Wood and the Filipinos.
General Wood' retirement from the army,
following confirmation by the senate of hi ap
pointment to be governor-general in the Philip
pine, 1 announced. His long and honorable
career of tervice In the army it terminated with
credit to himself and the government, and he
will tt once aume the mot important assign
ment he yet lias had. Not since Taft wa sent
co the Philippine by McKinley has there been
such tore need for the pretence of a wise and
firm administrator at the head of affair in the
; .archipelago. Reason for this are not far to
i,JCk.
, Within the first doxen year of American
! roteetion, the people of the Philippine mader
greater advance than they had during the een-
' turie they patted under Spanish domination and
neglect. In that time the entire policy of the
island, the relations of tribe to tribe, of indi
vidual and communities, underwent radical
change. Property right a well a personal
tight were ettablihed. Great holding were
broken up, and the control of the land wa re
adjusted. Education wat established on a firm
bad, and communication wa made freer by the
adoption of the English language a the common
tongue of the people. Feud of centuries be
tween group were broken up, warlike barbarian
' were taught the arts of peace, and generally the
islands prospered.
Unfortunately for all concerned, certain in
terested politicians took advantage of the free
dom granted all, and through the easily aroused
national spirit teeured such control of the legis
lature that the measure of self-government
granted to them was turned to a disadvantage
if sot to the actual condition of a curie. The
national treasury was looted, private enterprUea
were supported at public expense, the transpor
tation system was allowed to decay, the schools
to fall away from the high standard set at the
beginning, and generally a drift to old conditions
or even worse prevailed. Instead of being ex
ploited by the.Spanish, the Filipinos were being
exploited by their own race. All this was made,
possible under the Hitchcock-Jone bill, by
which the Wilton administration sought to pave
the way for easting loose the islands to shift a

; Another Argument for Peace,
i On Friday of this week the ordnance corps
"of the United States army will present another
tremendous argument for peace. It will take the
iorm of an exhibition at the Aberdeen proving
grounds. Exhibit A will be a flashless powder,
by which night firing may be carried on with
out any danger of detection, for the explosive
Will leave neither smoke nor flame by which it
ttiay be traced. Thus the enemy observers will
be baffled in their attempts to "spot" the battery
that is firing. Exhibit 8 will be a new cannon,
almost seventy feet long, sixteen inches in feor,
weighing 340,000 pounds, and firing a projectile
weighing 2,400 pounds a distance of twenty-two
miles. Exhibit C will be a new type of Brown
ing machine gun with a calibre of .50, or one
half inch. Such instruments of destruction are
potent in themselves to induce a higher regard
for perpetual peace, while the further reflection
that our government Is and was in possession of
certain things that were not even tried in the
last time out, such as the secret exptotive, mutt
even increase the hope that they will never be
called for. Sad experience, however, is warrant
for saying that the notion of making war too
horrible to undertake is a fallacy. When men
start fighting they wilt do anything.
' At the Night School.
' A display advertisement, presenting the serv
ice offered at one of the city's high schools, is
an innovation, but deterves better treatment than
usually is afforded a novelty. It calls attention
to one of the most important adjuncts of modern
life. "Those wb know are at work," is a chal
lenge, set up "as a sign-board in a day when
workers are at a disadvantage in seeking em
ployment ' Knowledge still is power, and the
greatest boon of American citisenship is the
privilege and opportunity of obtaining an educa
tion; it is the first duty of the state to train its
dtisens for the responsibilities of citizenship.
Some have succeeded in life who were devoid or
efficient in educational training, but they are so
' it that they are noteworthy among a great
group whose ancceta in life is taken is a matter
.( course for no other reason than that they hare
bees trained in th public school. Omaha has
long afforded the newcomers a full opportunity
to secure the needed cultural training, and now i
supplementing this by adding court of inttruc
tion iu other branches. A goodly return should
be teeured from this, in the way of improved
ability among those who recently have com
among us, for they will gain better ideas of
Americsn wsy of doing thing, practical, and
ueful knowledge to apply to everyday affair.
The night school is but an extension of the great
citizen-factory of which Omaha Is to juitly
proud, and it deserve to be fostered.
Polishing Up the Golden Rule.

follow the golden rule, if not from love, then
from sheer force of necettity." Banker, in spite
of the frequent attertlon that ice water instead

Enlightened sclf-interett ha long been praised
at promising most for society as well as for the
individual. There it room for a variety of defi
nitions of this, and it i even possible to include
love of one's fellow nun and devotion to the
general welfare. Without any distortion the
lolicy of enlightened telf-interett can be taken
to signify that the soundest general prosperity
brings most to the individual, and that in the
well-being of the population at a whole is the
best aimrance for each man's comfort and suc
cess. It is understood now, for inttance, that un
employment affectt more than the men deprived
of workf it has entered into general conscious-
nets that this condition reduce the volume of

