Worthless Mdn Take Delight
In Frequent xRaids for

. 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.
