1t will be noticed that the Tagal
newspapers of this state who have
been shedding crocodile tears over
Aguinaldo and his band of cutthrOats
nre as silent As the tomb regarding
the depredations of n mob of strikers
in an adjoining state. Several hun
dred thousand dollars went up In
flames and a number Of lives were
lost, but this was too insignificant
for editorial mention. What Is the
matter with these papers? Are the
salaried editors afraid they will an
tagonize labor organizations? Are
they playing the hypocrite and dem
agog? Has 1t come to that pass that
the press dare not condemn crime
and criminals? This silence would
lead one to believe that all labor or
CARNATIONS In this state stoodin and
upheld such outrages as those perpe-
trated in the CGur d Alenes. We do
not believe this. Decent men In every
organization know that they must
accomplish their ends by peaceful
methods. When they resort to vio-
hnce or the destruction OF property
they lose the sympathy OF the public
and should lose their cause Not all
Of the union men in the CGurd'Alenes
are bad and vicious, but those who
have committed crimes and cast
odium upon the organization should
be weeded out and left TO their just
desserts. The unions owe this to
themselves and to the public. One
abortive sheet, while not saying
much in condemnation OF the mob's
action, Is piping low about govern
ment troops being called into the
state OF Idaho. With the national
guard In the Philippines and nearly
a thousand men to contend with In
a sparsely settled mountain region
what could the civil authorities do!

This Is decidedly n nation with Il big

GEN. WHEELER ALL RIGHT.

1t would be a great mistake to say
that all Democrats are opposed to the
governments policy in the Philip
pines, at least SO far as carrying on
the war goes. Whatever may be
their views az regards the govern
ment to be established In the future,
there are plenty of men in the party
who favor whipping the Filipinos to
n standstill. They are men who place
their flag and their country ahead of
party and have ne patience with the
demagogs and ~doughfaces who are
lending aid and encouragement to the
enemy. Gen. Joe Wheeler is one such.
AT a southern reunion last week he
made Il speech which was applauded
from start to finish. Among other
things he said:
"Those upon whom rest the cares,
duties and burdens of government
have encountered no cmbarrassments
or complaints or criticism from the
southern states. Nor have their
brave volunteer regiments asked to
be returned from the fields OF active
duty, and when the requests have
come from the governors of other
commonwea this the volunteers from
the southern states have promptly
begged for the honor of filling their
places In the front of the battle.
"In one year we have risen to the
first place in the family Of nations.
To make the smallest %retrogade step
would be at the expense Of the pres
tige we have won. To return to the
starting point of one year ago would
be to lose what ii would take n rem
fury to regain.
''In answer to those who say the
policy of our forefathers forbade the
extension of territory, | would point
to Jefferson and the Louisiana pur-
chase, Monroe and Florida, Polk and
Texas and the vast territory ac-
quired from Mexico, and later to An
drew Johnson and the acquisition of
Alaska"
