Plot 10 Establish
Moslem Sovereignty
By Moros Reported

MANILA, p. l., Sept 25-(Associ
ated Press MaiD-Hauling down the
American flag, hosting the Turkish
flag in its place and driving out all
Americans ana Christian Filipinos
were parts of an alleged plot by Gre
tain Moor datus in Lanao province,
Island of Mindanao, according to a
communication received today by the
director of non-Christian tribes,
whose headquarters Is In Manila.
Alaeya Alonto, who signs himself
Sultan of Ramain," makes the
charge and the communication is
signed by 25 other sultans, 241 datus,
ten rajahs, one haji and more than
three score other Moros, who are fol-
lowers of Mohammedanism.
1--WE Moros are trying to do all we
can in learning from our Christian
Filipino brothers, except the eating
of pigs, which is forbidden by our
religion, for we know now that they
are far better than we are" writes
the Sultan of Ramain. "The agree
ment of Datu Anal Manabiland with
Datu Anal Binaning to do foolish
ness caused the death or the latter.
We, the young datus of Lanao, will
be very glad if all those old datus
are killed as they are hindering the
progress of our province as well as
the whole Philippines. The aim of
their agreement was not only to drive
out the Christian Filipinos but also
the Americans, because they want the
Turkish flag to be raised all over
Lanao and the Turks to take the
place of Americans and Christian
Filipinos."
The Sultan says the young datus
desire that compulsory attendance of
public schools should be enforced In
Lanao province. Notwithstanding the
opposition of the old datus who fear
that the public school teaching will
alternate their girls from the Moham-
medan faith.

COLORED UMBRELLAS

From the New York Tribune.
 Nature Is always correcting our perversitics. Thus, in ouraseous contrast to the business depression, has come the colored umbrella. The business depression was a drab af- fair, conceived by chaos, a fog of uncertainty, and in a sense an il- fusion. The colored umbrella is many-hued and resplendent.
 It is true that the business de- pression was mental, and equally true that the colored umbrella is ma tcrial and physical. But then, as William James pointed out long ago, in order to cure melancholy one must smile, even if one smiles only at random. And so nature, cut off in it's impulses to force gayly colored stones, turns to the girls to carry out its wholesome intentions. And because the business depression has been unusual nature adds to the pro- gramme of existing colors among the girls xhe final touch Of the colored umbrella.
 It is one thing to have gayly col ored parasols out in the country at fetes, on bright, sunshny days, com peting with the flowers; it is much higher order of things to have the colored umbrella, on rainy days in cities, cutting through the eternal drabness and melancholy of things in general.
 It seems singular that nobody be- fore had thought to relieve the mo- notony of a rainy day in the city. In fact, we do not realize how de- pendent we are upon color. To the eye it Is like music to the ear. All the colorful little girls who move about the city streets are contribut- ing more than they can possibly know to the happiness of society; not that it is necessary, as some of their extremists seem to think, to display so much of it on their cheeks. But how necessary it is that they should be colorful we would never know un less upon some fateful day they should all suddenly abandon their colors. Then we would see how much we are Indebted to them for keeping our spirits up.

ANOTHER MONUMENT TO DAVIS

 where he took the oath of office as President of the Confederate states and overlooking the typical ante bel1um home where he lived during the first period of the war a struc- ture religiously preserved as one of the great historic links with the be- roic past?
 There is already a fine monument to the soldiers and sailors of the Con-s federacy on the north side of the cap itol, for which the facade of the building makes a beautiful back ground. A shaft on the other side of the building to the man who took their every wound to heart" would have as striking surround ings from an architectural and artis- tic viewpoint and would be placed in the one spot of the entire south where the historian would look, for such a monument. We hope that the women ofNAlabama will take up Mir. Germans suggestion Like the vet erans whose banner is furled but who will live as long as resolute pa triotism and sublime courage are subjects of human admiration, the womenspf the old south are fast pass ing and few are able to take part in movement of this kind. But the generation who are now and who will continue Daughters of the Con federacy should consider this monu- ment the rounding out of the mag work they have performed in preserving the memory of the con spicuous figures in southern history.