A Nebraska Soldier.
He is not yet old enough to vote, but on his
breast he may with authority pin a collection of
medalt and decorations that anyone might envy,
for each is. a tangible proof that his manhood
has been put to the utmost test, and found
worthy. He is Nebraska t mott decorated tol
dier, and wat 16 years of age when the alarm
of war awoke the nation in April, 1917. Before
he wat 18 he had won for himself the proud
distinction of the distinguished service cross, the
eroix du guerre, and twice the medaille militaire.
Such honor falls to few men, but this youngster,
still a minor and modest withal, weara his deco
rations deservedly. He has been singled out for
another important assignment, and will repre
sent the state of Nebraska at Washington on the
occasion when the Unknown Soldier is laid to
rest with appropriate ceremony at Arlington.
Nebraska is proud to offer him as an example
of the young men of the state. While he gained
the greatest glory of any, it does not detract
from hit credit in any degree to say that he was
one of 40,000-odd who went out from this state,
on any of whom dependence could be placed.
His name is Carl M, Lange, his home is at Hart

Unnecessary Waste in Boulevards.
Is Omaha not making a costly mistake in its
methods of handling the boulevards? Commis
sioner Hummel, countering the proposal to turn
over another road to his department stated that
if this were done the street would have to be
closed. No money is available to pay the cost
of upkeep for another foot of boulevard, he de
clared. '
And what has Omaha received in return for
exhausting its - boulevard funds? Mere cinder
paths wathed out by every hard rain, and in con
stant need of repair.
The cost of maintaining these pleasure drives
appears to have eaten tip the boulevard appro
priation. This brings the city face to facewith
the question whether in the interest of true
economy it would not be advisable to proceed
with the permanent paving of the boulevards.
Only in this way can the constant drain for re
pairs be shut off. A cheap roa!, whether in
country or city, is the most expensive in the long
run, since a firmly laid pavement does not re
quire so much patching.
Perhaps the system of financing boulevards
from a city-wide fund also is wrong in some
cities property owners along the route share a
part of the cost This alto is worth looking into.
But the main thing is to lessen the cost of up
keep and begin operating under a plan for per
manent construction.
Not much is heard of the unemployment of
women can it be that more of them are .finding
work in domestic service? Road building, at all
events, would not help them much, nor would
it be adaptable to the needs and abilities of all
men. ' 1

Americans Jor the Future
Sturdy Male Type, But Hit .
Sister It Falling Bthind.
(Prom the Boston Transcript)
Dr. Met Hrdlicka, who it probably our mott
dittinguithed anthropologic, and who certainty
it a man of profound lr ruing in the tiudy of
the human tpeciet, has discovered a new racial
type, which he calls the Old American, He dit
courted mott Interestingly on this type before
the International Congress of Eugenics at New
York. I he UU American ol Ur. Hrdlicka s dit
covery it not, at tome may tuppote, the Aztec,
or the Indian mound builder. Dr. Hrdlkka it
not an archteologitt; he it a student of the living
man. Hit Old American it the living American
of the old colonial ttovk of that race, oottibly
now relatively declining in numbrrt in this coun
try but not by any means physically or mentally
effete, which is descended from the original tet-
tirrt, of whttever buropean origin. In this rsce
the distinguished anthropologist finds distinctly
a new type developing, and a superior type,
which will be the type of the future American.
After a careful study of 1,700 representatives of
lamiiies ot Americans ol at least three cehrra
tkms, Or. Hrdlicka finds certain physical charac
teristics, demonstrably developed from conditions
ot climate, daily life and other indigenous in
fluencet. appearing predominantly in these oeo
pie. He discovers, indeed, the characteristics
which are gradually being "stamped bv the coun
try on all classes of Americans, regardless of the
race from which they orminally descended.
What are the physical characteristics of this
race which, though now a minority, will, if Dr.
mdlicka is right eventually mark the whole
American population with its type? They are
tne cnaracterutics wiucli we have been accus
tomed to note in vigorous Americani of the old
ttock. They are the tallest of all the larger
groups of whites now in the country. They are
dark rather than light, pure blonds being rare,
The eyes are "mixed," which doubtless means
that they are somewhere between blue and black,
being rarely purely one or the other. The head
varies in shape, with medium length and breadth
The face it long and narrow, but cheekbones
are not high. Body proportions are good. In
short, though the drift in the American type is
toward tallness and darkness, we are not, as some
anthropological quidnuncs have imagined, revert
ing to the American Indian type, nor are we at
taining the lanky and ill-proportioned extension
represented in the current conception of "Brother
Jonathan." We are simply obeying climatic con
ditions, and good influences of nutrition and cir
cumstances of life. Under these influences we
are by no means degenerating as a race, but. in
the view of this anthropologist who is himself a
European by birth and holds no social brief for
our praise, we are advancing toward the forma
tion of a superior type.
In the light of this conclusion, we may, at a
nation, quite cease to worry about the increasing
numerical predominance of the newcomers from
r-urope, as evidenced in the returns of the last
three censuses. Little by little all these newcom
ers, of whatever origin, are being subjected to
this same type-producing influence. AH who en
tered by the gate of Castle Garden or Ellis Island
will eventually be assimilated to this American
type, which itself, according to Dr. Hrdlicka,
has been gradually modified by the New England
type. In other words, Dr. Holmes engaged in
no idle boast when he wrote on the "universal
Yankee nation." Plymouth Rock has annexed
Ellis Island.
There is, however, one fly in the ointment of
Dr. Hrdlicka's researches. He finds the Amer
ican male a better product than the American
female, who is flat-chested and in certain physi
cal respects sub-developed. Anthropologically
speaking, there is something grievously wrong
with any race in which the sexes are not de
veloped pari passu. If women lag behind in de
velopment they hold the race back with them,
for men are the sons of their mothers. The
robust races have robust women. Such were
the Greeks: in the Athenian marble. Electra
stands inch for inch with her brother, Orestes,
his physical match in every respect The condi
tions of life among these "Old Americans" rather'
handicapped the woman. She was a household1
drudge, toiling with bent shoulders over the hot
fire and the washtub. She has to a large extent
been emancipated from those conditions.. Her
emancipation must no doubt in time do away with
the physical inferiority which Dr. Hrdlicka is
compelled to record. In the meantime, it is to be
noted that he finds in the American woman no
mental inferiority. Her standing in the political
partnership into which she has entered by means
of the 19th amendment is not affected by the
Hrdlicka discovery. The American woman
should,, however, seek to make herself the physi
cal match of the American man, to the end that
together they may forward the greatness, the
strength, the beauty of our American race.

