S. Control: Four Members of Legislature Tender Resignations Manila, Political developments and reports from the Moro country Saturday indicates that a situation exists in the Philippines that is more serious and more complicated than any that has existed here since tlie American administration became definitely established. While Governor General Leonard Wood and a lurge force of constabulary troops are In Mindanao investigating Moro troubles there, the political situation has come to a head in tile resignation of the legislature late Saturday night. Three representatives and one senator, appointed by Governor General Wood, have sent in a joint resignation, accompanied by tlie announcement, that, through appointed by the governor general, they could not indorse his policies, and to avoid embarrassment for him and themselves they deemed it best to quit their posts. Tlie resignations of the legislators are regarded as a destinct victory for tlie Philippine independence commission, which for some time has been trying to prevail on appointive members of the legislature to resign. At a meeting Saturday morning the commission succeeded in inducing all but one legislator to agree to resign. Rather than present a divided front to the administration, opponents of the governor general agreed to a delay, and at the night meeting came off with a unanimous victory, all appointive members agreeing to resign. All hope for cooperation between tlie executive and legislative departments of the insular government is lost, the legislators said in resigning. They expressed the hope that tlie governor general would appoint somebody to their places who will cooperate with him. With Governor General Wood in was impossible to say Mindanao.it John H.

Lack of advertising has left the cigar "in Irons" at a 7,000,000,000 output. These figures shout out loud. They have awakened our wealthy cigar Industry, and it is now proposed to spend a million and more dollars annually to turn the ebbing tide. Properly directed, this campaign should succeed.
