Farmers and truck growers will please . remember tljat they are ex pected I9.sstt.a0me of their best pro- hssaeocatso the anr order of things Another More Sacrifice. We reproduce tho following from the Manila Times, a nowspaper pub lished In the Phllllplno Islands by Americans. It speaks for Itself: When the last Judgmont Is passed American occupation of the Phil ippines there will doubtless bo some things to our credit; there will also bo much to make us ashamed. The story comes from Mlndoanoa. Datto Mustapha, an aged More chieftain, was called upon to pay the cedula tax which a good government finds necessary to impose In the Inter ests of civilisation and In order that tho More may learn the purified ways of tho white man. The aged Moro, accustomed through long years to ad minister his own domain, inherited from his father, whoso ancestors, so the tale goes, had conquered It, failed to recognise the authority of tho white stranger to usurp his authority and to Impose tribute on his people. When the hirelings of tho white stran ger Invaded his territory and demand ed that ho bow tho knee and acknowl edge the now master by paying this tribute, his proud spirit refused to mako obeisance and ho told agents to begone. Several other missions of these minions of tho white stranger mot with tho samo stern refuse tnd they wero warned to desist. Some days passed and tho age batto had occasion to attend tho fu- noral of n noar relatlvo. But even then In tho midst of his mourning, he was not allowed peace. The tax- gathers still hounded him, and a per emptory order was sent him to call at tho fort. This, of course, ho re fused to do. Then came the end. The next day tho scouts wero sent to punish this old man who dared rebel and flout an authority sanctified by superior force. They found hm sitting In his doorway with a kris across his knees and surrounded by his women folks and children. Tho picture was too much for oven these men who are accustomed to shed blood and they retired. But why prolong the tele? There could be but ono end. Mustapha, tho aged Moro chieftain, and eight of his people, were slaughtered, among them, u woman, his wife. As usual, there were no casualties among the troops. The Incident Is edifying, truly, and we, tho noble apostles of civilization and peace have a right to be proud. Eight dead Mores, Including an agod chief and his aged wife, and “no cas ualties among the troops.” Eight dead bodies stretched stark and cold where before there were eight senti ment, breathing human beings moved by like passions and affections as we are; with friends and children U love ami n home to enjoy. And all for a cedula tax. There may be some who call this benevolent assimilation. We call It murder. Here was an old man wanted simp ly to be let alone and live bis ac customed life until the time came when he should be gathered to his fathers. In his partriarchsl simplicity he had probably never beard of such a thing as a cedula tax, and the waya of the white man were nob hie waya When they came and demanded that 1 fot -h n.i-roxa Far he did what 1 ; self respecting and ELOPED WITH ANOTHER’S WIFE NOW DeLAND, FLA., MAN 18 DEAD —SUPPOSED SUICIDE.
