VIEWS OF VOLUNTEERS.

There are few who served in the
Philippines who win ever want to go
back" Theodore Cleghorn of Battery B
has informed an administration organ.
And he voices the sentiments of the
volunteers generally, too.
Yet they were kept there almost a
year after the signing of the protocol,
impressed into war for which they
had not enlisted, and when the govern
ment authorities had no moral or.legal
right to hold them. This was the opin-
ion of the attorney general. 1t was
the contention OF the local organ Of
Imperialism prior to that trip to Wash
in~ton.
Manila is no place for white man."
says the young artilleryman, who adds
that rich man could get along there,
but poor one could not compete with
native labor. Yet annexationists would
bring into direct competition with the
working people of this country between
five and ten millions of these cheap
Asiatic laborers.
In another interview Mr. Cleghorn
spoke in high terms of the intelligence
of the Filipinos, and especially that OF
Aguinaldo, whom he considers a re-
markable personality. The way in
which the Filipino chief has conducted
the struggle so far, he considers a SUI
fcient proof Of his shrewdness and
ability, and believes that the conflict
IS ear from ended"
Now let the rip-roaring rampant fire.
eater Of Imperialism VINO advocates war
for others to fight and abuses those
who think an honest, frank policy
would bring hostilities to a speedy
close-let it blow smoke out of its nos

trolled by facts or reason. He touches
all the chords of our nature except
the simpler ones, and his disposition
to magnify the dreadful often makes
him fatiguing. Still, he is superb when
he deals with human sufferings, though
he lacks naturalness. His style is re-
markable and his rhythm sonorous and
musical. No French writer has so
modified the French language. Whether
he adopted the lyrical strain or the
epic mood, Hugo was a great poet.
capable of a wide range of themes, CT
great visions, but relatively poor in
ideas. He voiced admirably the
thought of his times and of his coun-
trymen, not as a scientist-he knew no
science-nor as a speculative thinker,
but as a seer. While he frequently
changed his most fundamental opinions
he always sang worthily of God, of the
soul, of the hereafter, of brotherhood,
of progress and human perfectibility.
God and conscience never were met
aphors for him, but the great realities
in an age when courage was required
to assert ones positive religious con-
victions. While time will doubtless
make great havoc in the gigantic work
of Hugo, much will survive. because

SAUSAGE MOURNS.

Luetgert is dead. The sausage indus
try Of Chicago has lost one of its most
enterprising promoters. He introduced
features into it that were said to be
entirely original. But Luetgert's saus-
age had a more depressing effect upon
consumers, especially after his formula
was made public, than arises from the
dyspepsia caused by eating ordinary
links.
Luetsert's efforts to revolutionize and
humanize the butcher business were
not appreciated. Had his lot been cast
among the Hottentots or Fiji islanders
he would have been hailed as bene-
factor of his race. In Chicago, where
the divorce mill does all his kind of
grinding, Luetgert's life was a failure
Some day, perhaps, when the laws of
divorce are made uniform and Chicago
courts hold out no promise to the man
who would sever his MARRIAGE ties.
Luetgert's monument at Joliet may be-
come a shrine. But sufficient for the
day is the evil thereof" There will be
no tears shed over the news that he
was found dead in his cell at the Illinois
states prison yesterday

GIVE 1T TO FUNSTON NOW.

In his interview reported by Consul
Wildman, General Funston gave ex-
preston to several ideas that have been
gradually growing upon the public
mind in this country since the 4th day
of last February.
IF the administration had given to
the Filipinos,'' he said, the assurance
of independence given 10 the Cubans
there would have been no bloodshed.
If that assurance were given now hos
tilities would cease
1t was not Edward Atkinson, the
miserable old traitor, who said that.
1t was not Larry Godkin of the dis
loyal Post, who reported it. Those are
the sentiments of Fighting Fred Fun
ston- the hero of the Philippine cam
paign. They are recorded by Rounse-
Vile Wildman, an appointee of Presi-
dent Mckinley, himself an imperialist.
Isn't it in order to assail Funston as
a traitor to his country. as a breeder
of discomfort among the volunteers and
an Aguinaldo sympathizer? Why should
Hanna's hirelings make distinctions?

missionary. They were strangers to each

versation. Passing the wall which sur
ROUNDS the hahowed spot, the American

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES

Say" said the street car conductor to a

The mild man looked up and said: II m

ROOT AS A FIGUREHEAD.

The satisfaction which followed AL
gers retirement was general, but the
approval of the presidents choice of
his successor in the war department is
by no means unanimous. even in the
Republican party.
Secretary Root knows nothing about
war, does not pretend to understand the
organization or equipment of an army;
he never belonged to a military organi-
zation in his life. so far as the record
shows; he doesn't know platoon from
a brigade, and probably wouldn't be
able 10 tell colonel from a corporal if
he met them face to face; but he is a
lawyer, and his excellency, the COM
mander in chief, needs legal defence
more than the nation needs military
defence.
The scattered sentiment of dissatis-
faction among Republicans may be
Cleaned from the following from the
Commercial Advertiser: THE presi-
dent does not need a lawyer for secre-
ta.y of war. The department of justice
has able lawyers, whose talents are al
ways at the service of the other execu-
tive departments
Evidently the president thought diff
ferently. He must have concluded that
he needed lawyer rather than sol
der. He does not need a man with
political tact or influence, able to deal
smoothly With senators that want pat
sonage and make friends for the ad-
ADMINISTRATION" says the New York ex-
ponent of Republicanism; and it volun-
teers the following admonition: Did
the president think of nothing but to
strengthen himself politically. the sur
est way TO do this is by putting the war
department in the hands of a man
that will ignore politics and Go bust
ness"
Clearly the president is only thinking
OF something to strengthen his chances
in the next national convention, but he
is proceeding on lines so different from
those pointed out by some of his more
disinterested advisers that the Com
mercial Advertiser frembles for the
