lishman. Ihope the presidents of your
universities and your men of affairs will
warn theose under them to beware OF
this gold and shun it as they would g

Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth ex-
horted the people of this country In 1896
to ''rear an empire sacred to the rights
of men, and commend government of
reason to the nations of the earth"
What would the eminent jurist say, if
he were alive today, about the brus
talsavagery of our soldiers in the Philip;
pines? The undisputed evidence
shows that some of our officers have
ordered their men to wage war with all
the fiendish barbarity OF a band of
Sioux Indians. The war was COM
menced for humanity sake, but its
conduct would disgrace tribe of can
