A Poor Investment.

TNHE CHARGE having been
made that William Connell
n caused George Howels re-
mOval from the office of su-
pc"intendent of city schools. it is in
order that the facts should be
known. One Of the most significant of
these is that the school board which
removed him was of his own political
faith. l. was controlled By Democrats.
Yet Howell was removed and q Repub-
lican put in his place, at an increased
salary--the work OF Democrats They
will tell you that the man who made
that possible WAS George Howell him
self.
1mperious. sclf-wiiled. wanting to be
the whole show and have always the
center of the stage. he alenated from
him one controller after another until
finally those who had been originally
his staunchest supporters became con-
WINGED that for the welfare of the
schools change in the superinten-
dency was necessary. That the change
was made did not reflect upon Mr.
Howelis ability. which was freely con-
ceded. 1t represented Il natural revolt
from his domineering attempt to boss
IN excess of authority, to ply the lash
mercilessly on all who crossed his path,
to carry grudges and prejudces and to
be guilty. in some cases, of actual tyr
amy.
William Connell never lifted a finger
against George Howell. Everything he
has ever done in relation to Howell has
been friendly, and Howell knows it. 1t
is, therefore, in bad taste but charac-
teristic of Howell to go about the coun-
" complaining that he has been in
jured by Connel He ought to he big
enough To stand up and face the music
of this campaign like II man. TO kneel
and beg for sympathy OH an untruthful
basis is not betting il gentleman OF
his scholarship and attachments. Af-
ter the campaign IL over and he comes
to reflect upon the past hr will agree
with Us that the baby act is Il poor
investment.

THE SAMAR ATROCITIES.

The facts brought out during the
trial of Major Waller at Manila should
cause shame to every true American.
We grew rghteously indignant at the
barbarities OF Weyler in Cuba and
raised our. voice in protest when 1t be-
came known that Kitchener had estab-
lished concentration camps in South
Africa, and now it has been establish
ed by competent testimony that our
own officers dashed a Filipino to a
tree and went out day after day and
shot him In a non-vital part of his
body. thus prolonging his agony until
the horrible vengeance OF the ofi1cer
was satiated when the victim was fin
ally dispatched.
or such is war. Sherman said most
Justly that war is hell" and he might
have added that it makes of its follow
ers devils. Not all of them. of course;
as not all OF any other calling are
either good or bad, But that such afro
cities as those that Major Waller ad-
mits he was guilty of in Samar could
be committed by men wearing the uni
form of the United States in most
astonishing.
All the myriad brood of evils which
come with and Immediately after war

pines. Soon there will not be In all the
family of nations. single power we
can consistently rebuke-for an ex-
ample of atrocity on our part, equally
shocking. can be pointed to by the
most barbarous.
An accursed greed of territory is
back of it all-is back or the record oi
blood and rapine and tyranny made by
England in the conquest OF unwilling
peoples for the purpose OF spoliauoni
is back of our own policy in dealing
with Filipinos. The ambition to be
world power" an international slug
ger, has driven our once benehcen'
government INTO the LAaSASNlNAA VI NSi
quest; has made us forget the i'm
mortal principles for which the fathers
fought heroically and won their inde-
pendence. 1t has made us members ol
the brotherhood of robber nations, dis
regarding the rights of others unable
to defend themselves with the sword.
The latest and most horrible de-
velopment of the Republican policy oi
conquest is the action of our officers
in savagely torturing Filpinos and
ruthlessly executing them without
trial And it Is entirely safe to say that
the exposure of the Waller atrocity
was accidental. We will probably never
know the extend of the barbarism and
disgrace that the Philippine enterprise
has led us into.
