Der of the party, Spaniard of about
16 years of age, was left for dead"
MANILA, October Recommending
on further particulars of the murder of
Trotter and his Spanish companions,
which show that bad feeling had exist
ed over land obtained by Trotters
marriage to an heiress, the Cablenews-
American says in an editorial today:
1T is not straining the point to say
that the murder of Trotter and his
Sapnish companions, the recent rape
and robbery of Miss Ridgway, and this
sporadic ladronism which raises its
head now and again throughout the
islands, are the result of tardy and
light punishment for crimes, and di-
rectly due to the preponderance of the
subject race in lawmaking and law
executing positions, as contrasted with
the absence in these offices of stern,
sturdy, and capable Americans.
Nor is it too much to say, as has
the Cablenews said often, that this cpl
demic of cholera is due to lack of res
pect for our laws, customs and Off
Gals.
THE provincial centers from which
cholera has come to Manila are filthy
because the people have disregarded
them by their Filipino officials, who
think sanitation boyle, and that
cholera emanates from the Evil One.
This has been brought about by taking
away from the provinces Woodworking
and fearless Americans who enforced
sanitary rules, and giving to the mu-
inequalities and provinces a self-gov-
eminent which they have abused and
which autonomy has filled them with
prideful contempt for their masters.
1--WE have gone ahead TOO FAST.
Perhaps even we have gone the wrong
way. Anyhow we are in a ditch and
must get out of it before we. are ever
again on the high road. If we do moi
assert the sovereignty of the United
States in the Philippine Islands more
strongly than we do, we are in for 9
dark future. There are several prov.
inces in these islands which are nests
of treason. The government knows
this or must know it. 1t is true thai
by being complacent things go along
more peacefully; at least there is ne
explosion. But we do not want peace
WITHOUT HONOR AND RESPECT
and we only put off the time of thu
explosion and increase its force by
dallying."
