EDITOR INDEPENDENT:--A Although
l am an ardent admirer of Hon. w. J.
Bryan, as a statesman, and his princi-
Piles Of government, allow me to con
graduate you and commend the
course you have taken in your con.
demnation Of the proposal to appoint
him to Il command in our army at
this critical time.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Brydu's honor
and integrity, as statesman, is I'M
questionable, we do not want men
unskilled in the art of war to COM
mand our brave heroes who have
gone to foreign lands to uphold and
protect the honor of our country and
cold Glory" simply because they are
good statesmen, and some of their
admirers think they should be shown
courtesy. Nor do we want men
placed in command who will uncon-
sciously lead the gallant ones under
their control into battle where defeat
wonld be foreseen by skilled officer,
and leave the bones of our noble Logs
bleaching under the scorching sun of
the islands Of the South.
/ saw the boys Sunday as they
passed Toano on their way to Chey-
enne. They appeared happy and
seemed to be enjoying themselves as
they sped away to- God knows
where.
AS I babe them all good bye and
God speed, and wished them all to re-
turn covered with glory, this thought
occurred to me: Il wonder how
many Of them will see again" Such
partings are the saddest, although
the grandest encountered IN our lives.
WheE we see the ones we love, the
ones we have grown from infancy to
manhood with, the ones we spent our
happy scbooldays with, speeding
away to the battlefield, we are en-
COMPRISED with the saddest yet the
grandest feelings OF our lives. 1t is
sad to see them go and to think that
we might never see them again, but
it is glorious to behold the lofty
character and integrity of the boys
who love the honor and freedom of
their country better than their lives.
May the mothers of those who have
gone rejoice in the noble patriotism
of their beloved sons, and many will
be the prayers sent up that they may
all return to enjoy the glories they
are so gallantly earning.
The boys we're not cheered as they
passed Toano. 1 felt too badly to
begin cheering myself and I do not
know what was the matter with the
few others that we're there.
Yours truly,
+. M. JOHNSON.

THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE WAR

@Much Of the discussion respecting
the ultimate disposition of the Phil
pine Islands, assuming that the Unit
ed States now controls lor will soon
control them, is necessarily prema-
ture. The question is IN important
one, but the future must decide it.
Matters have not advanced sufficiently
at this time to enable the forming Of
an opinion OF value. Certainly no
body in authority is offering any ex-
preston on the subjec! except in the
nature of speculation.
"The attack on the Philippines,
although our quarrel with Spain is
over Cuba, was certainly justitiable.
As her weakest spot within our reach
they invited our first blow. 1t did
not matter that they we're on the
other side Of the world. Our object
being to finish Span in as short or
der as thoroughly rs possible, her ter
ritory in the Pacific was just as legiti-
mate game for us as is any she con
trolls in the Atlantic. We are intro
ducing no new feature into our pro-
gram. Our original aim is still onr
only aim, and that is to drive Spain
out of the Western hemisphere. She
has been factor only for evil and
discord over on this side, and we are
tired of her company.
"The Philippine Islands as per-
manent possession would be of great
er value to either Great Britain. or
Japrn, or Germany, than to the Unit
ed States. AS matters now stand,
their value to us, if we can hold them,
will lie in the pressure we shall be able
to bring to bear on Spain through
them in the settlement Of the ex-
penses of the war. Spain will have
to pay the bills. That is as certain
as can be, and the PHILIPPINES, if
brought under the hammer, would
command large sum.
oI uldu0ul CCCuphuC vi WIG
islands by the United States would. it
is easily to be seen, be a radical de-
parture from the American policy.
They are far beyond what we know as
the sphere Of American influence. and
they would carry us into strange
waters. We belong in the Western
hemisphere. We announce sup?em-
acy here. 1t is that supremacy which
has caused us to speak in the matter
of Cuba, and which has caused the
great powers to respect the position
we have taken toward Cuba.
"But the war is young yet. The
problem may grow in difficulty and
completely as time passes, and pre-
sent some new and unconsidered
phases. The proposition today is that
Spain must get out of this hemis.
phere and pay the cost of her forcible
ejectment. Whatever else hapens
that will not be lost sight Of That is
still the main American purpose

Sowing and Reaping.

1t is lust as certain that nation
will reap what it sows, as that an

ries as to what we have been sow
ing as nation, and also what we
are reaping, for nations more surely

sow in this world.
Away back in the sixties Tia
government began sowing licensed
saloons. 1t has been sowing them
ever since, and O what a harvest
we are reapingl a harvest OF
drunkards, prostitutes and gamb-
llers; harvest of broken hearted
widows and starving orphans; a
harvest of tears and sighs al d
walls of anguish. This is a faint
picture of what we are reaping here.
What, Q what will the harvest be
in eternity? Why did our govern
ment enter into this agreement
with death and hell? In the first
place, for few paltry dollars OF
revenue. She continues it because
the liquor element has become
mighty, holding the balance OF
power, and by playing back and
forth between the two leading par
ties it retains that power 1t has
been losing business for the gov
ernment all the way through, a.
the expenses resulting from the
traffic are far in excess OF the reve'
nue. derived from it. And then OF
the o her hand all these millions o
dollars paid to the government
would not redeem ONE OF the hund
red thousand souls that are damned
by it every year. :,

The Jews would not give up
their idols, though oft severely pun
ished. Under the punishment OF
famine, war, and pestilence, with
which God chastened them, they
would repent for season, but soon
lapse into worse idolatry than ever,
until Gods mercy was exhausted,
and they were dispersed. Just so
with our nation. We cling to our
idols. Bacchus, Gambrinus and
Mammon are our chief gods. We
bow to them, making annually un-
told sacrifice of peace, happiness
character and souls. We do 1t
knowingly and willfully, in viola
ton of Gods law. What will the
end be? Will God destroy the
Jews and let us 90 unpunished for