"NOW IT CAN RE TOLD'

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
 A curious sideiight on the fears and dreads and dangers of England in the early years of the war came out of London on the eve of the return Of the railways to private ownership.
 The war office was so firmly con vinced for long, time that the Gert mans would invade England by zep- pelin or carrier planes that 1t in- sisted on keeping 100 trains in con- stant readiness to move troops to meet the attack. Day and night loco motives, steam up and coupled to the trains, were in instant readiness.
 It was generally understood that England feared an invasion from across the channel, particularly after the light cruiser raids and the Whit by and Hartlepooi shelling. But the war office near-panic went un- guessed, at least outside of England. This late disclosure helps to explain why England did not place larger fo, ce on the west front prior to 1916.
 England slashed a great deal of landscape along the channel and the North sea with trenches and other defensive works. This was known, of course, but it was regarded as more of precaution against remote pos sibility than as a defense against probable invasion. It now appears that these trenches were not dug as practice work for pioneer bat talions.
 This is another of the many war secrets, jealously hidden for years. now coming to light. It emphasizes the English fear. centuries old, of what may come from across the chan mel. It emphasizes also some of the reasons why the Enklishman SO willingly pays for the great warships of the empire.

THE CONTROL OF ALCOHOL

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 There is worldwide desire to stop drunkenness. or excessive use of alcoholic stimulants, whether actual Drunkenness follows or not. The sa- loon has gone, to the satisfaction of more than three-fourths of the peo- pie. Distilled liquors will never again be easy to get. Probably there Is good majority which would favor making 1t impossible to get them except under the restrictions which surround the sale of poisons.
 But so long as the production of alcoholic beverages can go on in every household their use can never be entirely prevented by any power at the disposal of any government. The complete disuse of alcoholic bev- erages in the family can only be ac- complished by the extinction of the desire. The abolition of the saloon has gone as far as it is possible to go in one generation toward break ing up the liquor habit. In one or two generations the desire for al- cohol may be almost entirely oblit- erated, if the production of such bev- erages is not forced into the family
 The problem of banishing alcoholic drinks is to restrict to the point where home brewing is not necessary and bootlegging not profitable and then wait a while.
 In British Columbia the authorities are working on that line. Whether their precise methods are the most effective or not. at any rate they are using common sense and we are not. The way to stop the use of distilled liauors is to make 1t very difficult to ret them, while making it easier to get fermented liquors for strictly family use and within reason as to the amount.
 Our present methods do not de- ci ease desire in anybody and increase it among some. Their injurious ef- fects are obvious. To end wars we must remove the causes of war. To stop the use of alcoholic drinks we must remove the desire for them. And that will take time.

 Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 The shrine of American boyhood will henceforth lie upon the summit of Lookout mountain In the Denver Mountain Parks system, where the city of Denver has recently completed museum building to hold the relics of Col ". F. Cody (Buffalo Bii1). The building stands within 200 feet of Colonel Cody's grave on the top of the mountain at an elevation of 1900 feet. The building is one Of the most unusual in America. It is con- structed entirely of logs with the bark still adhering, and of and-cut shingles. From wide veranda one may see with a telescope into the states of Wyoming, Kansas and Ne braska. Visitors have declared 1t one of the best scenic views in the ccun- try.

A huge pine blister, hol- lowed out gives inverted lighting. Frosted globes are contained in Ian terms resembling huge bird cages. The wiring Is buried in conduits hol- lowed out beneath the natural tree bark. The museum contains Colonel Cody's wearing apparel saddles, bridleS gunz Sitting Bulls scalp shirt and peace pipe, and the gun used by Sitting Bull in the Custer massacre; Short Bulls ghost shirt; the knife with which Yellow Hand was killed by Cody; Yellow Hands scalp, takeH-by Cody 10 days after the Custer massacre: presents made to Colonel Cody by European mon- archs and Indian chiefs and a host of paintings, prints, wild west posters and relics of Cody's show days. One of the most interesting relics Is 'Lu. cretia Borgia," the gun with which Colonel Cody killed over 1000 buf- falos in one year for the Union Pa cific, and gained his sobriquet of Buf- falo Bill.

From the Montgomery Advertiser

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 "A LETTER to the Advertiser A from John T. German of Mo
 bile, suggests the building of a monument to Jefferson Davis at Montgomery as the duty of Alabama and the south. MT. German is im- pe.led to the suggestion by the ap- preaching completion of the Jeffer- son Davis monument at Fairview, By, the birthplace of the great southern leader. This shaft, to be unveiled next year, is the patriotic work of the Daughters of the Con- federacy of the Blue Grass state.
 With all the historic associations centering here. the first capital or the Confederacy and the place where Jefferson Davis publicly committed must sem to an earnest Alabamian like Mir. German that the state has overlooked an opportunity in not erecting a monument at Montgomery to the chieftain of the Lost Cause" There is a wonderful place for such a monument on the south lawn of the capitol facing the first Confederate White House recently removed to its present site. The frame structure has bene renovated so that 1t will last for many years. It is in the care of patriotic body of women who will guard it during their own lifetime and pass on the task to their children. sF

