Philippine Autonomy. Sach legislation as has been passed under the new regime was chiefly confined to the task of evicting Europeans and Amer cans from the civil service of the islands by the simple expedient of reducing salaries and in this way orening, the positions to Filipinos only. In some in- stances this policy has been commendable and real economies have been effected with but" alight loss in efficiency of the offices placed under all Filipino control. More often, however governmental or executive bar eaus have been deprived of their American chiefe of long experi ence and these positions of mementous importance assigned to Filipinos whose desire for offi. olal power largely outbalances their competency to safely con- duct these offices. Affairs will go on safely for a time as balore, because the beaten track left by earlier administrations is wide, and deep and easy to follow, but to those acquainted with the mix- ed motives, the discordant ele, men's, and the inherent thirst for power in the Filipino people, the gravity of the situation-leaving aaide the question of ultimate independence and considering only the question of "political competency to safely administer the tremendous powers already in the hands of the Filipinos- cannot be exaggerated.

so many people who feel no tinge of regret apparently as they pro- cood to effect their nefarious purposes. That public opinion is against this heinous crime is certain; yet
there must be hundreds and perhaps thousands of unprincipled men, for the sake of a few paltry dollare, carry on kidnapping regularly and callously. It as to be hoped that the three men who have been arrested red-handed, so to speak, will be dealt with severely. But behind it it is clear that there is the necessity for a higher standard of morals, and how to get this standard accepted and doted upon is a problem, which is difioult
It to handle.
