In view of the departure of Bur ton Harrison, the new Wilson Gov ernor General of the Philippines, who sailed Wednesday from San Fran- clsco for Manila, and the declared Intention of the Democratic Congress to give to the Filipinos absolute In dependence eight years hence, the following article, by Bishop Fallows, Is illuminating. Bishop Fallows traveled 10,000 miles among the islands to satisfy himself 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, Noted Edu cational 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 most 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 hazy 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 I member of the Schunnann 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 a week ago Monday, when he resigned to make Way for a man chosen by the Wil son Administration. In thlg capacity he organized and directed the Bureaus of Health, Land, Forestry' and Science, besides becoming the guardian of the million Ron-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 of the wild men, an extraordinary tale •f 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 seems to have been largely accidental »nd occasional The largest groups of non-civilized "OW!” Corns?

From this custom they derived the name of headhunters. I heir feuds were both tribal and per sonal. and all the people were touched by the malign hand of vengeance and fear. Rapacity had murked 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- ties, and it was only through superb courage that they won a hearing in the flnt place, while endless patience and infinite tact were necessary to the establishment of the confidence and friendship which 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 ring tribes were brought together in friendly relationship and the rivalry of athletics took the place of forav*>. Schools were started, industry and husbandry encouraged and the once inaccessible mountains were 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. haH 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’ n^st of trouble for the United States Government, the possibilities of which are strikingly illustrated b> the experience <>f the Japanese In Formof-ia and the Dutch in Java, where costly and endless war has been waged against the hillmen. Had the die been cast for war rather than peace with the hillmen 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 fellows, 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 a 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 splendid beginning. The most Important relationship that Dean Worcester has had toward the rest of the Filipino people has been on the side of sanitation and science. It was 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 has in the United States. Another necessity was a modern school of medicine and surgery that would train Filipinos to minister to the needs of their own people, and such an institution was 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 were started. Thousands of lepers were scattered througiiout the archipelago, and these were slowly gathered in a great col ony founded at Culion 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 Filipinos. Freed from long official service and the res'mints 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 know's more about hls subject than any other living man. Mr. Worcester has 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,” "Modern Manila,” and "Is Philippine Independence a Present Possibility'.*'’ To supplement and illuminate his lectures Mr. Worcester has 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* Secretary of State Appears Every Night With Tyrolean Yodlers and a Gypsy Violinist. The Bryan Lecture as a Money Maker. Since entering President Wilson's Cabinet Mr. Bryan has spent much time on the Chautauqua circuit. He received his traveling expenses, a ! guarantee of $250 for each lecture and i 50 per cent of all receipts in excess of $500.

Va., ; and will go on to Staunton, President ; Wilson’s birthplace, on Tuesday. The performance, or rather the lec ture, compared favorably with that I in Media, Pa., a few days ago and at Glenolden. Glenolden had the advantage of Media, because at the former place no popcorn or pink lemonade booths were allowed outside. At Glenolden these accessories of the circus were not lacking. The peanut privilege, while not a lucrative one, was a noisy one. “Peanuts, chocolates and chew ing gum.” 'Tee cream cones and brick ice cream!” These cries greeted Mr. Bry an as he came up in 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 was dragged along by hls mother declared he wanted them to feed the elephant. “There isn't any elephant, Willie,” said his mother. “Yes, there is; they got a tent,” he French Paper Sees in His Per formance Reason for Success of Tammany.

PARIS, Sei>i. 13.—The Times’ lend ing editorial on foreign affaire, edited and usually written by Andre Tardieu, one of the under secretaries of the Department of Foreign Affairs, and accepted generally by the European press ns directly Inspired utterances reflecting the opinions of foreign of fice heads, is devoted to-night to ridiculing Secretary of State Bryan L SEX HYGIENE II L BEING STUB POT’S PIES wailed as she moved on with him to where the crowd was In line. There must have been several per 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 it difficult for those in the extre; . rear seats to hear clearly. The really disappointed 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 Canvasman. Ono of the canvasmen who had a seat along the side of the tent wall surrounding the lot aired hls woes while Mr. Bryan was speaking. "I’m sorry I Joined," he wailed. “This ain’t a regular show, and the boss canvasman is a Hvarthmore 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 Bells 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 could 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 they 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 T’mley 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. Graus. our manager, will tell you we have played with some of the best. We don’t care where they put us on a bill. We can follow an animal act or « • • • Not for Money _By JAMES J.

