COOLIES INSTEAD OF MULES

AS q result of reports received at the
war department. from the chief quarter
master and commissary officers in the
field in the Philippines, it has been de
cided by the Washington authorities
not to send for the present any ship
ment of horses and mules to Manila
Instructions have been forwarded to
the chief quartermaster officer ap.
proving of the employment of Chinese
coolies and the proposal to organize a
coolie corps.
The idea of the coolie corps is not a
new one. The British in their recent
operations aboYe Hong Kong, employed
Chinese carriers and, according to
the leading British officers had coolie
corps been organized for the Abassinia,
Ashantee and Nile campaigns humid
reds of thousands of pounds would
have been saved.
In the limited capacity in which
Chirese have been employed to date il
General Otis army the quartermaster
officers find that Chinaman will carry
about half mules LOAD. The cost o
feeding the Chinaman is less bulky.
Furthermore, not only is the cost OF
getting the Chinaman to the scene OF
Operations small compared with tha..
of mule, but the Chinaman can be
easily replaced and his loss represents
no pecuniary damage.
The quartermaster officers report
under the approval of General O;is,
that in their opinion the proposed
coolie corps will not be kept recruited
to its full strength. There are large
numbers of Chinese in the Philippines
even now, and in the recent fighting
Chinese coolies have attended to the
waits of the wounded and in many
ways have proved of valuable assist.

The last Oregon legislature passed a
strict law for the purpose of abolisbing g
slot achines. but it Is being ignored
There is also strict gam bling law on
the statute books, making it mis-
demeanor to gamble or even to rent
a building in which gam bling is per-
mttted yet it is seldom enforced. In
fact it cannot be enforced successfully
Then why should such laws exist?
That gambling is an EVIL every one
admits. but since it is not suppressed
by the enforcement of laws. Why should
it not be licensed and made pay for
supporting local governmen? If
heavy license were placed on gamb-
ling houses and gambling devices
there would be fewer of them, and
whas remained would help pay for the
trouble they create.

A guilty conscience and fear OF
punishment has driven the leaders of
the Wardner riot out of the state OF
Idaho. The fact of their getting away
is evidence against them and should
encourage the authorities to be that
much more diligent in hunting them
down. Their crime is an unexcusaple
one and until they are brought to JUS
tice there will be blot on the name
of Idaho that will drive law abiding
citizens away.

There is no suspension of hostllitles

Filipinos have sued for a suspension
of fighting while they can assemble
their people and learn if they want to
accept the terms OF peace proposed by

ministration propose to do with those
people anyway? Will it go on killing
them like dogs. just because it has

A good many bad things are said

A good many bad things are said
about the United States senate, and
justly too, for that body is becoming d
congregation of autocrats. but the
harshest thing lately uttered comes
from the lips of Senator Chandler. of
New Hampshire, when he said: Most
of Us (meaning the senators) sympa-
thize with Quay on account of the
prosecutions to which he has been
subjected both in the senate and priv
ate life. and we would like very much
to have him with Us oLce again"
Then he goes on to say. because of
this sympathy, he believes Quay will
be seated. The New Hampshire sepl-
tor would thus make i. APPEAR that the
action of the senate will not be actuated
by law, justice or precedent, brit by
sympathy, and thai for a man like
Quay If the senate las come to this
