SLAVES And WIVES
IN THE PHILIPPINES |
Gov. Taft Discussed Two
Important Questions.
FREEDOM EXTENDED TO MANY
POlygamy Largely Confined to the DatOs
and Wealthy Men Of the island Of
Mindinao-Sultan Of Jolo Somewhat
Defcient-Recognize Military.

In his hearing before the House Com
mittee on InsuIar Affairs today, Governor
Taft again took up the subject of slavery
in Mindinao and the character Of the
Moros.
He said there was peace in the island.
and there never had been any important
insurrecti0n among the MorOs-
The number Of slaves manumitted by
the military authorities had been small.
He thought it would always be necessary
to maintain military force in MindinaO,
although a civil Government might at
some time be established but it would
he necessary to support it by militarT
power.
Know Only Military Authority.
The Moros. Governor Taft said. knew
no other authority than military force.
The datos exercise the power OF life and
death, but only after a form Of trial.
In answer to a question by Mr.. Patter-
son Dem. Tenn, Governor Taft said
there had been no legislation passed by
the Commission or any action taken by
the Commission 10 suppress slavery in
the islands. The military. he said. had
sought to free all the Filipino slaves. and
it had teen successful in doing so
The Commission had used moral suasion
and one doto Rad liberated his slaves.
Governor Taft said he did not think the
Moros would ever consent 70 be governed
by The Filipinos- There was no social or
political af'liation between them.
Practice Of POlygamy.
He said polygamy was largely confined
10 the datos and the wealthy men Of the
islands. Very few Of the sultans Of Min
dinso. he said. drew any salary from the
Government.
Under TIRE Bates treaty. he stated. the
Sultan of Jolo and his datos~ receive an
allowance.
DO they perform any service in re-
turn2" asked Mr.. Jones OF Virginia
''They are supposed to keep their fol-
lowers in order replied Governor Taft,
''and to prevent crime. but 1 thiak the
sultan is very deficient"
Need Of a University.
Governor Taft said the establishment %
a large university was grea@ly needed "a
TIE i~'.1,- a-l -oUH - l47h appreciated
~ he RcopIe.-wh} are always grateful
such donation from The United States
Government would be very acceptable.
Governor Taft said about $1,000 coo had
been expended in road building under the
army. engineers, and a great deal more
vas needed.
Question CT Coinage.
Taking up the coinage question Gov
erno- Tai, said eny attempt such - was
proposed by Representative HiH (Rep-,
VI to enforce the coinage Of the United
states in the islands would result in
great disaster. II woEld double the cost
Of everything and work great disad-
vantage 10 the debtor class. It would
impair the relations between employer
ard the employed by producing an arti-
fetal instead OF a natural Increase in
wages which would not benefit the labor
ing class because OF the increased cost
Of everything else
The Commission. he said. favored a
sold stac5aTd but o silver currency.

Cold Breeding Collars.

An eminent eastern physician
says that the high, tight collars that
women have been wearing are a
good thing for the doctors. "Half
the colds that women contract are
directly due to having the necks
swathed in bandages OF fancy silks.
or ribbons, or chifIons, or whatever
the stuff is they use for the sake OF
fashion. Then when they do take
them of, for l suppose they must
come of sometime, the slightest
draught gives the wearer cold.
Nor is this the worst feature OF it..
The tightness of these neck bands
results in damage to the chords and
muscles OF the throat and ear. One
of my patients, a woman OF fashion,
has been wearing the things almost
tight enough to produce strangu-
lation, and now she is nearly deaf
and is in the hands Of a specialist.
Still. ! suppose they will be worn
until fashion shall decree their re-
moval."
