Will Irwin, magazine writer and
associated with the Progressive nat
ional headquarters, asked Col Roose-
welt a question as the Progressive
candidate started his swing through
the northwest. He asked the Colonel
how it was that he, member of the
Fifth avenue set in New York, born
and reared with class feeling, had
come to be the leader of movement
which is for every man and woman,
without consideration of class and
wealth." What the Colonel answered,
as put down by Will Irwin, follows
in part:
1--WE have all changed our old views.
That is what the Progressive move
ment means. The two generations
thought differently. Progressivism is
the thought of new generation.
Hardly one of us Progressives but is
in a sense a convert-we all did con-
scientiously in those days something
or other which we would shudder to
contemplate now.

lie and university ideas. Being good
was a matter of philanthropy-giv

HEAL tn CONDITIONS
GOOD ON ISLANDS
Conference Hears Reports
from Many Men Who
Know Conditions.

LAKE NOBONK, Oct. 28.-Address-
es by Colonel L. Marvin Maus, the
first commissioner of health of the
Philippine Islands, the Rev. James
B. Rodgers, pastor of the Presbyterian
Mission, P. l., and Major John P. Fin
ley, governor of the district of Fan
Zoanga, p. l., were delivered before
the delegates to the Lake Mohonk
Conference of friends o fthe Indians
and other dependent people which
was recently in session here.
Colonel Maus stated that little at
tention was paid to sanitation by the
Spanish Philippine authorities during
their control. The colonel stated that
the old death list of 5000 daily during
epidemics of disease has been cut
down to a figure that compared well
with the vital statistics of any part
of the United States. He reviewed
the means by which this transforms
ton had been made at length.
The Rev. Doctor Rodgers spoke of
the strange religion prevalent among
the Philippine Islands. He stated that
although Christianity had been ad.
vanced by the Spaniards and Ameri-
cans alike, it had made little impress
sion in outlying districts.
The address of Major Finley dealt
chiefly with the Moros. Major Finley
said in part: 1.-THE establishment of
civil government in the Philippines in
1903 still left function for the army
to perform in the control of the Moros
of the Southern Islands similar to
that which has long been performed
in relation to the Indian tribes of the
western part of the United States
Major General Leoneard Wood, U. s.
A., the first governor of Moro Prov
1nce, in his dual capacity of civil adj
ministrator and military commander
laid the foundations deep and stable
for the uplifting of the savage people
of the Moro country.
The isolation and peculiar religious
prejudices of the Moro and Pagan
tribes, coupled with their barbaric
state, make school progress difficult
task. The racial prejudices of the
Moros and Pagans against the Phil
ippino prevents the latter from engag
ing in the work of instruction. Yet
the hold upon the masses by the ig
norant, fanatical and vicious native
priests can be broken and replaced by
a more enlightened and progressive
knowledge of the truths and virtues
of modern Mohammedanism. A Moro
ignorant of his true obligations to
Islam, and therefore to his fellowmen
is serious menace to his people and
to the government.
Hand in hand with the properly
adapted system of mental develop
ment of these people must go theiI
Industrial evolution. The availability
of these people for material develop
ment has been shown by the success
of the Moro exchange system inaugu
rated at Zamboanga in 1904. The bas
is of the system is a commercial ar
rangement of public markets and
trading stores that enables tho Moros
and Pagans to secure for products OF
their labor, the current market price
in cash, and protects them by govern
ment supervision from exploitation
and the evils of the vicious credit
system of the old Spanish regime

"Wizacd of the Golden Nose" While
at the university he lost his nose in

WHY THE FIFTH MAN LEFT
He Wore Wi and the Other Four
Men at the Table Were Bald
and laxative.

In the smoking room Of a west
bound ocean liner two days out from
an English port five men sat at a
small game" Of poker. When the
chips had been cashed in the men re-
tanned their places, and presently one
of the party said: This is funny;
four bald heads out of a possible
five," and then there was a discussion
as to the causes of badness, in which
all took part except the unaffected
man.. who was a good listener for a
while. He then b&de the others good
night. When he had gone the young
est Of the group, who was less bald
than the others, said: do you know
why Mr.. Blank made the getaway?
He wears a wig, and is probably as
bald as any of U.s." And for the rest
of the journey Mr.. Blanks head was
the object of study-at a distance
for he never again appeared in the
smoking room.

Excellence in health is a necessary
factor if the work of the house is to
be kept up Systematically and no
care that will accomplish this state
should be considered too little to OBJ
serve. Instead of feeling like a right
eous martyr in giving up health for
ones household in its manifold cares,
the loss of health should rather be
looked upon as the evident signs of
failure condition to be depIored
certainly and to be remedied imme-
diately. Since it is worry more often
than work that breaks women down,
and worry is fretting over things,
whatever can be done to remove the
cause Of worry will be as first aid to
the injured and will be one step in
the direction of perfecting health.
Love Of money is the root of all evil,
it is said, and we might add that lack
of money is the root of all worry.
Certainly Economy of money is often
wastefulness Of life" This trouble
some lack can be removed only in
either of two ways, by increasing the
size of the income or by wiser ex-
penditure of it as it exists. To fol-
low the second plan, and it is the
more important one, the first step is
to fix ones standard of living and
know just where ones family belong
in the scale of civilization. The next
step is to make a proper division of
the income according to the various
needs as controlled by such a stan
dard, and then the last and hardest
step in the ladder will be the keeping
of the expenditures within the proper
divisions.
If a proportionate division of the
income is to be made and kept up, it
can only be satisfactorily done by
making a permanent record of it. To

suffer from drought more quickly than
though it had been plowed shallow.
The loose soil dries out and capil-
larity is broken, preventing the fur
row-slice from receiving moisture
from the subsoiI rapidly enough to
sustain the growing crop. The depth
and frequency of blowing should vary
according to the nature of the soil
A light or sandy soil requires less
depth of blowing and less frequent
blowing than a heavy, or compact
clayey or "gumbO" soil
As q general proposition, blowing
should be shallow when it precedes
planting only short time.
Pillow deep in the fall, and ploW deep
for summer fallow
a long interval between blowing
and seeding allows the soil to settle
sufficiently, while freezing and thaw-
ing mellows the raw, hard subsoII
which has been brought to the sur
face
The relative depths of blowing may
be stated as follows:
Shallow blowing. 3 to 4 inches.
Medium blowing. ) to inches.
Deep blowing ...7 to inches.
Flowing deeper than 8 inches with
the common pillow is not usually prac-
ticabIe, but the soil may be stirred
u to Is inches deep with a deep till
age plow or subsoil pillow, and in heavy
soil with hard compact subsoil, such
deep stirring may occasionally be de-
sirable
When land is allowed to lie for a
considerable period after blowing be
fore the crop is planted. the settling
of the soil, together with the surface
cultivation to preserve the mulch and
the cementing due TO rain, usually
causes the soil to repack and firm up
to a sufficient extent TO make a good
seed-bed.
