By SAMUEL FALLOWS.
(Bishop of Chicago and .Voted Bdn-
rational Authority.)
There shortly comes from the Phil
ippines a man who has a valuable
and timely message for the American
people. He Is Dean C. Worcester,
recently Secretary of the Interior,
the American who has had the long
est and moet Intimate contact with
Philippine affairs.
Many years before our war with
Spain, when to the popular American
mind Manila and the Philippines
were Indefinite and hasy points on
the map, Mr. Worcester made two
extended tours of the archipelago.
As a member of scientific expedi
tions, gathering data and specimens,
he twice traveled the length of the
group given into our keeping, and
when President McKinley needed the
counsel and assistance of men of
knowledge, Dean Worcester was one
of the first to whom he turned.
President McKinley appointed him
a member of the Schurmann Com
mission. and when William Howard
Taft was chosen to found civil gov
ernment in the Philippines he con
tinued him as member of the com
mission, which remains to this day
as the senior governing body In the
Islands,
Mr. Worcester was made Secretary
of the Interior in the Government in
stituted by McKinley and approved
by Congress, and continuously re
tained the post until & week ago
Monday, when he resigned to make
way for a man chosen by the Wil
son Administration.
In this capacity he organised and
directed the Bureaus of Health,
Land, Forestry and Science, besides
becoming the guardian of the million
non-Christian tribesmen numbered
among our wards In the Orient. Taft,
Wright, Ide, Smith, Moses and other
veteran administrators of the Phil
ippine Government finished their la
bors and passed to other fields, but
Worcester remained fourteen years.
Notable Service to Nation.
Dean Worcester's service to the
nation has been a notable one In
many respects, but his guardianship
opthc wild men, an extraordinary tale
of service and adventure, must make
the largest, appeal to us at home. The
Spanish Government and the Chris
tian peoples of the Philippines appear
to have given themselves little con
cern as to their wild neighbors. A
few hardy and devoted missionaries
ventured among them, but contact
seeing to have been largely accidental
and occasional.
The largest groups of non-clvillzed
peoples Inhabit the province of North
Luzon, living In wildly picturesque
and formerly inaccessible mountains.
These superb but primitive peoples
have engaged in Inter-tribal warfare
throughout their history and this ter
rible condition was accentuated by the
repulsive practice of taking and pre
serving as house ornaments the heads
of thefr enemies. From this custom
they derived the name of headhunters.
Their feuds were both tribal and per
sonal. and all the people were touched
by the malign hand of vengeance and
fear.
Rapacity had marked the attitude
of the Christian Filipino in his deal
ings with these unhappy children of
the mountains, and when Worcester
and his men went among them they,
too, were received as enemies. Their
first greetings were challenges to bat
tles, and It was only through superb
.courage that they won a hearing in
the flr**t place, while endless patience
and Infinite tact were necessary to
the establishment of the confidence
and friendship w-hich has resulted in
the acceptance by the wild people of
civilized law.
Worcester not only won and re
tained the friendship of the wild peo
ple, but brought peace to them and
turned their thoughts and hands to
the more useful things of life. War-
LDVf "CALIFORNIA
| lilT 1 * were brought together tn
friendly relationship and the rivalry
or athletics took the place of forays,
ochools were started, Industry and
husbandry encouraged and the once
inaccessible mountains w’ere bisected
and crosscut with roads and trails,
largely constructed by the wild men
themselves. Occasionally a head is
taken, but the custom may be said to
have almost disappeared.
Under the old order the men were
so busy fighting that farming was
neglected and frequently large num
bers of people were in want. The
termination of warfare, individual and
collective, has sent thousands of men
back to the fields and the food supply
is now always ample to meet all the
needs of the people and leave a con
siderable annual surplus.
Gained Their Friendship.
The wild tribe relationship In the
Philippines offered at the beginning a
veritable hornets’ nest of trouble for
the United States Government, the
possibilities of which are strikingly
Illustrated by the experience of the
Japanese in Formom and the Dutch
in Java, where costly and endless war
has been waged against the hlllmen.
Had the die been cast for war rather
than peace with the hlllmen of the
Philippines It would have been a
formidable and endless task to con
quer and control them. The tribes are
numerous and their men are big, up
standing fellow's, born of forebears
who never knew' peace. Fear Is not a
quality of their warriors, and they
would have been a troublesome en
emy.
In gaining their friendship Worces
ter and his men rendered large serv
ice to their country and the cause of
civilization and set In motion ft work
that is unique in the whole relation
ship between civilization and sav
agery These peoples have great pos
sibilities of development and there
falls to the successors of Dean
Worcester in the Philippines an im
portant duty to carry forward the
task upon which he made such a
splendid beginning.
The most Important relationship
that Dean Worcester has had toward
I the rest of the Filipino people has
been on the side of sanitation and
science.
It w'as necessary to wage the bat
tle from many sides. The first requi
site was an up-to-date scientific in
stitution that would furnish the best
fighting material, and there was cre
ated, under Worcester’s direction, a
great laboratory that has won more
acclaim In Europe than it haasin the
United States.
Another necessity was a modem
school of medicine and surgery that
would train Filipinos to minister to
the needs of their own people, and
such an Institution w'as founded. Hos
pitals were another dire necessity,
and these were created. Clinics were
another need, and these were pro
vided. Nurses were needed every
where, and training schools for
young Filipino women w'ere started
Thousands of lepers were scattered
throughout the archipelago, and these
were slowly gathered in a great col
ony founded at Cullon Island. Slowly
through the years there was a steady
gain against disease and the opposi
tion of the people; only a decade was
necessary finally to turn the tide.
Hospitals and clinics which once
aroused the fear of the people and
were deserted are now unable to
meet their daily demands. Manila
General Hospital is now the largest
and busiest institution in the capital
and the Manila Free Clinic has grown
to be the third largest in the world.
Dean Will Tell of Ftllpi.-.o#.
Freed from long official service and
the restraints which it consciously
and unconsciously imposes, Dean
Worcester is coming home to talk to
the country about the Philippines. He
says that he Intends to travel from
coast to coast telling what he knows
about the islands and their peoples,
and his message is going to be worth
hearing. He knows more about his
subject than any other living man.
Mr. Worcester ha# prepared a se
ries of nine addresses, and their sub
jects are as follows: "Among the
Wild Tribes of the Philippines,’’ "The
Headhunters of Northern Luzon,"
‘ What the United States Has Done
for the Wild Tribes of the Philip
pine Islands,” "Forest Resources of
the Philippine Islands," "Commercial
Possibilities of the Philippine Is
lands,” ‘‘Health Work in the Philip
pine Islands," "Educating the Fili
pinos,” "Modem Manila," and "Is
Philippine Independence a Present
Possibility?” ^ ,
To supplement and Illuminate his
lectures Mr. Worcester lias made an
extraordinary collection of Philippine
motion pictures. These cover in
striking manner the wild tribes, as
well as many other features of Island
life.

