The IgorroteS.

The visiting Igorrotes. from the Philip
pine Islands made their appearance in
Washington today. clad in a costume that
could not possibly arouse the least objec-
ton in the most fastdious prudish
breast. They were presentable when led
before the President would be any body
of citizens from the more civilized portions
of the domain of the United States. The
spectacle they made at the White House
is indeed highly impressive. few years
ago these people were living in barbarism
in remote corner of the world, seldom
mentioned in this region. their identity as a
race known only TO ethnologists and to oc-
casional travellers Their condition was APP
parently hopeless of chance for progress.
Today they stand before the President of
the United States residents of a country
which has been brought under the domin-
ION of the American republic. with unlim-
tied opportunities of advancement before
them. They are perhaps not capable of a
very high degree of cultivation. They have
a great racial handicap against them, in
creased by centuries of Spanish oppression.
But they will return to their country in
fn!tely broadened by their visit to the
United States, and perhaps inspired by the
desire to become as the residents of this
country. Their use of the clothes that con-
vention demands here, while on their visit
of ceremony TO the President. is token of
their amenability to the influences of the
land
But just whether the Igorrotes would be
physically bettered by a permanent adop-
ton of clothing is a question which some
students of conditions in the South Seas are
inclined to answer in the negative. The ma
uves of Samoa. it is said have been men,
aced with determination by pneumonia in
consequence Of their adoption Of clothing.
In their native state they wore a generous
coating of cocoanut oil which rendered
their skin impervious to the moisture that
abounds in that climate. When they were
persuaded by the missionaries to wear
clothing they began to sicken and die. their
clothes retaining the dampness and giving
then lung trouble. The Igorrotes live in a
somewhat similar climate, and il NAV he
that their permanent adoption of the white
mans garb would seriously menace their
health in the same way

Mr.. Taggart's Safe Tip.

This Is reported from New YORK:
Senator Taliaferro of Florida called on
Mr.. Taggart today and advised him that

would need the attention of the national
committee"

entered the bridge at the SUI posedly safe

was at the gingway with a torch looking
to learn the condition of the stream. Then

won in a spirited contest a denomination TO
the Senate. 1t was strictly family analr.
The republicans had no part In 1t because
they do not count in the political equation
in Florida, The democrats make their
nominations at primaries, and on election
day such members of the party as are not
otherwise engaged go to the polls and ratify
them. Only few votes win do, although II
is not good form or good neighboriiness to
permit the number to be too small. This Is
whv Mr.. Taliaferro Is confident that no
conditions will arise in the south which Will
need the attention of the democratic ma
tional committee. Mr.. Taggart may rely
upon that statement absolutely.
To be sure, we are told that the republic
cans of Virginia. of Texas and elsewhere In
the south are showing unusual activity. In
Mississippi there is the phenomenon or
republican candidate for Congress. 1t is all
praiseworthy enough. Pity 1t Is that such
activity, although foredoomed to failure,
should not be shown in every political cam
peign. state as well as national. But 1t Is
not. Human nature Is much the same the
world over; and. after repeated Ickings,
the spirit of men is broken. An occasional
assertion-and that none too vigorous-is
about all that may be expected from those
who know that nothing Is to come from
what they may say or do
Mr.. Taggart's figures as they relate to the
votes Of the lower southern States-about
forty of which are unconstitutional-will
need no revision. Nothing short of an
earthquake could change them. and we in
this country are above the line of the more
serious seismic disturbances.

Only by a Revolution.

From the New York Sun.
Our neighbor, the New York Times, gives
this a list of the states as to which
some doubts entertained with refer
ence to their votes next November: Colo
RADIO, Connecticut, Delaware. Indiana Mon
tana New York. New Jersey, Utah, West
Virginia and Wisconsin. These states have.
together, 1O7 electoral votes, and if the
democrats can get II of these votes in addi-
ton to those of the solid south. including
Maryland, they will elect Judge Parker.
The present political sentiment of these
stctes cannot reasonably be inferred from
their votes at the election of 1900 for at
the last presidential election the democratic
party was demoralized by Organism. We
must go to the state elections in them
since then to get a notion as to it. Here
are their majorities or pluralites in 1902:
Colorado, 1926 republican: Connecticut
1600S republican; Delaware, 4,153 repub-
10.4S6 republican; New York, $500 repub-
lican; New Jersey, II, 1873 republican; Utah
47S1 republican; West Virginia, no state
election; Wisconsin. A 500 republican.
The latest expression of political senti-
ment in all these states was strongly re-
publican, for the legislature elected in West
Virginia in 1902 was republican by a large
ma jority-in the senate "a republicans to
democrats, in the house 81 to %.
The most doubtful state, as indicated by
the above table, is New York. The repub-
licans carried 1t in 1902 by a plurality OF
less than two-thirds of l per cent in a total
republican and democratic poll of nearly a
million and one-t third. That is a margin sc
narrow as to justify democratic hopes OF
winning the state next November But as
to the other states, the returns of the elec-
tons in the middle of presidential term
do not suggest democratic victory next No
vember, according to past political prece-
dent.
The only hope of the election of Judge
Parker lies in a political revolution BY
which not merely these assumed Doubt, d
states, but also MANY others incl,,dipe
Massachusetts and Illinois, will be carried
oveI to the derr ,crats

The latest news from Bogota Is assuring.
If General Reyes has taken office and in
stalled a cabinet, every thing should be we'll
there, at least for awhile. Why should any
body in Colombia, except professional mis-
chief makers, be stirring up anti American
sentiment? The seasoned agitator. who
revels In his trade and makes a living by
it. may find something in his line in the
isthmian canal matter. but the Colombian,
with the ability to recognize an accomplish.
ed fact and the wisdom to adjust himself
to it, should look pleasant and help pro.
mote good feeling with the United States.
General Reyes, at any rate, is on the right
track. and his influence should count for a
good deal In the equation.
