congress and the people have provided
to cause this unprovoked and wasteful
insurrection to cease. If any orders of
mine were required to insure the merci-
full conduct of military and naval opera
tons, they would not be lacking; but
every step of the progress of our troops
has been marked by humanity which
has surprised even the misguided in
surgents. The truest kindness to them
will be swift and effective defeat of
their present leader. The hour of victory
will be the hour of clemency and recon-
struction.
No effort will be spared to build up the
waste places desolated by war and by
long years of misgovernment. We Shall
not wait for the end of strife to begin the
beneficent work. We shall continue, as
we have begun, to open the schools and
the churches, to set the courts in opera
ton, to foster industry and trade and
agriculture, and in every way in our
power to make these people whom
Providence has brought within our juris-
diction feel that it is their liberty aud not
our power, their welfare and not our
gain, we are seeking to enhance. Our
flag has never waved over any communi-
ty but in blessing. I believe the Fill
pinos will soon recognize the fact that it
has not lost its gift Of benediction in its
worldwide journey to their shores.

NE. BRYAN's WORD FOR IT.

"lf there is any one who believes the
gold standard is good thing, or that it
must be maintained, warn him not to
cast his vote tor me, because l promise
him it will not be maintained in this
coa,atry longer than am able to get rid
of it."
This language was used by Hon. Will
liam Jennings Bryan in speech at Knox
Vile, Tenn, on Sept. 16. 1896.
1t will be noticed that Mr.. Bryan does
not want the vote of "any one who be-
lieves the gold standard IS a good thing
Car any one believe otherwise after wit.
Messing orr sound business and financial
prosperity since the gold standard law
has been enacted?
Mr.. Bryan made 'promise" to the
american voters that the gold standard
law Twill not be maintained in this coun-
Try longer than am (he is) able to get
rid of it." The election OF Mr.. Bryan to
TIE presidency wou'9. therefore, be inn
naediately followed by attacks upon the
financial integrity of the United States
and of every individual citizen. The re-
suit would be repetition of the business
panic and disaster that we experienced
during the last democratic administration.

that 16 to l is not an issue in this-cam-

M ERE SENTIMENT.
Why does man enlist for soldiers

Why does a man enlist for soldier?
Because he is too lazy to work. A
soldiers life is lite bereft of care. He
gets his clothes, house room. food, free
and without need of forethought on his
part. Men are paid to see that he has
all these things and that he is kept in
good health. Besides that he gets thir-
teen dollars month. He has no social
bonds or duties. His hardest labor is to
keep himself and surroundings clean.
OF course he has to take care of and
carry musket and two or three times a
week spend a couple Of hours walking
back and forth on guard duty. But al
together his work is only about sufficient
TO keep him in health and appetite. 1t is
almost an ideallic existence. No care,
no worry, plenty to eat, drink and wear.
Surely the soldier is far better off than at
least the ordinary laborer who earns
daily wages by the sweat of his brow.
Surely he is better circumstances than
the merchant who stands behind the
counter fourteen hours day and spends
sleepless nights in trying to avert inn
pending bankrutcy. 1t is certainly far
more satisfactory life than planting wheat
for drouth to ruin and hail TO destroy.
And then there is the beautiful uniforms
and the bugles and the drums and the
bands, the splendid holiday pageant Of
:it all. Really with all these attractions
and environments, it seems as though
every ordinary, able bodied man would
enlist AZ the first portunity and for life
Why don't theyl Well, I, in spite Of the
above, descsipt tIon yhichis a fair sample

Sow Thistle.

