STARVING OUR SOLDIERS

The INSCRIPTIONS army contractor is
getting in his work. Last Monday the
members of one of the Montana companies
at Camp Merritt refused to obey an order
to march on the ground that they had
not been given proper food. They were
hungry and could not drill or march on
the rations they were receiving. While
the matter was being investigated one
Of the men tainted from hunger. The
company did not march.
The result of the investigation showed
that the bacon which had been furnished

officially condemned.
At the time the soldier tainted the
colonel Of the regiment was lecturing thu
company on the serious offense Of dis
obeying orders. That is most serious
offense, indeed, especially in time Of war
But it Is a much more serious offense to
furnish the defenders of our country, en-

The complaints that have been made
against the commssary branch of tn,

SPAIN AND HER TROUBLES

Spain's "sad but glorious days" are likely
to come thick and fast from now on
Cleveland Leader.
Before many days pass 1t may be neces-
sary for Jonathan Bull to lay Spain across
his knee.-Pittsburg Post.
Spain's efforts to induce the powers to
persuade her to give up fighting are still
unavailing, and Spanish honor is in pro-
fuse observation-disclosures City Journal.
Spain continues to protest to the concert
of the powers that the Cuban blockade Is
ineffective. She can test the matter by
ordering Cervera to leave Santiago. If he
succeeds in getting away the evidence will
be irrefutable.-St. Louis Star.
The Spanish cause is hopeless Even the
rabid Spanish editors begin to realize the
fact. They are saying that while national
pride Is fine thing, it cannot make one
equal to ten. 1t is ten chances to one that
Spain will soon swallow Its pride and crys
"Hold, enough!'-Utica Press.
Poor old Spain is confronted with an
other enemy as dangerous as the

A Protest Suggested

To the Editor of The Los Angeles Herald:
In view of the fact that there Is posi-
bility of H. w. Patton's being appointed
bank commissioner, would 1t not be well
to circulate petitions in Southern Califor-
MIA and allow every man who believes in
good government, able representation and
competent men, chance to sign It, If such
a protest is forwarded to Governor Budd
as soon as possible. I'll guarantee that If
the governor has any doubt in his mind as
to what the people think Of Patton he will
be satisfied for once and all on that propo-
sition. Governor Budd has made the state
Of California a wise and efficient governor,
and now we hope that when he winds up
his affairs of office he will not do as Mark
ham did, appoint any more Gunsts. Allaw
me to assure The Herald, that in the good
fight it is making in behalf of the people
the Democracy of Burbank are ready and
willing to assist against politician Patton
as bank commissioner.

A TROUBLE LOOMING UP

The dispatches say that Spain has
asked the European powers to urge the
United States to occupy Manila instead of
permitting the insurgents under Aguin-
aldo to do so. 1t is probably not necessary
to prefer such request. Admiral Dewey
made it possible for the insurgents to
take the field against the Spanish with
any prospect of success. The capture of
Manila will be in essence an American
achievement, and Dewey, when our
troops arrive, will see to it that his
country does not lose the fruits of his vic
tory.
But what will happen when the Spanish
shall be dispossessed of the islands? Will
the insurgents attempt to set up for
themselves in independence Of the United
States? Will they be satisfied with a
mere change Of masters? This is ques-
tion of moment, and one that will have
to be settled at an early day. Aguln-

The typewriter stood on the generals desk,
Whence all but 1t had fled;
The fleet they had bottled was all but a

And he banged each rafting Key

SURPRISING THE NEWS

The Nebraska building at the Omaha
exposition was dedicated last Tuesday,
Mr.. w. ]. Bryan making the principal
address. Mr.. Bryan's speech was nom
partisan in character, and eloquent as a
matter of course. 1t was devoted in part
to the war, and the great and growing
question of our future international pol
icy.
The Associated Press deemed the speech
of sufficient Importance to send out nearly
column in regard to it, covering the
salient features, all of which was printed
in yesterdays Herald. A careful scrutiny
of yesterdays Times, however, falls to re-
veal single lire regarding it.
A great deal has been said Of late about
Mr.. Bryan's being back number in poll
tics, and no longer prominent in the ,s-
timation and calculations of the people.
The fact that leading Republican news
paper like the Times thus omitted all
reference to Mr.. Bryan's speech shows
clearly that he is still dreaded by his po-
litical opponents.
The readers of a newspaper are en-
titled to the news, regardless of the bias
of the papers editorial opinions.

The irrepressiblc Senator Thurston pre-
tends to think that Mckinley Is second
Lincoln. If the president is such HI
ought to be reminded that when Lincoln
found out that Old Simon Cameron was
unequal to the demands of the war de-
partment he got rid Of him by sending
him to st. Petersburg as minister. Why
can't Mckinley do something Of the kind
with Alger? We dislike to advise that
Alger be imposed on any intelligent and
civilized people, and therefore suggest
that he be sent to a country that is will
derness of pine. There Alger would feel
at home, for he is familiar with sawlogs
and sawmlls. In managing that kind of
business he has acquired considerable
proficiency, but in organizing, supplying
and directing the movements Of an army
he is conspicuous failure. 1t is crimo
to continue man in place after he has
made it evident that he has not the ability
to fill it. Has not Alger already been
honored enough to compensate him fer
his contribution to Hanna's campaign
fund? The country should not be made
to suffer any more for the sake Of enabling
Mckinley to pay political debts.

block of his house he found the thorough
fare completely filled by women of all de-
grees of beauty and conditions. All were
his neighbors and friends, and all felt for
him the affection and admiration which the
noble defenders of the country are entitled
to- but which makes the stay-at-homes a
bit envious all the same. He kissed the first,
and the second, and the third, and the
fourth, and the fifth and-well, in fact, he
kissed them-for perhaps it would not be
discreet to mention how many there were In
all-space and figures are too limited, Then
when he had reached his own front door he
learned that one Of his neighbors was at
home too i'll to be out, SO he went in and
kissed her also. AS long as grass grows and
