By recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States the punishment imposed by in force in the Philippine Islands for the falsification of a public document is declared to be cruel and annual. The penalty imposed by existing law for this crime is out of proper
magnitude of the crime and the penalties imposed for other similar crimes. It is recommended that an amenimout be made to thepeal code modifying the penalty in those cases, as tho decision of the Supreme Court may have the result of liberaling certain

In the trapies there is the additional risk of the loss of health, and a great many valuable American employez have left the Philippine service because of the fact they feared, after 12, 16, or 20 years of faithful service, they would go back and find they were untied for the kind of work which remained for them to do in the homeland. The cost of living here is much that very few people are able to save much money from their splurias, and the result is that maoy men are willing to accept a
