CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield Republican Qnd.)
says: There is no doubt whatever
that. thus far, compulsory arbitration
in Australasia has been successful.
The only really doubtful point remain
ing is whether the system will endure
the ordeal of hard times, when wages
tend to fall. 1t must be confessed by
advocates of the law that the test will
not be complete until it experiences
the effects of a severe business de-
preston"
The Nashville American (Dem.)
says; THE four largest railway sys-
TENS operating in tile South are the
Louisville and Nashville, Southern,
Illinois Central and Seaboard Air Line,
and the presidents of these roads,
Messrs. Smith, Spencer. Fish and Will
liams respectively, have said there is
to be no merger of Southern railways
Are they to be believed, or a crowd of
political agitators who are raising the
cry of merger to prejudice the public
mind against these railroads in order
that they may reap a personal bene-
fit?"
The New York Times Qnd. Dem
says: we can do something, says
Mr.. Roosevelt. We can. We can
withdraw the outrageous favors which
some of the trusts enjoy under the tar
IN. We can 50 modify the tariff sys-
tenn as 10 open the markets which the
trusts seek ~ monopolize TO the COM
petition Of the world. These would be
practical and effective safeguards for
the public against the abuses Of which
the trusts are capable and Of which
some Of them are guilty. But Of these
simple and sensible and businesslike
measures the President has not word

THE MoRos STILL REBELL1oUs.

The war in the Philippines is not yet
over. The Moros have not been con-
quered. There will be no permanent
peace in the islands until they are.
They were never conquered by the
Spaniards. who permitted them to do
just about as they pleased. In fact,
it is the understanding that Spain paid
them to keep the peace. Evidently the
Sultans and Dattos think they can
force the United States to adopt a SIM
liar policy. They will find out they
are mistaken. 1t is the policy of the
government to settle the question as
to the control of all the islands at once.
1t is a wise one. Any other would be
a source of constant trouble and an
noyance Besides, it would be costly.
The United States have tried TO con-
quer the Moros by kindness. and fail
ed. Now they are about to use force(
and there are reasons for thinking that
the war that will be waged viii be
something like that which Gen. Jacob
be childs play.
Our troops have been attacked many
times since an agreement was made
with the Moro chiefs in the interest of
peace. The chiefs have not abided
by their agreements. 1t is clear from
what has occurred within the last few
months that they never intended to
live up to them They seem to have
an idea that they can drive the Amer
leans out of the Island of Mindanao.
A forward movement under Gen.
Sumner has been ordered. 1t is di
rected against the Macin Moros. Re-
Gently they have been the chief ag
gressors. Some of them attacked
camp of our troops recently within
very few days after an understanding
had been reached with their chiefs that
there should be no more hostile acts
ON their part.
Our troops have suffered so much
at the hands of these treacherous Mo-
ros that they are pervaded by a spirit
Of retaliation OF course the rules of
civilized warfare will be observed, but
the war will not be stopped on mere
promises of future good behavior.
The Moros will be taught a lesson.
They will be made to understand that
the United States mean to dominate
the Moro country and that they have
the power to dominate it. Unless we
are greatly mistaken the Moros will
be anxious for peace before the cam
paign which Gen. Chaffee has begun is
concluded.

A Natural Inuuiry.

Some years ago a local politician and
saloon keeper of some influence in
the old Fourth Ward-Pat OBrien by
name-was much troubled by the wa
ter main of the street leakinsl into the
front cellar of his house, and inter
fering, among other things, with his
keeping chickens, of which he was very
fond. Being a man of considerable in
fiuence in ward politics, says the New
York Times, he resolved to call In
the aid of the powers that be, and to
that end first interviewed the alder
man of his district, usually a tried
friend in time of need. The results of
his interview are best told in his own
language in reciting the affair to a
friend afterward:
well, Moike, 1 goes first to Alder
man Clancy and, says OF, Good morn
in, Mr. Alderman.
Says he, Good mornin' : says Oh,
'Oi've lake in me cellar. and 1 can't
stop ito and l can't kape Chickens
Says he. 'Ye must see Mr.. Flana-
gan, the leader of the district; OF can't
help yer
80 OF goes to Mr.. Flanagan. Says
Oh, Good mornin', Mr.. Flanagan. Me
name is Pat O'Brien; Oh lives in the
Fourth Ward and controls forty votes:
Oi've lake in me cellar. and Oh can't
kape chickens
Sage he, 'Ye must see Mr.. Hanni-
gan, the Water Commissioner
SO l goes to Mr.. Hannigan, and
Oi'm mad now. Says OF, Good morn
in, Mr.. Commissioner Says He,
Good mornin.' Says OF, Me name is
Pat O'Brien; Oh lives in the Fourth
Ward and Oh controls forty votes;

