Democrats and the Philippines.
Advices from Washington, say that
President Wilson will soon Bubmlt to
congress a proposal for dcflnlto plans
upon which tho United States may
get ready to quit tho Philippines. It
is said the prwldont looks for littlo
contention over tho disposition of
tho Islands, Inasmuch ns the demo
crats are bound by n party platform
to euch action. It is of Interest to
note Just what the platform has to
say. After condemning: this govern
ment's ocoupatipn of tho Philippines,
It proceeds:
We favor an Immediate declaration of
the nation's purpose to recognize the In
dependence of the Philippine Islands as
soon a a stable government can be es
tablished, such Independence to be ituar-
anteed by us until the neutralisation of
the Islands can bo secured by treaty with
other powers.
But President Wilson has not yet
indicated Just when he believes "a
tabid government can bo estab
lished." Tho American government
never had any other Idea In the Is
lands than that It would establish
fttablo conditions there and give the
largest moasuro of self-government
as soon as possible. Tho republican
national platform of 1000 declared:
Our authority could not be less than
6ur responsibility. The largest measure
of self-government consistent with their
elfare and our duties shall be secured
to them by law.
Surely our government has kept
faith and surely no one will say that
the United States could have met its
responsibility if it quit the Islands
and left them to their fate at this
time.

Business and Pleasure.
The meeting of tho Nebraska edi
tors, Just concluded in Omaha, In
vites attention to tho problom of tho
proper admixture of business and
pleasuro at such gatherings. Tho
one and only complaint heard, and
that not a very loud one, was that
the social and entertainment features
wore Interfering too much with the
business program.
If Omaha is to bo the model con
vention city, and to play host to a
constant 'succession of societies, as
sociations and conventions, it muBt
try to do its duty and furnish recrea
tion pleasures that fit in with tho
main purpose for which tho meeting
la held, and the same principle that
should control for one convention
will apply to all. "AH work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" holds
good, here, but tho play can be ar
ranged so as not to Interfere with
tho work.

Hoist by Its Own Petard.
Los Angeles has elected as mayor
by a handsome majority ovor the
municipal conference candidate tho
man running Independently with tho
full socialist support. It seems, in
fact, that tho socialist voto. deter?
mined tho contest. It is 'not an in
considerable factor in Los Angolca,
ns was proved by Job" Harrlman,
who, as tho socialist candidate; was.
a very hard man to boat, oven though
handicapped by tho incubus of hav
ing been a legal defender of tho Mc-Namaras,
For several yoars Los Angelos has
boon ruanlng the gamut of reform
experimentation. It haa perhaps
outrun nearly every other Amorlcan
city in this regard. A hotter, moro
scientific and purer municipality
was its laudable objective. It has
overlooked very fow schemes, fads or
devices of civic management In Ua
quest for the ideal. Yet, as these
election returna Indicate, and as
other sources of Information con
firm, tho not result is the spread of
socialism aa the1 manifestation of a
spirit of increasing unrest. "And
this spread of socialism is not con
fined to tho unthinking and poorly-
to-do claasoo," says a Loa Angeles
business man. "It is surprising to
see how many of our respresontatlvo
citizens have been caught up In the
vortex of the wind."
PosBlbly the success of tho inde
pendent-socialist candidate may be
but a eano outcome of tho erazo for
chango and innovation. Let us hope
so and watch and see.

OMAHA, Juno 6. To the Editor of The
Bee: The action of our city commission
tn awarding a medal to S. Slotky for his
service In notifying Colonel Hartmann
of F6j-t Omaha of the tornado is a com
mendable one. The vote of thanks to
Colonel Hartmann and the naming of a
street after him Is also to be com
mended. While we are In this medal and thank
business, let us be fair to all the heroes
of that awful night Watklns Wolfe, a
boy of IS years of age. lives at 5111
Martha street In the Ruser park sec
tion, where the storm first struck Omaha.
In a few moments afterwards he. was
astride his white-faced pony and made a
two-mile dash through the storm to the
Hansacm park pharmacy at Park avenue
and Woolworth street, and rushing In,
told the story that aroused many to
action. Watklns Wolfe should have a
medal. The messenger boy of the
pharmacy darted out of the store to the
residence of M. S, Qreevy, a block away,
and repeated tho Wolfo story of the
storm, Its havoc and death. This mes
senger" boy should also have a medal.
M. J, Greevy, a man of mature Judg
ment and quick presence of mind, quickly
crossed the street from his residence to
Mayor Dahlman'a home and aroused the
mayor with a repetition of the Wolfe
message. He should have a medal.
Mayor Dahlman, himself, spent tho e
tire night, the next day, the next night
all night, and In the next week, day and
night, as tho battering ram between
Omaha and the world at ' large. He
should have a medal. The members of
tho police department, the fire depart
ment on duty that night are also en
titled to 'medals to commemorate their
faithful work.
Colonel Fetterman, Inspector general of
the Nebraska National Guard, spent the
entire night getting out the -Omaha
troops. He shcfuld have a medal. The
policeman that plowed his way through
Bemls park to notify Colonel Fetterman
Is entitled to a medal. Tho chauffeur,
Smith, of Mayor Dahlman'a official auto
mobile, was one of the real heroes of the
night and should have a medal. The
sisters at the Sacred Heart convent, al
though the convent was badly wrecked
In part, were found to have given away
all their food supplies to the needy. They
should havp medals The men of the
Nebraska National Guard, who came so
quickly and patrolled the tornado strip,
are also entitled to medals.
All along the five-mile path of th
tornado through the city can be found
heroes, unhonored and unsung men,
women, boys and girls who should be
remembered with medals. The newspaper
reporters that told the story to the world
so quickly and accurately, and the pho
togfraphers that waded through the de
bris and snow with their cameras should
be remembered with medals.
Let us be fair In this medal and thank
business. FAIR PLAY.
Desslcatlon op Cremntlon.
OMAHA. June 5. To tho Editor of The
Bee: I notice In The Bee a letter that
strongly favors cremation. Tour corre
spondent has certainly struck the right
chord aa far as sanitary system of burial
Is concerned. In the past necessity has
driven- those that were anxious for the
welfare of the living to' cremation as the
sanitary system of burial. Frances Wil
lard, who In her heart detested tho Idea
of Incineration, yet ordered her remain
cremated. This was done on account of
her Intense Interest In the welfare of the
living. I presume that had the Rose Hill
cemetery completed Its mausoleum she
would have preferred destlcatton to hav
ing her body dovdured by fire.
As your correspondent states the. grave
ought to go, and It will go. Ground
burial with Its attendant perils both to
the dead and to the living Is doomed.
We have noticed lately a red-hot discus
sion In Washington, D. C. concerning
cremation. It was found that those who
advocated this movement run up against
sentiment and religion. I may state that
when you run against these things you
come against a stono wall that cannot
be surmounted," There certainly Is a bet
ter way than that described by Colonel
Wolcott In his book, "Old Diary Leaves,'
which Is In the public library. This de
scribes the first cremation- in the United
States, and those Interested In the matter
Should read this article. In Chicago and
other places east they have found that
desslcatlon of body In a sanitary above-
ground sepulture Is better than cremation,
and the same end Is obtained.
