Sparrow Carriers

A man in Georgia some time ago
caught some sparrows and trained
them so that he can open their cage
and they will fly back again without
any other inducement than the love of
their home. This trainer watched the
birds carefully and made up his mind
that sparrows could be trained to do
the work Of carrier pigeons and that,
as they were smaller, they would be
more valuable m case Of war. He gave
one Of his sparrows to a friend who
was going g distance Of 40 miles and
told him to free the bird when he had
reached the end Of his journey and at
the same time to telegraph him when
be did go. The bird reached home and
went directly to It's cage. making the
journey in little over an hour and a
half.

Oriental Citizens

Are the Filipinos to be citizens? Are
they to be allowed to come to the
United States with their oriental
methods of living to compete with Am
erican labor? What good does it do
to exclude few Chinese and then
bring in by force eight millions Of
Filipinos? Are the Filipinos to ex-
pect to participate in our elections? Is
a presidential election to be deter
mined by the returns from the Philip
pine islands? Are the questions which
concern our own people to be decided
some day by the senators and repre-
sentatives in congress from the Phil
ippines? And if The Filipinos are not
to be citizens, are we going to change
our constitution SO as to hold them in
permanent stage Of vassalage? Can
we expect anything but their hatred
SO long as we rule them through car
pet bag governors? The republicans
have studiously avoided a discussion
of the Philippine question. They have
opposed the consolidation of that ques-
ton by the cry that nothing could be
done until the insurrection was put

Professor for BRYAN

New Haven, Oct. 8.-George T. Ladd,
head professor of the department of
philosophy and psychology at Yale
university, who has just returned from
trip around the world, has become
IN ardent anti-imperialist through his
personal investigations into conditions
in the far east. Professor Laid spent
about four months in Japan and the
whole o. one winter in India and came
in contact with the foremost educators
and statesmen of the. orient. He per-
sonally looked into conditions in the
east and the prospects for American
and western civilization and has come
to the conclusion that America is MAX
ing great mistake to enter the Phil
iprines as ruler and possessor. Prof.
Ladd said today:
The attitude of the United States
in retaining the Philippines is entire
ly unjussifiable. 1t was wrong from
the very beginning, from the moment
when the commissioners of our gov
eminent forced Spain to sell us the
islands. It is impolitic, immoral and
contrary to all of our traditions. The
chances are that the Filipinos will al
ways keep in rebellion till they either
have self-government or are exterm-
mated"
