II Nil LIKE BEASTS Repulsive Practicesin Span ish Morocco Pictured by Correspondent WIVES TEAM WITH OXEN Worthless Mdn Take Delight In Frequent xRaids for Theft and Murder . CETU Morocco. July 5. Apart from all International agreements and political reasons, the stranger in the Spanish rone of Morocco soon reaches the con clusion that humane feeling and propriety call for an effort to bring the inhabitants of Morrocco into contact with civilizing influ ences. The sloth and misery existing mong the men of Morocco strike one on every hand, and the corre- pondefct of The Associated Press during a recent tour found evl- ences everywhere of the depths to which the natives have sunk. The men. for Instance, despise la bor of any kind for the purpose of making a living. They think it good, however, for their women lolk 'and see no inconsistency in harnessing their wives to beasts of burden. Babe Slung at Skies. Frequently women may be seen carrying their infants in leather acks slung at their sides while they are attached to the same oke as a decrepit bullock or a consumptive cow dragging a lumsy cart. Behind them their lords and masters hold lengthy discussions, never giving aid even in the most difficult circum stances. At night the men sally forth to rob in the neighboring settle ments, for they seem Incapable of shaking off their inbred love of theft. Many of them, it is sa'd, would murder a close relative for a silver coin and it is certain that, even in circumstances of the ut most peril, they will go on thiev ing expeditions. Spanish Hule Helps. Much has been done for those of the natives who have submitted to Spanish administration. They have been supplied with seeds, implements and clothing and at tempts Jiave been made to intro duce cleanliness and to allay the lot of the women; but lt is found difficult to eradicate century-old customs.
