Animal So Constructed That He Does

The hog is so Constructed that he
does not sweat, or perspire, but must
cool his body either in the shade in
moderate weather or in water during
high temperatures; so. just as it is
natural for the duck to swim, the hen
to scratch, or the mule to kick, so it
is for the hog to wallow.

THE WET P~HILIPPINDA

The drought which has parched
ether territory within jurisdiction OF
the United States has not extended
TO the Philippinee-yet. In answer
70 an inquiry as to whether or not the
Philippine archipelago was included
In the operation of the prohibition
law tie. office of the attorney general
in Washington replied that the ques-
tion was one for the courts to decide.
And there the matter rests. In the
meantime, thirst continues to be
Quenched throughout the Philippines
IN the customary manner The Philip
pine legislature is described as hav-
ing decidedly wet procHvities, and has
) III ne. arrangements for the indeflnite
continuation Of the license system.
The only change notes is that the
manufacture and sale Of liquors are
more heavily taxed. this being due
not to prohibition leanings, but to
the need for more revenue This
need is felt as acutely in the Philip
pines as elsewhere.
The exact status Of the Philippines
under our system is something
not easy for the ordinary citizen to
understand. The problem has al
ways been more or less perplexing.
The acquisition of the islands was our
first essay in colonial government.
and it was regarded with deep mis-
givings by a great many people: When
Ii was announced that although the
islands were to be under the juris-
dictlon of the United States, their
people were not to be admitted to the
privileges of citizenship. Mr.. Bryan
went about the country declaiming,
"You will not have them as citizens,
and you shall not have them as
~slaves!" 1t was a good round SEN
tence, and it sounded well, for Mr..
Bryan has a fine voice. 1t always
brought a hearty round of applause.
But the applause has exhausted itself
before election day of that year.
Then there was j. Gray, a brilliant
fellow, who died too soon. At that
time he vas mayor Of Minneapolis.
The country was debating OF whether
or not the constitution follows the
nag. Jim answered tho question.
Fl n constitution oes follow the
hag," said he, but at q respectful dis
lance"
Nevertheless, in these twenty years
the Philippines have made great pro-
sress. Their people have advanced
wonderfully on the road to civiliza-
ton and the conception of what civil
ltzation . They have made a
creditable advance in municipal
self-governnnent In their central
government appears to be functioning
we'll. What would be the situation
were the stabilizing influence of the
United States removed is another
B question.
