Thorpe ran down TO help the ladies.
He was nearly taken from his feet by
a wildcat yell. and Il moment later that

was so different from the dead quiet or
desertion he had expected that he was
unable TO gather his faculties. All
about him were familiar faces upturn-

GIVE FILIPINOS
CHANCE TO LIVE
Professor Reinsch Says Political Con-
ditlons Play Too Important
Part In Island.

Chicago. December 29.-Prof. Paul
Reinseh of the University of Wisconsin
made plea for better government of the
Philippine Islands before the American
Political Science association today. His
subject was Colonial Autonomy"
I'VE have been telling the Filipinos,
he said, that if they learn English and
vote they will be happy, but what we
must do is to give the man opportunity
to live"
Political considerations, he asserted,
were at the bottom of our taking over
the islands, and have played too great
part in the methods of administration.
up to the present time the Philippine
commission has had its eye on congress
and upon public opinion" he continued.
''It should be given a free hand and be
responsible only to the insular depart
ment of the government and not made
to answer to charges and uneducated pub
lie opinion"
The speaker asserted that he did not
believe in such assimilation as would give
the Filipinos statehood, because our ex-
perience with the negroes and Chinese he
believed, has shown that there are some
races that will not assimilate.

was selected by the Sigma Alpha Epislon
fraternity as the next place of meeting.
The final session continued after night

quet, at which covers were laid for 800.
The principal address of the evening
WAS delivered by Judge Jacob M. Dick
inson. formerly of Nashville. now of Chi

rois Central railroad, and leading counsel
for the United States before the Alaskan
boundary commission.
Judge Dickinson in the course of his adj
dress reviewed the history of the Sigma
Alpha Epsilon fraternity from its organ
i1ation at the state university of Ala
hama In 1856 and dwelt especially upon
the efforts of the secretary to efface
sectional feeling between the north and
south, and the gratifying results accom-
plished in TINS direction. The speaker
continued:
To-day on the surface and politically
there is more sharp sectional feeling
than existed five years ago. This, be-
lieve largely the result of misunderstood
ing and exaggeration. The president
touched a sensitive nerve in the south.
The response was prompt and in the
opinion of many, the cutlery was exag-
gerated'
