ADVICE TO THE FILIPPINOS.
With his veto of the proposal by the
philippine legislature for a plebiscite
upon the question of insular inde-
pendence, President Coolidge has of-
fered some wholesome advice to the
native politicians who have been lead-
ing the agitation for complete politi-
cal freedom.
In the firstplace, he frankly stated
his convicton that the people of the
Philippines are as yet not ready for
full self-government. Then, regard-
ing the attainment of this ultimate
goal, he mildly scored the methods of
agitation and opposItion, and advised
the Filippinos to show proper exer-
cise of the large powers of govern-
ment already possessed if they would
gain a successful independence.
Likewise, the President reminded
the Filippinos that "political activity
is not the end of life, but is merely a
means to attain the economic, indus-
trial, and social conditions essential
to a stable existence." From this

stand, he objected to the proposed
plebiscite as a possible detriment to
the economic life of the island.
In the same strain, he pointed to
the economic- hardships which would
accompany a break in the present re-
lations with the United States. #Since
70 per cent of the Philippine exports
come to this country, and since Amer-
ican administration has made possible
the steady progress of the islands,
there ought to be little doubt regard-
ing the value of the present connec-
tibns. Whether the Filippinos realize
it or not, the President has acted for
the welfare and prosperity of the
Filippinos in sustaining the previous
veto of Governor-General Wood.
ROBERT A. CAMPBELL
Last Monday at the polls the voters
of the city defeated Mayor Robert A.
Campbell, treasurer of the University,
and elected to his of ce Edward Stae-
biler, local oil dealer.. The election
can in no way be taken as a repudia-
tion of the record of the incumbent,
for an honest citizenry could never
repudiate such a record; and the fact
that Mayor Campbell neglected to ad-
vertise his accomplishments may-have
prevented him from having a third
term.

clency that resulted was plainly evi-

An annual Boys' day in city govern-
ment, whereby more than a hundred!
youths of Ann Arbor have had a,
chance of gaining first hand a knowl-I
edge of the city government, was in-I
stituted by the retiring mayor; and
dozens of smaller things, such as uni-
forms for the. high school band, have
been accomplished indirectly at least,
through his influence.;
It is to be hoped that his successor,
Mr. Staebler, will continue the pro-
gress which has thus far been so suc-
cessfully achieved. It is to be expect-I
ed that the co-operation between the
city'and University will be continued;
and it is to be further expected that
our new mayor will remain awake to
the great potentialities which Mayor
Campbell has so competently discov-
ered in the city of Ann Arbor.
FRATERNITY INBREEDING
0 There are undoubtedy many advan-
tages to residence in a fraternity
house. The social opportunities of-
fered, the facilities available for close
companionship, the presence of more
or less homelike surroundings, the
compact nature of the group, all these
may be mentioned. But there are also
many} perils. Perhaps the greatest of
these is the tendency toward inbreed-
ing, of narrowing acquaintances to
members of the particular fraternityl
and a few "nodding" friepdships on

type are always accidents. They are
never reviewed as good drama,and are
