his maiden daughters The daughters are
western bred. which goes a long way with
any bachelor who r. capable OF right
thinking: they are ordinarily good look
ing" which means that they would pass in
a crowd, and they run all the way from
anywhere in the early twenties to 81 years.
There are few bachelors in the west Of
pronounced chronic type for the western
atmosphere is not conducive to single bless
edness, but in the east the bachelors are
so numerous that contemplation Of them IL
one OF the things which led President
Roosevelt 10 enter upon his Rnti-race sui
eide crusade. And this will explain why
the following passage in the announcement
from Pocatello will be cruelty disappointing
mo man will be eligible who was not
born west OF the Missouri river and who
is not living in Idaho or Montana at the
time he makes his proposal of marriage
Nor will any man be- eligible who is not
between p and 20 years Of age, who can
not furnish a certificate Of good character
from the pastor Of the church to which he
belongs, and who cannot satisfy the father
Of the girls beyond all reasonable doubt
that he does not smoke, chew, drink, swear
or gamble"
In other words, the reward offered by
the father OF these eight girls will not be
within the reach Of the very people who
are most anxious to secure It, and, perhaps
most in need Of Il. The condition that the
applicants for the hands of the eight
must have been born west Of the Missouri
is wrong not only because It is unfair to
those born east OF the Missouri, but be-
cause it is contrary to the very spirit OF
the anti-discrimination movement which
has been fostered and which is being
pushed by the present national adminlstra-
ton.
1t Is utterly impossible that all Of our
people shall be born west of the Missouri.
1t is even impossible that all Of them shall
be born west Of the Aleghanies. We Of
the middle west do not look down upon
our eastern brethren because they we're not
fortunate enough to be born out here;
people in the Transmissouri country should
not look down upon us because we were
not fortunate enough to be born I'm the
southwest, Missouri, Kansas Nebraska or
somewhere out on one of the slopes.
We should be broadminded about these
matters, and when the well-to-do parents
OF the west offer premiums with their
daughters there should be no unfair dis
elimination, and particularly against that
part of our common country which is hav-
ing hard enough time as it is.-Chicago

MILITARY BASE MOVED.
Russia's New Plans of Defense in
Siberia

Russia is gradually but most thorouphlv
rearranging her military dispositions and
fortified bases in the far east as q result Of
the hate war, according to late mail adyices
from that quarter of the globe. Formerly
Harbin was the center of the defensive sys
tenn of Siberia. but the displacement of the
Russians on the Liaotung peninsula by the
Japanese and the occupancy by the latter
OIL the important spur from the Trans-St-
berian railroad running southwark to Dalny
have r,ade the existing Russian lines of de-
fense unsafe, and particularly is the only
great Pacific seaport, Vladivostok, endan-
gered so far as concerns the line of COM
munication with Siberia and Russia over
land.
Therefore. according to these advices by
mail, the Russians have removed their mil
itary base back into Siberia. as far, indeed
as the great town of Irkutsk which is to
be extensively fortified. with the town of
Chtta as an advance station. To carry out
the plan for the Improvement of the COM
nun cations of Nladivostok 1t will be neces-
sary TO construct another line of railroad
to connect Chita with that fortified seaport
which, in the Russian plans. Is eventually
to be made even more impregnable than
Port Arthur WAS supposed to be This rail-
way will be located in the valley of the
Amur river 'unning as far westward as
Khabarovsk, where II Is to connect with
the CSuri railway.
China also is bestirring herself to repair
the ravages wrought in her army anc navy
the war with Japan more than ten
years ago. The same advices show that
she has already placed an experimental or
der for a gunboat with Japanese ship
the Yangtsekiang, and it Is now reported
that she is considering placing another or
der for twelve thrd-class cruisers from the
Kewaseki dock yards in Japan.

MOB PARADES MANILA
NATIVES TAKE FORBEARANCE
FOR WEAKNESS, AS USUAL.

Special Cablegran, to TIE Star.
MANILA, August 19.-The American
newspapers here are criticizing the adminis-
tration's weak and dangerous leniency and
it's blindness to the incendiary attitude of
the political agitators.
The Times says the recent elections were
an expression of a spirit which, II un-
checked will surely entail serious conse-
quences.
Another editorial article recalls the warn
ing Of Bishop Brent, who said in November,
1904 that he was not in accord with Mr..
Taft. and did not think the F1ipinos would
ever be At to elect legislative assembly,
that the principle of self-government was
being extended too rapidly on the islands
and that the administration was riding for
a fall.
Americans here, especially the veterans
and the military, are incensed at the re-
peated insults that are offered to the Amer
lean flag, and they have called a mass meet
ing, headed by Presbyterian minister and
by leading lawyers and merchants. They
propose to petition the commission for leg
isation that will insure respect for the flag.
This movement Is the outcome of a recent
nationalist celebration, when a mob pa
raded the streets bearing q few tiny Ameri-
can flags and hundred and fifty large
Katipunan (rebeD flags, which they Haunted
in the faces of American ex-soldiers, amid
they assembled in front of the veterans
hall, and played "AguinaldOs March. |"
Other parades likewise have been filled
with Katpunan emblems. The soldiers
threaten to actively resent these insults II
they are continued.
