A Moro Incident,

There should be no encouragement OF
the American purpose to persist in trying
to administer the affairs of the southern
Philippine Islands because a band of
savage Moros undertook to assassinate
Dean Worcester, the secretary of the in
terror for the archipelago. For many
generations, far beyond the records of
history, the Moros have been a. savage
people. conceiving no other mode Of adj
minstration but that of the sword Their
entire scheme of government has been
for centuries based upon force. Treach-
ery has played a large part in their af
fairs. They have been able to recognize
no principles beyond the elementary doc
trine Of physical prowess. During the
Spanish occupation the Moros were left
virtually to their own resources, for the
simple reason that the Spanfards were in
capable OF governing them. The white
administrators Of the island were inspired
by no loftier motives than that of giving
the least possible to the people and get
ting the most from them. The Moros
conceived a contempt for white mans
government in consequence of the lax and
corrupt methods practiced in it's name.
They were virtually Independent of Span
ish rule.
Far from being encouragement it
should be source of qualification that
in twelve years the United States has
been able to accomplish so much in the
interest of peace and order in the south
ern Islands. Against the handicap of a
native barbarism euualed in but few
parts of the world, and a history of
white incompetence rarely paralleled in
81 &c ;.Na
United States has brought a remarka ole

has placated the militant chieftains, has
laid the foundations for education and
industrial activity. 1t has indeed accom-
plished more in these twelve years than
Spain was able to do In its centuries OF
Philippine ownership. Its first task was
to demonstrate to these beligerent peo-
pie that the United States meant bust
ness and. that the American flag stood
for an authority which could not be
defied. To do this called for some serious
work, some heavy sacrifices and some
slaughter.
The businesslike way in which the
American forces went about the task as
signed them was so strikingly In con-
trast with the Spanish methods that to-
day the barbarians of the southern
islands entertain a wholesome respect for
the American uniform. The attack on
Secretary Worcester must be regarded as
an act Of individual fanaticism. 1t does
not necessarily signify any widespread
spirit of revolt. Doubtless the prompt
ness with which 1t was repealed will
teach wholesome lesson throughout this
part of the archipelago. and the suuse-
quent proceedings will enforce the demon
stration that an American officials life
is highly priced by the government at
Washington. Perhaps this affair may ul-
timately prove OF value in renewing the
assurances to the Moros that the United
States is a real force and that the men
who are sent out to do the work of ad-
ministration must be protected by the
people themselves.

Best Citizens" Lynchers.
From the Charlotte IN. c. Observer.

From the Charlotte IN. c. Observer.
1t having been reported that a Missis-
sippi mob which lynched a negro for writ
ing an insulting letter to a young white
woman was a rather bad lot, Tax Asses-
sor J. D. Miller of Concordia parish. La,
adjoining, writes an indignant denial to
the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. THE
lynohing of Elmo Curl at Mastodon, Miss,
last night" he proceeds to say, was a
most orderly affair. conducted by the
bankers, lawyers, farmers and merchants
OF that county. The best people Of the
county, as good as there are anywhere,
simply met there and hanged Curl with
out sign of rowdyism. There was no
drinking, no shooting. no yelling and not
even any loud talking. All of the best
people OF that section took part, pnd I
have never seen q more orderly assem-
blage anywhere" AS between the order
ly and disorderly lynching let us have
the latter every time Rowdies may
break loose In the most lava biding COM
munities, but when the best class of cit
liens deliberately and coolly turn lynch
ers there is an evil situation indeed. The
salt has lost It's SAVIOR and cannot again
be saIted. This defense of the 1ynchin8
at Mastodon, Miss. is all unconsciously,
q condemnation of that community strong
er than the most righteous indignation
could have composed.

The National Guard.

