night in front o. the Palace cafe, when
Patrolnan Denman placed "Idian Joe"
under arrest for disturbing the peace,
the police said.
According to the testimony of the of
fcer, a number of half-breed friends of
the Indian wrested the prisoner from
his grasp and made a lot of trouble for
him. He said he blew his whistle, sum-
moning several other officers to his aid
and the crowd finally was thrust back,
while "Indian Joe" was being taken to
the police station.
After being admitted inside the Jail
the would-be "pug" is said to have tried
his fistic abilities upon Jailer Gilpin.
Gilpin is reported to have promptly
knocked the man down and ended the
contest in one short round.
$25 or Twenty-Five Days

dian Joe" was full of firewater at the

case was set for October II.
The police assert Riviera was the
ringleader of the mob that surged about

The Great Air Whale.

The native inhabitants of the FIJI
islands believe thunder TO be the bell
lowing of the great air whale, myth
zeal creature which. according TO their
folklore stories, inhabits the opposite
side of all thunder clouds. If the regu-
lation thunder cloud appears unaccom-
panied by the ominous rumblings pc
culiar TO such phenomena, they take it
as u token that the Great Spirit is
pleased with their past doing. If. how
ever. ON the other hand, the detOnatiOns
be frequent and violent they are sure
that the god of the elements is dis
pleased and Immediately engage them
selves in all sorts of ludicrous incanta-
lions for the purpose OF righting mat
tiers. Lightning Is 10 them the result
OF the air whale gnashing his teeth to-
gether and thus striking fire. Another
peculiarly OF this primitive people lies
in the fact that they will not partake
of food while thunder cloud is in
sight. fearing that the air whale will
pounce upon and devour them for such
iTreverence.

firing of the Philippines.

We have expended $500. 900. 900 in
our efforts to ''benevolently assimilate
the F'ilipinOs and the American people
are about sick of the bargain. Senator
Hale declared in the senate recently
that 1t would have been a blessing
had Dewey sailed from Manila after
ne had annihilated the Spanish fleet
The other day Representative Long
worth in speech in the house stated
that we should leave the Philippines
as soon as possible as the islands
would always be a burden to us.
Who will dare haul down the flag"
in the Philippines was a popular cam
paign cry few years ago. Today the
man who is TO wed the president S
daughter would haul down the flag and
give independence to 100000 people
who demand the right TO rule them
selves.
We can not Americanize strange
and alien race 5000 miles from our
shores If we continue the effort il
will be at an enormous expense. We
must always keep troops and warships
in the Philippines We can overawe
the people. but bayonets and guns can
never force them to love us.
There is a remarkable change in
public sentiment Imperialism had in
toxicated us. but now that sober mo-
ments have come the people are look
ing for an honorable way to be releas-
ed from bad bargain

which have been obscure. The fact,
however, that these elaborate explana-
tions are necessary is something which
the country regrets. IL Is evident that
though considerable work of prelim-
mary sort has been transacted. not
nearly so much has been done as the
country expected by this time.
The report that Chairman Shonts
may resign shows that things have not
been running smoothly recently. Sec
rotary Taft disapproves of some of the
acts of Shonts as chairman of the canal
commission and as head of the railroad
property on the isthmus. 1t had been
popularity supposed that when Wallace
got out half a year ago, and when n
few other changes had been made III
the commission and its attaches, every
thing would be serene thereafter. This
hope is now seen TO have been vain.
Things have not been working at the
isthmus TO the liking of the country.
although it is possible that some of
the delay and the decentralization may
have been unavoidable.
II is unfortunate that either the pres
ident or Secretary Taft finds il neceS-
sary TO take notice of the changes
which are made by casual writer's on
the situation at the isthmus. One of
these writer's has just printed an az
tack on the commission in an obscure
weekly publication in New York, and
the secretary of war makes reply TO
il. This is disagreeable TO the coun-
try. and shows that the administration
chiefs are getting sensitive about the
attacks which are being made on them
over the shoulders of the commission
and its attaches The country would
like to see the practical work of con-
struction on the isthmus begin. Less
wrangling and more digging would
please the people who are paying the
bills. The promise that the clay would
soon begin to fly which was made two
years ago has not yet been carried out.
The task of preparation. as everybody
knows. is vast. But such revelations
as are being made would seem to- show
that not quite as much practical work
has been accomplished as could have
been done under wiser management on
the isthmus or in Washington.

A QUESTION OFCOST.

In any number of stores
you'll see various prepare
tions of cod liver oil at as
many different prices. You'll
wonder, perhaps, why SCOTS
Emulsion costs more than
some other kind in as large
a bottle. Hearing only one
side of the question you may
be led into buying the "just
as good as SCOTS " at the
lower price. That's false
economy. SCOTS Emulsion
costs more because its more
expensive to make. Every
ingredient is tested and guar
anteed of the purest quality.
No adulteration, no shaving
of quality. There's no econ
omy in bargain medicine. If
you can afford to experiment
with your health, substitutes
may satisfy you. We take it,
however, that you want a
pure preparation, a reliable
remedy and something that's
going to help you. That's
what you get in SCOTS
Emulsion. Thirty years the
standard.
