One of the crowd which had gathered to

THE EFFRoNTERY OF LODGE.
virtual Confession OF Atrocities of
American Soldiers in the
Philippines.

Senator Lodges defense of the
atrocities perpetrated in the Philip
pine islands is notable indeed for its
evasive hypocrisy. The atrocities
themselves he dares not defend, but
he abuses the people who have ex-
posed them and insisted ON their re-
preston, says the Indianapolis SEN
tine1. With calm effrontery Mr..
Lodge said:
at is source of bitter regret to me- that
any American officer or enlisted man should
have tortured any Filipino, or that any or
der was issued that on its face seemed re-
voting. But there must be some reason
for these alleged cruelties.'
Here is an admission of the fact of
torture and of revolving orders. He
regrets them. So does every Ameri-
can. He says there was treason" for
them. Every American knows that.
We went out to fight people not
fully civilized and who have for years
been engaged in a bitter and cruel
warfare. They know no other kind.
We knew what to expect of them.
But we profess to be civilized and we
are under the obligation of civiliza-
ton to ALLURE barbarism, especially
in an effort to force. civilization and
liberty on an unwilling people. The

THE VITAL ISSUE IS TRUsTIsM
by Such Things as the Beef
Monopoly.

Senator-e1ect German, of Maryland,
stands with the majority of the Amer
lean people in his belief that the beef
trust has made trustism the issue of
the congressional campaigns by arous-
ing this country to a full realiza ton
of the necessity for restricting the
evil power of the trusts.
Every American family, rich and
poor alike, has been brought face to
face with situation omin ously illus
trat1ng the malignant working of the
trust idea. For no reason, save that
the big packing houses constituting
the beef trust determined to suddenly
take full advantage of their absolute
control of markets, the price Of meats
has been advanced to an unwarranted
point In thousands of instances this
advance has caused suffering and de-
prlvation, says the st. Louis Republic
Even to the rich, who were not COM
pelled to deprive themselves of meat
because of these high prices, lesson
has been taught that has logically and
rightly created the deepest resentment
against the monopoly combines.
The developments following investi-
cation of the beef trusts method of
business constitute the most formida-
BILE Indictment of the trust evil. They
show that the cattlemen who sell to

the beef trust, the retail butchers and
meat dealers, are utterly, one and all,
at the mercy of the beef trust. Cattle
men can sell only to the beef trust,
competition being absolutely destroyed.
Retail butchers and meat dealers can
buy only from the beef trust, compe-
tition being absolutely destroyed. The
consuming public can buy only from
the retail butcher and meat dealers,
paying the exorbitant prices made
necessary by the greed of the beef
trust. There is no appeal from the
prices set by the beef trust, owing to
its unbroken monopoly in the buying
and selling of meats.
This teaching of the inevitable oper-
alton of the trust idea, conveyed to the
American people by the action of a
combine controlling the most impor-
tant of food materials, has sunk deep
ly into American minds. Every house
hold in this country is aroused to pro-
test against the rapacity of the beef
trust Public sentiment is awakened
as never before to the necessity of
trust restriction. The reports of the
situation published in the daily press
are in themselves an overwhelming
Indictment of the trust system. The
truth of the situation is a campaign
document. of incalculable value as tend
ing to bring correction of the trust
evil The democratic party is the po-
litical organization to which the peo-
pie turn for aggressive action against
the trusts. The plainest duty now con-
fronting the democratic party is to
make the beef trust the vital issue of
the congressional campaigns of 1902
and to lead the people to a victory
which will mean rescue from the OPP
pressive tyranny Of the monopoly

BURNING HEAD.

Star City, Ark, May 26th.-A very
'emarkable case has just occurred
acre.
Mr.. w. 81. Metals has been suffer
ng severely for two years with an
iilment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
Ill in his head, which had a burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but it never left him.
At last he tried a new remedy
:alled Dodd's Kidney Pills, and was
lgreeably surprised to find that the
burning gradually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid
him up for the last few weeks, but
Dodd's Kidney Pills have banished
his old trouble entirely.
His son George used a few of the
Pills which his father did not need
and they have done so much good
that he says he would not take ten
centssa pill for the few he still has left.

victory over Havana Dirt.

OF all the victories won in the field
by the army created for the war of
1898 none reflect: upon it such credit
as its triumph in the campaign against
disease. Of that triumph the war de-
partment reports particulars which
almost stagger belief. The army took
charge of Havana when deaths were
occurring at the rate of 21 .252 per wear.
Now, with a larger population. they
are but 5,720 per year. Smallpox,
which had been for years epidemic, is
entirely stamped out, yellow fever
practically so. When the records of
the American occupation in Cuba are

of alleged crueltieS and to punish any
found guilty of atrocities. Mr.. Lodge made
a warm defense of the secretary of war;
asserting that in the long list of distin-
gudshed men who had occupied that office
there never had been an ADLER more public
spirited more patriotic man than Sec
rotary Root
Yet it is but few weeks since Sec
rotary Root denied absolutely that
there had been any "cruelties" and
publicly rebuked Gen. Miles for stat
ing in an official communication that
the war had ''been conducted with
forts of the men whom Senator
Lodge abuses to get at the facts, all
knowledge of them would have been
suppressed except what came from
unofficial sources. The report fur
Their gives Senator Lodges state
ment:
".An of u.s. he said, want to see justice
done-we want to see those guilty of atroci-
ties and torture punished. We do not ap-
prove of injustices and atrocities committed
upon prisoners or upon helpless men. And
orders have gone out from the white house
and the war department to prevent such
atrocities
That is all anybody wants, and all
anybody has asked, yet to read the
senator's conclusions one would i'm
agine that somebody had been ask
ing for the punishment of perfectly
innocent men who had committed no
offense whatever. Senator Lodge in
reality confesses all that has been
charged, and, it may be added, all
that has been proven-and no more.
