OUR MUCH ABUSED SOLDIERS,

General Funston makes an energetic
response to the Pecksnlfis who have
been sighing over the sufferings OF our
soldiers. which they ascribe to hurried
preparations and neglect. He says:
We hear talk about mismanagement
in the Philippines. and those who are
doirg the talking know the least about
it. want to tell you today that our
army over there is better clothed,
better fed and better cared for than
any army THAI ever fought in any
country under any flag.
This is hot shot from the firing line,
for the fellows who fire from the rear,
and it is followed by another dis
charge that is equally effective
The hospital arrangements there are
so perfect that within two or three
hours after man Is shot, especially
if along the railroad he is delivered
10 the hospital in Manila Out OF 1900
wounded men sent to that hospital not
a single primary amputation was per-
formed. and but three cases OF ultimate
amputation. During the civil war al
least SO men among the 1900 would
have been subjected to amputation
and rendered permanent cripples. This
is an important fact to bear in mind
in face Of irresponsible criticism Of
the campaign
The public will judge between the
witnesses. On the one hand is a gal
liant officer who won promotion by re-
pea;ed acts Of heroism and who is per-
sonally conversant with the situation.
on the other hand are a few sensa. I
tional newspapers published thousands
of miles from the scene and a Saving
remnant Of superior persons who hold
themselves studiously aloof at the
same safe distance. AS the general
in;imates. both classes OF protestants
are not only irresponsible but ignorant 1
as well. The active men at the front
appraise their sympathy at its real
worth and reject it with the scorn
that it deserves.
The campaign which was begun in
the hope that the returning soldiers
would HE themselves to the cave of
is now so thoroughly dlscred-
tied that the enemies OF the admin
is,ration must make fresh start. They
might hold the government to blame
for tine surplus OF fog and deficit Of

II has been argued that man in

engaged In commerce would derive
considerable strength and confidence
from the fact that their interests were

A newspaper that tries simply to
please every body is sure to please no
one. 1t loses the respect of even those
to whom it caters. 1t is the duty Of a
paper to advance the interests OF the
community whose patronage supports
it, and this duty involves the speak
ing, al times, OF unpleasant truths.
The task is often a thankless one, but a
newspaper, with the real function Of
the press in view, does not look for
thanks. No one appreciates apprecia-
ton more than an editor, and no one
does his duty day by day and year by
year with less encouragement than the
average newspaper editor.
