The Problem Of the Moros.

Colonel Hoyt's recommendation that
the Moros be segregated from the rest
of the Filipinos and be restricted to a
reservation will be met by the anti
imperialists with the objection that
we must not repeat in those islands the
hardships that were deemed necessary
by the government during the white
mans advance into the Indian lands.
But there is to be said for the pro-
posal that it is at least as humane as
letting the Moros run at large in fugi-
tive bands, a savage menace to the
peaceful inhabitants, and themselves
subject to slaughter when they go on
the warpath.
Most of the F~ilipinos are satisfied
with the beneficent condition in which
they find themselves under American
rule. and would like to be permitted to
pursue their industrial ways toward a
general prosperity. This is only pos
sible now because of the armed pro-
lection afforded by United States
troops, a force which could be greatly
reduced II the Hoyt plan we're put into
practice.
While this government cannot af-
ford to render any injustice against
even the wild Moros, and while it
has no desire except to administer to
these avage the kindliest control pos
ible, still in the Philippines as in our
own land the greatest good ~ 80

An Unwelcome Legacy.

Among the unfinished business of
1909 which comes as ar unwelcome be-
quest to 1910 is the matter of railroad
troubles. The prolonged strike of
s%witchmen in the northwest is again
at an acute stage, with a possibility of
spreading, while in the east the rail-
roads are approaching a date when a
general strike is possible.
In the case of the northern switch
men a conference at the White House
is scheduled for today, which may or
may not be productive of results. En-
listing the good offices of the president
as a mediator is of no avail unless both
sides approach him in a spirit Of fair
ness, and even a presidential concilia-
ton board cannot be expected to
achieve the best results for the good of
all If those possessing an excess of
power use their advantage in an unfair
way. The general eastern situation is
still a matter for conferences between
managers and men, and it is possible
that both sides, recognizing the grav-
ity Of the situation, may adjust their
difficulties without involving the traf-
fic of the roads.
Regardless of its sympathies con-
corning the issues involved, the public
would regard a general strike or lock
out as a national calamity, to avert
which every effort of diplomacy and
patience ought to be employed. A new
year threatened with stagnation of its
commerce augurs i'll for happiness and
prosperity, and the country is a unit
in the desire to see this dark cloud OBJ
securing the rosy dawn dissipated into
vanishing Yapor.

MARSHAL OF ROUGH RIDERS.
How Frederick Remington Started on
Road to Fame.
81. Louis Republlc.

st. Louis Republic.
Back in the eighties, when Theodore
Roosevelt was running a cattle ranch on
the Little Big Horn, in Wyoming, one of
his nearest neighbors was Fred" Reming-
ton, whose death we mourn today. This
young man-the proprietor of an inherit
lance OF 100000, according to his cowboy
neighbors-tved in great splendor in a
house which was filled with the products
of his brush. and exercised a generous hos
pitality while running a small road ranch"
for the raising of horses. "a road ranch,
be it known, was Wyomingese for an es-
tablishment consisting of a large tract of
land held on a sort Of glorified squatter's
tenure adjacent to a plot of ground held
in fee simple, controlling the available
water.)
In course of time Mr.. Remington's hos
pitality and absorption in art so far inn
paired his capital, according to the ac-
count current among his former acquaint-
ances, that an additional source of income
was necessary. Mr.. Roosevelt rode over
to his neighbours house, told Remington
Of his contract to prepare a series of ar
ticles for The Century Magazine, and asked
him TO undertake the illustrations. This
was the occasion Of the artists desertion

Taft's Policy of Work.

Acts rather than declarations" the
keynote of Mr.. Taft's reply to an in-
quisitive caller, is a terse presentation
of the attitude that has been con-
s~istently maintained by the president
since he entered upon his office. His
inaugural address and his FIRST message
to congress-, thus far his only official
utterances, we're models Of brevity;
into them were compressed his views
Of such matters as we're necessary to a
statement Of policy and a campaign of
legislation. But in his executive ac-
tivities the president has impressed the
capital with the fact that his is an adj
ministration Of work, and all his ener-
giles have been bent toward facilitating
such congressional enactments as shall
be deemed necessary to promote the
general welfare in the vital problems
of the day.
The president has demonstrated his
constructive ability, thanks to which
much Roadway was made in the early
weeks of the congressional session pre-
ceding the holidays, usually given up
to marking time; and when the ma
tional legislature reassembles next
week it will find matters shaped so
well that expedition will be the order
of the day If the members adopt the
presidents policy of work. While due
de%liberation is essential to the enact
ment of all laws, still the public will
be only too glad to have congress fol-
low the Taft program of Acts rather
than declarations

An Inquiry Of Purpose.

Mr.. Taft has demanded that the in
quiry into the record Of Secretary Bal
linger be thorough and complete. Not
only will the affairs of the Interior de-
partment be gone into, but the presi-
dent, himself, will take such part as
he legally may in the inquiry to the
end that nothing shall be covered up
or left untold. Mr.. Taft has taken
this stand because Of the sneering sug-
gestions that he has put the Ballinger
matter up to congress-" the object of
the opposition being to convey the pub
lie impression that the president is
seeking to evade responsibility. Mr..
Taft has publicly declared his conf
dence in the integrity and ability of
Secretary Ballinger, and on such
declaration he is willing that such an
investigation should be made. Not
only this, but he is willing to assume
whatever share of such inquiry as may
rightfully belong to an executive Sc
that congress will not have to take en-
tire responsibility. In this purpose
Mr.. Taft is proving the strength of his
faith in his own administration. More
could not reasonably be asked, and the
muck-rakers should suspend opera
lions pending the result.

Milking the Consumer.

New York state has earned a debt
of gratitude from the nation for it's
successful prosecution of its fee COM
bine, and now it is earning another in
its exposure Of it's milk manipulators.
The first step in the rapacious progress
of this combine seems to have been to
pour into the corporate stock all of the
water commonly reputed to be in the
milk, and then the schemers proceeded
to milk the public at a more prodigious
rate than II MIXED the cows. The evil
dence already adduCed shows that on
a tremendously inflated capitalization
the profits were so exorbitant that
dividends of % per cent we're declared.
Yet, not content with that, the COM
bine calmly proceeded to squeeze an
other cent from the on each
quart of milk served.
This extra cent was the final straw.
1ud the overreaching manipulators
now have to reckon with the law. Ine
public will stand for a great deal, but
such fragrant injustice in juggling with
the absolute necessities of life finds
the consumer ready to declare radi-
cally for the fullest punishment posi-
BILE to be administered to the ringlead-
ers convicted.

Omaha business men have been very
alert during the year and have won
many points in the competition of
trade for the northwest. These sue
cesses have encouraged them to greater
efforts. The new enterprises which
have come into Omaha during the year
have proven thrifty, while the estab-
lished ones have grown apace, so that
in every material way the city has ad-

community has kept pace in its devel-

growing fast, and, best of all, is grow

Perjury a Common Crime.

DVETWTV N1NFENWNf
Even a casual observer cannot have
failed to notice that there is much false
evidence given in our courts. The fact is
thrust upon ones attention. Not only IN
sensational murder trials, but in almost
every civil proceeding or quasi-judicial in
vestigation which is Of sufficient general
interest to gain publicity, the reported tes-
timony Is always contradictory, and nearly
always to such a degree as to be utterly
lrrecOncilable. There seems to be little or
no regard for the sanctity of an oath, and
yet with this multiplicity of instances of
reckless or wicked swearing one rarely
hears a word of reproof from the bench,
and, to judge from the number of prose-
%cutions, perjury would seem to be the
rarest of crimes.
