II is becoming self evident that
the Democrats arc not a unit in
opposing expansion. especially IN
the South does this dissension from
Bryan's avowed policy crop out
boldly. Clark Howells, Democratic
National CoMmitteemanfrom Geor-
gin, has recently stated that TIE
South stands with the administra-
ton on the Philippine policy and
Cuban question. Senator Morgan,
of Alabama has just said that he
doubted the wisdom of nominating
Bryan for President. and could
not endorse the lattcrs attitude
on the Philippines. Ex-senator
Reagan, Of Texas, who, by the
way. was a mcmbcr of jeff Davis
cabinet, in a recent interview said
the Democratic party could not
consistently set itself against nation
al growth as in the past its policy
had always been that of expansion.
Mr.. Reagan gave it out cold that
Bryan and his followers are now
occupying the same ground on
which the old Wing party stood
when it fought national growth
while the Democrats were the ex-
pansion party. Howells, Morgan
and Reagan, are heretics, Of
course, since they will not accept
the Democracy of Bryan instead Of
the Democracy they grew up in.

Disproved BY Figures.

Stories Of mismanagement in
Luzop and of general sickness and
disability among the volunteers
are decidedly not supported by the
condition Of the Oregon regiment
which is the first to return. Other
regiments will arrive in a few
days, and the same tests will be
applied, no doubt with similar re-
suits. The Oregon regiment has
had totaliof ifty-six officers and
1916 enlisted men. 1t brings back
an aggregate Of 11O4. A number
were previously discharged, and
two deserted. Only SO per cent
were killed in battle and died of
wounds or disease. Hard service
unquestionably, was the lot of the
regiment after hostilities with the
Tagals began in February last.
Through the jungles and swamps
the Oregonians pressed on with
the rest of the army. They charg
cd and carried the encmy's trenches
repeatedly; and marched daily I'M
der tropical sun. They passed
one summer and a half of another
in a region only fifteen degrees
from the equator. Yet they come
back at the end of more than a
year with 1lO4 men. In no pre-
vious war has a regiment Of the
United States made so favorable a
record.
In these figures can be read the
assurance that the volunteers sent
to the Philippines have been well
fed, properly clothed, sheltered
and cared for when sick. Fair
minded persons will give credit
that is due. The British army
lost in one years operations in
the Crimea 2O,656 men. and IS
per cent of the number pcrishcd
from disease. War is an unccr-
tain thing, ana foreign expeditions
as a rule, have been costly in life.
When the summary is made up of
the returning volunteers, it will
be seen that they have Jared better
than any ether force Of the same
kind in all history. This is an
achievement that ought to receive
some attention from the fault find
ing element, but it is not the ma
ture of the snarlcr to recognize
merit under any circumstances.
The administration has been splen-
didly successful in preserving the
lives and health of the regiments in
Luzon, and the fact lis established
in a form too clear to be denied.

The Democratic National Com

The Democratic National Com
mittee met in Chicago last week
and put itself through the process
Of purification and dcodorization(D
by kicking out the Populist and
Free SILVER Republican auxiliary
committees. The National Com

said to be ''purely'' Democratic.

1t is well to occasionally revert
to the fact that when the Rcpubli
cans came into power in Missouri,
in 1868, they found a State debt of
over $50, 100000. They remained
in power about five years, during
which time they paid Off over Sl5,-
900, 900 of this Indebtedness. Al
ter nearly thirty years Of Demo-
cratic rule the State debt is still
about $1,000, 900. In all that
time they paid off less by several
millions than the Republicans paid
in five years. The amount of tax
es collected to pay off the debt,
however. would have done so years
ago, but nobody can tell where the
money went.-Poplar Bluff Re