WASHINGTON. Sept. lS.—The
storm of criticism aroused against
William Jennings Bryan on account of
his “trouping" as one of the principal
attractions of a tent show has
reached tremendous proportions in
official Washington.
Even those who had attempted lo
pass over his announcement that he
would have to lecture to supplement
the salary of $12,000 a year which
he receives as Secretary of State have
had no word of defense, when the
critic# of the President’s premier point
out that the dignity of the United
States and the dignity of the Demo
cratic party must suffer when a man
in Bryan’s position is a paid perform
er of a troupe appearing under a
canvas top in the small towns of
Pennsylvania and other Eastern
States.
Viee With Yodlers.
Throughout this week the Secretary
of State has appeared on the stage
under the tent between the act of a
company of Tyrolean yodlers and a
moving picture exhibit, while other
performers on the same program are
a troupe of ‘‘Florentine" musicians, a
gypsy violinist, and a soprano singer,
who Is billed under the striking nams
of Mile. Mlllicent Melrose.
It is true that the tent under which
he makes his nightly address has the
word "Chautauqua" printed on it. It
1b likewise true, though, that the show
carries canvasmen, ticket sellers, con
cessionaires and all the other force of
a modern circus.
At Glendolden, Pa., the Secretary
of State was compelled to enter th>
tent between the stands of shrieking
peanut venders and lusty-lunged lem
onade merchants.
"Ice cream cones and brick Ice
cream!” These cries greeted Mr. Bry
an as he came up tn an automobile
that was parked with half a hundred
more on the old circus lot where the
Chautauqua tent was pitched.
"There Isn’t Any Elephant."
A little boy who insisted upon hav
ing peanuts as he wag dragged along
by his mother declared he wanted
them to feed the elephant.
"There Isn't any elephant, Willie
Raid his mother.
"Yes, there is; they got a tent," lie
walled as she moved on with him to
where the crowd was in line.
There must have been several pei
sons under the same impression as to
the use to which the tent was being
put, because the almost incessant
cracking of well-roasted goobers in
the rear seats punctuated the lecture
of the Secretary and at times made
M ISS TSABET, GRATIS, Gypsy violinist of the Bryan show,
and (below) Secretary Bryan, the chief attraction,
leaving the tent.

