In the interlocutory proceedings held February 10, Virginia Avenue Masons vs. The Grand Lodge (incorporated), the Court decided that the Virginia Av- enue Faction had filed imperfect bill, and gave them a chance to frame another ten days from date. The Nine- teenth Street Masons entered a demur- rer against the cross bill, and was sus- tained by the Court. The Court also an stated that the Court was unable to ig- : nore an incorporated body. A reception was given the of the C. M. E. Church and the A. M. E. Church at Metropolitan Church, M street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets northwest, last Thursday.

Nobody hearing him could doubt the sincerity of his words, the honesty of his belief. When the Philippine assembly chose as its presiding officer and guiding spirit this able young representative from Cebu it unquestionably advanced ANNIVERSA-| the Filipine cause in the eyes of those Americans most sincerely hopeful for that better understanding between Fil- ipinos and Americans so essential to the preper working out of the pro- gram for a steadily increasing meas- ure of self-government, which has been set forth in every official declara- tion of the American government since the islands were taken over by the terms of the treaty of Paris. The assembly is still in the forma- tive stage. It is acknowledged on | a i, = SEHIP DOV SD60 OLLTL &ll sides, however, that so far it has done well. When the body first met it was found that the members were, | intelli- | almost to a man, young and gent. This made a good impression. Then followed the selection of Senor Osmena to the speakership, and this caused assembly stock to rise very perceptibly, for Senor Osmena has been tried in responsible and diffi- cult posts and has thoroughly made good. “He is the best man of his people,” taid Gen, “Jack” Weston, command- ing general of the department of Lu- zon. “He possesses a very high de- gree of intelligence, and he has some- thing more. This is that quality which may be called imperturbability ~—the quality that makes the most suc- ssful generals. Take, to illustrate, Japan’s success over Russia. The men who were at the head of Japan’s armies were the imperturbable men. Doubtless they had under them, per- haps immediately at their elbows, men more brilliant, but it was the imper- turbable men who held the supreme commands and to whom the successes were due. They were like the men who came to the front and stayed to the front in our own civil war. It is because he possesses this quality of imperturbability in a high degree that 1 have the greatest faith in Speaker Osmena.” The same sort of indorsement of *he Filipino speaker is heard on all sides. A young man, still under 30, he was a highly successful prosecuting officer in Cebu, and after that a highly successful governor of his province. He is not a “politico.” It was with difficulty that he could be induced to become a candidate for the assembly. His candidacy for the speakership was in no sense his own. He is an intense patriot, and, what is more, a practical man. His own people believe in him, and so do the Americans. The responsibility of his present position was hardly realized by either Americans or Filipinos until Secretary Taft made it clear that in the civil government of the Philippines the speakership is a post second only to that of the governor general, It is too early to say what the Phil- ippines assembly will do. There is some disposition on the part of Amer- icar critics to laugh at, as impracti- cal, some of the bills that have been introduced. These critics have had no experience with the legislation of our own states or about the halls of congress. lt is probable that in any state legislature or any session of congress there are introduced larger percentage of “freak” bills than ' have yet appeared in the n assembly. This can be said: There will be no “freak” legislation so long as Speaker Osmena is able to control the situation, and se far his influence has been all powerful.
