come later will in bitter hours curse

task even though late.

We trow not There is no need Of
being alarmed over any one statement
aboye expect the last. We must kill or
catch ladrones. We must not give
them any immunity, any shadow of a
Belief that they are to be let off
easy because of surrender or that when
they tire of assassination and robbery
they may expect anything but con-
dign punishment, If we promise them
any lessening of their proper punish
ment we must keep our promise But
we err if we promise them anything
but JUSTICE.
The reason is plain. These ladrones
are almost always men of stunted
brains. They are usually courageous,
fanatical and easily inIpired to make
martyrs of themselves. They are urged
by Manila politicians, grafters and con-
spirators to become bandits and they
do so. These Manila traitors paint
livid pictures of glory, patriotism and
eventual achievement of gain and re-
putation when their activities shall
force independence
These Manila politicians keep up a
secret communication with these la
drones i'm the field. For a sample of
this witness the celebrity with which
Domnador Gomez found Sakay,
sccundrel whom the constabulary say
has cost them thousands of dollars and
many lives.
If the constabulary could not obtain
a chat with Sakay but Gomez did, what
excuse has the constabulary to offer?
why not make Gomez head of the con-
staubulary if he can do better work?
No. The fault lies in our pusillani-
nous, Weakened attention to few
howlers in the United States. The
solution of the problem is nIither diff
ficult nor astonishing.
The constabulary should be under
General Wood. The division COM

The Manila Cablenews is very strong
ly opposed to the present policy of the
Philippine Constabulary. 1t wants
General Wood to be put in control. 1t
believes ne would put down ladroneism
with a strong hand and a mighty arm.
Here are two of it's editorials on the
subject:
The general opinion among Ameri-
cans is that the policy which permits
a murderer and thief like Sakay to
enter Manila remain several days as
the honored guest of a man despised by
Americans, and then leave for the
bosque, unarrested unmolested and
unaccompanied by armed guards, is a
policy both suicidal and ridiculous; a
policy which has made a laughing stock
of the authorities already, and which
can not but increase ladronism and
instruction.

To be such a successful wife, to re.

BRYAN'S SPEECH

Edward has also shown himself a pro-
moter of arbitration, and large num-
Der of members of Parliament are en-
listed in the same work. 1t means
much that the two great English
speaking nations are thus arrayed on
the side of peace.
l venture TO suggest that the worlds
peace would be greatly promoted by
an agreement among the leading ma
tions that no declaration of war should
be made until the submission of the
question in controversy to an impair
tial court for investigation, each ma
ton reserving the right to accept or
reject the decision. The preliminary
investigation would in almost every
instance insure an amicable settlement
and the reserved rights would be
sufficient protection against any pos
sible injustice.
Let me go a step fartAr and appeal
for clearer recognition of the dig
nifty of labor. The odium which rests
upon the work of the hand has exert
ed a baneful influence the world
around. The theory that idleness is
more honorable than toil-that it is
more respectable to consume what
others have produced than to be a pro-
Queer of wealth-has not only robbed
society of an enormous sum, but it has
created an almost impossible gulf be-
tween the leisure classes and those
who support them.
And now we come to the most inn
portant need of the Orient-a concep-
ton of life, which recognizes individ-
ual responsibility to God, teaches the
brotherhood of man and measures
greatness by the service rendered. The
first establishes a rational relation be-
tween the creature and his Creator, the
second lays the foundation for justice
between man and his fellows and the
third furnishes an ambition large
enough to fill each life with noble eff

more powerful and enduring means
than violence, Example may be liken-
ed to the sun, whose genial rays con-
stantly coax the buried seed into life
and clothe the earth, first with YER

pest which can ruin but cannot give
life.

asked by the authorities who confessed
to him their inability to kill or catch
Sakay, to persuade that bandit to sur
render. Gomez went at once to the
lair of the ladrOne and by dint of pro-
misses, got him to come here. In this
city the seat of American rule, he was
treated like a distinguished visitor, and
thousands of admirers gaped before
his house and told of his prowess.
Now with Gomez, a man convicted Of
fraud, Sakay the murderer and thief

what they had the strength to take
and hold what they had the power
to hold But we are already enter
ing a second era-an era in which the
nations do not merely do what they
can do, but what they should do con-
sidering justice to be more important
than physical proves In tribunals
like that of The Hague, the chosen
representatives of the nations weigh
questions of right and wrong and give
a small nation an equal hearing with
a great one according to conscience
This marks an Unreasonable ad-
vance. But is another step yet to be
taken? Justice, after all, is cold and
pulseless, a negative virtue. The world
needs something warmer, more gener-
Gus. Harmlessness is better than
harmfulness. But positive helpfulness
is vastly superior to harmlessness, and
we still have before us a larger, higher
destiny of service.
Even now there are signs of the APP
proach of this third era, not so much
in the actions of Governments as in
the growing tendency of men and wo-
men in many lands to contribute their
means, in some cases their lives, for
the intellectual, moral awakening Of
