Couldn't be More Nicely Said.

J. E. Jones, of THE WAsHBURN
TINES has succeeded In accomplish
ing what is the end and aim of near
ly every newspaper publisher in the
state, namely, of printing the whole
of his paper at home. The one hope
of every one in the business is to
get out of the clutches of the ready
print houses, and do all their own
type setting, but it takes capital to
do it. We are glad to note the fact
that Brother Jones is prospecting,
as he was once a Boomer boy, and
has acquired his present position in
newspaper circles by hard work,
and the judicious use of his natural
abilities. -Bloomer Advocate.

the constitution follows the flag or
lags behind, we must maintain the "as-
similation' by force of arms. The Gin
surrection' in the Philippine islands
is said to be substantially at an end
but at the present rate of transportation
we shall soon have an army there APP
proximating one hundred thousand
men. That many soldiers, judiciomsly
and forcefully directed, ought to be
able to smash polygamy and slavery
In the Sulu islands In short order.
Mr.. Tayler is man of high character
and very influential. Let him demand
of congress and the executive that the
military shall be turned against the
sinful sultan, and his wives and concu-
bines be liberated and given a chance
to tread the paths of morality as we seq
1t through American spectacles. 1t Is
not sufficient estoppel of this proposi-
tion to ask what is to become of these
women when they are turned out in tho
world without knowing anything about
how to get along In q Such an argu-
ment did not weigh as much as feather
against the abolition of slavery in the
United States. These women might take
Hamlet's advice and go to a nun
nery," or our benevolent government
might take care, of them in some way
1t is impossible that the United a,i-
thorities would permit them to get into
worse state than they are now.
We foresee, and give little heed to
the claim that such an action might hc
a violation of treaty rights, and might
also involve bloodshed. What do we
care for treaties? Is not the whole war
in the Philippines based on a viola
tion of faith with the Filipinos, who
wanted to join us in ridding the Phil
ippine islands of Spanish rule and in
the promotion of freedom and the re.
publican system of government? Have
we not been killing people by whole.
sale? Have not thousands of bravo
American boys lost their lives In the
work of subjugating people who never
did us harm, and who never inter-
fered with our affairs? Has not there
been great slaughter of the natives
of the Philippine islands, who have
committed no offense but to fight for
their liberty? Can it blacken the
bloody record much to kill few
wretched royal brothel keepers, If force
is necessary? Indeed, would it be
stretching point to assume that few
rivulets of gore in the abatement of
nuisance and the vindication of the
morality and honor of the greatest re-
public Of all time be in the nature of
partial atonement for rivers of blood
spilled in the establishment of empire
and the reduction of a liberty loving
people to obedience?
Let Mr.. Tayler take up the worst case
first.
