The Moro Problem.

ID LOODSHED seems never to be ended in the
~ Philippines. The ill-tempered Moros Of the
Mohammedan islands require occasional object
lessenato show44the strengthened firm purpose OF
their American rulers and the recent carnage at
Mount Dajo in the island Of Jolo, calls attention
once to the problem Uncle Sam has underl
taken in reducing these people to orderly habits
of life sees - RI. $500 * =$@2s - e
Interesting light on this problem is supplied by
Major R. L. Billiard, governor Of the island of
Mindanao, who has written about some Of his ex-
perences in the current Atlantic. He makes it plain
that the Moros children in point OF intelligence
and responsibility, and need to be treated as chill
dren, Kindness is the proper treatment rule, but
there are among them who cannot understand
kindness. They believe it must be weakness, and
abuse the liberty allowed them till condign punish
ment is necessary. = :, Pm
For centuries these Moros have never known the
meaning of justice, and they are slow in compre-
hendng; it. Power has meant oppression to them,
and power used to preserve personal and property
rights is not comprehended by some Of the fierce
dattos. Major Billiard has labored with them
patiently, and has accomplished much He has
paid the natives for work roads, and the money
inducement has been potent to teach them industry
It has also brought them to lay aside feuds among
each other and many petty prejudices. The less
hostile managed easily. Unfortunately, the
more lawless and ignorant chiefs and warriors are
the most energetic and have the most influence
among the people.
It is task for diplomat to bring these people
in, rid them of century-long delusions and habits
and secure their cooperation in local government.
1t is being done slowly and Major Billiard has
given formerly hostile datos recognition and power
Some of them have held aloof and have attacked
American soldiers in their cruel forays These have
had to be punished with severity, and gradually
it is beginning to dawn on the Moros that the
Americans have the power to crush and exterminate
them but using it to bring them peace, COM
fort and security.
Liberty, as we understand it, would be ruin
for these people. While gently leading them into
the paths Of peace, Americans must carry the big
stick in convenient reach

GIVE OUT YOUR BEST

There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave,
There are souls that are pure and true,
Then give to the world the best you have
And the best shall come back to you.
For life is the mirror Of king and slave, L
TITS just what you are to do;
Then give to the world the best you have,
And the best will come back to you.

The Old Government Road.

~ BOUT hundred years ago there was under
"a taken the construction Of a great highway
between the east and the west-a road which, run
ming across Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and Indiana,
should ultimately reach the Mississippi river at St.
Louis It was the first Of the great enterprises for
internal improvements undertaken by the federal
government Before it was completed, however
indeed before it had crossed Indiana-the railroad
came in to take the place, of the wagon road and
what was intended to be great national highway
was abandoned. e>
We are now entering upon period Of revived in
terest in road building We have national good
roads movement; we have bills in congress making
large appropriations and local organizations for the
promotion of road building The advantage of good
roads is coming to be better appreciated The rural
communities are beginning to realize that good roads
enhance the value of property as well as increase
the value of marketed products
It is now proposed to take up the work of COM
pleting this old government road and to carry it
thru not only to the Mississippi but clear to
the Pacific coast, making of it splendid highway
which will no doubt day become popular
route for tourist travel by automobiles, we'll
of great use to the country thru which it as
local road It will be attractive tourist line and
will undoubtedly be utilized by great many excur-
sonists for transcontnenta travel Moreover it will
he splendid object lesson to the country and stimu-
late interest in road building everywhere.

way it viii be possible for lists of pol

fer the poIcyhoIders to cast their

as they may desire. All existing prox.
les should be declared void so that no.
proxies should be voted at such cleo
ton other than those which are given
under the statute within two months
prior thereto The first election
should be under the supervision Of the

should be directed to appoint inspec-
f'tors of election and see that it is con-
Quoted according to law. ;. Fl So
The new boards of directors should

was thinly occupied. scarcely more
than seventy members being in their
