GOOD ROADS AND CIVILIZATION.

A Washington dispatch says that on the
urgent recommendation Of General Chaffee,
commanding the military forces in the
Philippines, the secretary of war has au-
thorized an expenditure of $4,000 for i'm
mediate use in the construction of a mill
tary road from a point on the coast Of the
Island of Mindanao to a point in the in
terror that is thickly populated. 1t Is ex-
pected the road will be valuable for bust
ness as well as for military purposes in case
il should be needed for the latter. Its con-
struction will be practical evidence to the
natives of the friendly designs and benefi-
cent policy Of the Americans. Good roads
are an important factor of civilization.
Nearly every account of the Philippines
dwells upon the wretched condition of the
roads there. or, rather. the absence Of
roads, which practically prevents internal
m except upon the n~avigable rivers.
The absence of roads was an immensc
drawback to military operations In the
islands, and their construction was one of
the first duties recognized by the American
authorities after the acquisition Of the
islands. The Philippine commission early
appropriated 100000 Mexican) to be ex-
pended In the construction of highways and
bridges, the work being placed under the
direction of the United States corps of en-
gineers. During the year 1901 they con-
structed over eight hundred miles of roads
and built them SO solidly as to resist the
tropical rains of the islands. The work Is
still going on. More miles of good roads
and more bridges have been constructed
since the American acquisition of the
islands than during the centuries of Span
ish rule. Nothing could better illustrate
the difference between a decadent and a
progressive government, and 1t may be
added that similar results were accom-
plished in Cuba during American occupa-
ton of the island and are now being ac-
complished in Porto Rico. Good roads, good
schools, good laws and good government
go hand in hand with republican govern
ment and American institutions, and are
fundamental doctrines of the imperialism"
which some weak-minde persons continue
to talk about.

holding men in slavery with the principles
OF the Christian religion. In the year 1896
the Yearly Meeting for that province took
up the subject as a public concern. and the
result was advice TO the members of 1t to
guard against future importations of At
rican slaves, and to be particularly atten-
tive to the treatment OF those who were
then in their possession" The movement
here referred to as having been started in
1888 may have been the Mennonite move
ment. for they came over a few years be-
fore that. 1t will be noticed, however,
that they are referred to as ''emigrants
who had adopted the principles of William
Penn and followed him into Pennsylvania"
If they had adopted the principles of Penn
they were no longer Mennonites, but
Quakers. 1t must be remembered that at
this time slavery existed in all the Amer
lean colonies. 1t was not abolished in Mas
sachusetts until 1871, nor in Connecticut
until 1884. 1t did not finally cease in New
York till 1927, although the law providing
for gradual emancipation of the slaves was
passed in 1893. The anti-slavery movement.
that started in Pennsylvania in 1858 was
much the earliest and for a long time the
only one of the kind in the colonies. The
subject continued to be agitated by the
Quakers until, In 1776, the Yearly Meeting
enacted that the owners of slaves who re-
fused to emancipate them should be ex-
PEELED from the church. The protest adopt
ed at Germantown in 1858 was undoubtedly
the first public expression against slavery
made in the colonies. Those who made it
may have been Mennonites originally. but
they seem to have become Quakers. Penn
sylvania was among the first of the States
to abolish slavery, she having adopted a
gradual emancipation act in 1850. and the
credit for this action was largely due to the
Quakers.

London Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
The many intelligent Americans who
have visited Stratford-on-Avon will SYM
pathize with the Englishmen who have
lately been protesting vigorously against
the gross vuigarization of that place-the
shop in the church lobby, the ~overcharging
Of visitors and the air OF paItry meanness
which rests over this profitable monument
to the Shakespeare idea.
Stratford is an ugly little village in a
lovely neighborhood. but its ugliness has
been vastly increased the last generation
by the efforts of people to advertise them
selves and their wares in pretending to
honor Shakespeare.
The glaring brick memorial hall Is unfor-
tunately now a fact, but something might
be done to alleviate the ugliness of the
place by closing the unnecessary theater
and removing certain so-called memorials
which do not belong there and crowd Strait
ford's few literary and artistic treasures.
The Ledger comments thus on the fore
going paragraphs:
1.-The dissertation OF the church at STRAIT
ford-on-Avon is one OF the abuses there
which is causing Indignation. IL has been
described as almost a national scandal.
A fixed fee is charged for admission. and,
as Is natural under the circumstances. the
visitors, led TO regard the place as a show.

