instruction, though secondary, Is in

that several seasons" at these assem-

program for Chautauqua, for example,
announces eighty.two lecturers, twelve
readers and sixteen musicians. The
lectures cover religious topics, social

Recitals. concerts, athletics games are

MUTINY IN THE PHILIPPINES.

The recent mutiny In company Of
Philippine constabulary, stationed at
Davao, in the extreme southern part
of the archipelago, appears to have
been wholly due to local causes and
without political significance. Gamer
on Forbes, the acting Governor-Gen-
eral. declares that the affair has not
shaken his faith in the general excel
lence and loyalty OF the force. Ger
tainly these native troops have repeat.
eddy shown their efficiency In policing
the Islands, and there has been only
one other notable instance OF insub-
ordination since they were organized
in 1898. Nevertheless, many observ.
ers OF Philippine affairs insist that
the loyalty of the Philippine troops is
more loyalty to their immediate Off,
GERS than to the cause in which they
are engaged or TO the flag which they
follow. II Is urged that at heart they
are antagonistic to American rule, and
not TO be relied upon In a serious cri.
sis. Other nations have had varying
experiences with native soldiers in
distant lands which have come under
their control. Ancient Rome used
them, and In modern times Great
Britain has had to depend on their as
sIstance. The Sepoy mutiny in 1857
Is one OF the most memorable in
stances OF the rebellion Of such troops.

A MUCH DEBATED QUESTION.

as we'll as for Hector. Youth has its
advantages. and age has its own, and
the old head on young shoulders Is
too great rarity to depend on for
the running OF the business OF the
world. But 1t is noticeable that the
cry for young blood" once more prev.
alent than now, comes mostly from
lips that are old. 1T is a crime to be
old" said an old man caustically to
another who refused him employment
on that account-"unless one is an EN-.

SOME MORE BRITISH PENSIONS.

In commenting on the pension Of
$3.50 a week which has been granted
by the British government to each Of
the four granddaughters Of Charles
Dickens the New York World says
that. although It is a mere pittance, It
furnishes no basis for an indictment
Of the British public on the score Of
a lack Of generosity to the descend.

ty is under obligations to genius Is no
reason why II should assume the sup.
port Of the posterity Of genius. and

tiers have no more claim on its bounty
than the children OF statesmen. In.

sibly the claim may have been assert.
ed and recognized in divers classes Of
cases. and in any event the question
can hardly be affected by the amount
Of the pension. A pittance would Of.

THE WEST IS THE GOAL.

New Workers who sought to get rail.
way accommodation from Chicago to
the Pacific coast In June were told
they would have to give three or four
weeks notice before room could be
found for them. All trains running
to the West were crowded. and space
in them was reserved for that length
OF time ahead. Three reasons for this
unusual condition were given by the
railway managers: That many ma.

IN JAIL FOR DEBT
AT ONE TIME THERE WERE MANY
SUCH IN AMERICA.
Seventy-Five Thousand Unfortunates
Annually Deprived of Liberty az
Late as the Year 1929-Most-
Iy Owed Small Sums.

In 1929 it was estimated that $4,000
persons were annually imprisoned for
debt in the United States, and at that
date the practice had been abolished
In at least two states. namely, Ohio
and Kentucky. In 1880 the estimated
number Of individuals imprisoned on
account of debt was: In Massachu-
sets, 5000; in New York, 10000; in
Pennsylvania, 1000; in Maryland,
5000, or total of $4,000 in four
states. ..
The average Of the debts for which
persons were deprived of their liberty
was small-under $50. In the jail at
Dedham, Norfolk county, Mass, out Of
total Of So debtors confined within
it's walls only nine owed more than $50
and 16 owed ten dollars or less.
A local society for the relief Of
debtors confined for small debts pro-
cured the release of Is persons whose
debts added together amounted to only
1892, an average of less than nine
dollars.
In jail located at Hudson, y. ", IN
the course of the year ended Septem-
Der 20, 1880, a total of 169 persons
were committed for debts; of this
number 49 were held for rum debts"
In Philadelphia 40 cases were recorded
in which the sum total of the debts
was only $23.40A-an average of less
than 60 cents each.
In one of these cases." quotes The
Yale Review, "a man was imprisoned
80 days for a debt Of two cents. We
observe in an English paper a notice
Of widow who is confined in
jail In Providence for the unpardon-
able sin of owing 68 cents"
James Bell, keeper Of the debtors
jail in New York, in q document sub
mitted to the state senate stated that
in 1916 729 persons were confined to
the jail under his control for debts
under $25 each. Nearly all of these
would, he asserted. have starved ex-
cept for the bounty of the Humane
society. Bell himself was compelled
TO beg for fuel to keep them from
freezing.
He specifically mentions the cases Of
Dins Lyman, imprisoned for three
years for debt of less than $50, and
or George Riley, imprisoned for six
years, also for debt of less than $50
Both of the men were supported while
imprisoned by charity. In ether states
AS Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
the creditor was required to provide
for the board of the imprisoned debtor
When this was not forthcoming the
debtor was discharged.
