CLASH WITH THE MOROS
WAS NOT UNEXPECTED
Secretary Roots Statement
in Annual Report.
WOODS WORK COMMENDED
Compilation of History of Insurgent
Filipino Government Urged-Eff-
cheney of National Guard.

secretary Roots annual report makes
IL clear that the clash Of General Wood
with the Moros IL the Sulu archipelago
ana the killing OF hundreds of Moros
were results Of the new law for the gov
eminent Of the Moros which the War
Department expected.
With the Moros of the Sulu archipel-
ago still holding slaves and engaging in
the slave trade, Secretary Root says the
new law for the government of the Mo
ros was necessary, that the savage dat
tos might be brought directly under
American control. To bring this about.
the Philippine Commission and General
Davis, commanding the division of the
Philippines, drew up the statute provid-
ing for civil governor of the Sulu
archipelago, who was also to have com
mand of the military forces.
Gen. Leonard Wood was designated
for the dual position Of military COM
mander and civil governor. He found it
necessary to resort to arms to overcome
the waIlike dattos. just as Capt ]. J.
PershinS did in the Lake Lanao district
Captain Pershing was commended for
his effective work in subduing the trou-
biesome dattos. and General Wood
present campaign is said to be in fur
therance of the work inaugurated by
Captain Pershing.
Reduction of Tariff Advocated.
Secretary Root renews the recon-
mendatiOn that the tariff on Philippine
importations into the United States be
reduced. He says the United States
has deprived the Philippines of their
Spanish market and urges that the Fill
pinos deserve the consideration shown
to Hawaii and Porto Rico.
1t is suggested by Secretary Root that
history of the Philippine insurgent
government should be compiled from
the 100000 documents which the Bureau
Of Insular Affairs has collected, and
which bear on this subject Secretars'
Root says the publication of such his
tory would cost about S15.O
The establishment of the general staff
is discussed by Secretary Root, who
expresses the opinion that it viii bring
about a military efficiency which the
War Department has been trying TO
attain for years. Special mention Is
made Of the ability which Gen. William
II. Carter has displayed in devising and
putting the new act into effect
Reduction of Army.
Secretary Roots report shows the
present strength Of the army to be
1851 officers and $500 enlisted men.

Senatorial Gossip.

The politicians who make and unmakt
statesmen are giving Vermonters little
rest from the strenuous campaign of last
fall and have already dragged several
candidates into the gubernatorial arena
Not satisfied with their premature work
they would further have us believe that
a senatorial contest is coming on. This
from the Montpelier correspondent of the
Springfield Republican tells the story:
There will be added interest in the con-
test next year, il the politicians are cor
rect IN their belief that Carroll S. Page
will seek to secure Proctor's seat in the
United States senate. He has had his
eye on the place tor long time, and il he
thinks the time propitious he will make
the tight next year That will involve a
struggle over the legislature as well as
the governorship, and will make a con.
test more lively and more bitter than
that between Dillingham; and Grout.
There are indications that Proctor's
strength is waning, but he is still capable
OF meeting any politician in the state on
equal terms.

he often wondered if there are any left in

"Florodora" song, "Are there anv more

seen lone farmer, and the location was
Vermont. The farmer was asked why

OF Vermont seemed to the speaker to be
commendable one; there is a boom on

Here's to yor. boys of yonder glad green
hills;
You've helped the nation in her strife with
ills:
In joy or woe you've been both staunch and
true,
From east to farthest west we've had rich
gifts from you;
You've given of your strength, your SOUL
and from the heart,
Where'er your country's called, you've done
your part.
And none there is from city's din to quiet
country rills,
Who'll not join in the toast, and gladly
boast,
The spirit of those good green hills.
