RETURN OF THE VOL UNrEERs

Regarding the return of the vol
unteers from the Philippines, the
Spokesman-Review has this to say
Governor Lees letter to President
Mckinley, demanding the return
from the Philippines of the South
Dakota regiment, is generally re-
pudiated by the people of that state.
A Deadwood dispatch says Lees
most intimate friends censure his
action. The general sentiment of
the Deadwood people of all parties
is against the letter."
A Mitchell dispatch says the letter
''has created great deal of unfavor-
able comment" K. H. McLa1n of
that place, who has a son in the
regiment, said: 81 do not believe
my son wants to come home so long
as there is fighting to be done. He
will stand by his country's fag.''
An Aberdeen special says: "Gov-
ernor Lees letter is severely criti-
cised on every hand. Business men
and citizens generally regard it as
foolish action on the part of the
governor"
A Yankton dispatch says: ''The
general opinion of those expressing
themselves is that the letter is IN bad
taste, and does not reflect the senti-
ment of the people of the state.''
These statements of correspondents
are reinforced by emphatic inter
views with large number of prom
anent citizens of all shades of political
belief.
Governor Rogers of this state, and
Governor Steunenberg of Idaho,
have shown the good taste and patri-
Otic spirit to decline to write to the
president demand for the return of
the volunteers of Washington and
Idaho. Governor Steunenberg takes
the sensible position that such in
reference, before any of the states
volunteers had expressed q wish to
return, would be unwarranted and
in bad taste.
While it is true the volunteers en-
listed nomlnally for the war with
Spain, and that war is ended, a fine
sense of duty tells them that their
place is at the front until other troops
can be landed and put on the firing
line.
In this connection the Minneapolis
Journal publishes vigorous cartoon.
One part of the picture presents the
governor of South Dakota in his
easy Office chair. The other shows
South Dakota volunteer on the
firing line. His face speaks courage.
Gus determination, and he is saying,
t'Who is doing this fighting anyway p
We all want to see our gallant
volunteers safe again in the heart of
the great country which gave them
birth. We are proud of their superb
courage and soldierly discipline. We
are profoundly grateful for the honors
which they have bestowed upon
western citizenship. But we want
them to return with flying flags and
sounding buglcs, and with the laurels
they have SO proudly won un-
questioned
