Cincinnati, Sept. 2. 2.-There has been
considerable comment over Editor

Economic club, on the Philippines.
After the lecture Mr. Halstead was
piled with questions, and one man said:
Il hope Otis viii be kept in and will
keep on laundering till he and the
whole army are driven into the sea or
captured"
Mr. Halstead promptly replied: "a
man with those sentiments is traitor
to his country
Several men jumped up and remarked
that two thirds Of the audience felt as
did their fellow member, whereupon
Mr.. Halstcad replied; Whoever
thinks that way is traitor. There
was a rush of maddened men with
raised fists toward Mr. Haistead, but
the advice of cooler heads prevailed
and no blood was spilled, though chairs
and seats were upset, and for few
moments it looked as though there
would be a riot.
