(Terre Haute, Ind., Star.) The Rt. Rev. Charles Henry Brent, for 11 years Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Philippines, a man of great Intelligence, adds his voice to the chorus of those who protest against the democratic policy of granting early independence to the Filipinos. Whether or not we erred In assuming the responsibility for the Islands, the fact remains, he says, that upon the wisdom or unwisdom of the American course depends the fate of 9,000,000 Filipinos. He adds: "The Philippines today enjoy a measure of self-government hitherto unknown to dependencies save in the Anglo-Saxon overseas dominions of Great Britain, and the responsibility of America Is to further the progress of self-government to the utmost of her ability and the Filipino's capacity." It is not the clamor for independence on the part of Filipinos which should be the signal for our withdrawal from the Islands, he declares; only their achievements can determine their ability for Belf-government. Let us proceed from facts to theory, and the facts are to be had for the asking. He recommends a severely nonpolitical commission to investigate the situation, but his own belief is that independence as at present, and for a long time to come, out of the question unless we are willing to leave the islands to' go to predition in their own ways. The bishop goes into the subject in considerable detail and offers a statesmanlike document that should receive attention in official quarters. All the testimony of men who are well informed on the subject is to the effect that the time is yet far distant when the people of the islands can be left to their own devices with safety to themselves or without shame to ourselves for abandoning them prematurely. MAKING BUTTER CHEAPER. (Ft. Wayne, Ind., News.) The proposal of the tariff tinkers to lower the price of butter for the dear peepul by removing the duty is one of those manifest absurdities that try the patience of our Jobs. For it remains in evidence that the "price of butter is high the world over and that the removal of the tariff would affect it in nowise. If congress really wishes to do something to make butter cheaper in this country of ours, let it remove those unjust and absurd restrictions that are thrown about the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, handicaps that were placed upon it by the Elgin butter trust in the politically sanctioned and holy name of the honest farmer. The only restrictions that should be placed upon the manufacturers of oleomargarine should be the maintenance of the wholesomeness of the product and a proper labeling of it. If this were the case millions of people would use it who today shun it because of its color and an unwarranted prejudice created by an unfair federal proscription. Health authorities the world over assure us that oleomargarine, properly made, is more wholesome than butter and that it is fully as palatable is proved by the fact that dealers are obliged to label it in order to prevent them from selling it as butter. Then the oleomargarine is freed from the trust shackles which it wears today the butter problem will be speedily solved. But until that time comes butter is going to be too expensive for many people to use.

Admiral Mahan's View. ; Admiral A. T. Mahan, U. S.'N., retired, probably the world's greatest naval authority, has submitted a very interesting; lettei to the New York Sun touching on the Japanese question and bearing out the statement recently made by this paper v that Japan's impoverished condition is no guarantee that that nation would not engage in hostilities with the United States. Admiral Mahar. emphasizes the fact that the people, not governments, make war, and as an example that the Japanese government is not superior Jo the Japanese people he cites the recent Japanese cabinet downfall, brought about by public demonstrations. This interesting Mahan letter is reproduced: To the Editor of The Sun Sir: Your editorial article "Japan's Need of Peace" is entirely convincing as to the material factors which must make the Japanese Government reluctant to war. But is sufficient account taken of the compulsion of popular feeling upon the most unwilling Government when aroused by conditions which are regarded as involving insult or injury or both? And this when coupled with the well understood exposure to attack of the Pacific interests of the United States for a measurable future? It remains to be seen how far the Japanese Government, as contrasted with that of other nations, is still in our day able to control a strong popular impulse. If I have rightly understood the downfall of the recent Katsura Ministry and the briefness of its tenure of office were due chiefly to that form of agitation which is usually taken to represent popular movement. In enumerating the onerous conditions and crushing taxation of the agricultural classes in Japan, as the editorial article does, has it occurred to The Sun that the contrasted conditions of our scantily populated Pacific coast must represent a paradise to the people thus burdened, who certainly have shown no slight readiness to emigrate thither when permitted? There cannot but be widespread resentment at an exclusion which Is regarded -by them as essentially unjast and as also invidious because construed to imply a claim of superiority on our part. It seems to me that these several circumstances do constitute a menacing combination which it will be unwise to depreciate in the general estimation of Americans. Personally I am satisfied that considerations of high national necessity Justify the objection of our people to the introduction of a race element which from its very force and fibre, coupled with a very long tradition of ideals and characteristics alien to our own, cannot be assimilated. If they were essentially inferior they might be manageable, as is the negro. The root of the trouble lies not in any inferiority, but In their strength and In the ingrained essential differentiation which that strength will perpetuate. New York, May 5. A. T. MAHAN.

