Alright From fils Standpoint.

Fred Funston was entertained in
Chicago one night recently, by the
Marquette club, and made another
bitter attack on those who do not be-
Iieve in the governments policy in
the Philippines. Two negro soldiers
were recently hanged in the Philip
pines for DESERVING their companies
and joining the FilipinoS. Funston
thinks it would have been better had
those Americans been hanged who
.petitioned congress for peace. In his
address, he referred to the fact that
700 natives had been convicted and
sentenced to death.
Funston, a few years ago, was look
ing for job, and unknown. Today,
he is a brigadier-general, and a hero.
as the result of the useless war we are
carrying on in the far east. Naturally
he favorS this war. But how about
the people who have already paid
something like s4OO, 900, 900 on war ac-
count; who paid $50, OO0, 900 on war &C
count last year. and who have no hope
OF return? Have not the people who
pay the taxes right to suggest how
such taxes shall be expended. Shall
the country be run in the interests OF
the postmasters, generals, congress-
men, department clerks, captains. con
tractors. and the like? Or is this a
government by the people, and for the
people? -AtchiSon Globe.

GopherS are beginning to worry tn

1t is said that in one field near Scandal
there is gopher mound to every

successfully by cutting a potato near
