The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-06-19

rational because it offers to the body
what it needs in the easiest assimil-
able form, probably never imagined
how much dust it would kick up in
scientific and unscientific circles. I'll
is safe to say that no scientist really
took that remark seriously, but when
the unlearned crowd became hysteri-
cal at the mere thought of the sug-
gestion supposed to be implied in the
utterance, the men of science con-
sidered it their duty to don their
spectacles and skull-caps and enter
into critico-analytica discussion of
the subject, just as if it has been
meant seriously. Every day the news
papers are deluged with literary con-
tributions from mostly incompetent
critics who express their horror at
the inhumanity and barbarism of the
supposed advocate of cannibalism.
Quite apropos of this acrimonious
discussion of the advisability and
dietetic merits of cannibalism the
papers gave considerable space the
other day to a farewell dinner given
to a number of missionaries on the
eve of their departure for the wilds
of darkest Africa. There is a grue-
some suggestiveness in giving mis-
sionaries a good meal before sending
them to tribes who do not consider
cannibalism a mere joke and prac-
tice it without, for single moment.
worrying over its ethical aspect.
There is not now, in all probable
ity, man more unpopular among
suffragettes of either sex than Bishop
William Croswell Doane and he may
as well resign all hope of ever becom-
ing the candidate for president of the
United States on the suffragette tick
ct. In his address to the graduating
class of st. Agnes school in Albany
he characterized the now woman"
campaign as a thysterical calamor
employed in the pursuit of a Chin
era In fact, he expressed himself
with far greater severity and called
the new woman" a ''lusus naturae,
monstrum horrendum informe" or
some such thing, equally horrible
and shocking. Since then the re-
marks of Bishop Doane have been Sc
verely criticized by suffragettes and
even by some persons not in favor of
the suffrage movement. One of the
latter critics remarked in an inter
view, THE remarks of Bishop Doane
were, to say the least, highly undip-
lomatic. Most men share the bishop
opinion, but they are too diplomatic
or, call it chivalrous, to express
themselves so bluntly."
One of the most methodical men
on record seems to be man from
Seattle who is stopping at one OF the
fashionable hotels on Fifth avenue.
| But even his remarkable methodical
habits did not prevent him from los
ing a well-filled pocketbook the other
day 1t was afterward found in the
cafe of the hotel by the house detec-
tive In addition to a number of
small bills there were 40 ten-dollar
bills snugly packed away in separ-
ate division of the pocketbook, fas-
tened with a button. The bills were
divided into small groups, which
were tagged with the names of tall
ors, shoemakers, cigar dealers, and
other persons to whom the owner of
the pocketbook evidently owed
money. Each package bore the date
on which the bills were to be met.
The dates on the tags ranged from
June Is to September so that the
owner evidently expected to carry
the money around with him and for
ward it as the bills became due.

of their greatest Yiddish poets, whose
names do not look we'll in print and
sound worse, are on their way 90
America to give a series of readings
of their own works in New York and
a few other cities. Nothing definite
is known concerning the plans of the
two visitors, but there is an uncon-

for the far west, to take charge of
the Yiddish branch of the School of
Poets which Joaquin Miller pro-
poses to establish there in the near
future.