HumanWeakness in J ury Box
In Sacramento, Cal., recently two handsome
tcapegracet stole an automobile valued at $2,000.
The facta were established and the jury of six
men and six women found no difficulty in agree
ing to the guilt of the defendants.
But the women stood solidly against a con
viction on the charge of grand larceny, which
was obviously the only correct verdict. They
insisted, and finally prevailed, on finding the pris-.
oners guilty ot petty larceny and a verdict was
accordingly rendered to that effect, much to the
disgust of the court, who gave utterance to some
obiter dicta entirely uncomplimentary to the jury,
its intelligence and its appreciation of the duties
of citizenship.
This incident, it is contended by some com
mentators, serves to prove the' frequent allegation
that women jurors cannot be relied upon to re
turn a verdict which will inflict any particular
pain upon a good looking masculine offender.
The fact that the six women on the jury in ques
tion rushed to congratulate the prisoners after
the verdict was rendered is adduced as additional
proof of this contention and a convincing argu
ment against their fitness to serve as jurors.
But this argument, powerful as it may be, is
somewhat impaired by the well known fact that
it is generally impossible to induce a jury of
men to find a good looking woman guilty of any
thing more than a misdemeanor, even if her in
fraction of the law proceeds to the extent of get
ting rid of an undesirable husband or a formid
able rival by means of a pistol.
.' U would seem to the candid observer that the
ends ot' justice are no more dangerously sub
verted by the acts of women jurors who permit
good4ooking malefactors of the sterner sex to
escape deserved punishment than thev are by the
performlnce of male jurors who insist on giving
attractive feminine defendants considerably more
than the benefit of the reasonable doubt which
the law requires. Milwaukee Sentinel.
A Homily on Golf.
Men take up golf for the exercise as a game
it makes walking most interesting.
An inexperienced player going ever an 18-hole
course will perhaps cover five miles. The more
proficient he becomes at the game the less tie
walks, ergo, the less exercise he gets,
So, if you are taking up golf for the exercise,
what is the sense of becoming expert and thus
reducing the amount of exercise? The answer
is that an American doesn't want to be a "dub"
at anything. St Louis Star. .

The bounds of human knowledge
and of th potential energy open to

of startling figures which, though

it took for the sea to become salt)
that Darwin's estimate that., the
earth mint be at least 20,000.000
years old wasvno longer tenable.
For the amaller nguro he would
substitute 1,000,000,000 years, a
computation whioh wmriously
enough was confirmed by Professor
Slddlngton of Cambridge, who had
reached the same result by an en
tirely different method. Professor
