WHEN THE McSo IS AMUcK.

The MOrOs compare neither with the
Indians nor with the Southern negroes.
They are ignorant and superstitious.
About year ago a force. under the
strong chief Hatai. surrendered 10 Cen
eral Wood a tremendous position on
Bud Kausukan without firing a shot and
gave up all their priceless rifles, because
the night before navy tOrpedo-bOat
destroyer had flashed its searchlights on
the fOTtinc3tiOns from the sea. and the
terrified defenders imagined that Provi-
dence had been drawn into alliance with
their enemies. AS warriors, the Moros
are fanatics. but, for all that. there is
magnificence In their disdain of death.
The lonely Jaramentado, who takes an
oath, shaVes his head. binds his limbs
and goes out TO kill and to be killed, is a

BEARS CONTROL
EARLY DEALINGS
Stock Declines Led By Sales
OF Steel by Leading
Houses.

NEW YORK. June 22.-The stock
market was subject to pressure of
bearish opinion from leading houses who
sold Steel common and many other
issues at the opening and all through
the first hour.
Room traders and number of out
side operators were fairly large sellers.
and prices in the early trading sustain
ed moderate declines.
Importance was attached to the con-
tinued supply of Copper. apparently
from inside sources, that carried the
price Of that stock down from 103k to
I01s..
The heaviest buyers of Southern Pa
cific asserted that they have positive in
formation that the stock will be put on
a 4 per cent basis within thirty days.
Government bonds unchanged: other
bonds generally lower.
There was a steadier tone 10 the
market after the first hour and stocks
were in good demand as prices reached
moderately higher levels. The only i'm
Portant exception to the general i'm
provement was Pennsylvania which
vas freely supplied below 80.

The steam schooner, vessel whose
build and habits are peculiar to the
Pacific. often goes to sea with her
load line over hatcn Which means
that after her hold has been crammed
with cargo. a deck load of lumber is
piled half way up the masts. so that
her skipper puts out with the water
washing green over mis- main deck and
an occasional comber frisking across
his battened matches. Along the har-
Dor front of Seattle runs the story of
a passenger who loped down to the
wharf in hurry 20 get aboard a de-
parting steam schooner. He balanced
himself on the string piece for an in
stant, looked down at what little he
could see of the laden craft, and hove

EDUCATED MEN ON FARMS.
Agriculture Changing More and
More Into a Business.

The character of farming in chang
ing rapidly. 1t is coming more and
more to be an efficient, profitable and
attractive business. With here and
there IN exception, in the past we
have not given much consecutive
thought to the Understanding like
as much as the merchant gives to his
business or the doctor to his. 1t has
been so seasy" a business that I'M
trained men could succeed in 1t. The
change in economic and social condi-
tions is breaking up the tradition.
Farming is becoming more difficult
and the old methods must go. In the
future only the well-formed and effici
ent thinking man can succeed-that
is, only the educated man.
The country is to offer other advan-
tages to the educated man than mere
ly to be a good farmer. There are
good opportunities for leadership on
public questions-probably better OPP
%portunity and with less competition
than in the great cities. The very
fact that city representation is in
creasing in the Legislatures should
make the able country representative
more of a marked man. The growth
of the institute movement OF the
grange and other rural organizations
gives fresh opportunity to develop
leadership OLA high order.
1t seems to me that by the very ma
ture of the progress VIZ are making,
the college man must go to the farm
In fact, college men have been going
back from the beginning of the ag-
ricultural education movement. Sta
tistics show that a very large percent
aye actually have returned to farm
ing and this in spite OF the fact that
cities have been growing with mar
velous -rapidity and that the whole
system of agricultural colleges and
experiment stations has been develop
ing and calling for men.
Considering the limitations undel
which the agricultural colleges have
developed, without sympathy, with
the Indifference and sometimes the
opposition of charlottesville very

PROTECTED LAND THIEVES.
Serious Charge Against Senators
Fulton who is supported by.
Senators Foraker and Kit
tredge.

New York. Dec. 5,-The battle
against land frauds in Oregon has
been transferred to the United States
senate, and the story OF thefhght
casts suspicion upon Senator e. w.
Fulton, of Oregon, as a protector OF
land thieves, says Golfers Weekly.
The contest, according to Golfers
has been put up to the senate through
the nomination, by President Roose-
Welt, of William G. Bristol for Ore
CONS United States district attorney
against the wishes of Senator Fulton.
The nomination came about through
the effort of the government to break
up the land graft in Oregon, Golfers
says:
..Three years ago the whisper came
east to Washington that wholesale
frauds were being committed In u
nection with government lanos III
Oregon. With it came the Informal
tion that these frauds permitted and
tainted every circle of life and every
stratum of business in the state.
Business men of high standing were
engineering the steals: lawyers at the
head of the bar were attending TO the
details. and bankers were financing
the deals. Most Of the state and gov
ernment officials, it vas said, were
either directly concerned In the
frauds or else were on such Intimate
personal terms with the criminals
that the United States government
could not rely on them to prosecute
And even if there was an official II
Oregon fearless enough to take III
the work he would face a public opln
ion SO hostile as to make his efforts
useless
In view of these conditions SOM
LAWYER had to be had in Oregon, or
whom the government could rely a
its district attorney. The incumbent
Of the office was John h. Hall, who's
conscience, says Golfers told hin
that he himself was liable to prosecu
tion. He knew that at least on'

be saved from indictment unless he
stood between them and Henry
Francis J. Henry, of San Francisco,
called in by the government to take
charge of the land cases. Consequent
ly Hall fought for reappointment.
But Senators Mitchell and Fulton
had decided to Sheive Hall in favor OF
George G. Brownell. president OF the
state senate, and one of Senator Full
tons able lieutenants. A special
government agent probed BrowneHs
record and reported it to Washington
as decidedly shady. Failing in the
appointment of Brownell, Senators
Mitchell and Fulton turned to Brown
ellis law partner, j. U. Campbell. But
Hall was still fighting. He went to
Washington and saw the Oregon sem
ators. AS a result they decided TO
support Hall, and wrote a letter to
Brownell telling him that he and
Campbell would be ''protected'-eyi-
IDENTIFY meaning from indictment and
prosecution.
Golfers story says that last Janu-
ary Senator Fulton tried to get pos
session of this letter his brother offer
ing the recipient $500 for it.
Hall did protect Brownell and
lCampbell; at least they were not in
dicted.
But when Henry took charge OF the
land fraud cases and began to suspect
Hall of protecting the thieves, he
secured Halls removal from office
and set about securing the appoint
ment of w. G. Bristol, as district at
torney, and the president sent his
nomination to the senate.
Immediately there was a cry from
Oregon, and Senator Fulton in ans
wer to hat cry made the charge that
Bristol had been guilty of unprofes-
sional conduct. This was not sutfici.
emily supported, and the president
stood by his nomination. But the
senate, respecting the rule of "sena-
torial courtesy to which Fulton ap'
pealed, adjourned without confirming
the appointment. Then the presid
ent made a recess appointment Of
Bristol, and he has been pushing tht
prosecution of the land cases eyel
since. ;.
Now that the senate is again IL
. session Fulton is expected to continue
his fight for senatorial courtesy. The
responsibility rests with the senate.

agricultural pursuits is greater than
