SOMEONE'S WORKING

From the looks of the water-logged wood and debris piled on the shore of the swimming hole, it looks as though someone has taken it upon himself to clear the lake of it's waste. Possibly the Devil, in his desire to receive dismissal from the blazing fernament wherein he has been sen- tenced, came to do homage to man, that he might receive parole. Any way, it shows that someone is doing his share in helping to make Harri- man Lake better fit for swimmers.

AN OASIS IN THE DESERT
 0F THE COMMONPLACE:

Motion pictures sometimes take on the analogy of banning gold-much material must be sifted and separated to find the elusive nugget. This com parison might justly be made with re- spect to the film now showing at the Liberty theatre, "Clothes Make the Pirate" It comes as an oasis in the desert of commonplace productions with their rethreshed material of love, tragedy and scandal, in that it en- bodies excrutiatingly grotesque and ingredients with quaint and historical background of scene and speech.
 Such films are inspiring nj that they help banish the serious matters of the day and give everyone a chance to indulge riot of laughter and care free romping with the actors through out the entire unraveling of the au- thor's plot. 1.

Stimson Goes to the Philippines

Col. Henry Lewis Stimson, secretary of war under
President Taft and lately special envoy of President
Coolidge to Nicaragua, late yesterday was appointed
governor general of the Philippine Islands
The appointment came as something of sur
prise 1t had been understood that Colonel Stinson
did not choose to go to Manila But the President,
keeping his counsel as has become his habit in
such matters, to have prevailed on the colonel
to change his mind and to the Philippines he goes
Colonel Stimson is go. He was born in New York
State. He is lawyer and friend of the late Gen.
Leonard Wood, whom he succeeds. In fact, he is
another Wood, though younger, able beyond doubt
and a man who knows his own mind pretty well
So far the Philippines are concerned, the new
governor general is fundamentals. He believes
implicitly in the original Senate resolution of ST. VAL
entines day. Feb TO- 1885, when we ratified the treaty
with Spain and took over the islands.
ut is not intended" said that resolution, "to
incorporate the inhabitants of the Philippine
Islands into citizenship of the United States nor
is 1t intended to permanently annex said islands
integral part of the territory of the United
States but it is the intention of the United States
to establish on said islands government suit
able to the wants and conditions of the inhabi-
tants of said islands. to prepare them for local
self-government and in due time to make such
disposition Of said islands as will best promote
the interests of the citizens of the United States
and the inhabitants of said islands"
On that Colonel Stimson stands with both feet.
He interprets it to mean that no promise of indie
pendence has been made but, to the contrary, he
says 1t points clearly in the direction Of "a self
governing colony than anything else"
just how the Filpinos will receive the appointment
remains to be Seen True, President Manuel Quezon
of the Philippines senate, Senator Sergio Osmena
and other Filipino leaders have expressed the belief
that he will not only be acceptable but that the
tive legisature-which went strike against Cover
nor General Wood-will cooperate with him. But
that is something else which only the future can de-
cide Certainly the views of the Filipinos who de-
mand complete independence and Colonel stirAson,
who believes in a permanent Philippine colony do
not entirely coincide.
This newspaper, however, expresses the twin hopes
that Colonel Stmson will have the necessary tact to
get along with the FilipinoS and that the Fipinos
will have the adaptabty to get along with Colonel
Stimson-even if the governor general, on the one
hand, and the people, the other, see the islands
future in different light.
Ultimately the Philippine problem will be settled,
but in the meantime it only work injury to the
islands and their people for the American and native
officials to be at loggerheads.

very midst of war, to show its futile
bestiality; brave enough to show
the Greeks, to the Greeks, as bar
barous in victory, and their enemies
as noble in defeat.
And it is so in every field; the
courage of Euripides filings itself
against every idol, and makes all the
world his enemy.
AS he denounces war, so he de-
nounces slavery; and at a time
when the philosophers dare not
speak i'll of it, he shows the slaves
as often finer than the master, and
puts into the mouths of slaves, as
if anticipating Epictetus, some Of
his profoundest philosophy.
But more. There is a subject on
which men talk lengthily, but fear
to speak; it is woman, to whom
legend ascribes the beginning Of
evil, and to whom gallantry at
tributes the origil of every good.
EllripideS does not hesitate to
speak his own mind on both sides;
and in no trimming fashion tenn
pered to every wind of praise, but
recklessly, as not fearing man, nor
woman either. Hear Hippolytus on
Eve:
20 God, why hast thou made this
cleaning snare,
Woman, to dog us on this happy
earth?
Was it thy will to make Man,
why his birth
Through Love and Woman?..
How, is that daughter not bane
confessed
Whom her own sire sends forth
Gle knows her bestD-
And, will some man but take her,
pays a dover!
And he, poor fool, takes home the
poison flower;
Laughs to hang Jewels on the
deadly thing .-
He joys in; labors for her. robe
wearing,
Till wealth and peace are dead.
He snarts the less
In whose high seat is set a
Nothingness,
A woman naught availing. Worst
of all
The wise deep-thoughted!"
And yet it was this same Euripides
who provoked the taunts Of Aris-
tophanes by condemning the seclu-
sion Of woman in Greece, and sup
porting the rebellion Of hetairai;
this same Euripides who, in play
after play, showed the world from
the standpoint of suffering women.

