AS A JUDGE.

CenalI Funston ls receiving a liberal
share o., roasting IN the press, on ac-
count of bis summary execution Of
some TI.U.a1s. and The censure is prob
ably deserved. sun. in a country
where deeds can be committed. such as
those described In certain reports from
Manila. there Is some justification for
summary execution Of justice.
According 20 the reports referred TO.
American soldiers who had fallen into
the hands of the natives Of the Panay
island. were cruelty tortured on the
public square. on the occasion Of a
fiesta OF the sayages, They were tied
70 stakes and slowly burned BY a fire
lighted at their feet and at last they
We're dragg-d through the streets by d
frenzlsd mob, and finally they were
killed. II u is true that native Fill
plnos are INDUCING I'm "hestas' Of that
kind. Il Is conceivable that a military
officer at times viii feel like killing
them, as he would a snake or a scor-
plon. without trial and sentence.
sun, there are reasons why Amerl-
cans should go slow In acts Of retrlbu-
tlon. In the first place, the Philippines
Is not the only country in which mobs
arrange hestas ia which the chief fea-
ture, Is ,he burning az the stake. or the
inniotUn OF undescribable tortures,
and 1. IS certainly not right TO con-
denim others for that which IS done
right at home In the second place,
what the Fliplnos need ls the impair
tlal, regular administration Of law, not
outburts Of ll.slon They have been
under lawlessness and spasmodic acts
Of retrbuton 100 long, with the result
that they an have become desperadoes.
What they now need is stern. but cool,
deliberate justice tempered with mercy
That wIll 60 time bring them to realize
the benefits OF civilization
Funston has won distinction In the
war With the Filipino Insurgents. He
has shown on many occasions the valor
and discretion for which American Of
fioers are noted. II he is guilty Of the
act charged TO him. he has had great
provoation, But his superiors can
hardy escape the duty Of having the
matter Investigated and dealt with on
It's merits Impartiality and equality
before the law are among the first les
sons to be learned under the American
flag.
