MAYOR M'LANE is ALERT.
Baltimore Executive the Right Man
in the Right Place.

IN the HlSHI fiaSS'
Robert M McLane, mayor OF Caltl-
more, believes in applying plain bust
ness methods to the government OF
his city, and as a consequence the
work of Strengthening out the devas-
tated community is progressing rap
idly. Here is an illustration OF the
blunt way in which he acts and talks.
Shortly before the great fire there
number of bills were brought to him
for approval. They were of the kind
which in many large cities are
punched under the head of "sundries
and incidentals,' but Mayor McLane
requires that they be itemized. One
of the bills was for cigars and across
it the mayor wrote: THE city OF Bal
timore does not smoke cigars.

 Abused.

From the Chicago News.
 For years Edmund D. Morel has been waging war on the barbarities that are inflicted by the representatives of Flu ropean civilization on the natives of west and central Africa. The territory Tn question is under Belgian rule. He writes: Tn four years the natives or the Kongo territories have been robbed in the name of philanthropy and civiliza- ton of produce collected by them to the tune of nearly $SOOOO.OO0. And that is the least count in the indictment. The num- Der of human lives that have been sacri- feed, directly and indirectly, in the pro- cess is appalling to contemplate. One or the trusts, Mir. Easement, British consul at Bona, tells us, expended In three years 72, GOO cartridges in the production of india rubber, and he quotes diary shown him testifying to the use by the government of 60O0 cartridges in six months on the Mambozo river which means that 5000 are killed or mutilated, because for every cartridge used the sol diers must bring back a right hand. The diary adds: 1t means more than 6OOO. for the people told me repeatedly that the soldiers kill the children with the butt of their guns
 Quoting from Consul Easement again he gives the story of little native child who tells of sufferings at the hands or the soldiers: 'Then the soldiers came again to fight us. We ran Into the buSh.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 Frank Yer Beck, the illustrator, has brother who is a very successful busi- ness man. Among a party of visitors to Mir Yer Beek's studio, one day recently, was a lady who met him for the first time. In the course of the conversation one of the callers made a reference to this brother.
 Some friends of mine" observed the lady, ''know your brother. l believe he is very well to do, is he not"
 "On the contrary" replied MT. Yer Beck, sadly, "he Is very hard to do. asked him to lend me $5 last week. and he had the impertnence to say that when I returned the five I borrowed last sum- mer perhaps he would think about let ting me have this one.'

 All the old trade of exchange and bar ter is destroyed. The trusts hold the mo- nopoly of native production and native labor. With an army of about 30,000 men they force the natives to bring in rubber and Ivory If enough is not produced, It is said they hold the women as hostages, they flog and torture them, they chain up the men on stakes, they cut off the hands of little children. and finally if the rub Der supply is still insufficient to please the shareholder in Belgium, they massa ere the villagers wholesale and leave the place desolate as a warning to the idle.
