MONDAY. APRIL 1901
The Every Evening seems to re.
gret the capture OF Aguinaldo, at
least it condemns General Funston
Tor the method he resorted to to ef-
tect that object. The sympathizers
with the outlawry in the Philip
pines, are all OF the same mind,
they would have Funston cashlered
instead of promoted for his bravery.
All such scallawags ought to be
punished in some way tor their dis,
10y atty. The deceit practiced is
tully justified by the number Of
lives it will save, and the good
it will do the Filipenos, as we'll as
for our own couptrymen. The OBJ
ject of our soldiers has been to es-
tablish better government for
those people and promote their
prosperity and the men who have
stood in the way oil the accomplish.
ment Of our desires are no better
than traitors, although they may
call themselves Democrats. From
the tone of the Every Evening, the
editor would have been pleased had
Funston been taken prisoner and
punished for using such deceptive
means to accomplish his purpose.

It's a good thing to get new Ii.

Every new librarian has his own
IDEAS about how the reading room

puts his IDEAS into Use. Then when

looks the room over and finds that
things are not what they should be
and the manner ot giving out the
books antiuuated. lie then instl-
tutes a reform; and so on it goes as
each new man comes along.

years more than two good bridges
would have cost.
AFTER months Of dIsquicttde the
police have broken out and several
arrests made OF policy men. Policy

There are greater evils going oO in
rIty than policy playing.
