fairness of Mr.. Atkinson"
Mr.. Atkinson is no longer an idol.
He has come into disgrace. along with
Tom Reed, Eddy Hale, George Hoar
and other numerous members of the
republican pantheon. He has been
charged, as was the most sublime
philosopher of the ages, with the com
mission of political crime. He is cor
rupting the youth of the nation. and
must be made to drink the Socratic
hyssop.
His tracts, pamphlets and miscella-
neous pieces, heretofore held in the
highest regard and receiving the com
mendation of the profound Mckinley.

trusts, are now barred the mails, and,
like Mahomet's coffin, suspended in

You don't believe, being an Ameri-
can, that one can commit treason by be-
ing honest and telling the truth. You
are not familiar with recent develop
ments and are unacquaintcd with the
Dreyfus case. You are not aware that
n man may be thrust into outer dark
ness fer criticising the reputed head Of
the nation, as in Germany he may be
arrested and imprisoned for question

corrupt the youth of the country and

from the columns OF that wide-awake
and truthfully sensational sheet, the
Congressional Record, but no word
must be uttered against the immacu late
gentleman who rules the empire and
the illustrious coterie of Atkinsonian
economists who surround him il he
would save himself from everlasting in
fanny and disgrace.
Listen! This is the real reason, found
in his pamphlet, why "the government"

very fond of her captain for num-
Der of reasons; first, because he told
such wonderful stories: then because
his wife was not more polite, because
he had bullet in his leg and could not
get pension, and last, but not least,
because he always called her Miss Dor
othy, which seemed flattering from a
man of his age and war experience.
Mr.. Bakers love for Dorothy was
the first place, everybody loved Dor
othy, and tender-hearted old man
could prove no exception to this rule;
then she reminded him Of his lost little
girl, was n solace To him after the
stormy ways of Present Mrs. Baker,
and, finally, ii was undeniably delight
full TO an humble private to be adj
dressed as captain.
But there came sudden interruption
to this friendship one fair spring day.
The captain had taken his usual consti-
tutional within the Limits of his small
garden and was removing his rubbcrs
on the front porch-for he was careful
uidus anu diNaNS WOit OOth kdioShts
despite his cork foot, partly for appear
ance's sake, partly because he feared
lest some dampness travelling up his
cork leg might surreptitiously enter
his rheumatic system. Now the captain
being also stout man was finding
great difficulty in removing his foot
gear and was putting and laboring when
Dorothy appeared walking up the path.
"Oh, Capt Baker" she cried, "how red
your face is! Let me help you'll" and
before the GREATNESS captain could re-
monstrate she was sitting on the step
below tugging bravely at the obstinate
rubber. But for some strange reason
II was hard TO remove and Dorothy ex-
erted her strength. which was by no
means small, for final effort She
heard something snap, the captain
called, Take care!" and horror Of hor-
rors! Dorothy found herself pulling off
not merely the rubber but the boot. and
indeed the captains very leg seemed
coming toward her. With IN awful
shrek Dorothy sprang TO her feet and
fled down the garden path; she heard
Present Mrs. Baker come TO the door
and what seemed like malicious burst
OF laughter was borne after her rs she
sped up the drive TO her own homo.

commission TO any boy; she walked
straight up TO the most distinguished
person TO he seen, a great man in brass
buttons, gilt cord and gold lace. and
smiling in sweet consciousness offered
him the flowers.
If you please, should like 70 have
these flowers put on Capt. Bakers
grave" she said.
The man smiled back into the wide,
brown eyes below the lowered hat
brim. "And who was Capt. Baker, my
little LADY," he asked. graciously.
Dorothy did not notice the change of
tense. Hes great friend of mine,"
she said. in happy pride, "and he lives
right near my house"
The gentleman stared at her in
amazement. why, / thought you
wanted TO put these flowers on his
grave?" he exclaimed.
"Oh, yes" Dorothy FASTENED TO ex-
plain, "but not on the grave of the
whole of him: he only lost part OF him
in the war. ! thought IL you remem-
bcred the people that were all killed
you ought to remember the others that
were some killed. wanted you to put
these flowers on his legs grave"
The gentleman was smelling the
flowers and did not answer at once.
"You see," Dorothy eagerly went on,
'he's quite an old man, and he couldn't
be a farmer after he had cork"-a
bitter memory returncd-"a cork leg,
and they didn't even give him PEN
sion. and they ought to. for he's very
nice man, and needs ii more than lots

The gentleman lifted his face from
the flowers now. But where is his leg
buried ?" he asked.
Dorothy looked disappointed. II

"Why. Dorothy" said her fathers
voice behind, "whcre did you come
from?" Then Dorothy gave him her
mothers message. and when the gen.
tlcman said he was coming to her house
after the celebration and would talk
about the captain and his pension, Dor
othy rode home in very contented
frame Of mind.

