Loving the battle OF Manila
bay. The h1ge Island Of Aundanao
pronounced as though spelled Mind-a-
now, known In the Philippines as
Horoland, 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 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 Moham,nedans
lost no opportunity to treacherously
murder our troops and officials at
times when pacification 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 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 remaling Moham-
medan MinlanaO.
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
imelight Of civilization. The rich
realm has never been exploited be-
cause the inhabitants were always hos
tile to any outside interference. Min

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 a learned
Filipino who recently toured Min
danao that in two decades the WIS.,
it0r in Morolund will not be able, so
far as dress and manners are con-
cerned, to distinguish 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 IN 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-prcsidepts, at the time Wis
iting his palace, to become No. 1 In
his harem. OF course, there was q
blushing declination, at which the
dusky ruler was probably chagrined.
But the incident goes to illustrate that
the American, as well MS the Christian
Filipino, is for the first time making
himself and his institutions accepta.

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 6,721 square miles.
In ancient times the Moros had lit
tie, if any, business sense. They had
n woeful lack of the appreciation Of
money. TO overcome their Anticipated
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 q
| single locality have reached nearly
100000 pounds in year. The island
also produces much hemp, as we'll 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. Dor.
neo, distant only stones throw from

far ahead Of Moroland in everything

Anatomy From Experience,

The former big league baseball man.
ager, who had been canned because
the team finished last as usual, was
taking a civil service examination in
order to Secure a political job. He
was amazed at the list of fool ques-
tions on the examination paper. He
didn't know the distance from the
earth to the moon, so he passed that
one up. And he could not describe q
syzygy, so he called that test loser.
But the third question interested him.
1t said:
"Name the largest bone in the hui
man frame"
And with a grin of confidence the
former manager wrote this answer:
