THE SOLDIER NOT THE BEST
JUDGE.

A returned member of Company E.
Signal Corps. now serving in the Phil
ippines. writes to the Chicago Record
to contradict a soldier who said in a
letter home: This war has made more
Democrats than any one is aware Of"
The Records correspondent says:
II have been in the regular service
Tor the last five years. the last two OF
which have been spent in the Philip
pines. know many soldiers who went
there as Democrats who are now
against Bryan and the policy of the
Democratic party, and who would vote
to sustain the present Administration
were the opportunity offered. I failed
to note single instance in which Il
Republican changed his views While
over there"
AS between the two deponents we
make no prctcnse of knowing which is
right. 1t does not seem TO us that 1t
matters very greatly, having been OF
the opinion all along that entirely too
much emphasis was being laid upon
the views of soldiers as 10 the rights
and wrongs of the war in the Philip
pines.
With all possible respect for the
brave men and officers who make up
our Philippine forces, we submit that
they are not the best judges as to the
duty OF this nation in the premises. 1t
would be strange, indeed. If the man
w-fro- rs III tIe thick OF the fight were
found to he the best judge as to the
merits of It. only a very remarkable
man would be able TO see both sides
of the question
1t is the citizen. not the soldier. who
IS the best judge rs to the proper
course for his country to pursue. The
art and practice OF war do not develop
nice regard for the rights OF others
nor promote calm and profound reflec-
ton as to the justice or injustice of a
quarrel. From the nature of the case
the opinion of the soldier in the Philip
pine Is worth very little as a guide to
the citizen at home in arriving at n
Just conclusion es to the war and the
merits of It, The soldier who is home
sick, weary of fighting, disgusted with
the climate and the interminable chase
after the agile foe, is apt TO relieve his
feelings by crying out against the war.
The soldier who likes var. who prefers
active service, who is ambitious of pro-
motion, VIII be sure to feel that we
have our quarrel just. In short his
personal experiences. ambitions and de-
sires, and not the merits of the ques-
stion, will Influence his views of the
war.
According to all experience In pre-
Sious wars we should expect the Amer
fcan soldier in the Philippines to be
in favor OF a continuance OF the war.
After shooting at u Filipino for a.
couple OF years because +he Filipino
wants to be free. the soldier IS not apt
to turn around and vote to give that
Filipino freedom. He would prefer TO
give him his quiotus. or the larger
questions involved the soldier knows
little and cares less. 1t is not his bus
tness to think, but to obey orders. His
orders mean that the war is right that
conquest is right. that the slaughter of
whoever opposes him in the field is
right He Is under mental d,ro.e

The excellent picture of Hon. H. L..
Maynard. Democratic candidate for
Congress. published in yesterdays vir-
ginian-y Pilot. was borrowed from the
Portsmouth Star. The manager of that
sprightly newspaper had the precedence
to provide a cut of the face of the
winning candidate. The Virginian-
Pilot profited by his forethought and
then enjoyed the courtesy in the use
of the cut.
