BOTH the news and advertising

continue to broaden out from week
to week in a very healthy manner,
all Of which is much to the credit
of the papers new owner, Editor
Fred L. johnson. His views on
the question Of expansion, as ex-
pressed in the last issue, may not
be exactly in accord with those Of
the administration republican
press, but are certainly not with
out considerable weight, seeing
that he carried a gun in the SER
vice of his country down in Cuba,

declared it in 1894" Give years

Manila's American paper, Gree

Manila's American paper, Free
DOM" publishes what it claims to
be an accurate list of the deaths in
the American army in the Philip
pines, up to June I'd. The total
number of fatalities is 1856
twenty-three officers, 500 privates
and fourteen civilians attached to
the army. A remarkable feature
of the record is found in the state
ment that the number of officers
killed in battle is out Of all pro-
portion to the number of privates
killed. On the other hand, fewer
officers died from disease, proper
tionately, than privates. Out of
the twenty-three officers dead,
sixteen were killed in action, two
were drowned and five died of
disease, as follows: Typhoid, 1;
meningitis, 2; rheumatism Of the
heart, l; paralysis, 1. OF the 500
privates, 294 died of wounds re-
ceived in action, nine were killed
accidentally, twenty-three we're
drowned and seven committed
suicide. One hundred and six
died Of typhoid fever, 80 Of small
pox, AZ of dysentery, 2S of pneu-
monia, 10 Of malarial fever and Il
of meningitis. Tie remaining
seventeen died from various dis
eases. OF the fourteen deaths
among civilians, seven were from
smallpox and three from ganshot
wounds received in action.

I'M ESSENTIAL STEP

If, as the news columns of the
daily press indicate, the CONNER
cial travellers of the northwestern
states have engaged seriously in
the work of breaking down the
operations of the trusts. it is not
an extravaganza to declare that the
general public is quite certain to
be substantially benefited by the
operation. There is no class in
this or any other community which
has it in it's power to affect the
progress of events in commercial
or industrial life more seriously
than have the commercial travellers.
Their opinions are regarded as
possessing unusual weight on all
matters which pertain to business
policy and to political and econ
omic events in their bearing on
the operations of business life.
It was owing to their influence
that the pubic was first aroused to
the enormities Of the Mckinley
tariff; and the effect of their freely
expressed opinions on that subject
at that time was to send Dem
ocratic congress to Washington.
1t is declared, furthermore, that
the business men, hotel proprie-
tors and merchants generally ale
in deep sympathy with the move
ment and can be relied on to CO.
operate with the travelling men.
With such conditions realized a
great and essential step will have
been taken in the conduct of the
warfare upon trusts which has now
become inevitable. There can be
no better agency devised for the
creation of the necessary public
sentiment. which will be found to
be the essential weapon with which
this battle is to be fought. No
mere declaration Of courts,or legis-
latures, or Of administrative off
GERS; no mere exposition of party
policy, as embodied in political
platforms, will be effective in rid
ding the business of the country
Of this awful incubus which has
fastened itself upon it. There
must exist an aggressive and
sleepless public sentiment. With
out it nothing can be done. With
it the work Of destroying the trusts
is merely matter of time and OF
a comparatively brief time at that
The antitrust league which the
com mercial travellers of the North.
west are about to form, if properly
guided and conducted, will, it is
safe to say, do more tangible and
effective work within the present
year toward roofing the trusts out
of existence in this section than all
that has been accomplished since
the evil first presented itself fol
public consideration.
