Compulsory Civilization.

The news dispatch reporting the Or
ganization Of legislative council for
the Moros, to Ameicanize their govern
ment. adds naively that there is a
feeling of unrest" among those I'M
grateful people. This is probably put
ting it mildly. A long time ago, we re-
member these same Moros said point
eddy to the Americans: I'VE do not
want you in our country. We do not
like your language or your religion.
There is only one true religion and that
is ours"
A man sure that he is 1t is always
a tough proposition to meet. There is
nothing you can do for him that is not
a sort of dissertation in his eyes, for he
does not want the comfortable perfec-
ton of his being marred by your hands
of mere clay. A people imbued with
this same idea, like the Moros, is still
more difficult to approach, with civil
izing motives. They were satisfied as
with protest and defiance Their for
tifications have been ruined and they
have been forced into a semblance of
pacification, but it is only semblance;
like the American Indian, they will al
ways with a few exceptions, be saw
ages at heart, because they did not de-
sire civilization. or recognize its beauty
II seems a pity, when there are so
many unsatisfied and aspiring people,
crying for hand to aid i'm their uplift-
ing and that in our own country, that
we should ever have undertaken the
civilization" of a people so well con-
tent and followers of the "only true re-
ligion.' What is there in life better
than to be content and to have a firm
religious conviction? What shall we
offer the Moros in place of this? Are
we any-better or any happier than saw
ages. in the forced and unnatural ex-
istences that many of us lead?
If il is the advance of civilization that

The governor has now pardoned a
burglar who has only served out two
thirds Of his sentence. The plea in
this instance was that the man had
been punished enough. No criminal
has been punished enough until he has
served the full legal penalty. Our laws
are supposedly just and our judiciary
men of correct judgment. Why NEEDLE

be found that they are mistaken alto
gether. and that the prisoner is inno-

our laws and render them proper re-

pardon and evasions? There can be no
salutary discipline to a community in
laws which are not respected.

Organized labor need not kick
against the scheme of setting the &C.
cupants of our prisons at work upon
the highways. One has only to try to
hire somebody to do work of that kind
in order to find out how few laboring
men want it. They all have better
jobs, nowadays, or are after them. 1t
would be a real boon to any community
likes to do could only be done without
the unpleasant preliminary of suppli-

Georgia has new law under which
convicts are set at work on the roads
So far as this can be done without in
juring free labor the example is good
one to follow, though there is objection
to the presence of chain gangs on the
public highways. At all events the
law is popul ,r in georgia. wh,it 10
counties have applied to the prison
commission for the quota assigned to
them. With nearly 500 felony con-
victs being worked on the roads, and
with this force being supplemented by
the misdemeanor prisoners in the diff
ferent counties, the good roads move
ment is making considerable progress
in that state. The example is one
that other states might do well to ini-
tate.

People who make and care for the
beautiful gardens in which this and
other New England villages abound
have probably no realization of what
their thought and labor adds to the
pleasure of others. Many of us who
have no homes or time to spend in
plant culture, but who love all beauti-
full growing things, may, by means of
the. patient, careful work of these peo-
pie who make their home grounds so
attractive, have our fill of the fra

There is another phase of the situa-
ton. AS If the newspapers had not
given due and sufficient notice that
the markets. grocers and all stores
were to close on Monday the girls in
the telephone office were called every
minute or two to make connections
with this or that place of business.
Their explanation that it was Labor
Day and that the stores were not open
did not suffice. Many subscribers to
the phone exchange got irate over the
matter, and made very emphatic re-
marks. One man called for a certain
number. and being told the usual story,
insisted that It was not so at all. and
he knew it." In proof he called up
the Brooks House, sent a bell boy to
the nearby store, with instructions to
look in and see if there was anybody
there. The boy returned and reported
that he saw two men doing some
thing" in the rear of the store but he
admitted that the door was locked and
the curtains half drawn. That set
tied it. of course, and the telephone
girls got a roast direct. But when
the men in the store heard of IL they
smiled. for they were clerks fixing
things and under instructions from the
boss" not to open up or answer the
phone. no matter who called or how
many times the bell rang.
