Colonel Roosevelts hotel having been al
most mobbed by students from the Uni
versity Of El-Azhsr, he stoutly maintains
his position as a discourser upon Egyptian
politics and points TO the fact that a dele
cation Of Copts called to express apprecia-
tion Of his remarks. Quite naturally the
Copts we're pleased when the distinguished
visitor from America hammered the Mos
lens But who are the Copts?
The Copts are called the lineal descend
ants OF the ancient Egyptians who made
mummies, pyramids and history Quite a
while ago they played poor politics by
betraying their country to the SRracens
and getting the Greeks and Romans ousted
from Egypt. But that was not yesterday.
They lost the privileges for which they had
righteously contended, declined in political
Importance and numerical strength, lost
their language, ana became q protesting
minority with but little left to comfort
them save racial integrity There were
more than 100000 Copts before the Arab in
vasion. There are not more than 10000 at
present, and they are more negligible as a
political factor than their number might In
dicate They are a peculiar people, and
no peculiar people counts for much in pol
itics. Poverty is their portion, and fall
ure to appreciate the value OF soap and
water in conjunction is their mark Of racial
distinction. Being indorsed by the Copts

In commemoration OF the completion
Of twenty years continuously in the
harness as editor OF the Des Moines
Capital, Colonel Lafe Young has issued
an anniversary number which is a most
creditable example OF journalistic en-
terprise. The birthday edition very
properly illustrates the appreciation
and esteem in which the Capital and
its editor are held by their contempo-
raries, and also sings a paean to the
glory of Iowa and the beautiful city
which is its seat Of government. Here
are best wishes for many years Of
health, happiness and prosperity for
the Capital and its editor.

Colonel Roosevelt seems to have made
speeches without looking into the subject
Manifestly II isn't right for an Arab patriot
to become an assassin and murder a fel-
low countrymsn because that fellow coun-
tryman is not a flannel -mouthed' anti
British agitator. But II is not the function
Of a guest to become a partisan in a fam
lily fight. Colonel Roosevelt must have
known little of the spirit Of El-Azhar when
he rushed in precipitately to disturb its
atmosphere and traditions with a ripping
speech upon the beneficence of British rule
and the folly OF fanatical patriotism that
expresses itself in violence
El-Azhar is a center of Moslem learning
and of Moslem politics-more than 1000
year old. 1t draws it's students from the
sandy wastes OF Morocco, from Mohamme-
dan Asia, from our own Sulu archipelago
where the Moros worship the prophet and
cordially hate the Christian. El-Azhar Is a
rusty, musty, moribund institution, and II
takes itself much more seriously than 1t
should. 1t is. nevertheless, a seat OF mill
tant Mohammedanism where dreamers
dream Of an expansion OF Islam that never
will take place.

Possibly Lord Cromer was jesting when
he said that the grand mufti Of El-Azhar

or the sun moved around the earth, but
that the subject was too unImportant to
enlist the attention Of serious-minded men.

Copts, the guests at shephard's, and the

Colonel Roosevelt seems to have made O

result OF his speech to the students who

El-Azhar is about eight centuries behind
the times. 1t was once great center Of
Arabic culture, and from the Arabs Eu-
rope received much OF the groundwork
Of its present day enlightenment Today
it's curriculum consists chiefly Of the
Koran, and only year ago riots resulted
when the British attempted to introduce
so revolutionary a course of study as
mathematics. The 10000 students desired,
to a man, to be holy men and preside
in mosques. They wanted none Of plain
and solid geometry, or plain and fancy
arithmetic. What did It matter whether
the square Of the hypotenuse OF a right
angled triangle eQualed the sum of the
squares OF the other two sides, or whether
two and two made four, II time were to
be wasted ascertaining such trifling truths
when 1t might be more profitably put in
repeating texts from the Koran and call
