To Butter Our Bread

Denmark, almost one-third the size of
North Carolina, with sterile soil and
severe climate. exports TO England alone
$50, 000, GOO worth of butter every year;
North Carolina, with its rich soil and
genial climate, buys butter. But Den
mark has universal education. public
high schools for the sons and daughters
of farmers are found at a rate which
would put two or moro in every county
in North Carolina while industrial and
technical schools, public libraries and
farmers clubs are literally supported
and attended. Denmark knows on
which side her bread IS buttered and
how TO butter it. We have not vet
learned the lesson, but we will, sooner

RIOTS AT Ia MING Flu.
Thousand People Said to Have Been Killed
Battle Over Collecting Indemnities
CBy the Associated Press)


Pekin, March 29.-Chinese officials
say that thousand people have been
killed in riots at Ia Ming Flu, the
houthernmost prefecture of the prov
ince of Chi Lii This, perhaps. is an eX-
aggeration, but the loss of life was un-
doubtedly great.
The riots were due to attempts OF
local officials to collect indemnities for
the Catholics as arranged between the
officials and the priests.
Soldiers have been dispatched TO quell
the disturbances, and a tatoai has been
sent to adjust the differences.
The officials warn The missionaries to
keep out of the disturbed district
Such resistance to the payment of mis-
sionary claims is to he expected in local
tiles where the population is poor and
large sums are levied.

cation by a recommendation that $1,000
troops be withdrawn from the Philip
pines and sent to China. The with
drawal of so many troops would insure
insurgent control Of large part of the
Philippines. The Secretary says that at
least two-thirds of the Is, 900 were Who'll
ly unnecessary IN China. "The appli-
cation ard recommendation, says the
Secretary, were in fact accompanied by
a request from Gen. Miles that supreme
con- mand of the allied forces should be
obtained for him. Under these circum-
stances President Mckinley declined to
authorize the sending of Gen. Miles
either to the Philippines or to China. y
year afterwards the Secretary of War
authorized the Lieutenant General to
extend his inspection tour to the Phil
ippines for the purpose of inspection
only. He has never been authorized to
go for any ether purpose"
Whether the carrying out of Gen.
Miles plan would interfere with the
present civil and military control in the
Philippines must be determined, the
Secretary says, by the proposed order
itself. The Lieutenant General asks
authority ito give such directions as J.
may deem advisable and judicious for

WOULD BE A DICTATOR.


the Secretary, ito command Gen. Chat
| fee. ard he asks authority also to take
such measures as will tend to restore
rs far rs possible confidence to the peo-
pie of those islands, and demonstrate
that the purpose of our government is
prompted by the highest sense of JUS
tice.' That means, if it means anything,
authority to do himself, or to require
the civil officers Of the Philippines to
do under his direction, the very duties
which were charged upon the Philip
pine Commission and the civil governor
in the islands by President Mckinley,
and which they are now engaged in
doing.
The Secretary says If the measures to
be taken are to be determined by Gen.
Miles "the system of civil government
by which we have been gradually and
steadily surerseding military control
would again be subordinated to military
power, and the people of the islands
would be subjected to the arbitrary
control of 4 military dictator"
Referring to the reflections of Gen.
Miles upon the conduct of the military
forces in the islands, based, as he says,
upon official reports, Secretary Root
say5 that a report of the civil governor
of the province of TaYabas, containing
in general terms and without specifca-
tions or names, serious charges against
the military administration in that plo v-
ince and against the conduct of the
army generally in its relations to The
civil government was forwarded by
Governor Taft to the Secretary of War.
The report was sent TO Gen. Chaffee
with orders that he fully investigate
the charges as soon as possible and
should they be found true, to apply the
necessary administrative and disciple
nary measures to correct the evils. He
adds that TIE necessary tlmc for the
investigation as yet has not elapsed,
and expresses his regret that the Off
Ger CT the highest rank in the army
should assume the truth of charges re-
fiectine upon the credit of the army N
advance of the investigation which las
been ordered. and without giving Gen.
Chaftee, upon whose particular com
mand the charges reflect, an opportuni-
ty 20 be heard"
The Secretary concludes by saying
that Gen. Miles plainly CVlnccs q de-
sign 10 procure the pUblica tion of the
charges and Of the Lieutenant Generals
acceptance thereof as true, in advance
o fthe investigation of their truth, and
the report thereon by Gen. Chaffee.
ROOSEVELT'S ENDORSEMENT.
I'm the interest of good discipline
and effective service, such course is
much to be regretted. Such charges
ought not to be published against our
eountrymen whom we have sent to labor
and fight under our flag on the other
side OF the world before they can be
heard in their own defense.
Under date of March p President
Roosevelt made the following endorse
ment upon the entire correspondence:
The memorandum of the Secretary
of War is approved as whole and as to
every part thereof. Had there been any
doubt before as to the wisdom of de-
| nying Gen. Miles request these papers
would remove such doubt.

HOW THE INDIANS VOTE,
They Are Very Deliberate and Then
Have q Simnle Method.

nave simple METHOD.
The Chickasaw Indians cast their
vote differently from the way the
white man does it, They meet the day
before the election, and none but
Chickasaws by blood is allowed to
vote. No white man or intermarried
citizens have the right of suffrage.
They go off to themselves and have Il
powwow. They decide for whom they
will vote after considering the matter
for tWenty-four hours.
The polling place is quite unlike that
of the white man. There is great
sheet of paper, white, yellow or brown
as the case may be, about three feet
square. Upon this sheet Of paper are
vast number of cross lines, regularly
ruled off with a pencil. Then down
one side of the sheet Of paper are
placed the names of all candidates fer
office, beginning with the candidates
for governor and running on down to
precinct officers. AT the top of the
sheet are the number of blank spaces
that will be required for the names Of
the voters. The judges of election sit
~ AAu pass vi AllOoC ClltlLICu W NOlc,
and there is a certainty that no illegal
votes are cast.
The Indian is thoroughly Deliberate
He takes his time when it comes to
voting. He proceeds to the polling
place, looks carefully over the poll
sheet, and if he is ready to cast his
ballot he calls out his name, and the
clerk records it Oh the sheet. Then the
clerk reads Off the names of the can
didates for governor. The voter DELHI
crates awhile, calls out the name Of
the candidate for whom lie desires 10
vote, his vote is recorded. and the
names Of the candidates for the next
office are called oUt, and so on through
the list, till all the Offices represented
are voted for
Thus it is that every voter knows
exactly how every other voter has east
his ballot, and there are no remarks.
no suggestions and no auarrclS over
differences of opinion.

The other deities could not induce her
to come out, so began to make a noise

drove all her sulkiness away.
The sword was taken by Susenoo.

beautiful girl. SUsenoo placed eight
great tubs of wine in his way and when
