intensely popular, and asked him to
say to congress that as long as that
body was disposed to furnish school
books that the MOros themselves
would furnish the schools and the
scholars. Datto Piang, one of the
powerful chieftains, has himself erect
ed two costly schOolhouses in Min
danao solely at his own expense. A
Moro doing anything of this sort in
olden times would have been hanged
by his own people.
Baseball Has Helped.
Baseball has helped wonderfully
with the Moros, as it did with the
Filipinos, to cement affections for the
Americans. It is claimed by learned
Filipino who recently toured Min
danao that in two decades the WIS.,
itor in Moroland will not be able, so
far as dress and manners are con-
cerned, to distinguish a Moro from a
Filipino. No American baseball fan
really knows what fun is until he is
privileged to see a holly contested
game of ball between FilipinOs and
Moros and gives an attentive ear to
the game vernacular as it is spoken
nv our wards in the excitement Of the
sport.
With the awakening to civilization
the Moro is acquiring some chiva1ry.
One of the sultans thought he had
reached the acme of pOliteDess when
he asked the popular daughter of one
of our ex-presidents, at the time Wis
iting his palace, to become No. 1 In
his harem. OF course, there was a
blushing declination, at which the
dusky ruler was probably chagrined.-
But the incident goes to illustrate that
the American, as well as the Christian
Filipino, is for the first time making
himself and his institutions accepta-
BILE to the remade Mohammedan5 OF
our farthest-fung frontier.

/ NIindanaO has a 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 soldiers wage, and to-
day not a 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 1t. 10 be
kind to him, in his opinion, meant that
you feared him. But to be kind, with
q means of making kindness accepta-
BILE through 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 u Chris
tian, is a sure way to get to heaven.
Therefore, in Spanish times, and dur
ing our early occupation, fanatical
Moros used to run amuck, chopping
down as many foreigners as they
could with their wicked knives. Often
it has taken a 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 a red flag, and the military oftl'

fanatic inside pork carcas and
strung the two up in 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, ara
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

danao, with the Sulu archipelago
the Mohammedan empire-is well
worth reconstruction, and it is per-
.haps this fact which has made us so
persistent.
Largest of Philippine Islands.
Mindanao itself is the largest island
by far in the entire Philippine archi-
pelago. It is about the size OF our
own state of Mississippi, and is big
ger than Indiana or Ohio. 1t would
make seven states like New Jersey,
and is by far much larger than sew
,eral Of our Atlantic coast states COM
.bined. To be precise, it has an area
of 1921 square miles.
In ancient times the Moros had lit
tie, if any, business sense. They hau
a woeful lack of the appreciation OF
money. To overcome their antlquateo
ideas of trade we have establlshed
markets for them in the leading towns
where they meet to buy and sell.
Some day Mindanao will be one OF
the leading countries of the world Tor
the production of rubber. The rubber
tree grows wild there in great pro-
fusion. Although the industry is as
vet undomesticated, exports from
single locality have reached nearly
1 ,OOO, 900 pounds in year. The island
also produces much hemp, as well as
tapioca, cocoanuts and other tropical
fruits.
We have been successful in giving
railroads to that part Of the Philip
pine archipelago occupied by the Fill
ipino. even though foreign capital had
to furnish the money, but We have
yet to lay the first steel rail in Min
danao, the greatest and richest of the
islands of our insular frontier. Bor-
neo. distant only a stones throw from
Zamboanga, Mindanao's metropolis, is
far ahead of Moroland in everything
save natural wealth.

~ HERE was one rich and IN
ruly realm the Spaniards were
glad to rid themselves of fol-
lowing the battle of Manila
bay. The huge Island Of MindanaO,
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
Moros chung to their religious beliefs
as tenaciously as they opposed Span
iSh 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-
to rule and run it. For q 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 Mohamnedans
lost no opportunity to treacherously
murder our troops and officials at
times when paciication 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 man
ner to make itself popular with the
masses. AS much good will as pos
sible was thus literally bought. Cost
~ 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 were finally
substituted therefor, and with this en-
lightened new system we are gradual
ly and thoroughly remaking Moham-
,medan Mindanao.
Known to and thoroughly explored
by white men for centuries past Min
danao 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

would indicate a family of the usual
size. Joseph had but one free white
male of sixteen years and one free
white female under sixteen years de-
pendent on him.
The number of slaves owned by these
men would indicate that they were not
at that time great landholders, but it
is not safe to assume this because many
large landholders hired slaves from
other owners. and some large slave
owners were not great landholders,
but utilized their slaves by hiring
them to landholders.

lily which the Rambler wrote of last
