large number of the families have
children which are left fatherless.

PARIS, Feb. a. Several cases OF

water from the city's usual supply

of the American, was after all. a foreign yoke. which they desired to have removed. It was a constant seouree of humiliation for the people of the islands to feel that they were subjects of a power without the possibility of becoming citizens and have voice in the shaping of the laws under which they are governed as a colonial possession. ..
 While the appeal of the Philippine delegate will no doubt find sympath- etic response among many Americans who believe that the country would be well rid of an incubus that is profiting it nothing and may at any moment involve it in foreign com plications. still the fact remains that the controlling forces in the United States are opposed to any disposition of the island which would loosen the control which is now exercised over them. The appeal has, in fact, fallen on deaf ears as far as Congress is concerned. Says the New oreans Picayune.
 The one weak point about accord ns independence to the Philippines is the fear that if independent they would not be able to maintain their autonomy without the assistance and protection of the United States. Cuba. which now holds that relation to us. is sufficiently heavy burden. with o'h undertaking the more serious one in the case of a domain so far remov- ed as the Philippines. To be re- sponsible foy the autonomy and good behavior of the Philippines, without any authority or power over them. would be an intolerable burden.
 Were the islands to be granted independence outright. without an American protectorate or any re sponsibiiity on our part for their future administration. it would be tanamount to turning them over 10 any foreign power strong enough to take and hold them. Left to them selves the islands would soon lapse into a state of unrest and revolution. which would invite foreign aggress- ion.

 Hamilton, however. is expected to Siye the most convincing demonstra-
 ton of the aeroplane as an engine of
 war. He is considered one of the
 most daringly proficient air navigat. ors in the world. and upon him will l rest the responsibility of showing the
 "doubting Thomases" of our govern ment. as well as the military at taehes of other powers, that the aero plane can be used to throw projec.

LIVING ON NERVE.

An enterprising individual in New York has filed petition in bankruptcy and the schedule shows that he has liabilities of s23.0OO and assets of s25. The list of creditors shows that the bankrupt was a good liver and enjoyed a goodly portion of the lux uries of life. although he had no visible means of support
 A man must be a genius at blk ing to be able to travel so far in debt with no capital except cold nerve. There is a considerable number of such men in the world and to their fellows who labor arduogsly and regularly they are a source Of con stant wonder. How can they do it? To the mind of the man who believes | in personal effort and in honorable dealings with the rest of mankind there is no possible explanation. It is simply incomprehensible.
 It may be that swindlers. like poets. are born not made. Undoubted ly it must require no small degree ] of capability to buy food and clothing and jewelry and flowers and books and automobiles and stationery and golf outfits and paintings and hundreds of other articles, as this man did, on mere assurance and with no prospect or expectation Of paying for them. What a happy time he must have had dodging bill collectorsl
 It must be a peculiar sort of man who can enjoy a life like that in preference to some "gainful occupa- tion.' It must require a tremendous amount of mental labor and a cores bonding amount of physical side steping to flourish on an income re- presented by a cipher. It would be a pretty bad world to live in if per sons of this bankrupt's peculiar class were sufficiently numerous to re. present anything more than a feeble, but rather troublesome minority. To one who has any sense of obliga tion, any conception of duty, such a career of dead-beating would be fr. finitely less preferable than the mOnotonous process of shoyelins mud. breaking rock or pounding sand
