Wichita Beacon: II it
was understood that eV-
m
GENERAL.

Mckinley wouldn't be pestered so much
by men wanting honors and emolu-
ments.
Hutchinson Herald (Rep): Counting
our pension list, our military expenses
are greater than those Of Germany by
g4O,O0O,OO0 a year, and greater than that
OF any country in the world.
Newton Banner (Pop): Two things
are needed to carry on War-men and
money For the first the government
goes out and picks up the best men 1t
can find and says, Come along need
you" but for the second 1t has diff
serent plan.
Hiawatha World (Rep.): We hope
that the President has ordered the bonn
bardment Of every Spanish fort and
vessel until Spain either surrenders or
Ia exterminated. That's the only policy
that will win, now. And it will be pop
ularly received by the people.
Wichita Beacon: When Mckinley
heard that the Ohio reserves had re-
fused to enlist as individuals he is re-
ported as having said that the war
might be prosecuted to successful end
without them. It takes real war to
teach men how unimportant they are.
Labor World DULUTH: If Germany
were at war she could transport her
troops throughout her territory free of
cost, whereas we have to pay the rail-
roads $13,500 for carrying a single de-
tachment of the army to the South.
Private ownership is beautiful thing
Rt all times and more especially during
times like these-for those interested.
Columbus Modern Light (Pop):
Strange, is it not, that all of the Re-
publican colonels, majors, captains and
lieutenants enlist from purely patriotic
motives, while the Populists and Demo-
Gratis enlist for political reasons, and
for the salary and for other sundry and
divers bad and unpatriotic motives, all
OK which is fully exposed in the Republi-
can press.
' Labor World (Duluth): 1t will be in
terestlng to see what effect the war
will have upon the fortunes OF the old
parties. II these old parties learn from
experience that q war Is a good thing
10 delude the people with and that by
means Of one the political crimes of an
administration will be relegated to OBJ
livion, we may look for pronounced
lingo tendency in our politics from this
time on.
Winfield Free Press (Pop): Fully
26,000,000 acres of American land are
owned by great land owners OF England
and Scotland. The rise in land values
makes these men wealthy, although they
do not produce cent of wealth by their
own labor. They simply absorb the
values created by the labor of Others
Why should not these values created by
the public go into the public treasury in
stead Of into the pockets Of foreign land
lords?
Russell Reformer (Pop): 1t no doubt
would be a good plan for the Senate to
have read every day during the discus
sion OF the war revenue bill DR.. John
Clark Ridpaths mastery treatment of
the viciousness Of public debt, entitled
the Bond and the Dollar" After hear
Ing this unanswerable arraignment read
from day to day our Senator's would in
deed be dead to all humanitarian feel
ing II they did not support the finance
committee.
Me1lclne Lodge index (FOp): The
man who says II was born a Republi-
can, shall live Republican and will
die Republican" has been brought up
IA ignorance and does not desire to edu-
cate himself When a man assumes to
declare that he will belong to certain
party years after years hence, when he
can have no way Of knowing what cause
that party will champion at that time,
there is little hope for him. He is
worth less to the country than the most
trifing canine that ever howled.
I'M New York Sun: 1t may surprise some
Americans to know that Dewey's victory
carries with 1t spOils Of war probably
larger than was ever decided by the issue
OF one battle. The future value and in
