The New York Herald is after Sen
ator Martin. of Virginia, with sharp
stick for alleged remarks on the peace
treaty. in which the Senator Is quoted
as saving that he would oppose the
treaty if every American soldier in tn"
Philippines were shot down. as that
would merely be additional proof to MS
mind that we do not want the Islands.
The language in which Mr.. Martin eX-
pressed himself may have been unfor-
tunate, but we are sure that he never
intended by il to express any lack Of
interest i'm the welfare OF the defenders
Of the American flag If he used the
language that has been attributed u
him. il is apparent that II was only
meant to emphasize his firm convic-
ton that the Philippine archipelago
should not become a part of our body
polite. The Herald does not take him
TO task for this position on the subject.
and of course, it could not do so. 1t
simply insists that the language used
was a "cold-blooded reputation OF our
soldiers" That Senator Martin had no
such intention we are entirely satisfied
The Norfolk Ledger
our contemporary has by this time seen
Senator Martins letter, which was pub
ushed in Fridays Dispatch, and knows
that his language was rot correctly
quoted by the Herald.
