...Department was glad. Col. Stimson once a cavalry sergeant, ran the War Department in 1911-1913. Filipinos were glad. Col. Stimson has been much among them and last spring he declared he favors developing responsible Filipino's political parties, choosing the Governor General's cabinet from the majority party and using the Governor General's veto-power only to prevent dereliction. U. S. business was glad. Educated at Yale and Harvard, cultivated in Manhattan, Col. Stimson has a conservative backround and, by his pacification of Nicaragua last spring, his ability has been demonstrated. Mrs. Leonard Wood...
Testifying last week before the Senate Committee on Territories, President Manuel Quezon of the Philippine Senate attacked the liberal-but-firm policy which Col. Stimson represents. But President Quezon intends to leave the Philippines soon, to become Resident Philippine Commissioner in Washington, where he can urge Philippine independence at the adamant doors of Congress instead of in the ears of his docile countrymen.

Governor Fields' last official act observed the tradition by virtue of which so many Kentuckians can call themselves "Colonel." He appointed Thomas P. Middleton, his state commissioner of securities, to be a Colonel on his staff for the few hours remaining. Col. Middleton was thus rewarded for faithful services.

One good reason why Mr. Lodge did not attend the mayoral gathering at Chicago was that, elected mayor of Detroit only last month, he has not yet been inaugurated. Mayor-elect Lodge of Detroit, closer than any mayor to "The U. S. Ambassador of Good Will...
...Deserter Doty, could not but yield Deserter Hargreaves. He, lucky, strode forth a free man from the French prison at Clairvaux. During debate on this matter in the Commons, last week, irate members recalled two recent instances in which British rights were flaunted in the U. S. At Denver, Col., one A. K. Orr, peaceful Briton, was held for 17 days by the police without a charge having ever been preferred against him. Furthermore, on the U. S. steamer Manatawny, it was alleged a British steward, one Fred Thomas, was recently chained to the deckrail and flogged. In neither case...
