The Lincoln StarJ of September 19th
haB an editorial on Speaker Cannon
in which warning is given to members
of congrcBB who are opposing him for
Tho Star says
re election as speaker
auoh members will be left out in tho
cold bo far as committee appointments
nrn mncerned if Uncle 1oo wins out
This is undoubtedly true but what
kind of a coward would a congressman
bo who would sacrifice principle for a
piece of pie in nhape of a committee ap
pointment It takes a brave man a
in Wash
man of nerve to stand up
ington and buck tho speakers
machine It is an easy thing perhaps
to do at home but vastly different to
Board the lion in his den ouuu
from this district
Norris the congressman
trict has bad tho courage of his con
victions and in tho last session of con
gress came out in tho open against the
speakers arbitrary suppression of legis
lation proposed by President Roosevelt
Ho introduced a resolution curtailing
the powers of the speaker and at once
becamo an object of disrepute in tne eye
of tho machine and the opponents of
Roosevelts policies The question is
now ud to the people Will you stand
by the man who has put principle
above pie and who even in Washington
has been brave enough to rik his own
political future to be on the side of
right Every voter regardless of his
nolitical belief who is opposed to ma
chine polities who believes in purifying
our political methods who stands for
tho square deal and the Roosevelt pol
ices should vote for tho reelection of
Judge Norris to congress Stockville

In a statement given out last Saturday
Mr Norris says he is opposed to the re
election of Cannon as speaker of the

ho uses the power of his high position
of legislation
to prevent the consideration
tion asked for by the people and desired
of the membership of
by a large body
the House of Representatives It was
Congressman Norris who introduced a
resolution in the last session of congress
to have the rules of the bouse araeuded

Silas McBee for Taft
Regardless of past affiliations stu
dents of affairs delvers and thinkers
for Judge Taft A
are fast lining up
recent example is that of Silas McBee
editor of the Churchman of New
York In an interview he says
I am a North CaroliDan by birth and
a lifelong Democrat I shall vote for
Mr Taft because he has it in hi3 heart
to bring my people of the South back
into absolute union with the national
life and to their historic place as a con
trolling force in the nation and to do
1 rii tvmilH immortalize him as a
statesman
I shall vote for him because he more
nearly represents my ideals of govern
ment of social order and economic
policy than any living Democrat or any
man before the people to day save alone
Theodore Roosevelt who is the only Re
publican President I have ever voted
for Mr Taft has administered every
trust committed to him by the nation
with an eye single to the nations good
and for the highest interests of the
people that compose the nation

Educatln
the
Filipioo Woman
Some Results of American Occupation
The Task of Inducing Women to
Learn Useful Accomplishments
By ELEANOR FRANKLIN EGAN
T
HE visit of the American fleet to
the Philippines agaiu directs at
tention to these possessions of
the United States
It seems Impossible to believe that In
ten years such a work could be accom
plished as has been done by the Amer
ican educators In the Philippine Islands
for the Filipino woman The Filipino
woman needs no apologist She is nat
urally strong mentally Is pretty to look
upon more often than not and she has
a feminine weakness for pretty clothes
trinkets aud innocent display But with
all this tho so called civilized Filipino
woman up to the time of American
occupation in the Philippines was
densely ignorant
When the American educational de
partment in the Philippines first began
its work girls were in all the class
es In the schools whatever the subject
taught They were to be found after
four or five years of preliminary edu
cation working out the intricacies of
advanced mathematics poring over dif
ficult problems in physics peering
through microscopes at mysterious 1k
tanical specimens glibly expounding
ethical culture theories and making
themselves generally ridiculous in th
eyes of everybody who knew that they
had not yer learned the rudiments of
civilized life for they had to be
taught the dignity of labor For a girl
to become superficially learned in th
sciences and arts which could be of no
earthly practical use to her was con
sidered an honorable achievement But
for this same girl to be called upon to
perform some menial task the doing of
which would oetter her own material
condition and that of the people about
her would have been to Insult her

FIMPINO CAItNIVAI Or 1303 AND SCENE
AT A CLASS IX DOilESTIC SCIENCE
most abominably for menial labor was
considered disgraceful by the Filipino
prior to the American regime
Through literacy they have got rid of
much superstition and have arrived at
a proper estimate of themselves Now
the bureau of education is putting
these girls and women seriousiy to
There have been installed
classes in domestic economy and girls
are being taught how to cook how to
sew how to feed themselves and their
children to the best advantage on what
their resources allow They are being
taught how to make their tropical
homes homelike and sanitary They
are being taught first last and all the
time personal hygiene aud all such
useful accomplishments as will make
them propagators of a healthy race
As in most nations the best material
to work upon among the Filipinos ex
ists in the ranks of the upper classes
and it was almost impossible in the be
ginning to get either a well bom wo
man or man to make any personal ef
fort Did the teacher ask Miss Carmen
Rojos to bring a dish from the school
cupboard in which to mix the omelet
that was to be the object lesson in tut
cpoking class Miss Carmen would turn
to somebody of less exalted rank than
herself or perhaps to her personal serv
ant who would be always at her call
commanding her to do the teachers
bidding Then the teacher if she
were diplomatic would carefully ex
plain to Miss Carmen her duties and
the dignitv which lay in the perform
ing of them without protest If slip
were not diplomatic she would say
Carmen I asked you to bring the
dish you are to do it at once and
Carmen would very likely break it in
her fine aristocratic rage or else swing
on her little naked heel and leave the
class room But the classes in do
mestic science are rapidly becoming
popular among that class of girls which
It is most necessary to reach and it is
safe to say that In the next generation
there will be a vast decrease in infant
mortality due to this education alone
as well as the development of finer
stronger and better balanced Filipinos
Could there bo a stronger objective for
education than this
CORKS HAVE DISEASES
Caused by a Small Worm Which Spoils
tho Flavor of tho Best Wines
To the average person a cork Is a
cork said a well kuown restaurant
man the other day But smell this
cordial Would you believe Itr And
he hold up a bottle supposed to have
the bouquet of cherries all the way
from the blossom to the pit The odor
was musty and altogether unpleasaut
lu fact it was decidedly bad He con
tinued
Xow tho man paying 20 cents for
his tiny glass of cordial after dinner
Is entitled to have it free from Imper
fections If he bought a bottle of
whin with that flavor he would say
the wine was bad for ninety men out
of a hundred know nothing about bad
corks He would want another bottle
of wine or his money refunded and he
would be right
The defect is in a tiny worm in the
cork that is often invisible to the man
cutting corks and sometimes cannot be
seen after tho cork is drawn A
tomer will taste me wiub im D
Bid wine You explain about the
cork and he will say Impossible
That was a beautiful cork beautiful
And yet we know that the contents of
the bottle never could have that flavor
uuder other conditions
I tell you there are millions of dollars
who can invent
lars waiting for the man
vent a perfect cork that will stand the
test of vears for flavor and preserving
qualities If it could be proved that
his invention was perfect lie would
make millions in a month New York

Depth of Cyclones
From the study of clouds an official
of the United States weather bureau
onnrliiflcs that ordinary cyclones
which traverse our country from west
to east are not more than two or three
miles in depth although their diameter
is many hundreds of miles In other
words their motion does not affect the
upper regions of the atmosphere In
the case of hurricanes this authority
finds that the depth is greater amount
ing to as much as five or six miles
But higher currents blow directly
ncross the cyclonic and anticyclonic
areas which produce storms and fair
weather at the surface of the earth
