FIL|PINOS HELD
UNFIT TO RULE

Secretary Stimson estimated
that the Filipino people will re-
quire at least 30 years to fit
themselves for independence, in
testimony before the Senate Ter
ritories and Insular Committee
yesterday.
The estimate was based upon
the view that the Filipinos must
develop much larger revenues
than now available TO support
an independent government and
that the interests of American
investors in Philippine lands must
be safeguarded.
The Secretary advocated con-
tinuance of the Jones organic
act and a declaration by Con.
gress that free trade relations
would not be disturbed. In turn
he thought the United States
might fairly ask the Philippine
legislature to assure a larger
percentage of the Islands trade
and to restrict the migration
Of Filipino laborers to mainland
United States. He considered
the Filipino laborers necessary
for Hawaii.
Secretary Stimson held that
immediate independence would re-
suit "either in a condition of
anarchy or an oligarchy in which
a small group would control"

Good-by, Manufacturers

That the crundy tariff bill would reach into the
pocket Of the American consumer and take out
thousand million dollars year is not news But
that this bill will take lot of manufacturers them
selves for ride is one OF these little secrets which
some factory owners may discover too late.
Unlike the orthodox high tariff bills Of old, which
robbed the farmer and city worker to initiate prohs
OF manufacturers, the farmers, to get even' nave
forced raw material tariffs into this bill That won't
help the farmers, but it may give them laugh at the
expense Of the manufacturers.
For this tariff monstrosity is enough to bring
bact the ghost of Alexander Hamilton and the
fathers Of protection to haunt the present tariff
makers Did not Hamilton warn them that tarlf1
on raw materials is a tax manufacturers?
Has not Henry Ford warned them that this bill
carries increases Of 800 separate articles and material
necessary to the manufacture Of an automobile?
Has not the steel industry-the darling Of all
protective tards-been loaded by this bill with in
creases on dozens of its raw materials, such as
tungsten ferro-alloys and manganese?
The tanning industry has fifteen raw materials
10 buy of which fourteen are increased by this bill
This industry is sick already. What will happen to it
next year?
Most of the raw materials Of the coated-p paper in
clstry, already in bad way, carry heavy increases
under this bill That includes casein, china clay, pig
ments. starches.
Linoleum manufacturers will have to pay more for
all their major materals-wool rags cork, inseed oil,
pigments jute.
More than 80 per cent of the materials OF shoe
manufacturers are increased.
Lead pencil factories will have to pay more for
every one of their fifteen raw materials.
The soft drink manufacturer is hit by increases on
seventy different materials he must use.
Some manufacturers in some industries, Of course,
can pass on their full increased cost to the consumer,
and some can add an extra increase for good measure
Thus the steel industry not apt to suffer at first
not at any rate until the increased costs which 1t
masses on to the building industry forces construc-
ton depression.
But there are many industries producing adver-
Used products at fixed price which not pass on
their increased costs from this tariff bill to the con-
smer Tt is not easy to raise the retail price OF such
things as lead pencils or soft drinks.
Even Henry Ford and the manufacturers in the
strongest industries of the country such as automo-
bes may not be able to pass this raw material tariff
tax on to the public.
For two good reasons, the manufacturers OF the
country are going to have hard time if this bill be-
comes law One reason is this is period of falling
world commodity prices. The other reason is that
America is in an economic depression, and higher
Yrices will kill business instead of reviving it.
Perhaps it is only just that the bill which oleeoS
the farmers and the city consumers should injure the
manufacturers also, if they don't know IL nov"
But what howl there will be when they wake up

Parker Is Rejected

There is only one issue in the struggle today be-
tween the President and the senate over confirmation
of John j. Parker for the supreme court.
1t is not the fitness of Parker That issue has been
decided by the American people in their only way OF
sneaking between elections-through the press and
through direct pressure upon the President and the
senate In the most sweeping condemnation ever
vented upon presidential appointment for the court
IN this generation public opinion has declared Parker
unfit
The issue is not whether the senate conscientously
and freey can confirm Parker. That answer is known
The senate opposes Parker as unfit. Under the Con-
stitution the President obtain not only the con-
sent but the advice of the senate. Both officially and
unoficially, the senate has advised the President
against his nomination
The only official method by which the senate can
state its advice through its representative judiciary
committee That committee afer thorough investiga-
ton voted against Parker 10 to g. Unofcially many
senator's including the Republican party leaders have
Informed the President of the senates opposition.
Therefore, only issue remains That Is
whether partisan political pressure force certain
senators to vote for Parker against the will of their
constituents and against their convictions The
result will be determined by about ten Republican
senator's who already have voted against Parker in
committee or voiced their opposition in private.
Can the supreme court be stacked by political pres
sure? Let the senate answer.

send a Southerner to the supreme
court.
I'll almit that I would not select
John j. Parker, because, even
though there were nothing against
him, the fact still remains that
there is nothing in particular for
him.
I could find a sage southerner and
say to him, How about taking a job
on the supreme court2 I know, of
course, that you don't believe in the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments and do, but 1 realize that
they can't be enforced throughout
the south without landing United
States marines to restore order, and
I'm against that.
Fortunately, you are also against
the eighteenth amendment, which
can't be inforced, either. You can
go on the supreme bench with a
clear conscience. You don't believe
in trying to enforce the unenforce-

