the Tennessee Bar association.
Mr.. Taft attended the session of the

broadening his views
One of the most serious objections
that many of us felt in taking over the
Philippines and making them a de-
pendency was the difficulties which
were sure TO arise in the transfer of
the sovereignty from a monarchy like
Spain in which the church and the
state seemed to be in their interests
and jurisdiction inextricably united
as compared to a sovereignty like that
of the United States, in which both by
constitution, and by tradition and Gus.

Secretary Taft then told of the nego

and the agent of this government
This was in no sense an effort tC

merely the American method of seek
in a solution of difficult problem by
dealing direct with the person having
authority"
The secretary closed as follows:
The Roman Church in the Philip
pines is in a deplorable condition from
a property and financial standpoint
Its losses during the revolutionary wal
were very heavy. The deprivation ot
its priests by the circumstances which
have referred 70 interfered greatly
with its usefulness and influence. This
is a most unfortunate matter fo1 the
islands viewed from a purely govern
mental standpoint. The Roman Cath

Of the Filipino people. and its prosper

vantage to the islands as whole tc

surprise good many men: Don't
smoke directly after Il meal. There is
the most irresistible craving to smoke,
but it is wiser to wait a half hour or
an hour. Don't smoke out OF doors
in a high wind or In cold frosty
weather. In the former case 1t is dan
gerous, and in the latter 1t cracks the
lips and prevents proper breathing
Don't smoke with the cigar or pipe
held at the corner of the mouth. This

THE WORD WINTER"
Said to Have Originally indebted
Wetness, Not Goodness.

There is a prevailing impression that
there is something In the word 'Min-
ter" that signifies cold, and the ,sea-
son is usually associated with the Idea
of low temperature. but where the
word originated there was lite of
winter as We understand 1t, While
there was great deal OF moisture at
the time the earth was nearest 10 the
sun, so that 1t is not the tempet Failure
but the atmospheric condition THAT has
given us the word.
The word winter" as we use 1t, is
found with but slight notifications In
all the branches Of the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea OF wetness asso-
ciated with the season was given to 1t
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we go to the root of the word we
find "wad," with the Specification of to
well, to wash out, to molsten or make
wet Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions Of
moisture, and many words besides
winter have grown out Of 1t. wet and
water being among them.
This root "wad'' Is in the Sanskrit as
"udan," water Anglo-Saxon has wac
ter" and in Latin we have "unda,"
wave. from which we get our 'inun-
date"
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the Nv" into ~" and have
winter" In Icelandic It is "vetlr."
and the old high German has win
tar" and II Is winter" IN German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base "wata," which means
wet. So II has been moisture that has
been Indicated from the birth OF the
root on which all Of the different words