DEBATE IS STARTED In the Senate on the Sundry Civil Measure. (National News Association) WASHINGTON, May 7. Debate on the sundry civil bill was the principal business before the senate today. Discussion of this bill revolves around the clause which calls for exemption of farmers organizations and labor unions from prosecution under the anti trust act. This was the cause of the veto of the same bill by President Taft at the last session of congress. The debate today was more or less non par tisan in complexion: Aligned on the one side were senators like Hughes of New Jersey whose interests were frankly laborite and on the other side members of the uper house who were inclined to Bide with Senator Gronna of North Dakota in holding that the labor and farmer provision of the bill should be amended to exempt both classes from prosecution only so long as they do not conspire to raise the price of food or to tie up interstate commerce with demands for concessions at the hands of the employers.

M0RRISE1MS GUILTY Of Involuntary Manslaughter of Frances Ter Goest.

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 7. Will liam Morrisey, who shot and killed Miss Frances Ter Goest, aged 16, on March 27, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in criminal court today. He was immediately sentenced from two to twenty-one years in the reformatory at Jeffersonville. Attorneys for Morrisey argued that the state had- not proved that the shooting was not accidental and also had failed to show that the defendant had any motives for killing the girl. Morrisey, who is an orphan, had lived with the girl's family several years. He testified that he looked upon the slain girl only as a sister but was generally thought to be in in love with her. .

For several years there has been a growing tendency toward non-partisanship in the municipal governments in this and other states. This is a healthy and hopeful sign. While we must of necessity have political parties to champion the issues of representative government, yet when it comes to municipal campaigns the ever increasing spirit of independence should be regarded as a wholesome indication that the people of all parties are becoming more and more concerned about the capacity and integrity of the candidates than they are about so-called party platforms. It is well to remember, however, that before this independent sentiment can be crjstalized into concrete form for practical results, it must be properly directed and sensibly organized. Unless this is done the results will be simply a merging of divided, unorganized forces without chart or compass, amenable to no organization and the champion of no well defined principles. In a representative form of governI ment like ours, political parties are necessary. Needed reforms in our political life must be brought about through individuals acting independently. Thus it is that "nonpartisanship through a political party" is a paradox which offers a solution to our diversified municipal problems. The expression thus used is not contradictory as would first appear, but simply implies the elimination of state and national issues from municipal campaigns and the conducting of those campaigns wholly upon local issues and the integrity and efficiency of the men seeking office. This is strictly in accordance with the Progressive party Idea as applied to a commissioned form of government for cities. Thus it is that the Progressive party offers a practical solution to this much mooted question. It invites the independent voters of all parties who feel the need of the elimination of machine domination from city elections to join with it in conductng a campaign wholly on local issues championed by men who are free from machine domination and whose ability : and integrity is such as will commend MAKES TENDER FEET STRONG AND VIGOROUS Rub on EZO and P&in and Misery Vanish If EZO doesn't make your tired, weary feet feel good and comfortable, your money back.

the into the confidence of men of aU political affiliations. In the recent session of the state legislature the Progressives Introduced a bill providing for such commissioned form of city government. It was

j defeated however, by those who desir ed to continue their power and political advantage through the municipal government. The Progressive party affords the best opportunity for the union of such forces seek to deprive the political boss and his henchmen from their power, and place the local gov ernment in the hands of men of recognized capacity and unquestioned integrity. The demand for "citizen's" or independent" tickets, therefore, can be best supplied through a political party ; which is committed to the very princi- : pies which purport to make the local government more representative and which will remove much of the parti- , sonship incident to state and national campaigns.
