the Philippine islands with their un-
enumerated millions of savages and
semi-savages. Whatever legislation
congress may adopt fixing the politi-
cal status of the natives, whether cit
izenship is bestowed or withheld, this
decision brings under the aegis Ct
American citizenry every Nigrite,
Malasian. Meztizo or Mangyan male
whose birth dates after the annexa-
ton Of any one Of the hundreds Of
islands. There Is and can be no linn
itation put upon their rights and priv
ileges. They become as fully citizens
as if their ancestors had been among
the Roundhead and Cavalier immi-
grants to our colonies. Any one of
them will be eligible to the Office Of
president of the United States, to put
the effect of that decision in It's
strongest light. Possibly some other
case may come to that court involy-
ing this same question, and it may
reverse this decision and hold with
Justices Fuller and Harlan that land
subject to the jurisdiction thereof are
qualifying words which incorporate
the pre-eXisting law that made the
nationality of the parent fix the po-
litical status of the child.

The View Point of Obstacles.

Lieut.. Hobson, recounting his eXpe-
rience in the attempt to block Santiago
harbor by sinking the Merrimac in the
channel. said: 1.-THE more I think about
1t the more marvellous it seems that We
are alive" And, indeed, 1t does. To
drive an unaEned and unarmored ship
into a narrow channel whose sides
were lined with batteries and whose
bottom was corded with torpedoes, with
battleships facing the bold intruder,
was an attempt from which no man
engaging in it had any reason to eX-
pect to come out alive. 1t was mar
Vicious, that escape absolutely I'M
scathed.
But the remark Of the lieutenant
illustrates the different point Of view
from which men look on obstacles that
confront them. There are those who
habitually look at them from the front,
see them, if not in exaggeration of their
full magnitude, in fairly accurate es-
innate of them. The more frequent
tendency of this class is to magnify
them. If nerve is lacking, if courage is
subordinate to prudence, this class sur
| render without assault. They form the
great mass Of men who never accom-
| plish anything, for the habit grows Of
magnifying all obstacles. and yielding
| makes subsequent yielding easier I'M
| til the habit is formed.
Hobson belongs to that other class
| who sense the magnitude of obstacles
that come athwart their way only after
they have assaulted and, generally,
overcome them. Looking backward at
| what they have accomplished they
marvel that they dared undertake it.,
or that they succeeded. They have
Self-confldence in abundance. They
count their resources more than they
do the dangers or the difficulties. They
are the men who accomplish. They are
tenacious Of purpose. They drive con-
stantly toward their purpose. Rebuffs,
defeats do not discourage them. They
are mere incidents to be met and
brushed aside. They may have to turn
this way and that, but never back.
Head winds may compel them to tack,
but progress is made with each tack.
And then, when the struggle is over
| and they pause for breath and lock
| hack and see what they have overcome,
| they sense for the first time the full
| proportions of the obstruction and are
astonished at their audacity in attack
| ing it. But the werld would not be
what it is today were it not for just
| this class of men.

Backwards and Character.

If he has an observant eye and a
discriminating judgment, the man who
drives the grocers or butchers deliv-
cry cart and leaves his packages at the
kitchen doors will be able to form a
more accurate estimate of the charac-
ter of the households he serves than
will you who get your impressions from
the front sidewalk or even from no in
considerable acquaintance with front
parlors. There may be elegance in the
Powered and erased lawn and in the
receiving halls and parlors, but if these
are all that pass under your inspection
you will not know as well as does the
humber person who gains access only
to the area whether refinement dwells
also with that household. Refinement,
which loves the orderly and Clearly, and
slovenliness do not live under the same
roof.
Slovenliness, however, seeing how
highly refinement is esteemed, tries to
ape her ways and, where censorious or
critical eyes can view them, borrows
and displays the mere adornments of
refinement, her elegancies. But where
critical eyes never peer, or eyes to
whose seeing she is Indifferent, she
spares herself the effort Of imitation
and INDUCES in the luxury of being
herself. No matter what the signs Civ
en- by front yards and halls and par
lors, if you would know for sure wheth-
er the lady or the slattern abide there,
whether appearances be the solid gold
of refinement or the gilded base metal
of imitation, consult the man who
drives the delivery wagon. For he
knows, If the backyard be as neatly
kept, as clearly, as graced with flowers
or shrubbery as is the front, that the
refinement showing there is genuine.
And he knows, if the backyard shows
piles of dirt, grass killed by kitchen
Stops, ash-heaps in its corners and lit
ter strewn everywhere, that a slat-
tern presides in fact, however she may
conceal herself in front finery.
And there are backwards to character
as we'll as to homes. mo man is ever
a hero to his valet" because of these
backwards. Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" where familiarity reveals I'M
couth backyards. You have known this
man or that woman for years. They
are courteous, modest, truthful, frank,
upright, virtuous; having the qualities
we all esteem. Some day something
