WHY NOT TRY JUSTICE?

FROM The New York World.
The suggestion made in the
Senate that the army required in
the Philippines be called by that
name and charged to the imper-
ial account is a good one, if we
are to keep on fighting and kill
ing the inhabitants, as Spain did
cruelty and uselessly for two hum
dred years.
The people have a right to know
what the Philippine business IS
costing and just how large an adj
dition to our army is made nee
essary by the war of subjugation
that now, after two years of fail
ure, is confessed by Administra-
ton Senators to be more general
and more discouraging than it
was before Mr.. McKinley's re-
election.
But why should we require a
great Colonial army" for mum
Der of years!" Is it the wish or
for the interest of the people of
this country to create an Ameri-
can India in the Philippines for
military rule? Shooting and chas-
ing the Filippinos, burning their
fieldsand garrisoning their towns
having failed to induce them to
accept Mr.. McKinley's benevo-
lent intentions, why not try the
policy which made the Cubans
our friends? Why not substitute
| justice for the gun as an expert
ment?
Senator Hoar's proposition to
proclaim amnesty. to the Filipino
leaders and invite them to Wash
ington to tell their story may not
be the best form of olive branch
but it is look in the right direc'
ton. A resolution of Congress
promising freedom and independ
ence to the people under our pro
lection would probably end the
''insurrection" at once and Sc
cure for us all that we need there
"a naval station and harbor O.
refuge.

An exchange tells the following
very annoying joke on a young
Kansas editor: sin his capacity
as local reporter he went out to
report an evening party at a
house that shortly before had
been blessed with the arrival of
a new baby. Accompanied by his
best girl, he met the hostess at
the door, and after the usual sal
utations, asked after the new
baby's health. The lady, who
was quite hard of hearing and
suffering with the grip, thought
he was asking about her cold,
and told him that though she
usually had one every winter,
this was the worst one she ever
had; it kept her awake at night,
and confined her to her bed.
Then, noticing that the scribe
was getting quite pale and nerv-
Gus, she SAID that she could tell
by his looks that he was going to
have one Just like hers, and ask
ed him to go in and sit down.
The paper was out as usual the
next week, but the young editor
has quit enquiring about babies

ut takes money TO run news

What an exaggeration! What
a whopper! 1t has been disprov-
ed a thousand times; it is clean
case of airy fancy. 1t doesn't
take money to run a newspaper;
it can run without money. 1t is
a charita BILE institution, begging

newspaper is a child of the air,
creature of dream. 1t can go
on and on and on, when any other
concern would be in the hands OF
a receiver and wound up with
cob-webs in the window.
It takes wind to run a news
paper; it takes gall to run news

acrobatic imagination, and halt
dozen white shirts and railroad
pass to run a newspaper. But
money-Heavens to Betsy and

YOU see an editor with money,
watch him. He'll be paying his
