Great Interest will b- manifested In the forthcoming report to congress of the com mission appointed to Inquire Into the af fairs of the little negro republic of Liberia, situated on the west coast of Afrca. Started ss a haven of refuge for the negroes found on the captured slave-trading veirls In the days of James Monroe, It flourished under a sort of tacit protectorate of tha United Stated until 1M7, when It was recog nised formally as a republic. Since then It baa eked out an existence an a nation, all the while beset with trials within and trlb ulatlona from without. When the English colony of Sierra Leone on the one Side, and the French Ivory Coast colony on the other. Liberia's Ina bility to maintain the mastery 'over Ita native tribes has been made the excuse for much territorial aggrandisement on the part of England and France. Added to this has been Its Inability to collect taxes from the native tribes within Its dominion. There slso hns been trouble about the fi nances of the country. English firms loaned Liberia tWO.OnO at one time, and a similar amount at a more recent date. The latter, however, was loaned upon the ex press condition that English officers should have charge of the Llberian custom house. Later England Insisted upon having her officers command the Llberian troops. France also made many demands upon the little republic taking the position that all of Ita territory which It could not ef- lectlv." control was fairly subject to French Jurisdiction. Owing to this condi tion of affairs Liberia concluded that Its further existence aa a nation was In Jeop ardy, and that Its salvation depended upon an S. O. S. call to America for aid. It sent a commission to the United States to enlist this government's sld. It asked that Uncle Sam go on Its bond, so to speak, and guarantee Its territorial and political Integrity. Secretary Root Immed iately put his dlplomatlo foot on such a request, but wrote a letter to the president asking him to urge the appointment by congress of a commission to Investigate Liberia's troubles. The president did so, and funds were voted for the expenses of this Inquiry. A first-hand Investigation was made, and the report thereon Is now In preparation. The altuation In which Liberia finds Itself Is peculiar In many. ways. It Is the only negro republic in the world. Its territory equals In extent that of Pennsylvania. Only the small portion fronting on the sea board has had the slightest development, the remainder being an untamed tropical Jungle, peopled by savage and semi-savage tribes who refuse to be taxed or In any other way to acknowledge the yoke of Liberia. These tribes consist of about 1,500.000 people, while civilised Liberia boasts of only 40,000 Inhabitants. While it might be made a veritable Kden of plenty, no part of this little republic is developed to even a small percentage of Us possibilities. Nearly every tropical tree and plant that grows will thrive on Llberian soil. Coffee, rice, Cotton, bananas, pineapples, oranges and other staple tropical and semi-tropical crops grow luxurlapjjy where properly cared for. But the natives have little taste for agriculture and the civilised element has less. 'But far worse for . Liberia's Industrial outlook than tha disposition of Its people to shirk work,, Is the law declaring that no white man can own property. The re sult has been that the white man's capital has not been forthcoming for the develop ment of the latent resources of the country. Instead of railroads, saw, mills and., other wealth-producing enterprises, Liberia haft biased trails and their usual accompani ments. Time after time the Intelligent ele ment in the government has attempted to repeal this law, but never with success. If the civilised population has a 'prejudice, against the whites, it Is as nothing com pared with their prejudice against the native tribes. These are referred to as "those stinking bushmen"" and other no less elegant terms. The natives return this contempt with compound Interest. With the native tribes resisting the right of the government to tax them, and the civilized Llberluns accumulating little property upon which assessments can be made, Liberia takes recourse to Import and export taxes for the support of the gov ernment. This amounts to from 12 to 21 per cent, depending upon the commodity taxed. The export tax has a tendency to stifle whaf little inclination toward agri culture there Is In the people. Opinions differ as to the prcsept status of the civilized population of Liberia. Some writers declare that they are progressive and show a high state of public morals. On tn j other hand, such authorities as Bishop Hartzell, head of the Methodist church In Africa, and Miss Mahoney, a missionary who haa spent years among them, declares that the civilised Llberian is not what he once waa. Bishop Hartzell says that polygamy is being preached and Neal Institute, Omaha, Neb.

