Carmi Thompson of the Philippine Islands, they do not need independence nearly as much as they need sanitation. The conditions there are out- lined as disgraceful and truly the detailed descrip- tion of them bears out that contention, The fault lies with the American administration for not pro- viding the governor-gencral of the islands with suf- ficient staff with which to enforce proper sanitary | ; Foreign Representatives ° codes. } HJ G.

The President’s Stand Tec, President Coolidge has taken the proper stand when he states to the press, in answer to que: that he has no intention of recommending the immedi- ate freedom of the Philippine Islands. The president Gk, do all thinking people since the present sur- ‘Manila gang,” intent on completely looting the island, is energetically preparing propaganda that will result infthoir gaining brief control of the situation. If they can but gain control they will then be free to plunder to their hearts’ content. President Coolidge sees through this situation,! hoWever, and there is no doubt that when he receives the full report of Colonel Thompson, he will recom- mend that no independence be granted for a lon period of years. The Awakening And now Mr, Deets Pickett, secretary of the Methodist board of prohibition and public morals, announces that the modern girl isn’t as bad as she has been painted. (That pun is unintentional.) ‘There's good in her, he says, even if she does wear short skirts andjput rouge on her cheeks and smoke cigarets. Furthermore, she doesn’t do those things quite so much as she did a few years ago. Well, it’s a relief to have a statement on that | subject by an authority anyhow. Only—one won- ders why it took him so long to find it out. We've known it all the time. vey by Col, Carmi Thompson began, that the We Are the First Just to be the first to tell you about it this year, here is a bit of advice—“Do your Christmas shop- ping early.” Perhaps it seems untimely. Look at your calen- dar. Cuunt the days. You'll find there are about 100 more shopping days before Christmas. How is that for a startling picce of information? Of course it isn’t really quite time to do your Christmas shopping. But it's time to start plan- ning for your Christmas shopping. That's what usually makes you late—you start planning when you should start shopping. And then, when you are ready to shop, you should be through. It isn’t too early to start on the home-made things. Perhaps you'll have to get monogram patterns for handkerchiefs. ‘Then, there's all the cross-stitching to be done. > The Paris-London Crash The wreck of the Paris-London airplane on the Kent: coast with the loss of two lives and many in- jured is much to be regretted. For a long time, now, these Paris-London air routes have been op- erating with a larger factor of safety than many Hind railroads, despite the fact that airplanes were used. This record has fostered a great deal of con- fidence in the route and the traffic has beeome heavy enough so that it is practically a paying proposi- tion. , This accident will affect business to some extent. Phere can be no doubt of that. The air is as yet auch a new vehicle lane that every accident to some éxtent destroys the confidence of the traveling ublic. = But not for long, let us hope. ‘The air presents the big development of the future and sooner or Thter the traveling public must become reconciled to that fact and accidents will no more deter them than do the many that occur on American railways .Zearly discourage rail travel.

Tribute is to be rendered to The Law's Legality™ Verily, the ways of the law are past all human wnderstanding. , Minois’ primary law has been declared unconsti @utional. This is going to cause a whole lot of trouble; but certain gentlemen are highly tickled. During the last month, you see, upwards of a hun- dred Chica, s were indicted for doing things they Shouldn't have in connection with the primary.
