THAT JOLO SLAUGHTER
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst Uses 1t as a Text,
and His Words Throw Small
Credit on Government.

New York, March 20.-In his sermon or
the relations of socallcd Christian nations
that are pagan, the Rev. DR.. Charles H.
P]arkhurst referred yesterday to the re.
cent killing of Moros and President Roosc.
velt's congratulatory dispatch to General
Wood.
"Consider," he said, "the easy and sell
satisfied way in which we regard the NOW
ing down Of the savage and semi-saVage
in the Philippines, when they stand in
the way of national purpose, of which,
after eight years of benevolent assimila-
tion,' we nave just had a most thrilling
and hcartrending example in the lombard
ing to death of GOO men, women and chill
dren, collected in a crater in the Moro
islands.
'"rhere are two Things to be said about
tn. jubilant congratulations sent by the
chief executive 20 General Wood. The
first is in reference to the designation OF
the performance as a brilliant feat OF
arms Basing our estimate on the re-
ports rendered by General Wood it was no
more a brilliant feat Of arms than smok-
ing bees out Of a hive or rats out or a
nest.
But a far sadder feature of the execu-
tive communication to General Wood is
that it contained not one word of sym
nathy, not one word of tender distress, In
view of the indiscriminate slaughter per-
OGtTaltu III yin vi tiiS iSsIli ili
We have been taught to believe, and We
like to believe, that our president has a
great heart.
And so ! prefer to think of that cable
gram, composed as 1t was i'll the presence
Of mangled men, armless and torn women,
armless and headlcsS children-I prefer to
thing of it not being the express
sion of the man Roosevelt. but OF
the President Roosevelt in whom Off
cially the heartlessness and the greed OF
unregcnerated nationality is fu]nctionally
represented. I want to find a way out for
Roosevelt, for the performance on the Jolc
island has q CHASTITY look and the cable
gram matched it..
with the exception of the maintenance
in the south Of negro slavery, there has
been, l should say, nothing sadder in ouI
history than the national attitude in which
We today stand as toward the little brown
people of the Philippine islands"

eff these documents have been sent
to every policyholder, the cost to the

Has Schwab established a home in
Nevada?' was>asked Noonan. -,
Yes, he gave SEE, 600 for a kind Of
a shack out there and says he intends
to build a big house there. Any kind
of property there costs money because
Of its mining value. But Schwab es-
tablished a home in the state and tina
was the true cause of his trip out
there. 1t is understood around Bull
Frog that when Schwab starts in, he
intends to open the biggest barrel Of
money ever turned loose in the state.
Some of the mining men were in Mon
tana when Clark went after the sem
atorship and we know what that cost
Clark, but that's nothing to what this
will cost Schwab. We've got some 9TH
er moneyed men who want that office
and Schwab will have to pay lots Of
