pushed actively and vigorously, and
the opposition to our army must be
ended as rapidly as possible. Peace
must be established by this govern

president said, IL Is proposed to bend

General Funstan's Advice.

Ii the administration will do little
calm listening and IA little quiet think
ing, it will learn something to its adj
vantage and the country's profit from
the returning volunteers. General
Funston of Kansas has added the
weight of his testimony to that of Ma
Jor Weisenbcrger of Washington.
There must be no temporizing, no
wasted sympathy, no foolish senti-
ment," says Funston. at must be a
case of light General Funston adds
that the best of the Fillipinos are ig-
norant, and as IA race they are quite
incapable OF self-government. The
amazing thing is that intelligent
Americans are found To doubt the
truth OF these observations Exchange

To Solve Murder Mystery.

The coroner's jury called last Friday
to enquire into the cause Of death of
the unknown man brought down from
Standpoint last week, met again Mon
day and adjourned until next Monday,
October 10th. The coroner is evident
~ intent upon solving the mystery
surrounding the death Of this unfor-
tunate young man. Whether any clue
has been discovered or not we are I'M
able to say, but the fact that the cor
oner's jury has not yet returned YER
dict or been discharged is significant.
TO enquiries Coroner Loop replied to
u representative OF the Republican
that he had ''hunch" which might
possibly lead to discovery OF the MUIR
derer and identity of his victim. No
one appears to doubt that the young
man was murdered and that the mo-
tive for the crime was robbery.
