are ready-made suits of moderate
price that command the respect of the
most discriminating of women. The
most effective suits follow current
modes with so much reserve that they
are not out Of date with the passing
of a single season. This is especially
true of the materials of which the
best tailored suits are made.
The suit shown here is an excellent
example of a standard suit, made Of
black and white checked material,
which is never out of fashion. The
skirt is plain and rather full and
flares sufficiently to be in the mode.
The coat is plain cut, with an easy

OUT WITH THE Pathfinder!
He Is One Unmitigated Nuisance That
is Everywhere and Has Ex-
listed Always.

The worlds greatest nuisance is the
faultfinder, for he is conspicuous ev-
erywhere, John A. Sleicher observes
In Leslie's. He does not hide his light
under bushel nor speak in a whis-
per. His mission is to be seen and
heard.
The Creator in six days made the
universe, and when it was finished de-
clared that the work was good. Yet,
since its creation, the world has been
full Of faultfnders, who do not think
it is good enough for them.
The popularity of the habitual fault
finder is that he has no reason to find
fault. He disturbs the serenity of
those who are happy and who would
enjoy peace and contentment but for
him.
Nothing satisfies the faultfinder, and
no era has been free from his tantaliz-
Ing presence. The faultfnders exas-
perated Moses on the mount until he
dashed to pieces the stone tables in
scribed with the first written laws
of God. But the Ten Commandments
remain the law of God and man.
The faultfinder is the bane of the
family circle. He undermines affec-
ton, destroys peace and breeds discon-
tent. He is the fly in the ointment,
the unwelcome intruder. He makes
the task of the genuine reformer
more difficult.
He blocks the path of progress. He
cumbers the statutes with unnecessary
and unavoidable laws. He dictates de-
structive policies to those in authority
and makes them cover before his vitri-
Ollie tongue, his poisonous pen and pes
tiferous persistence.
No church has been without it's fault
finders, no social organization; no
shop, factory or office, and no move
ment for the public good is exempt
from his intrusion.
The faultfinder is found everywhere,
scattering the seeds of distrust, poi
sOning the minds of those who will
listen, marshaling the forces of unrea-
son, casting shadows on the sun, dim
ming the light of the stars, hooking
the hopes Of humanity and challenging
the goodness Of a benefcent Provi-
dence.
Out with the faultfnder! We have
no room for him.

Mother of Vice Presidents.

Discussing the candidacy of Fair
banks, one Of our esteemed contempt
raries jocularly referred to Indiana as
"the mother of vice presidents" The
claim is unfOunded, for this diStinc-
ton belongs to New York. Our state
has been the home of no less than ten
vice presidents: Aaron Burr, George
Clinton, Daniel D. Tompkins, Martin
Van Buren,, Willard Fillmore, William
A. Wheeler, Chester A. Arthur, Levi
P. Morton, Theodore Roosevelt and
James S. Sherman. What is more,
four of them were presidents later
Van Buren, by election, Fillmore and
Arthur to fill accidental vacancies and
Roosevelt to fill a vacancy and also
by election. But Indiana can claim
only four vice residents-Schuyler
Colfax, Thomas A. Hendricks, Charles
w. Fairbanks and Thomas r. Mar
shall. In the running mate rivalry,
however, Indiana leads New York in
one respect. Since the Civil war she
has furnished three unsuccessful NOM
inees for vice Observation-Disclosures
in 1876, William FL. English in 1880
and John w. Kern in 19O8-as against
New YOrk'S tWo-WhitelaW Reid in
1892 and Sherman (who died before
the close of the campaign) il 1872

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. 1t 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 hotly contested
game of ball between Filipinos and
MorOs and gives an attentive ear to
the game vernacular as it is spoken
by our wards in the excitement of the
sport.
With the awakening to civilization
the Moro is acquiring some chivalry.
One of the sultans thought he had
reached the acme of politeness when
he asked the popular daughter of one
of our ex-presidents, at the time Wis
fitting 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-
bic to the remada Mohammedans OF
our farthest-fiung frontier.

The tailored suit is of perennial in

women step down and up to a COM

Mindanao has a larger colony or
American planters, engaged mostly III
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 a new order or
things. Many of these brave Ameri-
cans started business on what they
saved from a 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 it. To be
kind to him, in his opinion, meant that
you feared him. But to be kind, with
a means of making kindness accepta-
BILE through a 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 a 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 a dozen bullets, we'll
aimed from q high-pOwer army rifle,
to kill the crazed followers of the
Koran. All Moros hate pork as a bull
does a red flag, and the military Off
Ger who placed the dead body of
fanatic inside a 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, are
discarding their tight-ftting, 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

the commissioner that schools were

danao, with the Sulu archipelago
the Mohammedan empires 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. 1t 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 had
q woeful lack of the appreciation Of
money. To overcome their antiquated
ideas of trade we have established
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 for
the production of rubber. The rubber
tree grows wild there in great pro-
fusion. Although the industry is as
yet undomesticated, exports from a
single locality have reached nearly
100000 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
fpino, 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 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-
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 treacherously
murder our troops and officials at
times when pacifcation seemed ap-
parent.
Military operations failing to 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
Iy 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
" 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 a 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

Don't Worry!

Health is oftener undermined by
worry than by work. Lincoln wisely
said that no man ever sank under the
burden of the day. 1t is only when
the burden of tomorrow is added. that
the load becomes greater than man
can carry. Remember, then, to bear
your burden a day at time and don't
worry.