In many other ways the correspond
ents' legitimate freedom of expression
is hampered and the Philippine news
service interfered with. The develop
ment is new in American history-it
seems to be a consistent phase of inn
perialism and militarism, of wars of ag-
gression and conquest waged in distant
lands. The iron hand of the profession
al soldier is felt in way that is full OF
menace to the best interests of a great
and peace-loving republic. "Iwant You
to understand" said the American CEN
sor in the Philippines. that this is .
military despotism. We do not recog-
nizc that anyone except the army has
any rights"
When the people of the United States
learn the full facts of army autocracy
in the Philippines the sentiment against
imperialism will crystalline into sudden
and most material substance. The peril
Of military dominance has been swift
TO show itself in the far east. 1t will
be promptly recognized by the people.
They will see to it that the necessary
correction is administered. Under q
republican form of government there
are many other interests besides "tho
army" which have rights that must be
respected. The public press, always the
safeguard and the informant of the peo-
pie, is one of these intercsts.-St Louis

EDWARD ATKINsoN's CRIME
Why the Administration Iins 81
fenced the Erstvh lille Re9ub-
Iican Philosopher.

For many years the American public
has been familiar with the name OF Id
ward Atkinson. Edward has been, from
early childhood, a stanch republican.
In his early manhood he established a
reputation as a statistician. What Null
hall has been TO England Atkinson has
been TO America, in slightly different
sense. Mulhall is a statistician who
gathers statistics and complies figures
for the entire world. lie covers every
land and cline and publishes them for
what they are worth. Atkinson is a sta
tistician, too, who has compiled col
umns upon columns of figures TO show
that the republican party was the great
est political party that ever existed in
the tide of times. That under its be-
neficent rule men did not need money,
clothing, food nor any Of the etceteras
Of civilization.
The average man could not under
stand, according to Mr.. Atkinson, when
be was well off, and was an uncivilized
ass If he could not live luxuriously on
a pint of kerosene. "A tin stove and so
cents a week. Mulhall was a vulgar
mathematical historian who compiled
figures to illustrate existent facts. Mr..
Atkinson was a mathematical philoso-
pher who would lead the world past the
antiquated systems of Aristotle and Ba-
con, to the fields Of Elysian economy
that would enable the poor TO become
rich and the rich to place an honest
penny in a rainy day stocking.
Mr.. Atkinson was hailed as the solver
of great national problem and the de-
liverer of a nation. His praises were
sounded from east TO west, from north
TO south. On the highway, from Dan
20 Beersheba, travellers told of his phi

deal for me, and ought TO be very
thankful"
"Oh. yes. Of course" Dorothy re-
sponded, in quick sympathy. i think
she seems very fond of'-she hesitated
-"of talking"
A sudden twinkle came into the cap
tain's gentle eyes. but he heard step
in the hallway and hastily changed the
topic of conversation.
Il hope you'll come and see me real
often; ! git kinder lonesome some
times" he said, and Dorothy, who had
also heard the step, rose hastily TO go.
"Yes, III come and see YOU" sho
said, nodding brightly at him. "Mam-
ma said you couldn't walk very far, SO
III try and come most every day" A
prompt acceptance of all invitations
was one Of Dorothy's marked charac-
teristics.
Mrs. Baker stood in the doorway and
Dorothy turned upon the lowest step
TO say in her sweet voice: 'Good-by,
Present Mrs. Baker" then lightly went
down the walk. leaving to the captain
the demanded explanation of his wife's
new title.

nounccd at luncheon, for at luncheon
Dorothy had conversational right of
way: at dinner time il was different.
Hes an old soldier and he's got rheu-
matism in one leg and bullet in the
other. but he's very pleasant and he
wants me TO come and see him every
day. Once he had little girl he loved
very much, and he says she looked like
me. Her picture isn't very pretty and
her hairs done up in funny little
braids. but he says she was a very nice
little girl, so of course I'm glad look
like her. He's got a wife, too, the Pres

nent. "and she's rather-rathcr ex-

like it cause the captain doesn't get

She burst into the reception room and

wife's glad, cause she'd get the pension
money ii he should die. Oh, my dear,
dear captain. don't let me kill him.
Oh. send for the doctor. do send for
the DOCTOR" And Dorothy's words
ended in "A long crescendo wall.
1t was some time before explanations
could be given. and Dorothy ceased her
cries and understood that the captain
had lost his own leg in the war and now
had n cork leg, which was strapped
on every morning and taken of every
night and that perhaps the strap was
old and broken and Dorothy's sudden
tug had loosened or broken it.
1t was supposed she would soon run
smiling over To call on the captain, but
for some time Dorothy neither visited
nor spoke of him. When she went by
his house and saw him in the garden
or on the porch she would nod and
smile gravely. but she no longer socially
trippod up the path and seated herself
Familiarity on the steps.
But as the soldiers day drew near,
Dorothy felt as though there must be
reconciliation between herself and
her captain friend. Decoration day,
as a rule, was not made much OF III this
small town. But this year was 10 he
more impressive. a dignitary from
Washington, who CHANGED to be visiting
near, was TO make an open-air speech by
the soldiers monument, and since he
was afterward TO be entertained AT Dor
othy's home there was much said about
the coming celebration.
OF late Dorothy had not had her usual
conversational opportunity at lunch
con, so that il was rather difficult for
her to accomplish her desire to carry
the flowers she had picked TO the town
hall, where they might be taken IN
charge by the committee. But on Dec
Grafton day. at the last moment before
the procession started for the Gem
ctcry, her mother sent Dorothy with a
message TO her father at the hall. and
Dorothy seized this opportunity 70 take
her great bunch Of apple blossoms and
garden japonica in the carriage with
her. There was much hustle when she
reached the hall; boys were r ming
hither and thither and men were look
