AN APPALLING DISCLOSURE.

United States treasury officials at
Washington, acting in accord with a
resolution passed by the United States
senate, have compiled a statement Of
the cost Of the war in the Philippines,
which broke out when the attempt was
made by the present administration to
take from the Philippines the freedom
that had been promised them and for
which they fought, side by side with the
American troops. Some difficulty has
been experienced to gei the figures cor
rect, but they were given out from
Washington Monday night after being
carefully compiled. The result Of the
investigation is appalling and calcu-
lated to make the most pronounced i'm
perialist think at least twice. How
many American soldiers have been kill
ed in this war, which has been "over"
for many months? The treasury de-
partment has access to the reports and
declares that the number Is 1884. These
young men have laid down their lives
that a lot of Tagalos could be bought up
at 81 per head. The soldiers killed in
action number 533. The deaths from
wounds were 193 The deaths from dis
ease and other causes in the climate
that was never intended for h:.bitation
by a white race, were 1858. Aside from
this there were 2,073 men wounded and
many thousands are in the hospitals, or
on the transports on the way back TO
this country, physical and mental
wrecks. Not half the soldiers who went
to- the Philippines will ever amount to
anything when they get home. Yet,
with all the losses, not more than 1000
soldiers out of an army Of $1,000 could
be spared from the island sf Luzon to
proceed to China to rescue an accred-
tied minister of the United States from
grave peril. The cost in men has been
shown, and what has been gained? Ap-
parently nothing, for not a soldier can
be spared.
are not so important in the eyes of the
imperialist. What Of the cost In dol
lars? Estimates prepared by expert
accountants OF the treasury department
show that the cost of the army and
navy since the beginning Of hostilities in
the Philippines has been 1854. 100000 in
excess Of what it would have been II
the same average rate Of expenditures
had been maintained that prevailed be-
fore the war with Spain.

creased cost of the army and navy on

respondence." The best information is
that while something was captured at
| one Of the capitals, 1t amounted to
little. more than blank letterheads Of
the Filipino leader. Then the campaign
managers got together, worked a few
military dupes in on the deal and sent
to Washington to have some more
lackeys garble some letters, for cam
paign purposes.
But, IL 1t were all true, what Of it?
The News Democrat, which prints all
the news, printed extracts from the let
ter, Wednesday, as they were taken
from its leased wire. Leverson, 1t is
claimed, says the war in the Philippines
is a "piraticar' war. Well, isn't It?
1t certainly isn't war for humanity,
for there is no humanity in stealing a
peoples liberty. If 1t isn't the piracy
of Imperialism what is It? Leverson
suggests that the Filipinos appeal to
the United States would be made
stronger If it were pointed out that
Mr.. Mckinley keeps the people of the
United States in ignorance of the real
conditions in the islands. Well, that
is good advice. Everybody knows that
facts were, and are yet, suppressed as
regards the doings in the Philippines.
The correspondent Of the Associated
Press proved this and said the system
inaugurated was rotten to the core.
Nothing very wrong for Leverson to
mention 1t. Leverson says further
that the imperialists deliberately lie
when they declare that there was a
conspiracy against the United States
and that hostilities had been planned
many months. A great many people
in the United States believe the Fill
pinos didn't want to fight.
The killing Of women and children
is referred to as an "atrocity." Any
objection to that? Or doesn't the
creed Of the imperialist, on conquest
bent, among foreign tribes, hold the
lives of mothers and babes worth saw
ing or hold the chastity Of the young
girl inviolate? And Leverson names a
captain, names Otis, relative of the
former Philippine commander as one
Of the fellows who committed outrages
against Filipino women and girls.
Taken as a whole the fake correspon-
dence given out to have political effect
for the Republican party is very fair
| arraignment of the administration,
edited by administration people who
seem to know what they are talking
about. Instead Of convicting the peo-
pie who love liberty, well enough to
insist on having 1t, they have simply
convicted themselves, and have turned
a department that ought to be engag-
ed in the business Of the government
into a campaign bureau.

birthday, in 1924 he cast his first vote

exception he has voted for every presi-
dent since. Last election he walked
nearly a mile to the town house and
