In his last annual report, Maj. Gen.
Chaffee, comman ding the department
OF the Philippines, declared that it
Will require time, tact and patience to
establish United States authority over
the Moros country in the Philippines.
But he says the purpose never should
be lost sight of. Says the General:
"The sooner the Sultan of Joos, title
actual or assumed, as sovereign and
as sole owner of land in the Jolo arch
ipelago shall be quoted, he better for
the situation. Probably there is little
doubt that money consideration
would relieve the situation of his
claim and presence. It will be impos.
sIbie for many years to ignore the
Dattos, and deal directly with the
Moros, as is done by civilized and
christian people. TO advance SO far
will consume much time and lay re.
suit In occasional conflicts for the
modification of present beliefs to &C.
cord with the above ideas, will in
some cases require that militia be
used" The General advocates a mill
itary- civil rm Of government for the
natives with whom the military is
more or less actively engaged. He
declares that workable knowledge of
native language is essential and will
be valuable for at least 100 years. He
recommends that congress give DO.
nus of 5000 to each officer and enlist.
ed man who attains state of profic.
iency in the native languages and 500
additional for proficiency in the Span
ish language.

NEVER INVITED ROOSEVELT
Since He Was Left Out Lonrino
Makes q Statement.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 14.-Consider.
ale surprise was occasioned Yesterday
when Governor Longino publicly de-
MED that he had ever invited Presi-
dent Roosevelt to take a bear huntin 9
trip IN Mississippi and the statement
that he had never discussed suoh a
snject, either orally or by letter,
with the President.
From other sources it is learned
that the President obtained the IDEA
that he had been invited to hunt
with the Governor through the Off
ciousness of a former Mississlppian
who is now living in Washington,
anc who casually mentioned to the
President several months since thatit
Uoul be nice thing for him to
spend few days hunting bear with
the Governor i'll the delta swamps
during his contemplated Southern
tour. President Roosevelt readily
agreed with the idea and in some way
the conversation was construed as al
invitation coming second hand, as it
were, from the Governor How the
Presidents mind was disabused is not
known, but about ten days ago he in
formed Gov. Longino that he would
not take the bear hunting trip, and a
day or so later the hunting jaunt with
President Fish was announced.

sand dunes of the Atlantic coast, which
are advancing on valuabie property,
may be diverted from their course by
building on top of them fences placed
at an angle to the direction of the

the dunes may be prevented by plant

WILSON'S REGRETS
On Crop Reports Threaten to
Cause Trouble---Cuba and
Panama Questions.

Washington.-Th letter of Secre-
tary Wilson, sent as reply to the
questions laid before him by the Jour-
nal of Commerce, has been the source
of considerable interest in technical
circles in Washington. It is serious
~ to be doubted whether the depart
ment will be able to maintain pol
icy of privacy as to crop methods.
There are already good many per-
sons in Congress vino are looking with
very critical eyes toward the Depart
ment of Agriculture. Should the de-
partment go too far in any direction
it might find strong movement on
foot designed to cut some of its APP
preparations for statistical work, or at
all events, to prevent their increase
Not only this, but it is entirely within
the power of Congress to make a
complete and through investigation of
the Department of Agriculture. One
thing which, il is believed, would be
likely to work in this direction is the
expression used in Secretary Wilson's
letter with ference to cotton growers
and the implication which is thereby
conveyed. Secretary Wilson's words
were that"it seems that we are satisfy
ing the growers, and we regret it if we
are not also satisfying those who de al
in the staple" 1t is pointed out that
it not proper in the province of the
department to satisfy" either the
growers or the dealers. but only to
give out those statistics which will be
of service and will represent correctly
che true state of affairs. These may,
or may not, be pleasing to the grow
ers or to the dealers.

The Secretay informed Mr.. Crom-

ground for solicitude; that he was
making substantial progress, and
that be was sarguine of a satisfac-

Mr.. Hay has satisfied himself that
there would be no objection from
Congress to this course of procedure
and with the passage of the pro
posed amendment this government
would go on and perfect the pur-
chase, and then take up the work of
construction. The fact is not to be
disguised that any attempt on the
part of Colombia to hold up the
United States for the payment for
the right of way of an additional
sum exceeding the bounds Of reason
is to be resisted by this government

what Secretary Hay has said that

1T IS WITH REAL REGRET that
league baseball in Utah. Reasons for
the moribund condition OF a once prom
Using league are as numerous as those
who advance them. but one thing is
certain; that is. the promoters of the
league have not had the loyal support
to which they were entitled knock
ers'' have been far more plentiful than
boosters" and the result might have
been foreseen from the beginning.
Baseball is one of the very few pro-
fessional sports that is almost abso-
lutely free from possibilities of fraud
1t possesses a charming uncertainty
that never allows interest to flag. In
baseball the game is never out until
it is played out. no matter who is doing
the playing. This has been demon
strated time and again IN Utah.
There is no sport which approaches
baseball in popularity in the United
States. More people read baseball news
than read any other article on the
sporting page. Fans" can be found
everywhere. some of them loyal, some
of them disloyal. but all lovers of the
great game. 1t is pity. then. that
the Indications point so strongly to
discontinuance of good baseball in
Utah.

played here this year has not been

the money, far more thar ii has re-
ceived. ) comparison of the tabulated
scores of the Utah league and the
scores of other leagues. even the Ma
tional and the American, does not re-
suit so unfavorably for Utah as might
be supposed. Errorless games in the
east are the exception, not the rule,
and scores of 1912. 1-5. 1873 and so on
are not at all infrequent.
And. be 1t remembered. the bright
est stars in the baseball heavens are
twinkling in those leagues. In Utah
low salaries are paid, but the men
have done excellent work, everything
considered. If the games had been
patronized as they should have been
patronized, another story would be
told now.
The Herald isn't blaming anybody
for the existing conditions. 1t is the
privilege of those who don't want to
support baseball to refuse to support
it, The apparent disruption of the
league is. however. a source of regret.
and The Herald hopes that matters
may yet be arranged so that the sched-
ule may be plaved out
