The Trouble in Morocco.

Morocco, being a long way off and
of the cold world by the warm blanket
of the Monroe doctrine, is getting
scant notice and small headlines in the
papers of this country, though it is
having troubles of it's own which are
arousing much interest in Europe. And
yet the storm which is centering in the
north of Africa is of much concern to
all the civilized world, for the In
surrectionary movement against the
reigning Sultan is in fact much the
same sort of a reactionary. demonstra-
ton against foreigners, and against
civilization in general, as was the re-
cent Boxer movement in China. The
Europeans of the country and the few
being mainly missionaries, as was the
case in China, are now shut up in Fee,
the capital, and they will be in grave
danger of massacre at the hands of the
barbarous rebels if they capture the
city.
Besides this, the geographical posi-
ton of Morocco makes it impossible for
the powers of Europe to be Indifferent
as to what is going on there. England
is concerned on account of it's large
commercial interests and because the
country faces Gibraltar. France is
concerned because it has commercial
interests second only to those of Eng
land and because the eastern frontier
of Morocco is bounded by the French
colony of Algeria. And Spain is the
most concerned of all, because she has
always regarded her political claims in
Morocco as greater than those of other
powers of Europe. This claim seems to
he conceded by the rest of Europe and
there would be resentment against any
power which tried to dispute with
Spain, in the latter's present feeble
condition. it's position as regards nomi-
nally independent Morocco. This is
why Spain is prominent in the Morocco
complication, and why other powers
are sending warships to it's coast.
There may yet be interesting develop
ments in the northwestern corner of
Africa.

A Bachelor Governor.

The romance of a governors love-
letters is serial that is arousing much
interest through the country since some
friends of Governor-elect
w. ]. Bailey of Kansas, a confirmed
and obdurate bachelor. started the
story that he earnestly desired to enter
upon his term of office as a married
man. and that the people of Kansas
would not be reconciled to his occu-
pancy of the new executive mansion
unless he gave it a mistress. The press
gave this alleged condition of things
wide publicity and then came the
deluge. Mr.. Bailey is thoroughly con-
WINGED of the value of advertising. His
mail has been flooded with proposals
of marriage and with photographs OF
women of all ages, colors, creeds and
previous conditions of servitude.
They have come from all parts of the
Union, it is said-we wonder if there
are any from Maine in the lot-and in

right with the women and with the
world in general, he is having his
private secretary send out the follow
ing letter:
Dear Madam: I am directed by Mr..
| w. ]. Bailey to return to you the in
closed letter and photograph and to say
| that you doubtless have been misled by
| 4 Joke" perpetrated by his newspaper
friends to the effect that he is search
ing for a wife. Mr.. Bailey further di-
reefs me to say that he is in nowise
re sponsible for the publication of the
fiction and that your communication
has not been given publicity.
| Very respectfully,
H. J. BONE, Secretary.
| In an interview Mr.. Bailey says: "Of
| the hundreds of letters, proposals and
otherwise. that I have received from
strange women since the boys started
this absurd marrying story on me not
more than a score are what might be
called bright The bright letters, am
sure, were not sincere. They were
written doubtless to have fun with me,
and fictitious names probably were
signed to them. The women who
meant their proposals wrote business
like letters as a rule. which are not the
kind of love letters a man cares to re-
ceive. A letter proposing marriage
which contains no sentiment is as
empty as an overdrawn bank account"
Well, Mr.. Bailey deserves to be
deluged with foolish letters and to be
bothered by an army of idiotic women.
1T is more important to be married than
it is to be governor, and he ought to
Ihave looked after a wife before he
started or. the trail of the governorshio.
The best thing he can do is to get mar
ried at once, and if he has an iota OF
wisdom in his makeup, and there are
Ireasons to believe he has, he Will be the
proposing party himself. 1t would
have served the women right who have
written him if he had given their let
tiers and photographs to the news
lpapers for publication. 1t is an en-
couraging symptom that he was too
chivalric to do so.

scientists with their multitude OF cures
the typhoid germ continues to enjoy

The American people are gratitied to
hear that Admiral Cervera has been
made chief of staff of the Spanish
navy. 1t isn't a great navy, at pres
ent. as navies go, but his new honor
shows that the brave old officer is
again in royal favor and that Spain no
longer holds him responsible for the
loss of his fleet at Santiago, as it was
foolishly inclined to do at first. In the
hour of defeat and capture in 1898 he
so conducted himself that he won the
esteem and regard of the American
people, and they have only the best
wishes for him. 1t was not only his
gallantry when his fleet was destroyed
after it's desperate exit from the har-
Dor, but his freedom from any bitter
ness. his appreciation of the courtesy
and consideration of his captors, and
his modesty when he found himself
the center of so much attention, all
gave us a better feeling toward his race
and fastened the restoration of kindly
feeling between the countries.

Some of the European cities, notably
London and Paris. have solved to their
satisfaction the problem of the crowd
ing of the street cars which is just
now causing so much discussion In
New York. In those cities car is
permitted to carry only as many
passengers as there are seas for.
Finding that the authorizes were de-
termined to enforce this sensible rule,
the car companies have at once pro-
vided more cars. In American cities
there has been agitation for such a
regulation bat it has never been at
tempted. The American public Is
more good natured and patient in the
face of inconvenience and abuse than
the people are in most countries, and
moreover the hustle and rush hour
crowding in our great American cities
does not have a parallel in European
cities.

Chicago is going to have centennial
to celebrate. this year. and the Windy
City citizens are quite puffed up over
the great antiquity of their city thus
indicated. 1t was on August II, 1903,
that troops were sent to that spot from
Detroit to build a fort against the In
dams. From the arrival of that party
under Lieutenant Swearinger dates
Fort Dearborn which was abandoned,
a few years later, and rebuilt in 1916
and around which Chicago, a few dec
AIDES later. began to grow. To be sure
the real Chicago only dates from the
immortal kick of the Widow Leary's
COW. October s, 1871, and when the GEN.
tennial of that event comes around
Chicago will have celebration such as
all the world will want to gather on
the banks of the famous sewerage
canal and take part in.

famine a Rockland man is reported as
having discovered that coal dust, to be
found in abundance where the process
of coal screening is done, when mixed
with another cheap and easily secured
substance makes most admirable sub
stitute for coal itself. This may be all
right but it has the flavor of many
things that have proved disappolnt-
ing when attempted. 1t reminds one
of some fellow who professed to have
discovered that ordinary vaseline was
much to be preferred to soap as an aid
to painless shaving. The news of his
discovery went the rounds of the news
papers, and thousands of men made
the experiment on themselves. After
wards they would have liked nothing
better than the opportunity to repeat
it on the man who made the original
suggestion. 1t may not prove to be
thus in the case of the Rockland
genius.
