Properly handled the information al

his conviction. When his fate is as

JUSTICE TO RICE.

The reply of the secretary of war to
the resolution of inquiry regarding the
deportation of Editor Rice, of the Man
fla Daily Bulletin makes nothing known
with which the public has not already
been acquainted. The war authorities
claim that the charges of Rice regarding
the maladministration Of the affairs Of
the port of Manila were false, and We're
persisted in after their falsity had been
made plain to the military authorities.
That is the gist of the offense charged
against Rice. These are the facts on
which the authorities at Manila based
their Characterization of Rice as an In
cendiary, and justified his deportation to
this country with that infamous brand
attached to him.
It is true that Gen. Macarthur declares
that the fullest examination was had Of
Rices charge. What may have been
a fun examination in the eye OF the sol
diers now administering affairs in Manila
might very well be in the nature of an
entirely partial examination in the view
of MI Rice No one doubts but that
Gen. Macarthur believes that the cap
tain of the port of Manila did not COM
nit the wrongs attributed to him or Ills
subordinates by Rice, or that that off,
cial would be retained in his position
were he, in the view of the military au-
thorities, guilty of the offenses, whatever
they were, which were laid at his door
But even conceding all this, the fact
still remains that the punishment inflict-
ed was anything but commensurate to
the offense charged against Rice
1t is stated in Gen MacArthur's reply
that the papers in the case were for
warded Feb. /. These papers will no
doubt be laid before congress in the reg
ular order, and the public will then re-
ceive further enlightenment on the sub
ject from the standpoint of Gen. Mac
Arthur and his subordinate officers.
1t will be necessary for those who
| have resorted to his drastic course Of
punishment of Rice to be able to salts

expresses it, Rices actions were "a
menace to the military situation" 1t
seems at this distance a remarkable cir
cumstance that criticism of the admins
tration of a civil officer, such as Rica
is declared to have INDUCED in, should
be a menace to a military situa ton,
which. we are asked daily to believe, has
nothing whatever menacing in it's ma
ture.
| Nothing short of the fullest examina-
/, ton of the entire transaction will suffice
to satisfy the American people that an
American editor, engaged in the lawful
| pursuit of his profession, ought to be
driven from his home and business and
! branded as a firebrand, as punishment
| for criticisms which on their ace appear
| to have nothing whatever TO do with
! the military situation. Rice should be
heard in his own defense He should be
returned to his business and his home
and compensated for the wrong done him
unless it can be shown that the measure
resorted to was fully justified by mill
tary necessity.

THE CUDAHY ARREST.

The capture of one of the Cudahy kid
napers will be received with much nleas
ure by all classes. There is not a par
cnt of any rank or station in the entire
country whose feelings have not been
aroused by the abduction of the Cuda-
by boy. A more cold-blooded or re-
E1orseless scheme of extortion was new
er played. 1t has, moreover, an addi-
tional element of scoundrelism arising
from the fact that the man who orig1-
mated and took leading part in the I'M
dertalSing had been the recipient of the
favor and consideration of him who
was SO successfully blackmailed through
his feelings and fears as a father.
From all present appearances the en-
tire facts of the transaction, including
the names of all engaged in ii. will soon
be in the possession of the police of
Omaha. The language attributed to the
man now in custody plainly indicates
that he knows all about it, took part in
the scheme and is trying to offer the as
surance to his confederates that there is
TO purpose on his part to turn states
evidence
The capture and punishment of this
gang of criminals will do more than all
the legislation that may be enacted. to
bring an end to this practice. Just as
the example of those men and the immu-
nifty from punishment which has at
tended them thus far have been effective

MILWAUKEE, SENTINEL SOLD

The Milwaukee Sentinel has changed
dollars. The fact that the Sentinel has
changed hands is of no especial interest
except as the change indicated a re-
versal of the policy hitherto pursued by
that paper. The fact that it brought
COCO is of no consequence to the pub
lie, except as it is an index of the poiiti-
cal conditions that made the transac-
ton necessary.
The Sentinel for years has been the
leading newspaper in the state of Wis
consin. More than that, it has through
Its editorial columns welded an influence
seldom exercised by a journal with
local and state circulation That influence
was acquired and maintained by reason
of course singularly consistent and
honest. The positions taken by the Sen
tinel were not always those dictated by
party bosses, but they We're always as
near right as human judgment backed by
answering integrity could make them
Although always in the Republican ranks
the Sentinel refused to allow itself to
be degraded to the position of mere
party organ but on all measures in and
outside of party, its editorial express
sions were always well-timed and fear
less.
These characteristics endeared the Sem
tinel to the people but rendered it a thorn

In the fight, now on in Madison, be-
tween the stalwarts and the reformers

ure that is wormwood and gall to the
stalwart ring. The course of the paper
was set and nothing would change it
but an out and out purchase. The stall
warts found that the Sentinel must be
