no PEACE IN TIE PHIL1ppINns

After one year of warfare in the Phil
lppine islands. and principally In the large
Island Of Luzon. Gen. Otis. according to
the cabled reports, considers the city of
Manila to be the most troublesome cen
ter Of the rebellion today He finds that
the tnsurgent junta, both in Luzon and
at Hong Kong, so far from being dispir-
tied aAd worn out, is becoming more
active. Rebel leaders come and go in
Manila pretty nearly as they please. and
one Of them. Flores, says the F'iIipinos
are prepared to maintain their resistance
for the purpose of forcing the congress of
the United States to accord them satisfac-
tory terms of peace.
The Tagalos have recently received
three shiploads of arms and ammunition.
and the fact that United States troops
but recently captured a number of new
Mauser rifles in the hands of TagaIos is
evidence that the rebels are obtaining
supplies as they require them.
Further, it is reported that the Fiiipinos
are reorganizing their fighting forces in
the provinces of Morong and Zambales.
and they are active in the province of
Nueva Eciga
The three months chase after AguinaI-
do has been fruitless, and travel be-
tween the towns garrisoned by the Amer
lean troops is becoming more dangerous
The municipal officials appointed in Lee
panto and Union provinces have resigned
their positions, and decline to be further
identified with the Americans, and, taken
all in all. the situation throughout the
Philippine islands Is about as unsatisfac-
tory and as far from pacfcation as #
was 4 year ago.
The military operations of Gen. Otis
have resulted in bloodshed and the loss
OF ives. but that is all The people are
not subdued nor do they seem likely to
sue for peace. Their fighting spirit is
nearly. if not quite. as strong as ever,
and they are becoming more expert in
the use Of improved modern weapons. and
consequently, more dangerous to our SOL
diers
Even the Spanish did better than this.
for they managed to preserve the outward
seubrance of peace and to carry on the
trade Of the islands and to maintain open
ports. The boast of Gen Otis that TWEEN
~ ports in the islands of Samar and
Leyte. and in the southern part of I.u-
ION. had been opened by Gen. Kobbe is
laughed at by those who know the value
of these twenty ports 1t is claimed that
10 one cares whether they are opened or
closed. for they have no trade and the
country tributary to them is non-pro
ductive and non-consuming
If 1t Is incumbent on the American peo-
pie to subdue these Philippine islanders
to crush their aspirations for freedom and
self-government, 1t would be merciful not
to prolong the agony, but to give them the
coup de grace swiftly and effectively.
The present methods are but torture and
barbarism If the trouble is not ended
soon. the United States may expect some
European government TO offer its serv-
Ices as a peace maker and. like Presi-
dent Mckinley prior to the Spanish war
when he interviewed on behalf Of poor. suf-
fering Cuba, to make the offer in the
name of humanity and Christian ciyiJiza-
ton.

SMART SHORT STORIES.

At the Louisiana purchase dinner Brun-
dldge, of Arkansas, told a story of justice
tempered with mercy to illustrate the
finer sentiments of the people. His mar
rative was apropos of the poor man who
for swearing was fined $3.50 in an Ar
kansas community Of tense morality, and
then was turned loose at the instance of
the most pronounced moralist and church
goer present, who assumed responsibility
for the assessment as the act was
dellcately called Mr.. Brundidge said the
man who exercised clemency In the case
OF which he told was Judge Williams Of
the federal court of Arkansas. On re-
cent occasion poor man was arra1gned
for sending through the mails letter that
was improper. The guilt was established,
and the circumstances We're decidedly
bad. Judge Williams. sentenced the man
TO two years in the penitentiary. and then
said:
Prisoner, 1 observed during the trial
yesterday, when things were going against
you, your wife was overcome, and you,
forgetting your own concern, devoted
yourself to comforting her. A man who
would do that can't be wholly depraved.
1 take off six months of that term for
the affection you showed the poor woman.
Then [ also noticed that when your little
child was taken with a chill you left
your seat and went to the back part of
the court room and devoted yourself to
nursing the little one until the attack
passed off. [ release you from a year of
your term, because of that action. which
showed you had good fatherly instincts.
All through this trial I have noticed
that you held the baby most OF the time,
relieving your wife of the care, and that
1t was evident you were accustomed to
share the responsibilities of the family.
Prisoner, on such manifestation OF love
for your family, I take off the remain
ing six months of the sentence. You are
free, but don't write any more bad let
ters.''
Judge" asked the district attorney,
with a tone of sarcasm, '"if there had been
another child in that family to receive
the fatherly attention of the prisoner.
what would you have done?"
Mr. District Attorney replied the
court, with instant appreciation of tho
situation, 81 would have sent you to Jail
for six months for prosecuting him.

TIE MORALITY OF BILLIARDS AND
ROWLING,

NJ w LIMO
The decision of the officers Of the St
Paul branch of the Young Mems Chris
| tan association to place billiard tables
and bowling alley In the rooms of the
association is g. step In the right direc-
ton. That the plan Is approved by a
! large majority of the pastors Of city
churches IS one of the most encouraging
symptoms OF an intelligent awakening
in church matters that has been noted
| for many years.
There is nothing inherently wrong IN
either of the games, Billiards is a game
nf pure skill and aids In developing the
! nerve power and mentality Of man to
a greater extent than any other game
1t Is equally as moral a game as croki-
| mole and such like harmless games which
are enjoyed and played in the most
| strait-laced of church circles, and it is
! infinitely more attractive and eIevating
| to person of intelligence. 1t Is to be
regretted that this excellent game IS
usually found as an adjunct TO the saloon
and so rarely seen in the rooms Of g.
church society. where the wild hilarity
| of the fish pond" and the grabbing have
driven the more intelligent youth forth to
seek more rational amusement.
AS fer the game of bowls. as a physical
developer 1T has. among indoor games,
no equal Like billiards 1t has too long
been associated with the saloon and it is
high time 1t was given an opportunity to
display its manifold attractions in re-
spectacle society.
One of the city pastors has not been
able to reconcile himself to the inneva-
ton proposed. His mind views billiards
and bowling as things which, by consten,
association with beer and beer drinkers.
have become contaminated. The very
mention of the games brings to his
minds eye the saloon and the beer ear
den. But it might be we'll for him to
consider that billiards and bowling have
simply been used by the owners OF
saloons as a device to attract customers
and to amuse and interest them. In the
same way, SdiOOnkSeperS nave introduced
music into their places, and because
music is heard and enjoyed in saloons is
no reason for denouncing 1t and barring
it from respectable society.
Pastors complain of the lack of interest
taken In church work by young men
and women. and some of them recognize
that 1t is because youth finds church
work intensely dull. They want and re.
qutre some amusement until they reach
that sober age when even dull sermon
Is listened to with respectful attention
and a pretense Of interest Youth has no
respect for dullness and cannot even nre-
tend to be interested In dull goodness, for
1t recognizes no such thing as good dull
ness Healthful games which afford the
young people some scope for intellectual
or physical effort have their proper
place IN the broad field of church work
and the sooner this fact is generally
recognized the better it will be for the
churches.