There once Sabbath observance was as rigid as In the sternest of New England towns, a wide open day Is the order now. Miss Mahoney declares that once hundred civilised men of Liberia could meet and defeat 1,00 bushmen In a Jungle fight, but that now odds are about even. She says that once the Llberlana could build as good boats as were to be bought from England or Germany, but that now few competent boat builders are to be found. With the contempt the natives feel for the civilised element, It 's little wonder that the tribes are not enthusiastic in embracing the Christian religion. On the other hand, Moelemlxm appeals to them, as It does not carry with It such a strict code of morals. Many of the tribes are falling In with Mohammedanism, and this portion of Africa will become a spirit ual battleground between the Cross -and the Crescent. One advantage of the missionary Is that the ambition of the natives to learn to read and write brings their children into the mtfislon school and thus under Chris tian Influence. Among the dozen or more native tribes the Kroos are perhaps the best known. They are the moot muscular of all African tribes, fror generations they have served as sailors on the vessels engaged In the African coast trade and enjoy the reputa tion of always possessing a steady nerve and a cool head. They are passionately fond of freedom and while stave trading was going on in Africa they successfully resisted all attempts to take them. When an Individual was captured, he Invariably took his life rather than go into servitude, consequently the Kroos soon were found to be unprofitable aa slaves. They have a sort of hereditary chief, who conducts their business with other tribes and the Llberian government. He is a sort of minister of foreign relations. The actual government of the tribe Is In the hands of the elders, whose badge of office Is an Iron ring worn about the leg. They meet and make the laws governing the tribe, and act as Judges In the few cases that cannot be settled by the individuals themselves. Another tribal officer Is the president, who keeps the symbols and seals of the government and uses them in accordance with established regulations. He also con ducts a sort of twentieth century edition of the ancient city of refuge. Any tribesman accused of a crime may flee to his house for protection, and his security Is assured until he has been proved guilty. Land la held by the tribe, aa a whole, but is par celed out to actual tillers to be held by them so long ss cultivation continues. Once this ceases the tract reverts to the government. One who lands at Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, on a gala occasion may see all sorts and conditlona of negroes from the Breechcloth bushman to the polished uni versity graduate. Some will be dressed a la mode, others may have a discarded silk hat and hickory cotton shirt, and still oth ers a threadbare Prince Albert coat and bare legs. When the natives come to town they usually bring, enough palm oil and other commodities to pay the expenses of the trip. 1 Each tribe has Its own peculiar dialect and customs, but one thing that Is common to all Is the welcome extended to the periodical visitation,, , of, he. driver ant. Tropical westher and. ( tropical habits are not conducive to extreme cleanliness , In 'household affairs, -am nearly . all of - the Kuta which constitute , the homes of the poorer classea of Liberia become Infested with vermin. Periodically the driver anta set out on big foraging expeditions, great hordes of them visiting every place that promises a Juicy bug or other toothsome Initeot. Therefore house cleaning tn tha wilds of Liberia consists of no more trouble than giving the driver ant access to every nook and cranny. The man who is how president of Liberia Is the first one ever elected who was not a preacher. He is Arthur Barclay, a full blooded West India negro. Fighting Bob Evans tells an amusing story of a cere monial visit he made to a Llberian ruler when he was a captain in the navy. While talking with the president the swish of silk skirts was heard and tha gallant old sea-dog Instmotlvely arose. A dusky wo man came In and was presented as the first lady of Liberia. Flghting"T3'ob, ac knowledging the Introduction, said: "Howdy, Auntie, how are you?" Tha Ll berian president waa amused and laugh ingly Inquired: "What part of the south are you from?" Evans acknowledged to having been born In Floyd county, Vir ginia. "Well, that's a coincidence," re marked the president. - "I'm from the Old Dominion myself. I was born in Dinwiddle county."

