The Caldwell watchman. (Columbia, La.) 1885-1946, 1916-07-21

MindanaO has larger colony Of
American planters engaged mostly In
hemp cultivation, than any other spot
in the islands. Notwithstanding that
the people there have always been
hostile to trespaSSers. Many of these
have been wantonly murdered, but the
fatality list is growing less right
along, an evidence that the people are
being converted to new order of
things. Many of these brave Ameri-
cans started business on what they
saved from a soldiers wage, and to-
day not few of them are Oriental
nabobs.
Responding to Education.
For centuries the Moro thought the
only kind Of effective government was
that having force behind it. To be
kind to him, in his opinion, meant that
you feared him. But to be kind, with
means of making kindness accepta-
BILE through q standing military force,
has completely wrought change in
the warlike people. Under good lead
ers the MoroS are good people; under
bad ones they, too, are bad.
The Mohammedan religion teaches
that to STAY a white man, or Chris
tan, is sure way to get to heaven.
Therefore, in Spanish times, and dur
ing our early occupation, fanatical
MorOs used to run amuck, chopplng
down as many foreigners as they
could with their wicked knives. Often
it has taken q dozen bullets, we'll
aimed from a high-pOWer army rifle,
to kill the craZed followers OF the
Koran. All Moros hate pork as bull
does red flag, and the military Otfl-
Ger who placed the dead body Of q
fanatic inside pork carcaS and
strung the two up ia the plaza for
the inspection of others effectually
kept running amuck" within bounds
in his territory.
But today the MorOS are laying
aside their war kriSes and spears. are
discarding their tight-fitting, gaily
colOred costumes for modern dress,
similar to the Filipinos, and are send
ing their children for the first time to
public schools. A decade hence there
may be Moro professional men, such
as lawyers. doctors and scientists.
A committee of Moro chieftains who
went to Manila recently to meet Resi-
dent Commissioner Manuel QueZOS OF
Washington, himself a Filipino, told
the commissioner that schools were

T HERE was one flcn and un-
ruly realm the Spaniards we're
glad to rid themselves of fol-
lowing the battle of Manila
bay. The huge Island Of Mndanao,
pronounced as though spelled Mind-a-
now, known In the Philippines as
MOroland, had the reputation of being
largely uncOnQuered, as much by the
military as by the missionaries. The
M0r0s chung to their religious beliefs
as tenaciously as they opposed Span
fish domination in government writes
Monroe Woolley in the Utica Satur-
day Globe.
But the Moro archipelago today is
not what it was when we first took
up stewardship there. This means
that it is not the unconquerable en-
pire it was when the Spanish essayed
to rule and run it. For a long time
we sought to make the MorOs obedi-
ent BY whipping them-by killing
them off. Hundreds, thousands of
them, were slain in periodic CAM
paigns, yet the fiery Mohammedans
lost no opportunity to treacherousiy
murder our troops and officials at
times when pacitication seemed ap-
parent.
Military operations failing to a con-
siderable degree, and mindful OF the
hopeless task of the Spaniards, an
other method was devised to win the
people to new government and to new
ways of living. At first the Philippine
government smoked a peace pipe with
the sultans and dattOs, chiefs of COM
munity factions, seeking in this NAH
ner to make itself popular with zoe
masses. AS much good will as pos
sible was thus literally bought. Cost.
ly gifts and junketing trips were be-
slowed on the tribal chiefs, and they
were fawned upon as loyal subjects
are wont to do with royalty. Later,
brute force was wholly abolished.
Kindness and diplomacy We're finally
substituted therefor, and with this en-
lightened new system we are gradual
ly and thoroughly remaking Moham-
medan MindanaO. G
Known to and thoroughly explored
by white men for centuries past, Min
Ganao is today just beginning to be
lifted from savage past into the
limelight of civilization. The rich
realm has never been exploited be-
cause the inhabitants were always hos
tile to any outside interference Min.

Those linens and cottOns that do not

comfort and trim appearance and ele-

fine-graned lady. The best designers

BEST COLOR FOR LAMPsHADE
Excellent Reason Why Rose Shade
Never Seems to Lose lts
Popularity.

Green may be good color for the
eyes.
Violet may be IN esthetic color.
Yellow may be cheerful color.
But rose color Is the most becoming
color for a lampshade.
Fortunately, most people realize this
fact. At hotels and restaurants and
in private houses where the decOra.
lions are planned to emphasize the
best in the persons who live among
them, rose cOlOred lampshades are
much In evidence.
Lampshndes always ought to be
planned with view to the light they
east. That Is why the rOse-cOlOred
shade Is the most becoming. For any
woman knows that her color CLOVIS
more under Il rose light than under
any other, that wrinkles are minimized
that skin Is sOftened and that every
vestige of prettlness she possesses Is
emphasized by this soft color.
Sunlight emphasizes wrinkles and
makes the skin look harder-and no
body minds on the golf courses or the
skating pond. But in the evening,
when woman puts forth her greatest
! efforts In the matter of dress, she
wants to look her prettiest; and this
the rOse-cOlOred lampshade helps her
| to do.

lowed his fancy some license In fin
fishing the sleeves In an unexpected
fashion. The haring cuffs of blue are

cuffs of white pique.
A suit of this kind calls for wash

commonplace will do. The sailor hat,

dressed well enough for almost any