"Shop talk which it is the fashion
to deprecate. is responsible for some
of the best anecdotes which get into
print. Here are two. says the Pilgrim.
which were interchanged by brace
of insurance men not above swap2ing
stories of their calling:
Into the Office of a fire insurance
agent came an ancient spinster who
owned a little house just on the out
skirts of the town.
Il want to insure my house." said
she.
Where is the house, madam. and
how large a policy do you want to
To lie out?"
We'll, now, I want to know some
things first. If 1 insure it for 5000,
and pay my premium, and it burns
down, do you pay me S900?"
Why, most assuredly.'
We'll, do you make lot of trouble
trying to find out if it was set afire ?"
Naturally the agent admitted that if
it looked like a case of arson the COM
pany would investigate.
THERE" said the property owner, in
dignantly, Il told John there was some
sort of catch about this insurance bus
ness!" and Herewith departed unin
sured.
1t was in New York city that the
heroine of the other story found that
fire insurance was not all she hoped
for. The policy on her house-a big
one, for it was a fine edif1ce in the
best part of the city-was brought to
her by her agent.
You had better give me a check
for the premium, now" said he.
Why, how much is it?'
"A little over 500. Wait moment.
l will get the exact amount"
"Oh, how tiresome,' cried the prop
erty owner. I'm in such a hurry, and
besides my bank account is little
low. Tell the company to let it stand,
and deduct it from what they owe me
when the house burns down"

We had occasion yesterday to COM
ment on the marriage of two old per-
sons who had passed the three score
and ten of the Psalmist. An example
of the sprightliness of old age not
quite so pleasing is afforded by Mr.. and
Mrs. Reuben Nagle, of Pennsylvania,
who have sought in the divorce court
a severance of the marital bonds that
have bound them together for more
than half a century. There is an ele-
ment of sadness in the occurrence, to
which the divorce court and its at
tendant publicity play but a sorry ac-
compartment. 1t would have been
wiser and better had the veil of do
nestle secrecy been drawn around the
poor old couples few remaining years
of life. There is no fool like an old
fool" they say. and the saying finds
warrant for its truth in more ways
than one.

Two methods of dealing with victims
of the speed madness have recently
sprung into more or less popular favor.
One involves the adoption of the
French system of licensing chaffeurs,
which seems to be founded in wisdom
and to promise good. The other comes
with the invention of a speed register,
the dial of which can be seen from the
sidewalk. If the registers are accurate
and their use compelled it will be inn
possible for the chauffeur accused of
exceeding the legal rate of speed to
make effective denial.

THE NEWPORT COLONY DEFEND


The Rev. DR.. Braddin Hamilton of
Newport feels aggrieved by the
rabid and vituperative editorial
which Mr.. Henry Watterson launched
at the -Four Hundred" of
New York. the majority of
whom make their homes in New
port in the summer. Dr. Hamilton is
sure that all of them are not Foul
birds" and that the women are not
Tough girls" He says that he has
lived in Newport for about twelve
years, and that he is in a position to
speak authoritively of the Newport
Colony. There are in 1t about two hun
dred families, he says, and there
are only about half dozen persons In
the entire number whose lives cores
pond with what Mr.. Watterson says.
These half dozen, DR.. Hamilton says,
are common blooded people who have
unfortunately gotten hold of a little
money"
DR.. Hamilton is sure that these vul-
garians do not lead the colony. They
have a sort of a position in the social
life of Newport, but they are not high
ly respected. They have achieved a
certain kind of notoriety by the lavish
use of money, but they are not lead
ers.
1t is probable that Mr.. Watterson
was too severe. In fact, his article
was thought to be so unjust that most
of the New York papers passed it over
in silence.
1t is doubtless true, as DR.. Hamilton
says, that the great majority of those
designated as the -Four hundred" are
refined, clever peoples who are averse
to the notoriety thrust upon them by
certain newspapers. The few among
them who are constantly seeking noto-
riety, or doing things which attract
attention, give the colony the reputa-
ton on which Mr.. Watterson based his
article.
The thing for the Newport colony to
do is to suppress the vulgar element
that is responsible for the poor opinion
which is pretty generally entertained
of the people of the colony. In the
colony many of the wealthiest and best
educated people of the country are to
be found. They ought to be examples
of clean living and good citizenship.

THE APPOINTMENT or MIR. ADAMS.

The Supreme Court of Georgia, es-
teemed throughout the country as a
tribunal of high character and ability
will receive a very considerable addi-
ton in both respects when Mr. Samuel
B. Adams puts on the judicial ermine
as one of its members. 1t is a misfor-
tune that Mr.. Adams term is to be so
short; il would be a matter of very
fervent scongratulation if his services
were to be~a the disposal of the state.
as membef~of its Supreme Court, for
many years to come. The Georgia bar
cannot produce his superior as a law
yer and the decisions Justice Adams
will write are certain to be models of
legal reasoning and apt and lucid ex-
preston. Savannahians are pleased
that the appointment has come to their
city, but it is the state and not Mr..
Adams that should be the subject of
congratulaton. Mr.. Adams will not.
in all probability take the oath of Of
fee until just before the meeting of
the court in October.
