Primitive Philosophy.

Animism is the name of theory originally propounded by Stahl. about l707. It asserts that the soul is the vital principle and only cause of life, and that the functions of plant and animal life depend upon this principle Of vitality, and not mere mechanical and chemical action. As the word is now used, it denotes the general doc Urine of spiritual beings. It is not itself religion, but a sort of priEi' tive philosophy.

POLICEMEN GET 4 RAISE.
flremRn Are Also Remembered First
Year Of the Commission.

A Substantial increase in salar-
les Of police and fire depart
ments, and the addition of four
new men to the police force,
were the recommendations Tues
day night Of the police and fire
commission in the first annual
report made to the board of al
dermen.
The board was in special ses-
sion and received the report of
the commission which is just now
giving the city the benefit of its
first attempt under the commits
sion plan Of government. The
first year unquestionably shows
up well. The aldermen COM
mended the commissioners for
their work and ordered their
suggestions be made the law.
All of the raises in salaries are
worth while. The first sergeant
is paid SIS, while the patrolmen
and the desk sergeant are to re-
ceive $40 each. This is from z
to SO dollars more than the pa
trolling officers have been re-
ceiving and it was needed.
In the fire department there is
a raise that has been asked more
than once. The assistant chief
of the department is to receive
along with the captain of COM
pany No. 2 and the three drivers,
IS increase in salary and the
salaries of the electrician, the
stoker and the five regulars. will
be increased $40.

such as gambling. but they know
they could not convict in many
cases that come under their OBJ
servalion and If they could it
would only be a matter of a
short time when they would lose
their job If they did. so they see
things going on and are power
less to make the arrests or tell

be taken from them.

the civic association is doing a
good work in seeking to have

publish his name if he did not

AMERICANS
ASKING FOR
: PROTECTION

Austin, Tex, Nov. 1s.-In a letter
to a local newspaper, A. e. Earnest, a
prominent American resident Of Qua
dalajara, Mex, says: THE anttAmer'
lean feeling is so strong that at the
least ~provocation Americans are har-
raised, insulted and in some cases
their liberty is jeopardized. This con-
dition has existed for months but is In
creasing.
1.-THE seriousness of the position is
not realized by our home folks, and as
suredly our much vaunted home gov
eminent Is proving a weakltng. The
authorities had due notice of the~in-
tended demonstration against Amer
leans, and while certain places were
protected the police made no effort to
protect the remainder.
rs It not time our honfe govern
ment sent q few warships to the Mex
lean ports and stopped this Alphonse
and CASTOR mode of dealing with this
question by using a bit Of the big stick
diplomacy, and emphatically demand
ing that we be protected, and that all
discrimination against us because we
are Americans be stopped"
