States at present on Philip
L. pine soil are probably no
better and no worse than the
average citizenship Of the country they
represent We dare say there are
scoundrels among them; men with
hazy ideas about property rights; men
who drink more liquor than Is good for
them, and also men who do not behave
as they should where women are con-
cerned. This Is true out Of the army
as we'll as in 1t and Is to be regretted
wherever it applies.
But the occasional presence of such
men in the army does not warrant the
sweeping condemnation of the whole
army by calling it's membership
"drunkards, robbers and ravishers." as
one of Bryan's chief fuglemen, John
Dewitt Warner, called it the other
night, or by contemptuous reference to
the soldiers as "$15-a-month hirelings,"
sneer perpetrated by Mr.. Bryan's
bosom friend, Governor Poynter, Of
Nebraska
Our soldiers in the Philippines have
been sent out there to uphold the SOW
ereignty established by the Paris treaty
which Bryan helped to make the
supreme law Of the land. In the dis
charge Of their duty they are imperil-
very lives. Many who went will never
come back. Many others, who went in
the vigor of robust manhood, will re-
turn crippled or broken in health. Very
few will profit financially by the ex-
cursion unless after peace is established
grow UP with the country. For their
hard work. involving all kinds Of ex-
posure and danger, they are by no
means overpaid; and it therefore is
mighty mean and contemplate type Of
citizenship which. back here in the
comfort and safety Of home, out of
range Of bullets and bacteria, proceeds
to reward these absent servants Of the
republic by means Of SANDER and
abuse.
John Dewitt Warner would not make
this charge face to face before one of
the accused. Neither would Bryan's
friend Poynter, the blatherskite Fusion
ist. If either dared to utter his filthy
SANDER in front Of returned soldier
he would get well-merited kick. But
in Democratic livery, on the Demo-
cratic stump, these back-biting de-
famers of the soldiers are emboldened
and simply carry into its ultimate
meaning the logic Of Bryans flag-furl-
ing programme.

Il favor of the reelection of
John Copeland for prothono-

comes from a portion of the county
which deserves it and he is an active
and loyal worker in a party which
deserves it.
Every person whose business in
court has required visitation at the
prothonotary's Office stands ready to
testify to the personal deserving of
John Copeland. Quiet, modest, unas-
suming. he yet keeps a vigilant eye
upon every detail of the office he ad-
ministers and is prompt to assist and
to oblige. To every inquiry he is
ready with courteous reply and moth
ing which he can properly do to facil-
itatc research among records or t.
expedite investigation of papers is left
undone by him. He is kindness per-
sonited.
Moreover, the Republicanlsm of Car
bondale, which he represents upon this
years party ticket. Is fairly entitled
to continuation of recognition in the
distribution of the county offices. This
year it Is united and enthusiastic and
unless all signs fail will return a splen-
did vote for the entire ticket. It be-
comes Republicans elsewhere to recip-
rocate this kindly feeling and it can
not be more appropriately done than
by means " a rousing vote for Cone
land.
The unanimity of his denomination
attested the cordiality which the people
feel for him. Let this be again shown
