SAVING THE DAKOTA.
Big Insurance Game Is Being Played
for Hill Liner.

The Seattle News says of the sub
ject of saving the wreck of the steam
ship Dakota: -.
James ]. Hill has abandoned the
wrecked steamship Dakota. He has
accepted $2,500,000 insurance. She is
now in the hands of underwriters who
are liable to pull off the greatest
coup in the annals of modern insur-
ance gambling.
There are those in Seattle who
hailed last night with great JOY the
announcement that the company had
given up all hope of floating the big
liner. There is coterie of well known
shipping men in Seattle who hope to
make hundreds of thousands of dol
lars following the action of the Great
Northern Steamship company.
This little ring in Seattle has one
of the most competent marine men of
wreck. He was at Yokohama when
the big boat scraped bottom, while
going at full speed He knows her
exact condition. He says IL the Da-
kota can weather the March simoons
she can be saved, or enough of her
can be saved to make him and his
Seattle friends independently wealthy.
The Dakota is in a dangerous place,
she is surrounded by danger-from
pirates and the surging elements.
Her bow is 120 feet under water. She
is buried in the waves to her bridge.
Her propellers and rudder are Is feet
above the waters surface. But she
is firmly wedged between a mass OF
razor rocks.
Hil's land agents say she Is hope
less proposition as far as floating her
is concerned. The expert wrecker and
marine surveyor who represents the
Seattle shipping men, states that the
stranded liner is a floating gold mine.
Circumstances are certainly play
ing into the Seattle coterie's hands.
Now comes the announcement that
the underwriters will abandon the Da-
kota. II this be true, 1t is an almost
foregone conclusion that either the
Japanese government or the Seattle
ring will become possessors of the
biggest marine prize package of the
past so years.

When we consider the large number
OF students gathered each year in
Columbia, the Athens of Missouri, ii is
evident that the problem of housing
and feeding these 2300 youths is no
small one. II the city were large,
students would naturally expect little
trouble in ending comfortable quarters.
AS o matter of fact. few over the
state, except the old students Of the
university, know and appreciate The
complete preparation made by both
university aud city TO receive the
students in the autumn. The city has
gained its growth largely as the scope
OF the university has increased, and
more comfortable rooming houses are
erected every year, approved by the
faculty and curators, Boarding acc0 IN
modations are better and cheaper in
the university town than In any other
school town in Missouri. The univers-
ity itself runs what is known as the
university Boarding club, on the camp.
US, TO accommodate over 400 young men.
Here by the payment OF Il small mem
bcrship fee aud the deposit Of a certain
cash sun, which is returned at the
close OF the year, the male student may
obtain his board upon further payment
OF sl50 per week. BY taking advant
agoof the club rates he also saves 30 per
cent on his laundry bill. The food for
the University Boarding club, which IL
wholesome and satisfactory, is bought
at wholesale prices by an officer known
as the cOmmissary. who is a graduate

"UNCLE SAM" IN THE ORIENT
The Filipino People Their Qualifications
for self government.

Zamboanga, Moro Province, p. L.
In approaching the consideration Of
this subject the woeful lack OF mental
development OF the native people as u
whole must be some what understood
before any intelligent opinion can be
former. figures showing the mum Der
OF natives who can read and write are
lamentably lame, and even misleading,
If used as basis to determine the SELF
governing qualifications of the Fill
pinoss as we understand the term in
the United States.
1t is safe TO say that fully 95 per cent
Of the native people are hopelcssly
lacking in that mental development,
discipline, and general knowledge
which is so essential to progress, and
which makes every American self
governing unit however illiterate he
may be Us regards mere book instruc-
tion. Many people approach the con-
sideration OF this subject in total ignor-
ance Of these conditions. In fact, many
are found to declare that the native
has been held in check in his national
development by the Spaniard and If
released from the power of superior
force, would speedily take his place
among the nations Of the East, such as
they are, when, as matter Of truth,
all progress so far made in these Is
lands is due wholly to the white man,
10 the blood he has left here, and to
his precept and example. This is con-
clusively proven by the fact that ia
those parts of the Islands where the
white mans influence has never been
exerted the people are still savages in
every sense of the word.
When the history of these people 10
enquired into, the true state of affairs
met with here comes as no surprise,
however disappointing itmay be those
who thought they were able to see the
day when Filipino republic, sitting
docile at our feet, receiving from lis
civilization, laws, manners, and giving
in turn everything the gratitude Of a
free people could give--love, obedience,
trade would be an accomplished fact.
When the Spaniard arrived In these
Islands some 800 years ago, the people
found here were living in tribes, pos
sessing no written history, no written
laws, no literature, no art, no agricul-
ture, no manufactures: in fact, they
were living practically in state Of
nature. at no time in the past had
they been subject to any mental train
The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1907-08-08

ing other than that employed in COM
passing their simple wants. When it
is remembered that, about 5000 years
before Christ, when the historic cur
tain first rises, the white mans mental
development and the discipline and
control he exercised over himself, was
vastly superior to that found here by
the Spaniards only 800 short years ago,
what hope can be reasonably enter
tained that naturally inferior people
can cover journey in 300 years which
has taken us some 5000 years TO cover?
The per cent of the people who, ii
not overwhelmed by sea OF ignorance
and savagery, are capable of building
a nation and expanding along the lines
of western civilization, are altogether
men OF mixed blood. Among the full
blOoded Filipinoes, / know OF not one
who has made success in life worthy
Of the name, even when measured by
the low standards of the East. Sue
cessful men among ths natives in law,
medicine, art, commerce, are confined
to those OF mixed blood. This latter
class, while possessing no pride Of an.
cestry, no traditions, knowing no race,
and with no experience, yet could,
behave, with its grounding OF white
blood, found a stable government and
expand along the lines of western civil
izations, but they are incapable of
holding in check and guiding the 95
per cent who are igporant, lazy, i'm
provident, recognizing no law which

faults of his early days may be
overlooked, but from the moment
of his marriage he commences to
write an inefaceable history; not by
pen and ink, but by deeds, by
which he must ever afterwards be
reported and judged. His con-
duct at home, his care for his fam.
lily, the training of his children,
his attention to his wife, his de-
votion to the great interests of
eternity; these are the tests by
which his character will ever after
wards be estimated by all who
think or care about him. These
will determine his position while
living, and influence his memory
when the grave has closed over
him. Aad as he uses well or III
the brief space allotted to him out
OF all eternity, to establish fame
founded upon the most solid of
toundations-private worth--so
will God and man judge of him.
He holds in his hands the private
veal and woe of his wife and chill
dren, and if he abuses this most
holy, God-given trust, he cannot
hope for mercy hereafter. Many
a child goes astray, simply because
home lacks sunshine. Many
wife esteems death her best friend,
because he who swore before God
to Glove, honor and cherish" has
forgotten his VOWS.
