It has been many years since the
hilarity over Peck's Bad Boy was at
it's height. In the meantime the author,
Ex-Governor Peck, has been too busy
| with politics to chronicle any more of
the adventures of the boy. But lately
he has begun writing Of him again and
now there Is d new book out-Peck' q
Uncle Ike and the Red-headed Boy.
1t is said to be good. The dedication,
at least, is pleasing in it's conception
of the typical American boy: 1.-THE
boy who is not SO awfully good. along
at first, but just good enough; the boy
who does not cry when he gets hurt,
and goes into all dangerous games
there are going, and goes in to win;
the boy who loves mis- girl with the
same earnestness that he plays foot
ball, and who takes the hard knocks of
work and play until he becomes hard
ened to anything that may come to
him in after life; the boy who will in
vestigate everything in the wey of
machinery, even if he gets his fingers
pipched, and learns how to make the
machine that pinched him; the boy
who, by study experience, and mixing
up with the world, knows little about
everything that he will have to deal
with when he grows up; the all around
boy, that makes the all around man,
ready for anything, from praying for
his couutry's prosperity to fighting for
its honor; the boy who grows up quail
fed to lead anything, from the german
at dance to an army in battle; the
boy who can take up q collection in
church, or take up an artery On man
injured in a railroad accident, without
losing his nerve; the boy who can ask
blessing if called upon to do so, or
ask a girls ugly father for the hand of
his daughter in marriage, without
choking up; the boy who grows up to
be man whom all men respect, all
women love, and whom everybody
wants to see president of the United
States"

charity of heart, and much wisdom OF
the head likewise.
The fact is, and all people whose horl-
zon Of view is not circumscribed by the
immediate present, realize that we have
achieved wonderful victory, a great
moral triumph, magnificent and glor1-
Gus thing in forming relations with the
Moros of the Suiu group, that opens
their doors to us for the civilizing in
fluences of the age. We might have
gone to war with them, might have
sent soldiers to slay them, and in the
end have accomplished little except at
treasure.
But what have we done? The treaty
made with them was published in full
in these columns on Thursday. 1t is
short, to the point and unamblguous
and wise. The authority of the United
States is recognized, the flag of this
nation floats over the territory as the
emblem Of power. We have the ports,
the control of the customs and all the
commercial advantages we could wish
for. We find there a very well or.
dered but rather autocratic form Of
government and the Mohammedan re-
ligion. We wisely agree that the peace
full and effective domestic government
shall continue for the present as it is,
and that instead Of putting a host of
our own men in as officials at salaries,
we will pay six Of the Sulu officials
their small stated salaries to continue
to govern in peace the whole group.
We secure freedom of worship and
liberation never known to the islands.
We secure the right to the feudal bond
men to buy their freedom. In short,
we treat with these people much as we
have done with the North American
Indians, recognizing their tribal rela-
lions and not foolishly attempting the
impossible, namely, to christianize the
people by force or proclamation.
The social conditions we leave as they
are, subject to the operation of con-
tact with our civilization, that will eff
feet the desired end great deal sooner
than was effected in the case of the
polyganists Of Utah. So far as the
question of polygamy is concerned that
practice has existed there four hundred
years; it is very much restricted, very
limited, and is by no means an insuper-
able barrier to the approaches of civil
izing conditions. The goody-goodies

Philippine Islands. Indeed, he said, that
on the contrary the semi-tropical pro-
ducts Of California will presently flow
into the Philippines, so superior is the
growth here to any citrus growth there.
In fact, he said the Philippines will fur.
nish us one of the best markets in the
world for citrus fruits. For instance,
lemons and lines do not thrive in the
archipelago, and there is extraordinary
demand there for lime juice. Citrus
fruits of other orders grown in the ISL
ands are poor In quality and very linn
tied in quantity. Even in the matter
OF staple product, the philippines do
not grow nearly rice sufficient Tor home
consumption, and imports from China
are very large. Incidentally, Professor
Hayne. who was a Lieutenant in the
volunteer army in the Philippines, re-
sponded to inquiry in the convention
concerning the Filipino personally, and
replied that the average Filipino is
the LATEST, most contemplate, treach-
erous and worthless mortal he had ever

A HYPocRITICAL PRETENsE.-

There was introduced in the House
of Representatives yesterday a resolu-
ton originating with those who may
now be classed as goodygood Demo-
Gratis calling for committee inquiry into
the Sulu treaty and inquiry also into
the question whether the adjustment
effected with the Jolo Sultan was in
violation of the constitutional and stat
utory provisions against slavery and
polygamy.
That is as hypocritical pretense as
was ever made If the whining and
tear believed goodies of the country
propose to force upon any OF the people
of our new possessions their ideas of
right and wrong and their conceptions
of religion, they will meet with re-
buff that will not be forgotten soon.
Sensible people understand very well
that in taking control Of the Philip
pines social conditions are not to be
revolutionized in a moment, in day, a
week nor year or many years. Some
one has said that an object cannot be
moved from one point to another with
out passing through all intermediate
points, and that this law Of physics is
equally true of peoples and comnuni-
ties. They cannot be moved from one
point to another in the scheme of civ
ilization without passing-and slowly
through all intermediate and progress
siye points We ourselves were con-
siderably more than century in pass
ing from a condition that defended
slavery as a divine institution. to the
point that demanded it's abolition and
accomplished it at the cost of the
bloodiest war of all time.

