Under the Spanish domination farming
was restricted to the cultivation OF the
cocoanut palm and the breadfruit tree.
with a little rice, sugar and indigo. The
! Americans have introduced some of the
products of the temperate zones. and
these have flourished amazingly and
won golden opinions for themselves
from the delighted natives. The Irish
potato and the cabbage have been es-
pecially fortunate in making themselves
indispensable to the Guamese.
Contrary to the general impression.
these recent additions 30 the national
potpourri are not the sworn enemies Of
labor in any legitimate form. Now that
the old burden of taxation is lessened
and 1t is beginning to be understood
that the Americans are not in the is
land for the sole purpose of self bet
terment the Guamese are emerging
from the apathy which has hitherto
been reckoned as their birthright and
are adapting themselves to the changed
conditions with an avidity which is as
amusing as it is gratifying. Taxation
is still among them. but II is not the
draining process of the old Oppressor.
and it is met cheerfully and manfully.
Guam is indeed a country for the
Guamese. 1t is not likely that the peo-
pie of the United States. natural born
colonists that they are. will ever mi
crate in any considerable numbers to
this faraway coral island. There is lit
tie to stimulate such a movement. and
the presence of the destructive tropical
hurricane and the equally dreaded
earthquake will always act as a deter
rent. That need not and must not pre-
vent the native Guamese from sharing
in the best results of American enter
prise and invention. 1t was declared
at the time of the cession of the island
that all that the United States wished
or expected to make. of 1t was a naval
station, port Of transit between
America and Asia.
To that end the excellent harbor at
Apra, on the western coast, is being ex-
tensively improved and the road across
the island to Agana is being rebuilt.
Thus far the labor of bringing the
Guamese to proper realization of their
good fortune in becoming the wards of
the great republic has been as nothing
compared, for example. with the task
of pacifying the pagan and Moslem
peoples of the Philippines.

ed man, with a face like an old no
man. Though on the Confederate side
during the civil war, Colonel Mosby
has been an ofiiceholder under admin
istrations of Republican presidents.
This comes about through his friend
ship for General Grant. ~
Colonel Mosby's head was in danger
after the surrender of Lees army. The
secretary, of war, Mr.. Stanton. wanted
him hanged. But General Grant, who
could admire bravery, even in his most
untiring foe, had permitted Mosby and
his band to be included in the terms
accorded Lees regular forces. He In
sisted that he had given his word an
n soldier in the matter.
Mosby never forgot Grants action.
and in the campaign of 1872. when vir-
ginia, for the first time after the wnr.
voted for president. he stumped the
state for him, even though it meant
political ostracism and the loss OF his
practice as lawyer.
General Grant stood by those who
stood by him, and at the close Of his
second administration he left a request
to the incoming president, Mr.. Hayes.
that MOsby be made minister to China.
Hayes honored the request. Mosby Was
later placed In the law department Of
the Southern Pacific railroad by Sen
ator Stanford at the request of Grant.
In McKinley's administration he was
appointed a special agent Of the Unit
ed States land office.

The governor did all this and even
more. He made no war upon the ex-
listing religion as he found IL. but he
insisted that its full Significance should
be made apparent and that the mass of
superstition which was masquerading In
the gzise of religion should be eliminate
ed. and I'm the absence OF any higher
authority he undertook the job. This
made him exceedingly obnoxious to
some of the left over Spanish clergy,
who quite naturally regarded him as a
meddler I'm matters which were outside
Of his province. The governor was a

and corporate interests, known as
trusts, which have grown up in
the last few years under Republi-
can rule. Some of them are so
conducted as to be pernicious and
harmful to the general interest.
With the power they are able to
exert, they can lessen competition,
control prices and regulate to
their own advantage the law OF
supply and demand. Individual
effort is helpless against such
strong rivals, and the natural
right of all persons to barter and
trade is umnaturally restricted.
The effort of these trusts is to con-
troll or monopolize, and these mo-
nopolies, when unrestrained, seem
to produce conditions which bring
about strikes and disorders, and
disturb the business affairs Of the

Local Self Government.

Local self-gOvernment, that
came to us not as the gift OF the
National Government, but as the
legitimate outcome of the reserve
powers of the States and Of the
people, is the very cornerstone OF
our political structure, and the
best assurance of liberty regulated
by law. 1t can only be maintain-
ed by strict observance Of the linn
itations of the Federal Constitu-
ton. The Democratic party has
always resisted, and will continue
to resist, the encroachment by its
enemies upon the fundamental
right of the people Of the several
States. All power comes from
the people, and should be surren-
dered only in the interests OF the
people. and whenever this power
is used for selfish interests it is
not only an abuse, but usurpa-
ton.