BERLIN, Rept. 18—Secretary Bry
an’s plan to work the vaudeville cir
cuit has evoked much derisive com
ment in the German press.
The dignified Vosslche Zeltung says
Bryan has a fine buerne* talent, rf
it were not known that Bryan will not
serve a drop of wine, even to diplo
mats. It adds, "one would be tempted
to believe this idea of organizing a
circus wa» due to a moment of jovial
stimulation."
The Revest© Nachrlchten suggests
Mr. Bryan Is trying to show that
America's poorly paid public officials
are obliged “either to steal or adopt
Bryan methods.”
Strange Series of Movements of

CANDY CATHARTIC
It difficult for those in the extreme
rear seats to hear clearly.
The really disappoint©^ boys, how
ever. were those who carried water
for the band and the other talent to
get free'tickets and those who crawled
in under the canvas who found the
show not up to expectations to the
Juvenile portion of the crowd.
Lament of a C«nva*man.
One of the canvasmen who had a
seat along the side of the tent wall
surrounding the lot aired his woes
while Mr. Bryan was speaking.
"I’m sorry I Joined," he walled.
"This ain't a regular show, and the
boss canvasman is a Swarthmore
student What he don’t know about
putting up a big tent would fill a
book. What they ought to do with
this business is take there here
Tyroleans That boy champion is
good and is as fine a yodler as there
is In the business, and I have been
seeing concerts with circuses for a
long time way back with the Sells
show. They ought to take and con
solidate them and that band and then
go into Philly and get a good lot and
play two a day right along.
Bryan Could Commute.
"Mr. Bryan could commute from
Washington. We oould let him close
the afternoon show and put him on
number one for the night show, and
we would get some money. These
people are amateurs. I’m sorry I
Joined out. You see the way It was.
I used to be with the old Forepaugh
show, and when I saw the tent I just
naturally asked for work."
Contrary' to the general opinion, the
artists dividing time with Bryan and
holding the crowd until he arrives do
not feel particularly puffed up over
the fact that ^hey are on the same
bill with him.
Gus Oechner, the champion yodler,
at Media, this afternoon, was con
gratulated on getting a bigger hand
than Mr. Bryan at the close of his
act.
"That ain't much," said another.
“Anna Umley got a better hand than
he did on her zither act."
"No, we are not sore at his taking
the spotlight," said one of the troupe,
after changing to street clothes and
taking his make-up off. "Mr. Gratis,
our manager, will tell you we have
t played with some of the best. We
j don’t care where they put us on a
bill. We can follow an animal act or
juggler or any of the rest of them.
“Why, we would not be afraid to
let Mr. Bryan take the middle of the
bill or go on No. 4. Say, that cuckoo
song that Oechner sings won the
championship in Switzerland for him.
It was a great contest. See, the pro

Not for Money
LBy JAMES J. MONTAGUEz
Secretary Bryan has cabled to a French newspaper that hr is lecturing
not for money, hut simply to educate the people.

If your money fades into thin air,
Don’t think there’s no chance In the realm of finance
And give away to utter despair.

To think of the evil called greed,
Counts his house every night lest the treasurer might
Get away with an overlooked seed.
Though he, looHs upon cash as the veriest trash,
He’ll teach you to keep It by force;
Not a cent will you bum if your lesson you learn
In the Doc’s educational course.

As an ad. beats a two-headed horse,
You will never know' need if you’ll only pay heed

All he’d need for the next thousand years,

Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, Sept. 13.—A Liverpool
I doctor declares all the symptoms of
I alcoholic poisoning are caused by the
consumption of largo quantities of
j meat extract. This is a favorite tee-
i total beverage, and to say that it pro-
| duces a special kind of intoxication is
somewhat of a paradox.
A patient of whose habits there
could be no question went to the Liv
erpool doctor with every sign of alco
holic poisoning, and an inquiry proved
definitely that his state resulted solely
from a habit he had formed of taking
meat juices in several forms.
Some rather similar cases, say the
expert, have occurred from eating ex
cessive, though not apparently bulky,
portions of cereal foods.
was announced "the boy yodler of the
troupe won the championship in a
great contest in Switzerland."
Mr. Bryan has announced diplomat
ically that he was going to remain
on the Chautauqua circuit. lie said
there were now 1,000 of them. He
spoke of the pleasure he felt in ad
dressing the members and audiences
they drew, and what a proud privi
lege it was of his to do so. and #aid:
"I have no thought of abandoning
that privilege while, the work was at
its height, as It is."
A quick computation by a man in
the audience showed that with 1,000
ChautAuquas at $250 a Chautauqua
means $250,000 for Mr. Bryan as a
side line while looking after the af
fairs of state.

Who Killed Father

JOPLIN, MO., Sept. 13.—‘For more
than a decade James C. Brown, a
Joplin mirier, lived with the intention
of killing Emmett Dalton, the only
surviving member of the notorious
gang that terrorized Kansas twenty
years ago, but last night he wa< here

the former bandit released.
Dalton was fined $25 and cost# in
Joplin Police Court a few days ago
when he pleaded guilty to being drunk

Brown attempted to have his fine re
duced, and said if this wag done he
would pay It.
"I want to return good for evil,”
the minor .explained to Chief of Po

"I nursed an oath to kill Dalton for
thirteen years. Then I saw’ the folly