Ware Discuss Problems of Munici pal Reform. Municipal government reform In general and the commission form of government In particular were the subjects discussed last night at a meeting of the First Pres byterian Men's club, under the presidency of Dr. W. F. Mllroy. C. F. Harrison, who opened the consid eration of the subjects, his theme being "Municipal Oovf rnment," said It waa ad mitted on all sides that the problem of today was the problem of the cities," and if It cannot be solved "he added" in this country, then democratic government falia." The last census, he said, showed that one-third of the people of the country lived in cities of over 1,000. People were changing the simple 'life of the country for the complex life of the cities snd con sequently American democracy waa on Its trial In the cities. Remarking that only a few of the cities of the country had conferred upon them the privilege of formulating their own form of government, Mr. Harrison ex claimed. "Is it not aaomaloua that a city Ilka Omaha cannot determine how much It will apjend on public utilities, such as building sewers, buying the water works, or building a conduit It seems anomalous that these matters must be decided at Lincoln by the whole state legislature and run Into the cauldron of politics. "In my judgment," said Mr. Harrison, discussing how reform could be effected, "the evil does not lie In the form of gov ernment, but in the personnel of tha body elected to carry out the administration of the affairs of a city; the unwillingness of good men to take tip, the dutlea Imposed by municipal government" , John D. Ware's talk was upon ths com mission form of government. Ha declared hlmstlf in favosof the Iowa plan as ex emplified at Des Moines. The Charrh and Divorce. SOUTH OMAHA, March U.-To the Edi tor of The Bee: Asking your patience, I file an answer to a letter published today from Xenla Falrchlld. I thank her for the unexpected compliment when she ssys that "I write as If I had just had a talk with the parish priest." However, such was not the case. Any 10-year-old child of the church would have addressed her with practically the same arguments. Such Is the simplicity and unity of tba church's teaching. Your correspondent evidently haa as little regard for Henry VIII., from some stand points, as I have from all. Decent public opinion has long since consigned him, and Katherlne Parr, et al. to that low atratum of moral degradation of which they happen to be an historical example. I merely cited Henry VIII. as the patron saint of the "Incompatlbles," and modern society Is most Interested In asking why so many now-a-days emulate his example. The an swer seems to be because they may. It Is very e.sy to discover incompatibility as an excuse, when there is an "affinity" be yond the open door of the divorce court. Very easy for the man of wealth to dis cover how very contrary and lncompatl blethe faded wife of his youth haa be come, In contrast to the blooming beauty who has usurped the plce formerly held by her who tolled and assisted him on his road to affluence. . Would he be so careful toVoster the in compatibility If he knew that beyond the court of divorce there was no hope of marriage with the new affinity? Tour correspondent's charge that mem bers -of the church generally do not obey Its -command to live in peace Is really, too absurd to require an answer. Why, do the yellow journals sdd as a thrilling headline "and they are Catholics," whenever, In extremely rare cases, any so-called Catho lics raise a Pittsburg smudge. It was be that public opinion is unanimous in looking for something better In the lives of the adherents of the church. Else,' why the thriller? True, some nominal Catholics, sated to the point of both sensual and spiritual Intoxication with wealth and the worldly pleasures wealth can buy rebel against the discipline of the church then, surely, It is no longer responsible for them. Automobiles are more proflllc of affin ities than wheelbarrows. The court rec ords of legal separation are a better refutation of your oc respondents' asser tions than any words oftnine. She says she Is not unfamiliar with the church's interior. If so, she must refer to its physical Irterior. In such knowledge ths janitor supasses either of us. I refer to the spiritual Interior Its teachings and doctrines. As I prefer to address arguments where I peraelve symptoms of thought, not hy steria, in response, I will be pleased to call this correspondence a closed incident, by again charitably auggestlng ' a study of the church's attitude on social questions before attacking It.
