Filipinos Not Abused.

xY FillplnOs MOI ABUSED
81 suppose you have heard all sorts
of reports concerning the treatment
of the Filipinos, the actions of Amer;-
can soldiers, the mistakes, as they
are called, of Otis, etc. In regard
to our treatment Of Filipinos, want
to say that never in my presence has
prisoner been abused. On the con-
trary, the fellows give them cigarettes
and more cruel than they probably
ever saw before, and even set them
free. Some of the prisoners could not
be hired to escape. They lie around
our quarters, carry water and split
bamboo for fire wood. In the prisons
at Manila and Cavite they have all
the rice, salmon, canned meat and
tobacco they can use.. Shower baths
are in some of the prisons and in all
plenty Of water is furnished for wash
ing both body and clothing.

"From what we hear the people of
the states also have thought at times
that we killed every one that fell into
our hands. There are lots of mean
Filipinos and they do many mean
things. Often times we have caught
them changing their clothing for white
Amigo clothes. AS people they are
treacherous. After some of the fights
we would find among the dead a ma
tive we had fed, well paid and treated
like one of ourselves. Now some Of
the boys, when comrade is killed or
particularly when the white flag trick
is used, or some one is stabbed in a
treacherous manner, would swear all
sorts of revenge and that they would
kill every niger they met, but when
a Filipino is captured they are the first
to offer them cigarillos. There is a
hospital for wounded insurgents at
Manila. 1t is large place and has
been filled to the limit. This shows
that the Filipinos are not all killed

AHoMEMADE CORN CUTTER.
A Kansas Mans Simple and Satisfac-
tory Arrangement.


tory Arrangement.
The day for cutting corn by hand is
almost past. There are number of
machines on the market, but we have
not found one more satisfactory than a
homemade cutter we have been using.
The sled is made with runners 6 feet
long and 211a feet wide. The platform
is made of inch boards and extends Is
inches on the. right or knife side. The
sled is an easy load for one horse. The
whifletrees are attached to the iron
rod G, Fig. /. The sled is also fitted
with shafts. These can be made Of
any light timber. Straight poles are
what we use. Bore hole through one
end to pass the rod G through. These
are to prevent the horse from backing
into the knife.
The knife A is about two feet in
length and is securely bolted to the
sled at each end. 1t can be made Of
an old plowshare or a heavy scythe,
or blacksmith can make one. The
ease in cutting lies in getting this knife
On the sled at the right slant. The
front end should be bolted to the 2 by
brace, B, shown by dotted lines; the
other, 13 inches out from the runner to
the other brace, ID. The outer end
should be trif1e the higher and the
edge of the knife turned up little, so
that the weight of the sled will help
cut the corn. A box, e, fastened on,
serves as a seat for the one cutting the
corn. The horse should be gentle and
will need little attention, as it walks in
the corn row. AS the stalks are cut off

Stories Of Filipino Officers.

"Part Of the Filipinos know that
they will be well treated, but part Of
them are SO frightened by the stories
Of American atrocities that their off,
GERS tell them that they are amazed
when we do not string them up or cut
their threats. Coming up from San
Fernando on the advance we struggled

upon couple of families. They

never saw such abject fear. 1t made
us sick as we passed on.
Filipinos Easily Panic-Stricken.
"Another thing some of the newspa-
pers hint is that it is no wonder we
can defeat the Filipinos with our Cat
lings, cannon, etc., while they have no
such modern appliances. But many
times the Filipinos had opportunities
Of fighting us three or four to one. All
the fighting at first was done by us
with the antiquated Springfield against
the modern Mauser, and the Filipinos
could shoot to kill while keeping out Of
range OF our guns. Moreover many
times the firing line moved on far
ahead of the artillery, which could not
be dragged through the rice fields and
swamps. So the Filipino has no ex-
cuse for not licking the American at
some point in the game, though he has
not done it. They cannot stand a
charge or a death dealing fire. They
become panic-stricken and abandon
trenches and Notifications that would
be impregnable held by us. Their
trenches at Calumpit and all along to

GONE TO SAN FRANCISCO.
Gov. Shaw viii Welcome the Fifty Frs
on Its Return from the Philippines.

Gov. Shaw Will Welcome the Fifty First
on Its Return from the Philippines.
Last Thursday morning Governor
and Mrs. Shaw left for San Francisco
to join with the other Iowa people in
extending to the returning heroes of
the Fifty first Iowa volunteers the well
come which all Iowa voices.
1t was not definitely known until
early last week when the transport
Senator which in bringing the boys
home, might be expected to arrive.
When it was determined that the Sen
ator would reach our shores about
Oct. %, the governor at once made
arrangements to start in order that he
might be in San Francisco on that
date. To do this it was necessary to
cancel few dates that had been made
for him and to disappoint many places
which had requested that the governor
visit them. 1t will not be possible for
the present at least, for the commit
tee to make any more assignments for
him, but, if the Senator makes the
pen that Governor Shaw will reach
home in time to wind up the campaign.
The people of Iowa will regret that
Governor Shaw was compelled to leave
the state at this period in the cam
paign, but they will be in hearty ac-
cord with his wish to be among the
first to extend to the soldier boys of
whom the whole state is proud, the
greeting which goes out to them from
every heart in Iowa. Since the open
ing of the campaign and for several
weeks before the formal opening Gov
ernor Shaw has been on the stump and
has made two speeches per day a
good part of the time. He is one of
the ablest campaigners and most con
vincing advocates of sound money in
the United States. His work in the
campaign has borne good fruit and
Iowa people will remember his forcible
arguments and unanswerable logic by
giving him and the Republican ticket q
rousing majority at the polls.

