THE HAPPY IeoRRoTE

Unenlightened Igorrote,
Fretting not Of pants or coat
Or of vest,
For freckle and smile
Put you squarely into style
Fully dressed!
Pagan, heather, savage Ig., An
In your living picture rig,
You are glad; ~
And there's reason for your gleO
For you're not slave to the
Latest fad.
What to you are fashions whima
AS to crowns or bands or brims
In your hats?
You are never forced to choose
Collars, cuffs, and shirts and shoes
Or cravats.
Poor, beknighted, dumb, despised-
You need not be civilized
Nor aspire
To be "tastefully" arrayed-i
No. it's always ready made,
Your attire Il.
Silent, sullen Igorrotes,
What to you are overcoats7
What Of them?
| And your evening garments, you
Always wear them prior to
| 6 p. M!
So, you sit in darkness still,
Knowing naught of tailor's bin
Or of style
But the anthropologist
Puts your freckle on his list
| And your smile.

eminent.
But Judge Parker says that the sim.
pie TACT that the United States has
grown great and now occupies place
among the foremost powers of the
earth Is no reason why we should
take part In the disputes and broils
OF foreign countries" and Intervene
in every important question that
arises In other parts of the world
How he can make this, statement agree
with his admission that the United
States Is one of the greatest nations
is extremely hard to see. He also
admits that the American government
was established to offer a haven for
the oppressed of other lands. that 1t
is a composite nation, people made
up largely of natives of other coun.
tries.
Judge Parker's view is selfish one.
Though this nation has profited from
the knowledge of men who have been
coming here for generations, intro.
ducing into America customs and prac.
tees from the other nations Of the
earth until the composite has surpass.
ed all the efforts of the older peoples.
Now, when America is in a position to
help others, to give to the world the
advantages of her own progress the
ingredients Of which were borrowed
from that world. Judge Parker says
Hands off. take no part in the affairs
OF the world. live to yourself entirely.
The very fact that America is great
means that her interests extend to 9th.
er lands, that her markets are large
and her products are sent all over the
earth. Judge Parker, to take him at
his word. would shut off all this for.
eign commerce. close the doors OF
trade, and live within America rather
than run the risk of becoming a mill
tary nation and mixing in foreign quar-.
rels. II an American citizen goes to
Turkey for instance, and wants the
same advantages and protection that
the native Turks get, ne must take the
matter entirely in his own hands if
Judge Parker's plan prevails. He can.
not depend upon his government to
take his part because this country
does not want to take part in quarrels
across the seas.
1t would take about year of such q
plan as Judge Parker proposes, for
America to go down and out for he1
to be encroached upon by every for
eign government that can muster a
few ships. The scheme would be all
right if the world were one big Utopia
but where everyone is looking out for
himself and every nation is looking out
for itself, it is impossible and as il
logical as any of the other pleas the
democracy makes for the confidence OF
the people,
America is, to be sure, known as an
agricultural, manufacturing nation
and not as military country. Military
service is not compulsory as in Ger
many, Russia and elsewhere and until
it is, there is no fear of conviction ON
a charge of "militarism." But it's very
growth demands a sufficient defense
to keep off the ever-ready Europen ma
tions. No one wants America to fall
back. Judge Parker himself does
not, but in his desperate effort to find
something on which to base his oppo
sition to the republican party he has
caught at this imaginary issue" like
drowning man at straw.

The first fallacy Of free trade as a