1.-The shop alluded 10 is a place i'm the
church where photographs and other me-
MORALS are openly solo. A writer TO the
London Times said recently:
1.-The sacred building Is turned into a
house of merchandise, and the whole show
Is run on the vulgar lines OF a catchpenny
and money-makiEg exhibition. IL is hard
TO believe that the bishop and archdeacon
can be aware of this dissertation; II IL is
allowable at Stratford there seems no rea-
son why every vicar In the diocese should
not open his church as an exhibition hall
for pictures and other fancy stationery
more or less connected with his church.
"A very large sum of money must be
collected In this unrighteous and illegal
way, and what is done with IL Ii OF very
small moment. / have no doubt that the
vicar and church wardens lay the fiattering
JUNCTION to their souls that the money so
earned Is well spent. II IL Is spent In the
so-called restoration they cannot be con-
graduated on the result. Restoration at
Stratford means the sweeping away OF
everything that could have had any con-
nection with Shakspeare-hlling the fine
windows with poor glass. some quite hid
eous, and erecting a black and white pull
pit. which is of good workmanship, but IL
a marvel OF expensive ugliness.
IF the vicar and church wardens really
cannot run the show with more decency
let them confess their weakness and give
II up. Let them stop all sacred services
ment as a national memorial. and then let
them build for themselves a new parish
church, which will be treated with the rev.
erence and respect which is now happily
given 10 all English parish churches. STRAIT
ford-on-Avon excepted"

MEDICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS.

During a recent visit to the country a
gentleman Of this city watched a village
blacksmith shoeing a horse. He worked in
the old-fashioned rou~gh-and-ready way,
and when the horse started because he had
been hurt by too deep a cut in his hoof the
smith dealt him a heavy blow in his side
with a hammer to make him stand still.
The animal trembled with fright and pain.
In all his years of shoeing horses the smith
had not yet learned that they have feel
ings. 1t has taken the mass of mankind a
long time to learn this lesson, but they are
learning 1t gradually. The result is that
dumb brutes of all kinds receive better
treatment than they formerly did,. includ-
ing even scientific medical treatment. Per-
haps this is partly due to mercenary mo-
tives. A few days ago a cow sold at auc-
ton In this city for $1,000 and a bull for $1O,-
coo. 1t Is not an thing nova
days for a horse TO bring much higher fig
ures. Animals that represent so much
''spot cash" call for good care and treat
ment. The result is a new school of med
ical practice rightly called veterinary
science. 1t is within the memory OF elderly
persons when a person who attempted to
treat diseases OF horses was simply "a
horse DOCTOR" and perhaps the crude meth
DDS of the period did not deserve any more
dignihed a%ppellation- Now the veterinary
surgeon Is a graduate OF a college, and
many of. them have a lucrative practice.
1t stands to reason that there Is as large
and as interesting a field for the investiga-
ton. diagnosing and treatment OF animal
diseases as of human. and the duty of
treating them skillfully is not lessened by
the fact that they are dumb animals. Near
ly all the States now ave laws for the pre-
vention and spread of animal diseases. cat

That Lieutenant Peary did not reach the
north pole will not be the cause OF general
disappointment. For many years the
north pole has been sought by many ex-
plorers whose real purpose in reaching it
has never been made clear to most people.
While Lieutenant Peary got nearer the
pole than any other American searcher.
he did not get so near as Nansen in 1895
or Cogni in 1900. Lieutenant, or rather,
Commander Peary, reports that he got
within S4S miles of the pole. which seems
to make him confident that IT can be
reached. But that good would the reach
