Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1902-08-14

THE union services of the Mexico
churches closed last Sunday even
ing. Rev. A. w. Kokendoffer
preached the sermon. His theme
was, "The Application of the Col
den Rule as the Specific Need of
the Twentieth Century" The SER
mon was a mastery effort and held
the vast audience almost spell
bound. Rev. KokendOffer is a
most pleasant and fOrceful speaker
and when he speaks always says
something. He thinks selfishness
and greed the sin of this age.
Spoke of the merger, combine, cor
poration, guild and trades union,
and of labor against capital and
capital against labor, the few
grinding down the many and mem
bers of the same household divided
against each other-all for greed
and gain. This was bordering i
little onto present day politics, bu
how important that the Colder
Rule should be applied in sucl
| cases.

EDGAR S. MAclAY DISCHARGED.
President Roosevelt Ordered Summar.
Dismissal Of the "Skilled Laborer."


Washington, D. C.-Secretary Long
has discharged Edgar Stanton Maclay
from his position as skilled laborer'
In the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Mr..
Maclay having refused to resign when
requested to do so. Mr.. Maclay is
author Of naval history, and in its
last volume sharply criticised Admiral
Schley and denounced him as q
"caitiff, poltroon and coward"
Secretary Longs action was taken
by direction Of the President, and fol-
lowed q conference between the Presi.
dent and the Secretary, who took to
the White House with him letter
from Maclay in response to the re-
quest for his resignation sent by the
Secretary.
In this letter Maclay submitted that
he could not be removed or be com.
PEELED to resign without definite
charges being made against him, and
without having an opportunity to an
swer those charges.
Although the Civil Service rules give
employees of the public service the
opportunity of answering charges that
may be preferred against them, the
President exercised his prerogative
in the present instance and directed
Maclay's removal, it being held that
the latter was aware unofticially, if
not officially, of the reasons which ac-
tuated the Executive in taking the
course determined upon. Secretary
Long said the action just taken would
dispose Of the case finally.

TREACHERY IN MlNDANA0
Filipino Officials in Misamis Provine.
Accused of Treason.
General Davis Wishes the Restoration o
Military Rule-Luzon Insurgents
Anxious For Peace.

Manila.-General George W. Davis
commanding at Zamboanga, Island Of
Mirdanao, has requested that the Prov
ince Of Misamis, Mindanao, again bt
placed under military control. Genera
Davis has proof that the recently
elected Presidente and ce-CouncillorI
and the leading men of Cagayan d.
Misamis are guilty of treason in fur
nishing ammunition to the insurgenti
within the last month. The fiscal OF
the Province of Misamis is also impli
Gated.
The evidence shows that all thest
men were members Of the secret kati
punan Society. General James F
Wade, commanding the American
forces on Cebu Island, concurs in anG
indorses the request Of General Davis
and, reviewing the situation at Min
danao, says that he is satisfied thai
the ends Of justice, peace and good
government will soonest be obtained
by the restoration Of military control
to the Province of Misamis and the
overcoming Of all resistance to thai
authority. 1t is expected that the Unit
ed States PHILIPPINE Commission will
refuse this request, as they did sim.
liar application made by General Chat
fee concerning the Province Of Tay'
abas, Luzon, where the insurgents
have recently been particularly active
General Chaffee, speaking on the sit
uation in the islands, said he consid'
cred conditions in the Philippines tc
be hopeful, and that by the end Of Feb
ruary all the turbulent provinces viii!
have been pacified. General Chaffee
excepts the Island of Samar, however,
which will probably require some
months longer. There the situation
demands policy Of rigid starvation,
and the giving of food only to those
who surrender or who stay in the
towns.
The closing of the ports in Lagura
and Batangas provinces, in Luzon, has
had a most salutary effect, as the
measure has resulted in touching the
pockets Of the Manila Filipinos who
have been aiding the insurgents. Tbs
former are now anxious for peace, and
are working to that end. In order to
hasten matters. these Filipinos will CO.
operate with the forces under Captain
Bell in Batangas and Laguna.