A INDUSTRIOUS PROPOSITION.

The Democracy is showing its hand.
In the House of Representatives yester-
day joint resolutions were introduced,
as the result of a conference of Demo-
cratic leaders, demanding that the in
dependence Of the Filipinos shall be
recognized-and this in the very teeth
OF the fact that the Filipinos do not
represent more than one-fifth Of the
people Of the Philippine Islands-that
our land and sea forces shall be with
drawn from the archipelago when the
insurgent government" (Which has
ceased to EXIST pays over to us the
$2O,00O,000 we paid Spain for the ISL
ands, and deed to US a suitable naval
and coaling station and grants to US
in perpetuity free access to the Philip
pine ports.
On our behalf we are to agree to ex-
tend a protectorate over the Filipinos
for ten years, seeing to it that there is
no foreign interference with them. Dur
ing that time all foreign matters are
to be under American control. In adj
dition to this time-limited suzerainty,
we are, we assume, to stand aside and
see the Filipinos wreak vengeance upon
the four-fifths of the people who object
to their would-be domination, and who
deny their right to barter away their
property or to establish their rule over
it For the resolutions provide for no
guarantee that the insurgents shall be-
have themselves. preserve the peace,
establish, stable government or main
tain free institutions.
This expression by resolution clearly
shows the fine hand of Mr. Bryan and
his colleagues, the "Anti-Imperalist
League" so-called. 1t was his little
game as outlined in his speeches in his
swing around many circles at $500 a
speech during the fall months. It puts
the Democracy squarely before the peo-
pie as anti-expansionists, as in favor
OF a relation of suzerainty to the Philip
pines that would as certainly let US into
a. sea. of trouble as that the sun shines.
The game proposed Is one that would
humiliate US before all the world, would,
If carried out, endanger every foreign
interest in the islands we are bound to
protect, and bring upon us in one group
all foreign Powers to answer for the
crime. Just where we would land un-
der such skirn-rnilk settlement of the
Philippine question it is difficult to
foresee 1t is enough to know that our
later would be infinitely worse than our
present state.
We do not believe that these Demo-
cratic leaders will find the members of
their party so cringing and subservient
as to submit to this declaration Of
Democratic policy. There will be a ris-
ing up of Democrats in and out OF
Congress in protest against the coward
~ and humiliating propositions en-
bodied in Mr.. Representative Williams
resolutions.

Put Her Into "Bits Of Travel"

Grandma, a character who was i'm
mortalized by Helen Hunt in her "Bits
of Travel at Home" is living in abject
poverty in Colorado Springs. Her heart
is broken. To add to her misery, Tom
my, her boy, who also came in for a
share of attention at the Colorado
poetess' hands, has left the parental
roof. And Grandma is inconsola BILE.
When Helen Hunt met the old lady
and Tommy the latter was a boy OF
16 years of age. This was twenty
years ago. Tommy left home two years
ago, and Grandma thinks he enlisted
under an assumed name in the Span
ish-American War. Her two eldest
sons had been in the Confederate army,
and were killed in battle Grandma can
not believe that Tommy has met a sim
liar fate.
On the west outskirts of Colora do
Springs, close by a creek, on the way
to Manitou, is a 1Ox12 tent. This is
Grandma's home" The old, weather
beaten tent has weathered many a
storm, and during the intense cold last
winter she thought she would freeze
to death. The locality is sparsely set
tied and winters chilly blasts have full
sweep.
Since Tommy has gone Grandma has
been the sole occupant of the tent. Her
only companion is a mongrel cur.
The tent is kept scrupulously clean.
The floor is carpeted with a dark ma
terial that has seen better days. An
old-fashioned kitchen stove is in one
CORNER and in tho other is an innrO-
vised bed. The tent is papered and the
walls contain several photographs, one
including Grandma and Tommy taken
together. Several chairs and consider

GOOD LUCK FOLLOWS
SERIOUS MISFORTUNE
INSoLVENT CONTRACTOR IN
HERITS A PRINCELY ESTATE.
a. R. Denke Fails for Large Sum
and the Next Day Learns He Is
in Financial Clover.

ALAMEDA, Jan. H-Misfortune and
good luck are following in rapid success
sion in the affairs of A. r. Denke, the con-
tractor, who made and lost fortune try
ing to build up West Alameda with pretty
homes. Denke had reached the pinnacle
of prosperity about three years ago, when
he got into domestic troubles which
brought about an estrangement between
himself and wife. One of his sons took
sides with his mother and started in bust
ness in opposition to his father.
From that time Denkes financial affairs
began to tangle and the crash came last
Tuesday. when ne was forced to file a
petition in insolvency. His debts were
over $4,000
That was his worst misfortune but the
following day he received information of
a bit of good luck that sent a CLEAN of
sunshine through a rift in the clouds of
his financial troubles. The days mail
brought him a letter from his old home in
Germany apprising him of the death of
an uncle and containing the further in
formation that the aforesaid uncle had
remembered him in his Will to the ex-
tent of $50 900.
Denke FASTENED TO his creditors with the
glad tidings and asked them not to press
the insolvency proceedings until he had
time to receive his inheritance from the
old country, when he promised to settle
his accounts dollar for dollar. The cred
itors are considering the proposition, but
will look into the matter thoroughly be-
fore they give a decided answer.
