...Significance. Quezon and Osmena with their Collectivist Party practically control Philippine politics. They have carried on a bitter attack on the Governor for political reasons. He deprived them of most profitable freedom to do as they pleased, which they had enjoyed under the lax Administration of the previous Governor, Harrison. There have been reports of impending revolution in the Philippines because of their "incendiary" attacks. But revolution is most improbable; Messrs. Quezon and Osmena would gain nothing by it. They play with matches, but they have no intention of committing arson. They capitalize politically the popular emotion which...
...safely aim a few shafts of criticism at an ordinary prohibitionist such as Mr. Coolidge. There is already a record of his marksmanship: 1) At the Citizenship Conference of the Council of Churches (TIME, Oct. 22) he declared with thinly veiled criticism that the President ought to take direct control of prohibition enforcement. 2) At the Conference of Governors he was a leading member of the group which "put over" the prohibition memorial.

It is unlikely that they will grow much more. But an attempt arbitrarily to hasten their decline, if, in fact, a decline is advisable, would be idle and harmful...
...moment's glance Stralem seemed the superior player of the two. His American twist service, which he had under excellent control yesterday, was far more prepossessing than Whitbeck's overhead smash; the former's service was fast, crossed the net low, was usually good, and bounded high, while Whitbeck's low bound made it easy to handle. Yet, Whitbeck prevailed, for his return was better placed and faster than was Stralem's. The younger player, Whitbeck, continually outwitted the senior in his placing, working Stralem's backband a great deal...
