OK" the question of prohibition, a majority ofi the pooph
take the middle road.
They neither acree with the liouor interest who main
tain the right to get drunk is guaranteed by the constitu
tion, nor witii tue dry fanatics, who maintain that tho mil
lemum will arrive with national prohibition. They op
pose worn extremes ana arg groping somowiiat blindly for
a mean between the two. i
The entire question is a complicated one, and thought
ful people on both sides of the fence grant the complica
tions. If tho deep human craving for stimulant could be
removed by legislation, the problem would bo simple. But
it can't. Statistics show that the human race, as at pres
ent constituted, craves stimulant, and if this craving is
donicd in one direction it promptly makes' itself manifest
in another. And until this craving is eliminated, tho suc-

The fact to remember is that: artificial stimulation
does not pay. Whether it is found iu booze or drugs, the
individual addicted must pay the bill, sooner or later, rind
viui nnerest compounded, it is irenerallv ackmiw i-riwd
for example, that whisky is not a stimulant but ?i depres

The Cannibal Is StUl With Us
WASHINGTON. D. C. AprU 17.
"Cannibals !'' vou may have exclaim
ed when you read recently of a na
val force sent to Halekula Island, of
the New Hebrides, to auell attacks of
the man eaters upon white1 planters,
"I thought cannibals had disappeared
lone neo."
"Contrary to the eenernl belief.
the cannibal is still with us," says a
bulletin trom the National Geoeraph
ic Society. "And . cannibalism is
practiced rccrulariv bv some tibes of
the numerous South Sea islands. In
other places it is recurrent. Mis
sionaries and aerents report it stamp
ed out. and thev speak truly, save for
occasional lapses into barbarism of
these primitive peoples iust emergine
into the kindergarten stage of their
civilization.
"Of all the peoples of the vast
South Pacific expanse where the
white man's influence has been, felt
at all the Malekula islanders perhaps
are the most murderous, treacherous
and savace. Not many i years ago
ethnologists who sav some eeor shap
ed skulls brought Irom the island
held high hopes that there, at last,
might be found the missing link which
marked- the- evolutionary step from
monkey to man. i : , j ., '
' Cone Shaped Heads
"Investigation soon disproved anv
such theory. For . the cone shaped
heads of manv Malekula islanders is
a deformity deliberately produced bv
wrapping cord about the heads of
babies. '. If tho child survives the
treatment its egg shaped. head, point
upward, is a . Mulekulun distinction
akin to the tiny foot of a Chinese wo
man. :', ' -. '-.-'.-
"Another - custom ' of Malekula
seems equally harrowing. If a wo
man discloses a gar) in 4he rows of
her gleaming white teeth it means
that she is married and that the old
er women have performed this opera--tion
in something of the playful spirit
in which rice throwing sometimes is
induged in at nn American ceremony.
Great Clubman
"The male Malekukn is a crack
marksman with the bow and 'poisoned
arrow, and as inveterate a clubman
as a wealthy American bachelor. In
many islands of the New Hebrides
each village has its club house, and
upon his standing among his club fel
lows, depends his rank in the commu
nity; .." ':'.-.; ; (:..'. '' ; '
"Moreover there is a. combination
community forum, public dance hall,
and children's playground under tho
banyan tree of nearly every native
village, f v-:'; ;
"There are' many differences' be
tween the Malekulan and the natives
of other islands, though most of them
are obviously Malanesiun, from their
thick, woolv hair, coal blaok skin, flat
noses and heavy lips. The Maleku
lans are accorded the palm for fcroc.
ity and cruelty by many, travelers,'
cnougn thev are ndt nninue nmnnff thn
Hebrides -natives in these respects.
On some islands the women expect to
be buried alive with their husband's
bodies. . .-. .:

"A redeeming feature of the Male
kulans is . their scrupulous honesty.
