ON MAJOR BATCHEL0R.
The Army and Navy Journal Tells of His Work
as Colonizer.

Tho Army and Navy Journal Of August
18th has the following to say of Maj.
Josenb p. Bachelor, formerly of this
citv who died in the Philippines on the
7th.:
"a PRACTICAL PROMOTER OF PEACE. F"
.eMaior Joseph B. Bachelor, Jr., U. S.
retired. whose death in the Philippines
is noted elsewhere in this number OF the
ARMY and Navy Journal, was fine eX-
annie of the soldier colonizer, whose
work both military and civil, has been a
vital force for progress in the ISLANDS.
He went to the Philippines with the Z4th
r. 6 Infantry, to which he had been at
tacbed ever since leaving the United
States Military Academy in 1880, and
served with it in much of the hardest
work undertaken by the American forces
in the islands. In the course of an ar
duous march through the Province OF
Pangasinan, Island of Luzon, in 1899, he
wac greatly impressed with the agricul-
tural possibilities of the region, and upon
retiring from the active service OF the
Army. he settled there for the purpose
of founding new community. How Wen
he succeeded is indicated by the fact that
in less than three years he organized q
well ordered population of nearly 10000
persons into a peaceable, contented neigh
borhood with civil authority we'll estab-
lished and eagerly supported by loyal
natives, whose friendship he sedously cul-
tivated He taught them the arts of ag-
riculture and other industries, founded
schools for them and made them prosper
Gus by showing them that their interests
were identical with his own.
"The success of this novel undertaking
has been so pronounced that the commun-
ity has been recognized as a municipality
by the Philippine Commission, and it's
influence is acknowledged to be a bcne-
ficent agency in the material and intel
lectual development of the Filipino peo-
pie. In view of the practical results he
had already achieved in this admirable
venture the death of Major Bachelor
amounts to a national loss. For it is to
his efforts that we are indebted for a
practical demonstration of the feasible
ity of organizing the Filipinos into stable
communities under American methods,
and thereby establish durable assurances
of the loyalty and progress of their MEM
bers. 1t is in the institution, on a broad
scale. of the practical methods of Major
Bachelor that we shall find the strongest
guarantees of permanent peace and pros
perity in the archipelago"