Sixteen hundred of Washington's young
men took train this morning for Gettys-
burg clad in the service uniform of the
National Guard. ready for a fortnight Of
instruction on that historic field in COM
pany with large number of regular and
militia troops. finer body of citizen
soldiery never went forth either to fight
or To drill Both the men in the ranks
and the officers under whom they serve
represent the. National Capital in the
best and fullest sense. They are drawn
from every line of activity and every
social grade. They are all workers, with
a stake in the welfare Of the community.
They have joined the guard because
they desire to be actively engaged In
some civic work. and they eagerly par
ticipate in these annual eneampments
both as a diversion and as a means of
perfecting themselves in their self-as-
sumed role as the first line of defense
at the seat of government.
IT is appropriate that the National
Guard of the District should be so highly
organized and so efficient There is much
talk about Washington furnishing models
for the country, and in some particulars
It is true that the local institutions are
"ofthy VI iiHftdbOI us representing the
best that can be devised Yet In some
respects through congressional neglect
Washington does not attain to this high
point. No criticism of the National
Guard. however. has ever been justified
as far as the officers and men of the or
ganization are concerned. Steadily the
old weaknesses OF the militia forces have
been eliminated. The Tin soldier" has
been relegated to the rear. National
Guard work now means business The
uniform bespeaks the seriousness with
which this responsibility is assumed. In
a parade in which regulars and vol,n-
teers march together it is practically i'm
possible to distinguish the one from the
other save for the banners.
The people of Washington highly ap-
preeiate the National Guard and regard
II as an assurance of safety. 1t has
never been called upon to maintain or.
der in the city, fact which may pos
sibly be due to its well known efficiency.
The highest function of a military force
is to preserve order by preventing trou-
BILE, and IL may be that the National
Guard OF the District has by its very ex-
istence and readiness for service at any
call discoura ged disorderly intentions on
the part of the potentially eruptfve ele-
nlents The government has Of late years
felt ii to be unnecessary to maintain
here large force of regular troops be-
cause OF the assurance that in the event
of disturbance the local militia would
suffice. The lack of a large military es-
Enlistment at the seat of government
1s a well deserved compliment to the men
who are now in camp at Gettysburg
learning to be even better soldiers.

A Well Merited Rebuke.
rom the New York Times.

The religious newspaper which con-
dennis the aviators for trying to in
habit the air in defiance of what it as
sumes to be the intention of the Crea-
tor argues quite within its rights. The
writer of the rebuke remembers the
Tower of Babel and the punishment of
the III advised climbers heavenward. But
he should go further. Man defies ma
ture persistently. He was rot made to
fnhabit the water. yet he swims and
dives and accompishes wonders under
water. He will not stay where nature
places him. He discovers steam and
electricity and encirces the earth. He
defies the rigors Of climate to which he
should, in proper piety, submit, and
keeps his body warm by covering 1t
with the skins which belong properly to
other creatures. What Is more, he bathes
and he shaves from his face the hair
grown there by nature with Divine intent
The groves we're Gods first temples and
mans early habitation, but man chops
down the trees. clears spaces and builds
palaces and novels of which nature sup
plies no model. Now he is learning to
nv. There is no limit to his foolhardi-
ness. to his vain ambition, to his desire
to control all that is on the earth, or In
it's waters, and it's circumambient air
The rebuke is well merited.

And starts again next day.

Always in a hurry,

SMALLEST MAN IN
WORLD HERE
Major Charles Gantz, Who Was
Here During Irrigation Con-
gressI ReviSitS Albuquerque,

Major Charles Gantz, The Won
der" who is without doubt the small
est person in the world, Is spending
a couple of days in Albuquerque en-
route to California. Gantz was here
during the irrigation congress, and
will likely be remembered by many
local people. He is As years old,
weighs thirty pounds, and is but eigh-
teen inches high. His head is of nor
NAL size, as he wears a No. Z hat,
though his shoes are No. 3, chiid's
size. Gantz is healthy, of jolly dis
position. and with a laugh which is
decidedly the biggest part of the little
fellow. He was born in Fairfield,
Iowa, of normal size parents, his
father standing six feet tall. He
started TO school at the age of twelve,
acquiring a high school education.
After his schooling was completed he
lived with his people in Iowa, where
he dealt and traded i'm stock until he
was 80 years old, when he started on
exhibition tours.
When in Albuquerque last Gantz
was with carnival company, but
since that time he Is manager and
owner of his own show, and does not
go on exhibition except in the summer
months. During the winter season he
travels around over the country and
enjoys all the sights immensely He
has amassed fortune in the last fif-
teen years and his rainy day"
sums up in the thousands.

dants and attracted considerable at
tention on the streets yesterday,

HAY, BUTTER, eggs

BradStreet's; American Mar
ketS Out Of Line With Rest Of
World.

In a short summary of the yields of
leading crops issued recently by
Bradstreet's Journal of Trade, Finance
and Public Economy, the following
comments are of interest;
Wheat is a shorter crop this year
as compared with last. here and in
the world at large, but the price is
lower, owing apparently to large
stocks in all countries and the sur
planting of this country by others in
the worlds markets. Potatoes though
a short crop, sell lower than a year
ago Despite increased yields, cotton
is higher than year ago Hay, but
ter, eggs, chickens and flaxseed are
all higher than a year ago. Americas
markets rs a rule. but especially for
foods. are out of line with the rest
of the world and our export trade in
grain and meats shows a decrease
from a year ago In fact, Were II not
for larger exports of manufactured
products and the higher price OF cot
ton, our total export trade would
show a decrease instead of having
reached, as it did in October, the larg-
est monthly total ever recorded.

the unprecedented extension of the
