Especial to the World.)

Especial to the World.)
Chicago, Dec. Frank Starr, pro-
fessor of anthropolOgy at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, in church lecture
here last night said:
I'm all the islands there is not
a tribe that is not capable of self
government. There can be no doubt
in any ones mind as TO the Christian
tribes, but even as to the savage l
think the words of the great repub-
lican will apply: No man is good
enough to rule another without that
mans consent
Oh you sal, but they are head
hunters and dog eaters They are.
But never could see why dog should
not make good food. They eat only
clean, white young male dogs. Why
should the idea of eating dog give
us the shivers, while the actual con-
sumption of swine does not turn the
Istomach of the daintiest lady?
why, do you know, l have seen
people in this country who would
eat raw oysters. l have done it my
|self. Think Of population who eat
raw oysters sneering at a people who
eat clean, cooked dog.
''As to head hunting, that is over
now, but when it existed it was re-
Iligious ceremony and does not COM
pare unfavorably with some religious
ideas prevalent in the United States.
But think of the turbulent Moros.
you say. Would we be turbulent if
foreigners invaded this country,
seized our lands and property, and
demande that we pay tribute? All
the Moros ask is to be let alone.
Il will give you an instance of
American government in the Philip
pines: A man who lived within a
stones throw of this church was
murdered by the Negrito hill men
last summer. In the newspapers a
day or two ago you read dispatch
from the islands saying that the body
had just been found.
ri know the truth about that in
cident. Not later than June 10 Of
this year 1 met the man who was
sent out to find that body on the
road tn Manila. He had it with him
then. But it was not evpedient that
you should hear the truth about it
before election. Now comes a faxed
dispatch. This is an example of
American statecraft, imperialism and
censorship that we are inflicting on
the Philippines"

A Division of Purpose.

Some years ago the Yankee schooner

The captain glared at him.

they heard of the arrest.
The trouble between the two part
ners has been brewing for months,
and just a month ago Mr.. Hamlet
gave up his active interest in the

voting his time to the development OF
the mill property at Port Angeles.

dent Hull. "Mr. Elder came to me
and asked me to 60 to the bank with
him to examine this stock. 1 imme-
diately pronounced the certificate a
forgery. This was two days ago.
Then we went to a lawyer, and 1t
was he that gave the information to
the Office of the prosecuting attorney.
NV name, the number and the
amount of the certificate were all
forged. The certificate was for 500
shares with a par value of $4,000.

Men Should Brush Their Hair More


Very few men brush their hair
enough" said a downtown barber.
Fact. Most ills of the scalp can b,
traced to that fault You see it's this
way: A man is generally in a hurry
when he dresses, and he never takes
time to brush his hair-simply smooths
it down, generally only with a comb
and as result dandruff is allowed to
accumulate and trouble begins. Now.
with woman it's different A woman
has to carefully brush her hair at least
once day. If she didn't it would be
pretty mess. It's very length saves
her, for in brushing it each day she
gets out all sorts Of impurities, dan
druff and the like, all of which is for
her own good. Now, that is the chief
reason why fewer women suffer from
dandruff than the unfortunate mem
bers Of the opposite sex. and it is also
the reason why the hair is a woman's
GROWING glory even If she is fair.
fat and forty. So brush your hair
every morning thoroughly if you want
to keep in the swim."-Philadelph
