How We "Ohristianize" Them.

The goody -goody church people of
the ultra Mckinley stamp, who are
glorying in the work of Slaughter going
on in the PHILIPPINE islands, must have
queer notions of the meaning of "chris-
tianization." Many lettes from
Manila tell of our soldiers shooting
the niggers to see them jump" moving
yellow-bellies down like grass" prick
ing them off like quail" etc.
It seems also that the most brutal
methods are praticed against the
wounded enemy and prisoners. One
soldier writes; 1--WE take no prisoners
when on the advance-you know what
that means" And what THAT means,
is, that like England in her battles with
savage tribes, the wounded are dispatch
ed with shot, knife thrust, or cut from
a sabre.
Chas. Bremen of Minneapolis, Kans.,
writes letter home, which was last
week published in the Kansas City

ed them up into line time after time,
and finally sent Captain Bishop back

hardest sight I ever saw. They had
four prisoners and diden't know what
to do with them. They asked Captain
Bishop what to do and he said, "You
know the ORDERS" and four natives fell
dead. Then the line moved on through
the city three quarters of mile in adj
vance. 1t was fine shooting, as it was
open ground, and We picked them off
like quail"

Treason Among The Volunteers.

As only Z per cent. of the volun-
teers in the PHILIPPINES are willing to
re-enlist we may conclude-using
imperial logic-that most of the SOL
diers there are traitors.
This tratorious disposition is very
conspicuous in letter from Neb-
raska boy to his father. 1--WE came
here to help, not to slaughter these
natives; to fight the oppressor, Spain,
not the oppressed" he writes. 'It
strikes me as not very fair to pursue
q policy that leads to this insurreetion
and then keep us volunteers out here
to fight battles we never enlisted for.
I cannot see that we are fighting for
any principle now"
Letters of this kind are finding
their way into print in increasing
numbers, Our imperialistic friends
should not toss them by unheeded.
The logic which makes such utter
ances reasonable may be unconse-
auental, but that shouldn't feaze the
