duties on certain goods
she'd previously been importing from
rs. 1t was an evident jab 1T Amer
lea, for we were the only folks the
increase applied to. IL amounted 10
an invitation to ENGLAND, Germany
and others 10 compete US out Of the
French market.
The state department protested TO
the Paris government.
"If you'll make some tariff reduc-
tons for our benefit" rejoined the
Paris government. "we1l make some
Of yours. We believe in reciprocity,
MI right"
"Much to our regret" explained
the state department, "the American
tariff system doesn't hermit reciproc-
itv. We treat all alike"
That was the nub of our argument
"We can't ~reciprocate under our law
we treat all alike" If the French
could punch any holes in that propo-
