Tn Ttenr of the deport urn of Bur ton Harrison, the new Wilson Gov ernor General of the Philippine*, who sailed Wednesday from San FTan- eiaco for Manila, and ths declared Intention of the Democratic Conferees to give to the Filipinos absolute In dependence eight years hence, the following article, by Bishop Fallows, la illuminating Bishop Fallows traveled 10,000 miles among the Islands to satisfy himaelf of conditions there and he concludes that Independence for the Filipinos now or within a few years would be a calamity. His article fol lows: 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.

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. Mr. Bryan, one of his fellow performers, and the tent at Media, Pa. Special Cable to The American. 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 Earth on Coast Thought Due to Subterranean Lake. HFATTI.E, WASH. Sept 18.—A Strange series of upheavals of the land in a little district In Skamania County, Washington, had caused won der and Nome consternation among the settlers. State Forester Ferrla who ha* Just returned from the rather Isolated region near Stevenson, where he viewed the results of nature’s out breaks. 1> at a loss to explain the phenomena. Within five miles of Stevenson a man planted a garden a year ago in a fertile little area Just below the housd. Last spring he planted in the name ■pot which nature had elevated to a position cosiderabl.v above the house. Thie »mo rancher pumps water from a lake Into a tank and carries It from the tank to the house In burled pipe#. Several times he has had to remove Joints from the pipe to coun teract the contortions of the earth on hi# farm A lake that used to be In a corner of the field is now removed to another quarter, while the lake bottom Is transformed into a little hillock. In the center of a little lake in another part of the area an Island has ap peared within a few months. PASTOR’S PLEA Chicago Clergyman Also Urges That Subject Be Taught in the Churches. CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—■'The teaching of sex hygiene in the church ana Sunday school was advoted in a sermon by the Rev W. H, Head, of Chicago, preaching at the Rochelle, Ill., Methodist Church. "Let the preacher and Sunday school teacher teach sex hygiene.” ha said, "and not turn It over to hire* lings. "Much has been said about so* genlcs, but to prohibit marriage ab solutely (among the sick) will b# only increasing the evil. To make marriage too difficult is to create a condition where marriage laws Ignored." COLLEGE GIRLS WILL BE TAUGHT SWIMMING ART] OXFORD OHIO. Sept.

The pool will be 22x40 feet, with a depth of 8 to 7 1-2 feet.

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 gram says it,” and he pointed to where, in email type on the inside, it 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.

Says Extract of Beef Causes Intoxication Liverpool Doctor Find# That Teeto taler's Drink Produce# Effects of Alcoholic Pol«onlng. 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. Tries to Aid Bandit Who Killed Father Son of Victim of Coffeyville Raid Would Pay Fine of the Slayer. 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 at the city Jail attempting' to have 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 for the fourth time within a week. 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 lice J II Myers. "In the Coffeyville raid Emmett Dalton killed my father. "I nursed an oath to kill Dalton for thirteen years. Then I saw’ the folly of my way of thinking.
