As to Idle Soldiers,

Governor Roosevelt at IIelcnaD
II N A RECENT speech at Chicago
Mr.. Bryan is reported to have
Il spoken as follows: can 100000
soldiers in country like this
take charge and change the form of
government? No, but the fact that
a people like ours permit this, BODIES
no good to American institutions. If
900 soldiers are permitted to walk
about in idleness where one soldier
would do, what are we coming to?"
If this extract is correct, it is inter-
esting to see that Mr., Bryan has
abandoned the Kansas City platform
and his own message Of acceptance, in
so far as they define the danger Of
miitarism. The absurdity of speculat-
ing on an army of 100000 men as a
threat to the country, when one-third
of them are volunteers and the regu-
lars provided for for only two years
by congress, is so palpable that the
mere statement of the case is suf-
ficient for refutation. But it is no
more absurd than the extraordinary
quotation. What is it that bodies no
good to American institutions? Is it
the sixty odd thousand regulars for
the most part in the Philippines? I'm
der President Mckinley while there is
war in the Philippines, our regular
army has shrunk to but little more
than half the relative size which it had
attained at the end of President JEFF
ferson's administration during a period
of profound peace. Even more eX-
traordinary is the statement that 1OO-
900 soldiers are permitted to walk
about in Incidence where one soldier
would do. If it were not for Mr..
Bryan's other utterances on the sub
ject it would seem absolutely impos-
sible that this statement could have
been correctly reported,

ments. No city OF similar population surpasses
it in the architectural excellence of its resi-.
dences and business blocks. 1t has some of the
handsomest schoolhouses and churches in the
country and its public library is incompatible,
The exterior is a faithful copy of the old Paais
de Cluny in Paris, now used as a historical
museum. Methodist church here is said to
be the largest Protestant house Of worship in
the world, and will comfortably seat $500 people
1t is certainly one Of the most imposing. The

Of the population are directly or indirectly de.

The Tribune regards the peace and
future welfare of the great body of
the citizenship of this city and valley
as of greater consequence and infinite
ly more worthy of consideration than
the question of the immediate sale of a
few hundred or few thousand pap
ers, gained by scare-head sensation
alism. The great majority of the
miners in our city are peaceful, law
abiding and as much concerned in the
preservation of the good name Of our
community as any group of people in
habiting it; and for this reason we
see no compliment, but rather gross
injustice, to them in conveying con-
trary impressions to the outside public.

We challenge any fair-minded Ameri-

Philippine commission, printed else
where on this page, and then to say
that it lends support to the Democratic
sham outcry against imperialism" or
that it gives color to William ].

ate it the public should study the

ness! Think of these words being
spoken by a candidate for the highest
office in the gift Of the American people
of men who have passed year of such
grinding toll and desperate danger in
the Philippines that we here can hard
ly form any conception of all that they
have tried and risked and endured.
They have been worn down month in
and month out, marching from dawn
till darkness through the mud of the
tropical swamps, sleeping when and
how they could eating what they could
get or going without, facing death by
bullet at every step from a foe ten
times as numerous as themselves and
ignorant, and besides facing what was
Infinitely worse than death, the most
dreadful torture. With patient, un-
complaining, unflnching, never-wear-
ing courage, they have done all this,
and their reward is that the chosen
representative OF one Of the two great
parties sneers at them as walking
about in idleness.
Some of them no longer walk about
in idleness. Lawton no longer walks
about in idleness. Liscum no longer
walks about in idleness. Reilly no
longer walks about in idleness. Many
an officer, many a soldier rests for
ever in peace-peace because his life
of toll and effort for his country has
come to the kind of end which should
at least secure freedom from slight or

soldier do the work of these men! Are
our memories so short as already to
forget the hurry with which we drew
troops both from America and the
Philippines when the blood of our
people called from China and the awful
danger of the women and children in
Pekin stirred to its utmost soul the
blood of all Christians? Every Ameri-
can public man who holds high the
honor of his country should have
craven on his heart the solemn
prophecy of Lawton. Let him beware
above all else the words that speed
the bullets of our countrys enemies.
Idleness! Was Leonard Wood idle
when for the first time in 300 years he
cleaned a Spanish city? Was he idle
when he fed and clothed and schooled
the child of the reconcentrado? Was
he idle when he lifted into active labor
the man sunk into shiftless apathy
by centuries of Spanish tyranny? Was
| he idle when he started this man with
| long strides on the path of self gov
ernment? Were Generals Macarthur,
Wheaton and Young idle when they
| drove plunderers and murderers before
them that under the shadow of our
| flag the SCARED wilderness might again
become a fruitful land? Was Chaffee
idle when, eager to obey the presidents
command, he led the march toward the
| Forbidden city? Was the boy Titus
idle when, springing lightly from the
| ranks, he planted on the walls of an
immoral despotism the flag which
stood for rescue and freedom? Idle
ness! Such idleness is of the kind that
plain men call heroism, and thrice
happy is the country which can COM
