A PATHETIC STORY.

Some very pathetic stories are being
written now about the poor soldier in
the Philippines and about the tender
heart of the president. Here is one that
is touching enough to melt even the
heart Of an imperialist:
Always of tender heart, the president
is much moved day by day by appeals
of parents to have their soldier boys
sent home from the Philippines. The
death of Mrs. McKinley's nephew,
James Barber, has brought home to the
president the anxiety of those whose
sons are suffering in far-away possess
sions. Some tales told at the white
house are affecting, pathetic and ro-
mantle in tinge. Only this week the
president was asked to bring home a
gallant young officer whose mothers
heart is breaking to see him. The
young soldier has been sick. Pictures
of him sent home indicate the deadly
malaria and fever of that climate. And
then in a far-off state a young girls
heart is breaking. For seven years she
has been affianced to this young trooper.
He was to have married when gradu-
ated from West Point, but war came on
and he went TO the field instead of the
altar. No wonder these appeals touch
the presidents heart deeply, and when
he can do so he finds a way to let the
worthy soldier boys come back, that
their lives and health may be spared
and that aching hearts at home may be
eased Of sorrow.
That soldier and all Of the others
ought to come home. There is way to
make their home coming possible. Say
to the Filipinos that when government
has been established for them. they
shall control 1t, under the protection
OF the United States. The war win end
right there and the kind hearted presi-
dent, who is SO deeply moved because Of
the close proximity OF death to his
own family, can have his printed wish
sratified. There is a general suspicion
that the war is the administrators
own making. Let the administration
end it as indicated, without further
bloodshed.

garette. So far as can be discovered
from the signed statement of their
manager they now challenge the Canton
team to game of parlor croquet, 20
minutes for the first half a dollar and
indoor croquet 20 minutes for 80 cents
more, or something of that sort. And
they have written to Pa for the money,
too.
The Shriver run sewer argument
played a one-night stand.
1t was stated in this column, when
the new game law went into effect, that
the opportunity for the game warden
to make arrests and thus secure very
considerable rake-off, was at hand. 1t
was also stated that the written per-
init would not affect the farmer so fa-
vorably as it would the game warden.
Here Is a statement which Game War
den Dangeleisen makes in the Massillon
Independent, with reference to parties
whom he has arrested, though they
had verbal permission to hunt on GER
tain property:
"The law says all hunters must have
written permits from the owner or ten
ant of the land, and the verbal per-
mission will not go. The hunter might
as well have no permission at all as
to have II in verbal form. / am sat
isfied that I can obtain a conviction
under the law even IL verbal permission
has been obtained"
Here Is ample proof that what the
News-Democrat said about the new law
is fact. The law does not seem to be
fashioned so much for the land owner
as for the game warden. in this in
stance. And the game warden, by his
own confession, is operating on tech
nicality. 1t follows that II man could
get a verbal permit he could get writ
ten permit, and the intent to break the
law is wholly absent. The game war
den, however, is not proceeding against
the hunter that is encroaching on the
property and preserves of another, with
neither verbal nor written consent, but
is operating to convict on a technicality
in the instances, at least, that he re-
lates. OF course 1t Is legal enough, but
that Is not the question. Does 1t offer
further protection to game? The law is
vicious.

spiendid welcome and are made 70 feel
that their cause is Just. How 10 II with
the United States, the greatest Of all re-
publics? What has this republic done
for other republics? The question Is
easily answered in the events Of the
las. Few years. A Wal W.. wase6 to
give a people their freedom, but in the
result Is equally as bad serfdom as
that suffered before. Not a single per-
son that the United States started out
to free has been freed. Even Cuba is
not free and there is a strong suspicion
that she never will be. At least no
republic there.

freedom, the French government did all

shall forget the great services and the
great sacrifices Of Lafayette2 His acts
should have taught the present admins
tration how to treat people who are
struggling for liberty. But the lesson
has not been learned. Imperialism
seems to have taken it's hold on the
administration. The greatest republic
in the world one that has not had
monarchisl history for more than hun
dred years, must bow before the younger
republic of France, in the love of lib

There is still some speculation as to
the future action of William J. Bryan,
in politics. That his voice will be
heard for Democracy is not questioned,
but how active a part he will take is
problematical. Chairman James X.
jones, of the national committee, says
"Mr. Bryan is a great man, one of the
greatest in America today, and his in
fiuence will be felt for many years to
come in American politics. He is a
giant in intellect and simply indefati-
gable in the prosecution of campaign.
Whether he will be a candidate for the
presidency in the near future remains
to be seen, but it is not probable that
he will. 1t is more reasonable to pre-
sumo that he would decline the nomina-
ton, even should it be offered to him."

Dom Paurs speech, declaring the
British barbarous, in the conduct of the
South African war, is considered, by
Washington authorities, a mistake.
They declare it was not diplomatic and
calculated to embarrass his host. the
republic Of France. The real fact is,
however, that the objection to the ut
terance is that It is a fact-something
that ought to be omitted entirely from
this latter day diplomacy.
