Acknowledgement. Mr.. Robinson
hardly believes our Educational Gov
ernor'' would run amuck" under any

would give the country an exhibition
of sure enough trust busting" in that
position.
Mr.. Robinson's suggestion is one
that will meet with a great deal of
favor not only in this State, but all
through the Southland. Governor Ay-
cock is eminently qualified for a cabi-
net position. 1t will be remembered
that Mr. Cleveland came South and
took Hon. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, for
his POstmaster-Genera afterwards
making him Attorney General. He
also chose Hon. l.. g. G.. Lamar, of
Mississippi, for his Secretary of the
Interior and afterwards gave him a
place on the United States Supreme
Court. bench. In the event of Judge
Parker's election he will not be less
liberal to the South than was Mr..
Cleveland and it will be the most ma
tural thing in the world for North
Cardinals great Governor to be in
vited into his official family, and no
portfolio would suit him better than
that of the Attorney Generalship. He
would rank in brains and character
with Hill, Bryan or any other man
the President would call around his
council table. Keep your eye on
AycOck.

LONDON, April 1S.-Editorializing on
the subject of wireless Geographic war

runs all reason and recalls the fact that
the Times dispatch boat was stopped and
searched by a Russian warship not long
ago. No objection was made to this then,
while the Japanese authorities were not in

The Times says: at is doubtful whether
in the present condition of their fleet the

desire without perpetrating what i'm the

I'VE should not raise any objection to
the severest censorship exercised in ac-

modern warfare. The Russians will find
that the application of scientific discoveries

by means which may be effective within
the region where Russian bureaucracy is
still supreme.

MONKEY STRUGGLED IN
AS AN IGORROTE BABY
Now the Mascot of the Filipino
Colony at the Worlds Fair
A Joke on DR.. Hunt.
EARS AS PIPE HOLDERS

ST. LOUIS, April 17.-Probaby no col
lection of living beings anywhere on earth
ever proved such attraction as do the
LOO Fllipinos who are now engaged in
observing civilization at the worlds fair
grounds. These representatives of several
savage tribes in the archipelago, and also
OF the civilized tribes, gathered by agents
OF the Philippine Commission and trans
ported TO America under somewhat diff
cult and embarrassing circumstances, are
the objects of much curious attention from
the crowds OF pre-exposition visitors.
There is one resident of the colony who
is not legally entitled to reside in America
for the season. He is a tiny monkey, about
the size of a small house cat When nr
I: X: Hunt who was the Civil Governor
of Cebu for four years and who personally
selected and collected the wild Filipinos
for exposition purposes, went aboard the
ship at Manila and surveyed his aggrega-
ton, he pronounced ii good.
Il trust you were very particular" he
said to the inspectors. mot to let these
people bring any animals along You know
they are very fond of animals, and our reg
ulatlons forbid them from bringing
monkeys or anything Of that sort
The inspectors assured the doctor that
no animals had been taken aboard. Two
days out, while DR.. Hunt was inspecting
his cargo OF living curiosities, he observed
small monkey hopping about on the low
er deck.
he inquired, sternly
An Igorrote woman, with shock Of
mar ike securing mop. wagged her head
and grinned gleefuliy. She called TO the
monkey In her own tongue and the tiny
animal sprang into her arms and was
clasped tightly 20 her breast It's little face
turned out IN mute appeal, looked so much
like the face of an Ingorrote infant that
DR.. Hunt realized at once how the beast
had got aboard.
Here's one on me, Healy," he remarked
to Mr.. Nj. r. Healy, who was on board
with a number of Visayans for the Visayan
village at the worlds fair. You see this
monkey? That woman carried him aboard
at her breast and the inspectors thought it
was a Filipino baby"
The monkey is now the mascot of the
forty-acre Filipino reservation at ST. Louis
and promises TO become the most popular
and famous citizen of that interesting
tract.
But there are other beings on the
grounds who present an aspect to civilized
people no less amusing than that monkey.
Some of these wild Filipinos use their ears
for pipe pockets, and il is not uncommon
to see a Bontoc belle or a Negrito house
wife with a short black pipe or cigar
holder stuck in each ear. The women, as
well as the men, are inveterate smokers
When they cannot get pipe tobacco they
smoke cigars. When the cigars run out
they smoke cigarettes. If there are nei-
Their pipes, cigars nor cigarettes they will
smoke rope or anything that furnishes a
strong flavor.