ANSWERS ATKINSON.
An Iowa Soldier Boy Writes from
the Philippines.
CHARGES AGAINST OUR SOLDIERS.

John O. Stevenson of the Flfty-First Iowa
Disproves the Assertions of The ANTI
Imperialist" Which Is Being Circulated
by the iowa Democratic State Central
Committee-Someth About Candidate
Whites Political Past
The Democratic state central COM
mittee has begun the circulation in
Iowa of The Anti-Imperialist, the mag
azine published by Edward Atkinson
fer the avowed purpose of opposition
to tropical expansion and to the pres
ent criminal aggression in the Philip
pine islands," The issue Of this maya
CINE which the Democratic committee
is sending out by the thousands con-
tains many pages of extracts from the
New York mugwump Post giving al
legged extracts from letters from SOL
diers in the Philippines charging cruel
ty in the treatment of the prisoners
and describing the war now being car
ried on there as brutal. 1t also gives
just enough of the correspondence with
Aguinaldo to lead to the inference that
he was given to understand that the
United States would back him up in
his attempts to establish a govern
ment of his own in the islands. The
magazine does not print the corre-
spondence had between the state de-
partment and our foreign representa-
tiyes in which they were given plainly
to understand that they were not au-
thorized to make Aguinaldo any prom
Uses whatever. This part of the CORE
spondence would not be in accordance
with the purpose Of The Anti-Imperial-
list and is of course suppressed.
AS to the other charges made by At
kinson we are able to present an an
swer in the language Of an Iowa sol
der who has just written to his par
ents in this state in regard to the ru-
mors of such charges which have
reached the boys in the trenches. The
letter we quote was written by John
o. Stevenson to his father, Rev. J. O..
Stevenson of Waterloo, la. Young
Stevenson was senior in Tabor col
lege at the outbreak of the war, and
when the call for volunteers came he
left his books and Joined company T.,
F'ifty-frst Iowa. He has participated
in all the battles in which that regi-
ment has been engaged and has viewed
the situation calmly and impartially.
His letter was written Sept. 1, and
was received last week. The letter
was not written with a view to pub
LEGATION, nor with any idea that it
would have any bearing upon political
subjects. For that reason it is es-
pecially interesting at this time as
showing an Iowa soldier boys views
Of some of the stories that are being
peddled throughout the state by the
Edward Athinson-Fred White crowd.
The following are extracts from the
letter:

ORGANIZE FOR VICTORY.

ORGANIZE FOR VICTORY.
Results Depend Entirely Upon the Sue
cess of Efforts to Get the Vote Out.
Chairman Weaver has secured one
of the strongest organizations Of the
Republicans of the state that has been
had in years and from now to the end
of the campaign every effort will be
made to see that the full Republican
vote is polled. To do this will require
the cooperation of the Republican
workers in every precinct and to them
Chairman Weaver especially appeals.
The reports that have been received
from all parts of the state are very en-
couraging and the various county
chairmen report that there are no de-
fections from the rank Of the Republi-
cans in their counties. They are all
urged not to stop with the knowledge
that the people are going to vote right.
but to see that they vote. That is the
important feature now and it is the
one that Chairman Weaver is especial
ly emphasizing. If the full Republican
vote is polled on the 7th day of No
vember there is no REASON for the ma
jority for Governor Shaw and the en-
tire Republican ticket falling below
10000. Nf the plan which Chairman
Weaver has arranged is carried out as
it should be and the Republicans in
each precinct do their duty in getting
the vote out the result will be such a
rebuke to Fred White and the sup
porters Of Atkinson, Aguinaldo, ct al,
that they will transfer the scene Of
their labors to some more fertile field
than the loyal state of Iowa.
The demand for speakers has never
been so great as during this campaign
and the committee have had their
hands full in meeting the requests.
Fred White Once . Republican.
Hon. John Morrison Of Hedrick In
Fred Whites home county. has called
attention to the fact that the prese Mt
Democratic candidate for governor of
Iowa was at one time Republican,
and he tells in an interesting and care
fully considered manner the reasons
for his leaving that party.
It's an old story, but is Of especial
Importance at this time when Fred
White is doing his utmost to create q
race feeling against the Republican
party. 1t was back in 1874 or 1875,
and at that time, Mr.. Morrison says:
"Some Of our Republicans were talking
Of nominating him (White) for the
house of the General Assembly, and to.
help him had him put on the Fourth
of July program at Sigourney to
answer to the sentiment of Our Public
Schools"
Mr.. Morrison charges that in his
speech Mr.. White attacked the Catho-
lies in the most bitter manner i'm
aginable, closing his remarks with the
statement that their system of re-
ligion is opposed to republican form
of government and therefore they are
a dangerous element in the COM
munity."
"Uncle Jack" Morrison knows what
he is talking about when he makes
this statement in regard to Fred
Whites speech, for he spoke from the
same platform on that occasion as did
also the Rev. Father Nugent, now of
Des Moines.
OF the effects of that speech, Mr..
Morrison says: "The Republicans
dropped Fred White like hot brick
and his voice was silent for a few
! years. Then he broke out for General
Weaver and the greenback craze"