COONER or later, complete en-
- REIMBURSEMENT must be given to
the Negro in America. 1t is still
true that no land can long endure
half slave and half free and no
man is free when the ballot is de-
MED to him.
But if I were a candidate for high
executive office, or judicial office,
would say, even without being
cornered, that I would not now
sanction the effort to enforce the
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution Of the
United States.
I believe in the purpose for which
they were formulated, but We must
face the fact that in the year 1880
they can not be put universally into
practice except through coercion
and the use of armed force.
And coercion and armed force
have never won victory of any
lasting moment since the world
began. An ounce of conviction is
worth ten tons Of coercion. The
only way political discrimination
against the Negro can be removed
is by the process Of education.
Unfortunately, that is a slow
process. But the faster ones just
won't do the trick.
1t may be said, indeed it has been
said, that if Judge Parker is turned
down on the Negro issue, it will be
impossible to nominate any other
southerner to the supreme bench.
That may be true, and such a con-
dition seems unjust.

Lost: 100000 Years

1t takes cold figures to make one realize the i'm
portance of cutting down Americas annual toll of
accidents.
Figures issued by the Travellers Insurance Company
show that American adults last year lost just one
and one-haf million years because of accidents.
These years were lost a result Of occupational
accidents on the one hand, and traffic and home acct
dents on the other. The traffic accidents alone
represented monetary loss of sSOOOOOoOOO and the
other accidents would prove fully as expensive
Those figures hardly seem reasonable yet inSur-

Citizens or Wooden Soldiers

Do want citizens who will reason or robots
Who will obey mechanically? This question is brought
out sharply by the citizenship case of the Rev.
T. F. King.
King was born British citizen. During the World
war he served three years with the British army
He went through fifteen months of he'll with the ILL
fated Salonika expedition.
After the war he came to America as a Methodist
preacher. He settled with parish in Lake Arthur
La. He decided that he would like to become an
American citizen So he went before the federal dis
trict judge. The following dialog took place.
Judge-Supposng the United States engaged in
a war that you considered wrong What would be
your attitudeP
Answer would consider it my duty to defend
democracy.
Judge-But supposing to take concrete case,
California wanted territory and desired to seize
in Mexico, and every man was drafted for some
form of service; would you object or be loyal?
Answer do not believe the United States would
engage in such a.war.
JUDGE do not want any conditions Under such
circumstances, of aggression would you object?
Answer-In all probability would. I first would
have to consider my duty to God and humanity.
Judge-In other words, you can not subscribe under
any and every condition to the doctrine, my country
right wrong2
AnsWer-No
Judge-Then you can not be admitted. What we
want citizens who prepared to say, MY coun
try, right or wrong but my country"
There is no beating about the bush here The
judge carries the against the pacists step
farther than the case of the Rev. DR.. Mcintosh Of
Yale. King willing to swear to protect the
Constitution and laws of country by force if
necessary He refused, however, to agree in advance
to support admitted war of aggression. He was
asked to suppress the dictates of his conscience and
he refused.
This case is typical of what has been happening
and what is going to happen. Applicants of the high
est character worth citizens are barred Clearly
this is sef-defeating policy, and just clearly it
was not the intent Of congress in passing the natural
ization law.
That law has been perverted by the labor depart
nent in its naturalization regulations Under these
regulations the courts take advantage Of their power
to bar men of conscience.
To correct this situation and get back to the spirit
of the Constitution the Griffin bill has been intro
dced in congress 1t would clarity the law and pre-
vent the ban of otherwise desirable citizens who
decline for conscientious reasons to in advance
to bear
AS Justice Holmes Of the supreme court remarked
in the famous Schwimmer case, it has not been sup
posed that followers Of Jesus make undesirable
citizens.

SIEGE OF LIMERICK
April 20

I'm April %. 1890, william III
~ of England was obliged to end
his long siege Of Limerick, an i'm
portant river port near Dublin, Ire
land.
The following year, however, an
other Englishman, Ginkel, conduct
ed more vigorous campaign
against the Irish stronghold After
a brilliant defense of several weeks
an armistice was proposed which
led to the well-known treaty Of
Limerick. The terms Of the treaty
granted amnesty. liberty and other
privileges to the Irish Catholics and
permission to volunteer in the
French service.
The Irish parliament later in
sisted that the English ignored the
terms Of the treaty. The alleged vio-
lation of the treaty has been the
subject Of frequent and bitter con-
troversy between political parties
in Ireland. Because OF this, Linn
eriek became known as 1.-THE City Of
the Violated Treaty..
The limerick, as applied to a
peculiar form of nonsense verse, is
thought to have originated with an
Irish brigade which was organized
in Limerick in 1861 for service in
the French army.
When the men returned from for
eign service they sang and recited
the rhymes now known as the linn
erick.

Muscles Not Used to Best Advantage

age sprinter incurS an oxygen debt
at the rate of 13-horse power while
turning out mechanical work at the
rate of 2.95-horse power. His eff

In arriving at this efficiency, he
has to work against gravity equiva-

velocity and acceleration and de-

Obviously it should be possible by
studies of this sort to develop better
function Of muscle tissues planned
not so much for increasing the speed
of sprinters as for permitting man
in general to use his muscle to bet
