FRANCE CONTROLS MOROCCO.
Viii Be Ruled by Sultan Under French
uxerainty-Expected to Furnish
= Field for 3 rench CoIonizz ztion

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to Furnish
Field for French Colonization.
The most interesting event In the
recent history OF Africa Is the con-
clusion on October as to the future
of Morocco That country has been
bone of contention for many years.
Nearer to Europe than any other Afri-
can land, more bountifully blessed
than most Of them with natural re-
sources. II Is the most unfortunate and
the least known part OF the continent.
says the New York Sun. In two-thirds
of II white men cannot travel without
an armed escort
II has been a closed land because
the prize was so great that no Euro
pean power could gain ascendency
without incurring the disfavor of sew
eral other powers. These difficulties
have now been swept away. France
is to be the controlling influence. The
country is TO be ruled by the sultan
under the advice and with the moral
and material support of France. The
gates are to be opened to the com
merce of all nations. All treaty rights
hitherto enjoyed by other powers are
to be conserved The lawless parts
OF the country are to be compelled to
accept the sultans rule. Resources
are to be studied. trade developed, rail
roads built, and Morocco started on
new and modernized career. This is
the scheme on paper; and when we
think of the wonders France has
wrought in neighboring Algeria and
Tunis. who can say that her domina-
tion in Morocco will not be a blessing
to'that country and the world
Many Frenchmen believe there is
nothing outside of France of greater
Importance to her national destiny
than the future of Morocco. That
country is the necessary complement
Of Frances colonial domain in North
Africa Morocco offers the last chance
for the French nation to extend the
area occupied by its race. almost all
the remainder of its empire being only
tropical lands where colonists of
French blood cannot thrive. They
say that the work done in Algeria and
Tunis Is a guarantee of what will be
done in Morocco. In those once bar
barous countries there Is now a Euro
pean population of 10000 in the
midst OF 100000 natives, with for
eign commerce of over 00,000.000
francs a year
With good government there Is no
doubt that the French In Morocco may
repent the history of development in
Algeria and Tunis. Morocco is richer
In minerals than those lands. 1t is
the part of the Berber countries which
receives the most rain and has the
most fertile areas. II Is protected
from the burning winds of Sahara by
a barrier of mountains. and its many
watercourses are never drained by
drought.

A Celebrated Apoteam.

Patriotism having become one of
our topics. Johnson suddenly uttered.
in a strongly determined tone, an
apotegm. at which many will start:
Patriotism is the last refuge OF a

that he did not mean a real and gem
erous love OF our country. but that pre-
tended patriotism which so many, in
all ages and countries. have made a
cloak for selfinterest.-Bosw Life

not much judgment about seasons.

the same time every year. whether

woodsman pretends to divine the
weather from such creatures as
change their color for the seasons.

to full maturity late. according to
some authorities. when the winter 10
