sTHE NEWSPAPER.

A little boy in neighboring town
was required to write an essay the
other day. "The Newspaper" was his
subject and here is the result:
81 don't know how newspapers came
to be in the world. don't think God
does, for he hain't got nothing TO say
bout them, and editor is not in the
Bible. l think the editor is one of the
missing links you hear about, and
stayed in the brush till after the food,
then came out and wrote the thing up,
and been here ever since. Idon't think
he ever dies. never saw a dead I'M
and never heard of one getting licked.
Our paper is a mighty poor I'M; the edi-
tor goes 'thout underclothes ell winter,
don't wear no socks, and pa hasn't paid
his subscription in five years"

in the malarious, pcstilcntial swamp@
American soldiers would sicken and die
by thousands. The Filipinos under
stand this, but our expansionists show
a remarkable Indifference to 1t. The
possible sacrifice of thousands of Ameri-
can youth in subduing the Filipinos and
keeping them subdued is Il matter in
which the advocates of expansion take
no interest. A Colorado soldier writing
from Manila says: 81 sincerely and
truly consider the lives of a half dozen
of our efficient, fearless and intelligent
American soldiers as worth far more than
the entire group of Philippine islands"
The policy of expansion contemplates
the sacrifice of thousands of such lives.
1t would be well for the American peo-
pie to consider more closely than gen
orally they have yet done this aspect
of the matter. We have freed Cuba
from Spain ut a cost of about 5000
American lives How many more lives
are we prepared to sacrifice in order to
carry out the policy of Imperialism?
