When one contemplates the aggregate
of the misery and sorrow this policy in
wolves it is startling, overwhelming. This
is the time of all others when the laws
should be most literally interpreted. when
those charged with their execution should
go to the limit of the letter in granting
relief, for the beneficiaries are now in their
sorest straits. To withhold relief now is
aggravated cruelty. for the Withholding
means actual deprivation Of vital neces-
saries of food, medicine, shelter, and
warmth to men and women who can turn
nowhere than to their scanty pensions for
them.

sponsibility TO seek public notoriety as

The most important change that this
will make will be on the Finance Com

The present program is to put two Golt

AS a purely military achievement we
should much like to see our troops capture
Aguinaldo. 1t would be a triumph such
as they richly deserve by their magnificent
chase over a most difficult country, to
which they were strangers, and which
abounded in all manner of discourage
ments and obstacles. But as a matter of
policy it might be better to let Aguinaldo
slip off into some inlet, steal a small boat
and put to sea. Whether he made his way
across the long stretch to Hong Kong, OF
some mainland, or got swamped en- route,
would not so much matter. If he sur
vived the voyage he would not dare to re-
tiIryl to Manila for fear of what might be
done. His influence among the Tagals
is probably destroyed beyond recovery
anyway. If, on the other hand, he is capt
ured, the Aunties will throw different kind

pines than the proper disposition of the
willy little rascal who has made so much
trouble. He has shown so far suci re.
markable ability in keeping himself away
from actual danger that there is little hope
that he may get his head blown off in one
of the final skirmishes, which would be a
happy solution of the problem.