Hear His Message

Nicholas Murray Butler, educator and student,
will be in this city tonight and will talk upon inter-
national affairs.
The lecture will be given at the Columbia Club
but will be under the auspices of organization that
is SO sincerely devoted to the betterment of relations
between nations that those who attend may be as
sured that it is no partisan gathering.
The position of DR.. Butler public questions
has always been independent and forcefu. Even
those who disagree know that he has the courage
that comes only from sincerity.
He has never hesitated to champion unpopular
causes when he believed them right.
This is so rare especially among men who have
been mentioned possibilities for the presidency,
that those who take any interest in the serious side
of Government should hear him.

Too Many Make Trouble

The United States made an ex-
cellent beginning in the right
direction by the appointment of
such a man as Dwight w. Nor
row as Ambassador to Mexico,
and the good work he already has
accomplished is not only illus
trated, but confirmed by Colonel
Lindbergh's visit.
Too many Americans have gone
to Mexico with the idea Of making
money, trouble or run. Morrow
and Lindbergh are Of a different
type. That explains the good
effect Of their presence.
Mexico is just as quick as any
other country TO recognize and
appreciate the best we can offer.
So, too, she is just as quick to
resent the worst.
Relations between the two Coun-
tries have been disrupted by
nothing SO much as the kind of
people passing from one to the
other.
In nine cases out OF ten, IL is
the peon who comes north and
the exploiter, who goes south.
In too few instances is either
country given an opportunity to
get acquainted with the others

Gales as Gentleman

Under such circumstances, why
should not the ordinary thief and
forger try their hands?
If governments set such high
value on information about each
other, why not steal little of it
for them, and if there is not
enough to steal, why not man
ufacture some?
Gales gets q batch of thieved or
forged documents from the Ameri-
can embassy and Hearst gets q
batch from Mexico.
Gales returned those which
came into his hands like gentle
man, while Hearst gave those he
received wide publicity, with the
implication that Mexico had not
only given financial assistance to
about every faction unfriendly to
this Government throughout the
world, but actually bribed four
United States Senators.

Indy Effective Envoy

Colonel Lindbergh typifleS the
American idea of a real man.
His welcome shows that the
Mexican idea is about like ours.
1t would help a lot if both coun-
tries could be made to understand
that they are not so very far
apart in their conceptions Of
honor, ability and virtue.
Gossip teaches that these con-
ceptions end at the frontier, that
there is something peculiar in the
character of each nation which
makes it different from that Of
others.
Gossip is measurably responsible
for the institution of secret diplo-
macy and the criminal practices
which have grown up around 1t.
Gossip as practiced in the
capitals and financial centers Of
the world plays about the same
part in international life as it
plays in neighborhood life when

What Other Editors Think

efforts were made TO interest serv-
ice men in this cause. Every vet-'
eran should check carefully to
make sure that he has filed his
application. Wives of veterans
and members of their family
should insist that the application
be made before New Years. The
payment of these certificates as
insurance on the death Of a vet
eran has been q boon to many a
family. It has enabled them to
escape worry and anxiety in the
period of adjustment after a vet
Grams death. Not only he, but his
whole family should be interested
in seeing that he files his applica-
ton. A paid up twenty-year en-
dowment insurance policy with an
approximate value of $1,000 is a
Christmas gift that should not be

Indiana alone the efforts Of the
Legion to interest men in the

SnooperS of Diplomacy

Diplomacy is somewhat to
blame. Its pretense at mystery
gives the thief and forget their cue.
The world has built UP a sort
of official spy system, the real
meaning of which is not realized
because of the respectable atmos-
phere surrounding it.
That is what it is, however, to
a large extent.
In the main, ambassadors, min
listers and consuls have been re-
garded as high-grade shoppers,
whose worth rested largely on
what they could find out and re-
port that the other government
did not want known.
Every chancellory in the civil
liked world can change papers and
documents which do not rightfully
belong to it and the possession of
which it would complacently lie
about rather than admit.
