Hon. Rhodes Clay.

The Vandalia Mail and Express
thus speaks of him
The many friends and admirers
of Rhodes Clay are anxious that
he should again represent
Audrain county in the Legislature d.
His record during the past legisla-
ture is without a blemish. He is
young, honest, fearless and always
with the people and against jobs
and monopoly. The people of the
country love him for the work he
has done and for the enemies he
has made. Audrain has been
changing representatives every
election for the past twenty years
with one exception. Better service
can undoubtedly be obtained by
holding on to the same representa-
tive longer. When the county
gets good representative he ought
to at least serve second term.

mighty influence in all parts of the
Philippines is the mercst moon
shine. The fact is, the natives of
the islands outside of Luzon know
nothing about him aud care less.
| know this is true from personal
observation in Mindanao and Cc-
bu. The people took up arms IL
gainst us because they are impa-
tient of restraint from any quar-
ter. Aguinaldo would have found
as lively a reception as we did II
he had tried to bring them under
his sway.
1.-THE fact that the percentage of
Filipinos wounded i'll action was
so ridiculously small in compare
son to the killed was due partly to
the Macabebes, who showed no
quarter, and partly to our own
troops. who went on the theory
that the only good Niger Is n
dead one The Americans who
fell into their hands were general
" hacked to pieces, and this so
exasperated us that we took no
prisoners if we could find II good
excuse for killing them. Down in
Mindanao several of our men were
waylaid and captured close to
camp. All of them were cut to
pieces with bolos. Not far from
camp was a native village. The
men were arrested and confessed
that inhabitants of the village were
guilty of the crime. They were
marched outside of camp. Were
they killed! Well, | guess so.
Anyway they never came back.
The officers in command at Mani
la did all they could to suppress
the executions of Filipinos who
were captured or wounded in bat
ties, but still it was said to be quite
frequent in the remote districts
where the troops had no hospitals
for the wounded and no men to
spare for guarding prisoners. Our
transport was delayed three days
at Manila in order that charges of
this sort of business could be in
vestigated, but nothing came of it..
The Filipinos have many good
traits and may eventually become
peaceable and loyal citizens, but
it will take Il whole lot of educa-
ton to overcome their treacherous
traits, and generations to ellml-
nate their hatred for Americans.
In my opinion, the only way to
thoroly pacifv the islands and re-
5 tore peaceable conditions so that
the resources of the country can be
developed is to scatter 100, 600
troops in all directions and keep
them there for years to come. The
fare from San Francisco to Mani
la is 1897.

The MESSAGE ne

Joke. best to confess the

fession, just about as we see 1t,
from the Brunswick Brunswicker:
It's no joke to say the Repub-
Leans are active and organizing
for the fight of their life III 1902
in Missouri. Nor is il idle talk to
say they are confident of winning
victory, and there is no reason
to suppose it is impossible for
them to do so. They swept the
State in 1894 from the legislature
to State officers, electing every
thing in sight under less favorable
circumstances than those which
confront the party at the present
time. The Republican party stands
as Il unit in the country districts
and their late defeat in st. Louis,
their stronghold, has taught them
Il lesson by which they are apt to
profit. They have ample time to
dress up their broken lines and
heal old sores before the election
day comes around. This they are
already doing and will show "A
solid front when the polls are OPP
ened. With the Democratic party
there is an entirely different state
of affairs. The party is divided
and subdivided until it would be
hard now to organize picket
guard. The Democrats We're unit
ed last year and had goodly num-
Der of Populists, Public Owner
ship, free silver Republicans and
other diSaifccted elements with
them. These people are organic
ing into party of their own and
will no doubt have out a full tick
ct ut the next State election. The
vote east for Mcrriwcther at the
spring election in st. Louis may
be taken as basis of what their
vote is likely to he in the State,
and but little Of it will come from
the Republican party. If Demo

win, they should as well under

which are among the best silk goods.

the handle. They range in price from
81 so to So each, but you get the choice
for 95c.
These goods are on the big center
counter, and go at 95 cents for choice.
Duncan also offers today one hundred
and seventy five pairs ladies low-cut
shoes in almost every new shape and
style. These shoes are we'll worth 81 so
to So. But today you get your choice
for only 50 cents.
Think of fine silk umbrella and a
pair of fine shoes for only $1.9O for
both. Go to Duncan's today.