FAMEANDSINGLEBLESSEDNESS

From the Florida Metropolis.
 "A T this time when taxation is A\ one of the most important
 questions confronting the na- ton and the states various methods of raising revenues are being sug- gested, some of them practical. others ridiculous and founded on theories more than on facts.
 One of the ridiculous suggestions is tax on bachelors and spinsters. It was discussed by members of the Florida legislature at the recent ses- sion. II was introduced as a bill in the Georgia legislature. One west ern state has the tax on bachelors written in it's statutes. Legislatures as they go into session are being called upon to take up this method of taxation for consideration. The advocates seem to think bachelors and unmarried women are unneces- sary evils, and that they should be punished for not launching their SfdLts on the matrimonial Sea-lu spite of all the sensational news on the front pages!
 But bachelors and spinsters have contributed and do contribute some thing to the progress of the world, and, perhaps, the names of the fol- lowing men and women have been overlooked by the tax advocates, as well as the names of many others who, for one reason or another. never marched to an altar and promised T do:"

* * * Employment Is Asked for Ex-Service Men

TN a full-page advertisement in U the Chicago Herald and Exam iner, paid for by patriotic firms and individuals, the American legion presents some impressive facts to the employers of Chicago.
 Illinois gave 365,00O men to the military and naval service of the United States during the World war. The legion says 10000 of these men have returned to Chicago "to find their old positions occupied by slackers and aliens" They are now out of employment, as result of the governments failure to provide ways for them to obtain positions and general economic conditions. Private employment agencies are charged with demanding high fees and making no distinction between former service men and those who did not fight for their country.
 What the legion asks is not char ity, but work. The legion's cm- ployment bureau guarantees to SUD- ply the man to fit the job and re- minds employers that they now have an opportunity not only to perform a patriotic duty and make good the statement of three years ago that Nothing is too good for the boys" but to acquire the services of men who are just as competent to hold a position in civil life as they were when they wore the uniforms of soldiers and sailors.
 This is form of service in which the American Legion exercises a legitimate function. Its employ ment bureaus throughout the coun- try stand ready to meet the re- quirements of employers. If times were normal, it would be national disgrace to have our war veterans pleading in vain for a chance to earn a living. Even with conditions as they are at present, every em- ployer who has spark of gratitude for the sacrifices made by our ex- service men during the World war should give them the preference when he has vacancy to be filled.

LAzIEsr VILLAGE IN ENGLAND

HARVEST VILLAGE IN ENGLAND From the London Daily News.
 Which is the laziest Village in Eng land:
 If the rector, the Rev. Fl. J. Griffin, Is to be believed the credit must be given to Broxholme, six miles from Lincoln.
 There are only 33 houses in the vil- lage, but the rector says he finds the task of administering to, the spiritual needs of the 1o5 habitually tired souls who comprise his. flock dis courasing and exasperating one.
 It has long been a sore point with him that on Sunday only a sprink- ling of his parishioners trouble to walk the stones throw which sepa- rates the church from the village.
 He complains, too that after weeks of preparation and advertising re- gently not one of the 1oS arrived at garden fete in the rectory grounds in aid of parochial needs.
 The only resident who on this oc- cAsion displayed any signs of anima- to nwas the rector himself. His comments were caustic.

CRIME IN FRANCE

France, as in the United States ordi- narily. woman, especially if she happens to be comedy, seems to be free to kill whom she pleases. The young woman who killed a race horse owner may, perhaps, have had a bet on his nag and have taken this rather severe means of reprisal. Pastoral crime" has wide exten- sion of meaning. A girl or woman Is immune from punishment. So are plenty of men.
 According to Le Temps, not only. technicalities in the courts, but sort of public excess of compassion- ate feeling and a mistaken gcneros- ity. are largely responsible for the escape of criminals. "In the hands of a judge constrained by hundred rules essential to the general guar antee of liberty, criminal becomes q sort of hero with whom newspapers entertain the public" That reflection has been made times enough here. Finally, Le Temps and ether papers directly charge the amnesty law with restoring to bandits" immunity for their little amusements. What shall be done to protect decent people Well. the judges must do their work more quickly, the counsel for the de- fense must stop insulting the vic tins of crime, the jurors must bring in verdicts of guilty and deputies must be made of sterner stuff. Ex- cellent sentiments, just as effective. probably, in the French republic as they are in this.
