Bishop Brent, for years bishop in the Philippines, has only recently returned to this country. In his address before the institute a few days ago he said, speaking of the American policy in those islands: "There are two criticisms to be made of the last administration in Washington. The first is, that whereas all appointments to Philippine offices had formerly been made without regard to American politics, after 1913 the partisan line was sharply drawn. The second is, that whereas men of real leadership had always before been sent to high office there, in recent years the men sent have been of the kind who were content merely to find out what the Filipinos want and give them their desire." The distressful financial conditions their country for commercial profit. The United States alone has evidenced a willingness to help the starving Russian out of their present predicament. It is only a matter of time when the soviet government in Russia will be replaced by a more enlightened and republican form of administration. The people who are going to experience the blessings of American relief will have a hand in bringing about that political change, and will not be slow to let their compatriots know of their grateful feeling toward the United States. When the political reform has been completed the social and industrial reconstruction of Russia will begin, and a huge market will be opened for all sorts of material and supplies. Then we shall see an exemplification of the Biblical injunction concerning the casting of bread upon the waters. LOADED WITH CURIOS Loaded down with the queerest collection of relics and keepsakes ever seen by Orange county authorities, Louis Nines, a native of Russia, who said that he intended building a boat in which he would go to "some island" to be free of asserted persecutions, was brought into the justice court and arraigned on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon. Nines was arrested at Newport on Thursday by City Marshal J. A. Porter. Porter's attention was called to the strange beach visitor by a man who accused him of attempting to steal a motor boat. When Porter attempted to arrest Nines he dropped a big leather suitcase on the beach and fled. He was soon overtaken, however. When Porter searched Nines he found a brand new hatchet and a hunting knife. The hatchet was taken from a knapsack on the man's back, the knife from his hip pocket. The HELLMAN When I. W.

The first is, that whereas all appointments to Philippine offices had formerly been made without regard to American politics, after 1915 the partisan line was sharply drawn. The second is, that whereas men of real leadership had always before been sent to high office there, in recent years the men sent have been of the kind who were content merely to find out what the Filipinos want and give them their desire. The distressing financial conditions in the Philippines by which the government itself is practically bankrupt and all private business prostrated is a direct result of Democratic administration described by Bishop Brent. It was to relieve this situation that the congress recently authorized the Philippine government to increase its indebtedness by $15,000,000 and to raise which bonds are now being sold. At the time the congress took action, it being an emergency measure, the National Bank of the islands was insolvent and on the verge of closing its doors. It had lost not only private funds deposited with it, but about $50,000,000 Philippine government funds. Its closing would have utterly wrecked all businesses in the islands, as it had made heavy losses to many of the leading commercial and industrial enterprises. Many of the large enterprises of the islands were about to be foreclosed by foreign interests, which were eagerly awaiting that opportunity to get firmly entrenched in the islands. Eight years ago the Philippine bank and business in the islands were in excellent condition. The world war vastly increased the exports of the islands and also increased their value. The critical financial conditions and virtual bankruptcy of the government is due, not to economic conditions, but to the inefficient government of the Philippines under the Wilson administration—Saturated with the same anti-imperialism idea that was the Democratic paramount issue in Bryan's 1900 campaign against McKinley's re-election, the Wilson administration proceeded to put these ideas into effect. Although responsible for the manner in which the islands were managed politically and economically the Democrats practically turned the government over to natives and let them do as they pleased. Affairs fell into the hands of a faction of the Filipino politicians with the result that at the end of eight years the Philippines are in a worse shape... Kinley's re-election, the Wilson administration proceeded to put these ideas into effect. Although responsible for the manner in which the islands were managed politically and economically the Democrats practically turned the government over to natives and let them do as they pleased. Affairs fell into the hands of a faction of the Filipino politicians with the result that at the end of eight years the Philippines are in a worse shape than at time since the United States took possession of them. Politically, things are in a mess. The virtual abdication of the Democratic appointees left the native politicians free to stir up trouble and rekindle fires of dissatisfaction with American policies. Economically and financially, affairs could hardly be worse. The management of the government bank was turned over by the Democratic administration to incompetent natives with the above mentioned results. The Harding administration immediately dispatched American bankers to take charge of the islands' finances in an endeavor to prevent absolute ruin. The congress passed the emergency resolution increasing the Philippine legal indebtedness by $15,000,000. But it will take a long time and hard work to overcome the evil effects of eight years of Democratic mismanagement and the Wilsonian idea of self-determination as applied to the islanders. HUNDREDFOLD RETURN If food to be sent to Russia by the American relief administration can reach the people for whom it is intended, there is little doubt that the project will redound greatly to the benefit of the United States. For one reason or another about every country in Europe is suspected by Russians of fostering a desire to exp... HELLMAN'S BEQUEST When I. W. Hellman disposed of millions of dollars' worth of property in his will his thoughts turned back to boyhood scenes in his native Bavarian village of Reckendorf. He made a bequest of $3000 to be distributed among the poor of the town—just a trifle to let them know that his birthplace had not been forgotten. During his long absence the individuals he might have remembered had probably disappeared and scattered, so he decreed that the sum of money should be generally bestowed for the aid and comfort of the needy. The $3000, after his death was exchanged for German marks and sent to the city authorities of Reckendorf, for distribution. But from a trifling amount among the Hellman millions the sum assumed the proportions of a vast bequest, amounting to approximately 270,000 marks. The executors of the Hellman estate last week received a letter from the Reckendorf authorities, stating that the sum was far too large to be distributed recklessly at one time to the few indigent residents of the town, and suggested it be made a trust fund, the income to go to the relief of such cases of sickness and destitution as might arise from year to year. The request is being compiled with, and Reckendorf is rejoicing over the fact that poverty has been permanently banished. AUTO SHOW FOR S. A. A big street automobile show for Santa Ana is among the possibilities of the immediate future, according to Herbert O. Davis, secretary of the Orange County Automobile Trades' association, today. With successful shows being held at Orange and Anaheim recently, Santa LEARN SPANISH With Heffner's Phono-Syllable method now being demonstrated at Abrams' book and stationery store, 116 West Center street. The busy business man's method—no teachers, text books, grammars, phonographs or dictionary needed. Nothing to memorize, no pages to turn. Study for a minute or an hour. You must and will learn if you are an occident or an oriental and cannot understand one or another, with this method you all learn to read, write and speak understandingly. Students, teachers and scholars of Spanish language are courteously requested to come to the demonstrations and meet the author of the method, the method that has put the people of Pomona to talking about Heffner in Spanish. THE DRESEL-ROSEN TREATY The successful negotiation of a separate treaty of peace between the United States and Germany gives the lie to the propaganda anent the impossibility of such a consummation that descended upon the American people when the treaty of Versailles was before them. A large majority of the metropolitan newspapers of this and other sections aided and abetted England, Japan, et al., in assuring America that Germany would never consent to such a treaty and that Germany's refusal would result in the forfeiture of everything to which America was entitled by the terms of the armistice or any agreements based upon those terms. Coupled with this threat was an attempt to shame the American people into approving the ratification of the Versailles treaty by addressing to them the argument that to enter into a "separate" treaty with Germany would be to "desert" our associates in the conflict and prove faithless to the A big street automobile show for Santa Ana is among the possibilities of the immediate future, according to Herbert O. Davis, secretary of the Orange County Automobile Trades' association, today. With successful shows being held at Orange and Anaheim recently, Santa Ana dealers are discussing a street show, Davis said. "The two street shows already held have demonstrated to the satisfaction of dealers that people will turn out and view the exhibits," declared Davis. "The interest manifested by the general public in the displays has been far in excess of what was expected when the suggestion was first made that dealers of the county co-operate in street shows. "Interest in such events is growing both on the part of the dealers and the public and I believe that if it is decided to stage one on the streets of Santa Ana the display will be larger and more persons will be present than at any of the other exhibits. "Dealers are more than satisfied with the prospects developed at the street shows. They declare that many who will not attend a show in a tent attend the street displays. Close inspections of motor equipment and interior finish have marked investigations by prospective buyers at the open show. "It is probable that the matter of a show in this city will be discussed at the monthly meeting of the dealers' craft next Friday evening."

OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE The reported increase in the July exports of our two principal commercial staples, cotton and wheat, as compared with the same months a year ago, is heartening. The increase is in volume, to be sure, not value. It is necessary to continue to employ this distinction in order to make intelligent comparison of our foreign trade while we are returning to normalcy. The war and post-war values were so extravagantly swollen as to have no resemblance to prior statistics, or those that are now being compiled from month to month. A much better understanding of the existing situation in such a treaty and that Germany's refusal would result in the forfeiture of everything to which America was entitled by the terms of the armistice or any agreements based upon those terms. Coupled with this threat was an attempt to shame the American people into approving the ratification of the Versailles treaty by addressing them the argument that to enter into a "separate" treaty with Germany would be to "desert" our associates in the conflict and prove faithless to the memory of our immortal dead. And this insult to Yankee intelligence was pressed in the face of the fact that our associates in the war had themselves negotiated, signed and ratified a separate treaty with Germany, without making its effectiveness in any way dependent upon America's ratification. In other words, our people were told by the "selling agents" of the Versailles treaty that Germany would not make a separate treaty with the United States, and that even if she would, she could not, because England, Japan, et al., would not permit her to do so, and that if she would and could, the United States would be outlawed from the companyay of the decent by making such a treaty. The trick failed. The senate of the United States—under the leadership of a brave and loyal minority at whose head stood Henry Cabot Lodge—refused to be bluffed or bulldozed, shamed or intimidated into giving the senate's constitutional advice and consent to the ratification of an infamous bargain that not only violated in many particulars the terms of the armistice, but violated at many and vital points the self-respect, the conscience and common sense of the people of the United States. Apparently they were sent chiefly as evidence of this government's determination to have the contesting countries stand by the award they had previously agreed to accept. It is possible, of course, since any human judgment is fallible, that former Justice White erred in his decision and that actual justice has not been done Panama. If that is so, however, it is no reason for holding by force the region awarded to Costa Rica. Panama would act a wiser part to make the concession gracefully first, and later seek what she considers her just rights by peaceful negotiations. Although it may be considered regrettable that the United States found it necessary to make even a slight display of force in sending marines to Central America, it is well to have prevented the threatening hostilities between the two neighbor republics. Now that Panama has announced her intention to permit peaceful occupation of the Coto territory by Costa Ricans, this government's action appears to have been justified. Disappointed as she may be, Panama must still appreciate that the motives of the United States government were disinterested.

MAINTENANCE COMPANY County Distributors for Vesta Batteries Phone 112-M—PLACENTIA ago, is heartening. The increase is in volume, to be sure, not value. It is necessary to continue to employ this distinction in order to make intelligent comparison of our foreign trade while we are returning to normalcy. The war and post-war values were so extravagantly swollen as to have no resemblance to prior statistics, or those that are now being compiled from month to month. A much better understanding of the existing situation is to be obtained by considering the quantities exported or imported. Thus, while the July exports of cotton fell off by twelve million dollars, more than twice as many bales were shipped as a year ago—527,000, as compared with 211,000. Wheat aggregated twenty-five million bushels, worth thirty-seven million dollars, against twenty-four million, worth seventy million dollars. The agreeable showing is that consumption is being resumed abroad, encouraged by sharp price concessions. This applies to other commodities than cotton and wheat, both raw material and manufactured products. According to a statement of the department of commerce, lower prices, rather than diminished quantities, have accounted in no small degree for the great slump in our export figures. The war level of values is now far beyond reach. But the steadying movement which has apparently set in, and the recovery which may soon be hoped for, may be satisfactorily estimated by consulting the statistics of volume.