A peculiar thistle has been for several
years spreading around this locality. 1t
has large dark green leaves somewhat
similar iii form to dandelions, and small
thorns on the edges. Its blossom is yell
low. Mr.. Cavileer sent specimen to
the Agricultural College at Fargo, with
an inquiry for the name, and received the
following reply:
Dear Sr:-The thistle that you sent
to the College is at hand. 1t is known as
the SOW thistle, milk thistle, hare's let
tuce, swinies, etc. The scientific name
Of the plant is Sonchus cleraceus. 1t is
naturalized in this country and is found
distributed IN nearly all portions of the
globe. It's bad weed as you say, but
l believe you are mistaken in regard to
the plant that you send, at least in its
coming up in the spring from the roots
of the year before. The plant that you
send is an annual, that is, it comes each
year from the seed, and in the fall dies
out altogether. There is another plant
closely related to this, Sonchus arvensis,
which grows from the roots each spring.
and this, as we'll as the plant you send
may be common around there, as it ISL
found in northern Minnesota. If there
.S.re any yip!ants there similar to this one,
with deep running roots similar to the
ca1ada thistle, we will be glad to receive
the sample. The plant that you send
when young, is used as salad and
greens, SO that you are correct in think
ing that it might be used for food.
Thank you very much for sending the
plant. 1t is the first time that we have
seen any in this state. L. r. WALDRoN.

Senator Hanna told little story in Z

Senator Hanna told little story in a
speech the other day the political moral
of which is too obvious to need detail
The story is as follows: A farmer boy
was driving a COW and her calf home.
On the road they met steer. The calf
insisted on following the steer in
spite OF the boys efforts. After chasing
the animals until he was tired out, in his
chagrin and rage the boy shook his fist
at the retreating calf and shouted, "You
darn fool calf; you'll be sorry when sup
per time comes!"

"IuE ISLANDS LIE UNDER THE
SHELTER OF OUR FLAG"
;idenl Mckinley 1899.

President Mckinley 1899.
The future government of the Philip,
pines rests with the congress of the
United States. Few graver responsible
ties have ever been confided to us. II
we ..ccept them in spirit worth of our
race and our traditions, a great oppor-
tunity comes with them. The islands
lie under the shelter of our flag. They
are ours by every title of law and equity.
They can not be abandoned. If we de-
sert them we leave them at once to ana--
chy and finally.to barbarism. We fling
them, golden apple of discord. among
the rival powers, no one of which could
permit another to seize them unquestion-
ed. Their fich plains and valleys would
be the scene of endless strife and blood
shed. The advent of Dewey's fleet in
Manila Bay instead Of being, as we hope,
the dawn ola new day of freedom and
progress, will have been the beginning of
an era of misery and violence worse than
any which has darkened their unhappy
past. The suggestion has been made
that we could renounce our authority
over the islands and, giving them inde-
pendence, could retain protectorate
over, them. This proposition will not be
found, am sure, worthy of our serious
attention. Such an arrangement would
involve at the outset cruel breach Of
faith. 1t would place the peaceable and
loyal majority, who ask nothing better
than to accept our authority, at the
mercy of the minority of armed insurg-
ents. Itwould make us responsible for
the acts Of the insurgent leaders and give
us no power to control them.

soldiers lives, there is something more
to be taken into consideration when one
enlists in the service ofthe United States.
We need not try to explain to these
persons what that something more is. It
is largely sentiment, and these persons
are not sentimental, and they smile in
scorn at the idea Of "a soldier having any
sentiment. And they honestly believe
that men every day leave good positions,
enter ,,.e service and ask ier details to
the Philippines or chira where fever, and
sickness and shot aud shell are plenty
for :hiltsen dollars nlo.-i!l.
10 wonder these persons wl,o have no
sentiment, and who believe soldiers
have no sentiment, ars amid oi too
much "militarism," If tie American
solder was the kind Of soldier they seem
TO think he is, ME hlreling who
works for board, clothing and thirteen
dollars a month, tl,en these persons
might we'll fear large standing army.
Any army made of such characters, with
o,it the sentiment of patriotism, without
thai sentiment that pou-s out its blood in
defense Of he flag would be useless
body as all army, and dangerous to the
public peace on general principles. The
only body of men that united as an army
on the principle that -, :, ,crnment was
bound to support t'1ar1, marched to
Washington several y % under the
lead OF General Coxsy. That kind OF
army simply marched for itself and had
no thought for the rest of the country
except that the rest of the country was
bound to support it.
If anyone believes that the soldiers
of the United States s.i.,y are inspired by
the same motives as the army Of General
Coxey. simply to get living off the
government, he should logically and
earnestly oppose all efforts for any expan
sion OF s""h "militarism."
Really this whole business is largely q
matter of mere sentiment. Some people
have sentiment, and to others sentiment
is pure bosh.
