that soldiers In the Philippines had
orders to shoot any living thing in

and abused him, as usual, but offered
nothing in support of the contention
that nothing Of the sort is going on,
while letters from soldiers indicate
tha, there is at least great moral loose
ness in the conduct of the war. It is
base and ignoble war at best-one

William E. Curtis, in special from
Washington to the Chicago Record
gives information from official sources
concerning the doings in China. He
writes:
Mr.. Conger, under instructions, has
entered protest against any further
military invasion of Chinese territory
because none but the innocent suffer.
The persons guilty of wrong against
the foreigners are not reached by these
expeditions, but the helpless and limo.
cent natives are robbed, murdered,
butchered and outraged by the soldiers.
The Germans, the Russians and the
French are particularly brutal in their
treatment Of the coolies, and they go
out to kill and destroy everything
within their reach. Modern civiliza-
tion has seen no parallel for the
brutality of the European soldiers in
China.
In the face of this the administration
at Washington takes great delight in
mildly protesting and then referring.
in the most endearing terms. to 'the
concert of the powers" 1t is fine con-
cert-a concert of groans Of the wound
ed, death gurglings of the dying and
shrieks of women and girls being car
ried off into captivity worse than
death.

board can get into its caucus room.
This bid was no sooner In the hands
of the editor of this salmagundi, who
is acting in this matter solely in the
interest Of the taxpayers Of this COM
munity, than a gentleman with fine
foreign accent on that part of his voice
that the cold wave did not coagulate
on the wires en- route, 'phoned in q
bid. He said that the board was being
'horsinswoggled" and that the Canton
Iron and Metal company would pay 6
IL cents per pound for "clean rubber"
The voice was that Of an acute busi-
ness man but the modulation, when
the price was mentioned, suggested
that great philanthropist the Honor
able Max Rudner. 1t will be noticed,
however, that the Green and Kramer
people offer trifle more per pound,
and their Fourth ward agent said
nothing about the condition Of the
rubber as to cleanliness, while Mr.. Rud-
ner insists that the rubber be clean.
The bids, however, are given in good
faith and the board of education will
doubtless be able to arrange gum
shoe lavatory in the basement of the
high school, or in the ante room of the
caucus. At any rate, here is a much
better price than the board has con.
