Edna Woolery Laid to Rest.

The remains of Edna Woolery
were laid to rest on last Sunday.
Rev. Roberts, an Episcopal minister
of Spokane, assisted by Rev. Walker
of the Presbyterian church, conducted
the obsequies. The services were
held in the Presbyterian church and
the concourse of people who assem-
bled there to show their respect for
the departed filed the structure to
overlooking. Rev. Walker paid a
glowing tribute to the life and char
acter of the departed, commenting
her for her exemplary life and her
noble character.
Rev. Roberts followed the ritual
service of the episcopal church, both
at the church and at the grave. AS
the remains were lowered to their
last resting place, many moistened
eyes looked upon the scene.
The floral offerings were numerous,
among the list being a. large wreath
sent by her school mates.
The following beautiful lines have
been handed us for publication
Our tender bud has softly raised
And borne by gentle breeze
To bloom IN the beauty fowerland
Beyond the unknown seas.
The gentle zephyr waited her on,
Still, ON in that hour of rest,
Where now our fowerbnd sweetly sleeps
On the loving gardens breast.
We mourn and miss our Edna,
Our darling, our angel child;
But surely with God we'll trust her
With Him so sweet and mild

at rafficking in Human Souls

William ], Bryan is again going to
extremes in demagogism. In speaking
of the $2O,OO0,000 paid by the United
States to Spain to transfer her sover-
eighty in the Philippines to us, he says
that We bought 1O,OOO,OOO Malays at 50
per head, or less than we pay for hogs.
After making this ridiculous state
ment it is easy for him to assert that
souls. His knowledge of history is
meager if he does not know that the
patron saint of Democracy, Thomas
Jefferson, was the first American
President who began this policy of ex-
pansion which Bryan calls "trafflck-
ing in human souls when he order
ed the purchase OF the territory of
Louisiana with all its inhabitants
without asking their consent.
If purchasing territory with its in
habitants is buying men like you buy
hogs and is a crime, 1t has taken this
country 50 years to discover that
Thomas Jefferson committed a great
crime 1t has generally been believed
that Jefferson performed a great nat
ional service when he made the Louis

supremacy of his dictatorship. Ag-
uinaldo assumes the title of dictator of
lie Philippines, and demanded that
the United States government turnover
the reins OF government to him. He
has no more right to the government
e-ere than has any Indian chief to
govern the United States.

Filipinos the form of government that
is in accord with the provisions of the

that is not what patriot" Agulnaldc