And if all the while he sees with a smile More dollars heap up in the vault And his holdings accrue while he educates you, Remember, it isn’t his fault l for hls appearance with a traveling tent show. TlwMpaption over the editorial is "The Bryan Sketch,” and hls part in the show is treated as vaudeville. The editorial says Mr. Bryan’s en terprise Is especially dangerous in this age, when the tendency of the public is to despise diplomacy as futile, or at least to refuse to take | diplomats seriously. “A few more samples of this kind and the public will lose all faith,” it goes on. It is pointed out that Mr. Bryan’s “antics" really call for an essay on American manners and morals, illustrating once again that in the United States a political career is esteemed as a most mediocre pro fession, hence inferior men have been predominant in American politics throughout the last century, all citi zens of marked ability and of pro nounced intelligence religiously keep ing out of politics, and the really able men going Into business, from which position they use politicians, but nev er hoid office. Thus Tammany has prospered, to poison America’s magnificent soil.” It also says the best American tradition of dignity is npw entirely confined to "out-of-the-way” Boston and similar corners, from which types of men like Olney and Lodge must witness the “vaudevillian” Secretary of State, whereas the “widest chasm separates these responsible citizens from the public’s approval.” 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 small type on the inside, it was announced “the boy yodler of the troupe won the championship in a great contest in Switzerland." Mr. Bryan has announced diplomat ically thfit he was going to remain on the Chautauqua circuit. He 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 hls to do and said: German Papers Score Bryan As Vaudevillian. Special Cable to The American. BERLIN, Sept. 13.—-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 fin** busfnes talent. If 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 was due to a moment of jovial stimulation.” The Reveste Nachrichten suggests Mr. Bryan is trying to show that America’s poorly paid public officials are obliged “either to steal or adopt methods.” Strange Series of Movements of Earth on Coast Thought Due to Subterranean Lake. SEATTLE, WASH., Sept. 18—A strange series of upheavals of the land in a little district in Skamania County, Washington, had caused won der and some consternation among the settlers, State Forester Ferris, who has Just returned from the rather isolated region near Stevenson, where he viewed the results of nature’s out breaks, Is 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 house. Last spring he planted in the same spot which nature had elevated to a position cosiderably above the house. This same rancher pumps water from a lake into a tnnk and carries it from the tank to the house in buried pipes. Several times he has had to remove joints from the pipe to coun teract the contortions of the earth on his 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. War Veteran Regains Sight Lost in Battle Dazed by Things He Sees Since Suc cessful Operation, He Declines $100 Pension. PITTSBURG, Sept. 13.—Isaac Gates, of West Virginia, a veteran of the Civil War and blind since he was affected by a wound at Chancel- lorsvllle, left the Eye and Ear Hos pital after an operation the other day possessing ful! sight and so happy that lie h.is talked ever since about the wonderful tilings he sees. He is dazed by the hundreds of modern things. Just before the operation he was offered by the Government a pension of $100 a month. He sent word to Washington that the Government may keep the pension; he is happy with out it. "I urn 77,” he said, “but talk about enjoyment! I did not know what life’s charms were until I got back my eyesight. The years that I was blind made a great difference to me. Now I am enjoying myself.” Chicago Clergyman Also Urges That Subject Be Taught in the Churches. CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—The teaching of sex hygiene in the church and Sunday school was advoted in a sermon by the Rev. W. H, Head, of Chicago, preaching at tha Rochelle, Ill., Methodist Church.

Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Sept. 13.—A LiverpooT doctor declares all the symptoms of alcoholic poisoning are caused by the consumption of large quantities of meat extract This is a favorite tee 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 wont 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 tho expert, have occurred from eating ex cessive, though not apparently bulky* portions of cereal foods. COLLEGE GIRLS WILL BE TAUGHT SWIMMING ART OXFORD.
