brown man because he belongs to
a past age, while we take his lands
in payment for the task Of uplift-
ing him,-to civilization, the
American brand. We send our
missionaries from the hive where
hides the worlds highest murder
rate to convert docile peoples Of
races where murder, rape, and
prostitution stand at the foot of
the crime column.
Civilized surgeons work them
selves into a frenzy trying to save
the life of the would-be suicide
who has committed murder. At
terward the prosecuting attorney
labors for a year and civilized
government squanders fat sums in
an attempt to wipe out the self
same life on the gallows.
One form of civilization caters
to policemen and secret service
organizations to support it. An
other flourishes without these
guardians. The white man who
returns to the solitudes of the
jungles quickly relapses into
what civilization calls savagery.
He merely becomes himself again.
After all a simple twist of the
Wrist, so to say, can carry us from
our highly Wanted plane back to
the cave era, for after all civiliz-
alton is a very thin veneer that
wears off quickly when the seee-
ty break is loosed.
Man from a genetic standpoint
is still a wild animal. Civilization
may help him to fly, it may pro-
long life, it may show him broad
er fields to conquer, but the basic
formation,-the animal,-will ev-
err remain. The ladies Of one land
may effect leg-binding to make
them charming. For their weak
ness we may be rude enough to
call them savage. Yet leg-binding
is as sensible as waist-binding
Only civilized persons resort to
the kiss. The people who rub
noses are called barbarians. But
this don't stop them when they
want to rub.

| About II 100 o'clock last Tuesday

On the drill engine, at work On an
additional well for the city water
supply, announced that the anticipat-
ed vein Of 'er had been struck,
and The entire immunity heaved a
sigh Of relief and toox another drink
-of water. The vein was opened
al a depth of 245 feet and the water
arose 127 feet in the we'll. A ball

The new we'll vas drilled by II. P.
O'ConnOr and son and is said by the
local manager of the Grangeville
Electric Light & PoEer Co., vho had
it installed, to be one of the best he
ever saw in his considerable expert

The hrss vein vas tapped at 4
depth of loo feet and two others
we're passed through between that

clear and as cold as any from the
finest mountain spring.
The need of this additional water
supply has been felt for some time,
but became exceedingly pressing
during the long drouth this summer,
when at times the old we'll has fur
