WOULD PROHIBIT D0G-EATlN0
Custom Common Among tho Igorots
ss Declared to Be Undesirable
for Many Reasons.

Those who remember the article in
this magazine 4 short time ago tell.
Ing of the cruclties connected with
Che killing Of dogs for food among the
Igorots, says Our Dumb Animals,
will be glad to know that 1t has
aroused sufficient interest to cause
the Mania Daily Bulletin to say, ac-
cording to Il clipping we have just re-
ceived:
"The office of the Department Of the
Interior is constantly receiving from
persons IN the United States. mostly
women. letters protesting against dog
eating In the mountain province
among the Igorots, 1t was declared by
Secretary Kaluw of the department.
All Of them. he said, urge that in the
interests OF civilization and better
and higher mode Of living, law
should be passed by the Philippine
legislature prohibiting the sale and
the use Of dogs as food material.
aside from the fact that the act
Of eating dogs Is highly undesirable,
the> letters state, 1t Is very inhumane.
The 1gorots. they state, like to cat
lean dogs and that the more bony
they are. the more palatable they
taste to the Igorots. Consequently,
~when dog is bought In the dog mar
ket at Basuio or ut any other place,

fore 1t Is eaten, the communications
declare,

law prohibiting the sale and the eat-
Ing Of dogs by the Igorots was In or

might be done in an indirect manner"

:. ARMENIAN GIRLS WE'RE SOLu
AS Wives After Being Brought to
America, According to Report.

Fresno, Cal, Jan. 19.--How six
beautiful Armenian women were
brought to the United States and
sold was disclosed Monday by Geo.
w. Moore, United States Immigration
commissioner. Harcotian Selvian, a
wealthy rancher, returned from Ar
menia recently. bringing seven pret-
ty women. Seivian married one OF
the women, according to the COM
missioner. and bartered the others to
wealthy members Of the Armenian
colony, just as in the slave marts of
the Orient.
When Selvian arrived in Fresno
with the women he announced that
he had married one Of them and
would sell the others, so Commits
Sioner Moore said his investigation
disclosed. The news spread rapidly,
and there was lively bidding among
members Of the colony.
One woman; the most beautiful
OF the sextette, was sold for $4,000.
The lowest price was $400. One of
the girls, possessed Of less good looks
than the others, is being held by Sell
Wan for favorable bid.
Selvian told the authorities that
the women were gathered from refu-
gee camps at Samson, Turkey, some
Of them from hospitals, and that he
had brought them with him because
he had been given money by friends
at Fresno to pay the transportation
Of brides to America, he to make the
selection.

CLEMSON COMAIISSARY-KITC

Clemson College, Jan. 1S.-Firc
this morning partially destroyed the
kitchen and commissary at Clemson
College. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, fully covered by insurance,
which was carried with the Sinking
Fund mission of the State. The
kitchen and commissary are attached
to Barracks No. /, the largest Of a
group Of three dormitory buildings.
For while this entire group was
threatened, but the splendid fire
lighting OF the corps Of cadets con-
fined the confiagration to its origi-
nal limits. There were no accidents.
While much Of the kitchen equip
ment was damaged or destroyed and
a considerable quantity Of supplies
burned, breakfast was served this
morning as usual. A holiday was de-
ckared in recognition Of the efficient
work OF the cadets, but otherwise
there will be no interruption in the
schedules. A temporary roof will be
constructed over the kitchen and
commi issary, and steps will be taken
at once TO replace such equipment as
is not usable. The tile floors and the
refrigerating plant were not dam
aged. The origin Of the fire has not
yet been determined.

slFT OUT THE UNDEsIRABLEs.
We Should Take Stock and See What
Is Best for tho Future.
Manufacturers Record. }

With hordes of alien peoples
eagerly awaiting opportunity, for ad-
mission TO this country we should at
once adopt adequate measures to sift
out the undesirables and the vicious.
There are from 100000 to IT,
100000 aliens here now-about one
seventh OF our entire population. Be-
fore we add to this enormous aggre-
gate we may we'll call halt so that
we can take stock, see where we
stand, and determine on the best
course for the future. The Johnson
bill, now before the Senate commit
tee on immigration. provides for the
stoppage Of immigration for year.
1t should be passed and become the
law Of the land.
In some quarters 1t Is urged that
America Is merely trustee for tho
world, and that we have no moral
right to shut our doors to the op-
pressed Of other lands. man hav-
ing home for his family may feel
that, to certain extent, he Is
trustee to help care for others, but
IL he throws open his house to the
weak and vicious, and those who
preach false doctrines as to family
lifo, he will destroy his own home,
and thus make it impossible for him
in the future to safeguard his fam
lily and to use his home as q point
from which to radiate Influences fol
good.
America represents q great home.
We can use its resources and it's
opportunities as trustees for the ben
eft Of the world, but II we throw 1t
wide open to all the vicious and the
inefficient and the beggars Of the
world, and those who teach doctrines
false to our sense of government and
permit aliens who are alien in their
Thought and word and life to our
country to take possession Of our
home, we will prove recreant to our
trusteeship; we will destroy our CIV
ihzation. and this great country, the
last hope Of human liberty, civil and
religious, will go down in ruin.
