RIDERS OF THE PHILIPPINES
Written for the Sunday Standard.

Written for the Sunday Standard
Iankton, S. D., April 5.-This town is
the headquarters of a regiment which,
if the intention of it's organizers is car
ried out, will become famous under the
the name of the Rough Riders of the
Philippines" The regiment has been
recruited especially for service in the
far east and is composed of men who
can ride the bucking broncho to a
standstill and hit Filipino at the dis
lance a Winchester rifle carries. No
others are wanted
The organizers of the regiment of
Philippine rough riders is Col. E. F.
English of this city, a veteran who
served with distinction in the civil war
and gained promotion for deeds that
proved the daring of the man. AS he is
the most interesting parsonage in the
regiment, I will describe him first.
Colonel English was born in New
Haven, Conn. in 1914, and when II
years of age enlisted as a private in the
LIST Connecticut cavalry volunteers. He
served three years in this regiment,
was made prisoner and was afterwards
promoted to captain, but on account
of wounds, was not again mustered in.
He afterwards entered the National
Guard with the rank of major, was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant colonel and then to

A man who has passed most of his life

A chronic boarder and his newly-won wife
started out together to hunt a boarding
house The place he chose did not impress
his wife particularly, but in reality it
proved a gem of it's class. The wife af-
terward asked her husband why he had
picked it out and his answer will doubt

was scrupulously clean; because she was
not effusiye: because she wasn't landlady-

cause there weren't any kids with their
stockings hanging down running about in

because there were no heads poked out of

The regiment of light cavalry that
Colonel English has raised and ten
dered to the president for service in the
Philippines is composed of two 'sroops,
each from the states of Illinois, Ne
braska and South Dakota, and one
troop each from Missouri, Minnesota,
Wyoming, Iowa, North Dakota and
Montana. The men have been carefully
selected with view to service in the
Philippines, and are as intelligent, agile
and fit" body of cavalrymen as
could be found in any army in the
world. For the work for which they
have been recruited they could not be
equaled, as the Filipinos will find out
if they continue to cut capers long
enough to give the new regiment of
rough riders a chance to come to close
quarters with them.
The men are to be mounted on ponies
that are found in the Philippines and
which are especially adapted for use
in the climate of the island, where the
rough riders are organized to fight.
The regiment will carry no sabres. that

not familiar and one that would be of

Great Ages of Nine Noted Englishmen.

1t is difficult to realize that there are

at bush fighting or any other style of
scrimmage where accurate shooting is
required and the nature of the ground
necessitates quick adaptation to the
enemy's guerrilla tactics. For routing
out a willy foe who hides in mountain
Businesses and turks in the recesses of
the forest the Philippine rough riders
will be an unequaled aggregation of
brave and hardy fighters. To body
of soldiers who, for the most part, have
been accustomed from boyhoOd to
sleeping in the Open stalking game on
the mountainside and occasionally
hunting men by way of diversion from
the sport of hunting bears and wild
cats, the F'iipinos will be a problem
easy of solution.
In addition to the small arms, the
rough riders will carry with them a
Zalinski mortar gun Which weighs
40 pounds, carries one-pCund shell a
distance of four miles, and can be
transported easily. put together quickly
and elevated or depressed to the maxi
mum extent of any artillery weapon.
Armed in this way, the Philippine rough
riders will be ready to serve as in
fantry, cavalry or artillery. They are
ready ITO fight in any way that the
president directs, STIMULATING only that
they are not to be called upon to do
garrison duty; they will be in the fore
front of the battle or they will stay AT
home. Not man in the regiment
knows what fear means. They have
faced death too often for that. America
will have cause to admire Colonel Eng
lish's regiment as much as it did that
raised by Colonel Roosevelt, if the
rough riders ever get within gunshot
distance of the insurgents. And when

the city, the county, in which the
authors of the outrage reside cannot
be compelled to pay more than any of
the other residents of the United
States
1t is the unsatisfactory shape of the
responsibility of the Nation for the acts
of individual citizens which may give
rise, in due time, to many complicated
and delicate questions, in this Terri
tory, where a large majority of the
population are foreign subjects. The
Federal Government is under an obli-
cation, clearly set forth by interna-
tional law, to protect the Portuguese,
the Chinese, the Japanese, not only
from the unlawful attacks of Amer
lean citizens, but it must protect each
race from unlawful assaults by the
men of any other race.
Fortunately, so far, owing TO the gen.
eral prosperity of the subjects of for
eign powers and for other reasons
there have been no serious difficulties.
Whether the Chinese who were as
saulted at kahuku by the Japanese, are
entitled to make a claim against the
Federal Government, is an unsettled
question. If China was a nation, which
vigilantly protected it's subjects as
other nations protect their subjects, a
serious case would be made out of that
incident.
This subject is one that at any time
may take an important shape, and no
doubt, the Federal Government is con-
