THE PHILIPPINEs AND INsANITY.

THE PHILIPPINES AND INSANITY.
For long time it has been a well
known fact that many soldiers have
been returned from the Philippines
hopelessly isnane A special from
Cheyenne, Wyo, to tht Rocky Mount
ain News, under date of April %, says:
Seven cars of the Eleventh infantry,
en- route from service in the Philip
pines to posts in the east, passed
through Cheyenne this mornig. Two
carloads of insane soldiers from the
islands also passed through. Some Of
the men are violent and travel in
chains
From the article published in the
Manila Freedom, of March Z, it is evil
dent that the atrocities committed by
Maj. Waller, for which he was court
martialled, were the acts of mailman.
This was the conclusion reached by
the editor of the Freedom, who says:
maj. Waller has rendered exception
ally good service. He has the reputa-
ton Of being daring and fearless, but a
man VI hGA liz L4OONAo mere nav
been times when his subordinates have
feared to approach him. It has been ru-
mored at various times previous to the
Lanang-Basey expedition that he was
not exactly sane, and from the expe-
rience of the writer, who interviewed
him at Talcoban Immediately after
that fateful expedition, there was little
doubt that he was demented at the
time. He was unable to remember the
names of the officers who accompanied
him, and clearly showed that his rea-
son was unbalanced. This was also the
opinion of officers who knew him. In
all probability the atrocities alleged to
have been instigated by Maj Waller, if
reports are true, were committed I'M
der the direction of a man who was
morally irresponsible, and who should
have been in a hospital or sanitarium
instead of in control of men and with
the lives of human beings in his hand. .
Horrors thicken about the situation
in the Philippines; one in a position
to know, a prominent resident Of Ma
Mia, said that mot a third of what is
said to have taken place has been even
told" Much has been suppressed.
But Of all sad things coming from
the islands is the insanity among the
soldiers, and, it appears, the officers
are not exempt. 1t is worse than death
The insular war has opened a veritable
Pandora's box of unutterable horrors.
The course of empire often leads to
deaths valley, and plans of ambitious
men and nations often return to
plague the inventors.

ONLY WOMEN ARE DEAD SWELL
BY Studying Tourists William Allen white
Finds Out Why This Is SO-Are PIu-
tOcrats Away From Home.

William Allen White, who is resting
up on the island Of Catilina, writes
mighty entertainingly about tourists and
other things. Speaking Of tourists, he
says; Generally speaking tourists are
people who pretend to be worth more
money than they are worth. At home
this is impossible; for in American small
towns where the mass of the well-to- do
population lives, every one knows how
much his neighbO is worth and when
his note IS due at the bank And at
home when a man spends more than be
should there is talk So to lay it on,
the tourist goes abroad. EmpOria peo-
pie who dress by the base burner and
eat two meals a day to save grocery bills
become plutOcrats at the Baltimore in
Kansas City No one ever lived 10 a
town with a real plutOcrat. Yet the
Pullman cars are full of them. Where
do they live? Who are they? Well.
here's the truth about a plutocrat He
is a man who Is away from home who is
wearing his best clothes and cuffs on
week days and clean shirts whether he
needs them or not, who at home rubs his
shoe toes on the calves Of his legs to
save a shine and uses matches for tooth
picks to save a dime. There are no home
made plutocrats; that is not hes. The
only home grown plutOcTats are shes.
Women in EmpOria and the world over
for that matter are the only creatures
who can wear their Sunday airs at home
and away from home with the same easy
grace. The only real plutOcrat in Am
erica IS the female plutOcrat. We men
are all mere plaster of paris casts. So
to return to the tourists on Catalina
island, the men all seem to dread de
lection in their game of playing pluto
crazy; the women only seem to court in
vestigatIOn. They are the real things
and they know it. At the hotel where
we stopped the men who put on their
dress suits for dinner didn't eat much
for fear Of spilling gravy on their shirt
fronts. 1t was easy to see that at home
napkins under their collars and their
full dress regalis was an armor that an
nOyed them. But their wives and
daughters who sat beside the men, went
at the bill of fare like princesses and
threw soup and white sauce about with
easy nOnchalance. There were no gravy
didOes on their shiuing fronts. All of
which is perhaps natural enough. For
a life long experience with splashing
dishwater gives women a confidence in
the presence Of spoon food that men can
not hope to initiate with even passable
Serenity"

Turner for Congressman.

r. W. Turner, Of MankatO, has grow
ing boom among the democrats and
popuiists of the Sixth district for con-
gress. Turner Is one Of the brightest
men in Kansas. He formerly was a re-
publican, leaving that party in 1895 on
the silver issue. In 1900 he recognized
the logic of conditions and identified
himself with the democrats. He was
President HarrisOn's consul to Cadiz,
Spain, and while he was a republican
was a leader, as he has been since he be
came a democrat. He is strong in de-
bate and would make a great campaign
for congress if the opposition to the re-
publican party in the district should
unite on him. The district nominally
is fusion, but since 1898 the republicans
have managed to cause a split between
the pOpulists and democrats, and by
that means have been able to elect the
congressman. This year the republicans
are badly divided on account Of the
fight 10 turn down Congressman Reeder.
and a democrat stands a good chance Of
election.

A Modern HerOd and Slaughter Of Infants.
Joseph @. Sibley, a republican con
gresham of Pennsylvania, in a recent
speech on the Investigations of the
atrocities committed in the Philip
pines, and Gen Smiths order to ''kin
all over ten," expressed his condemn
alton in his usual vigorous manner,
as follows:
when 1 have heard the statement
made that we were cruel in the con-
duct of the war, have thought, per-
haps, the partisan was speaking. But
when I have read, as have within the
last forty-eight hours. that a general
wearing the uniform of the army of
the United States, one who stands un-
der the shadow Of our army, issues
orders not to cOncilliste a province
but to leave it a bowling wilderness
and to kill all above ten years old, then
It seems to me that humanity must
have marched backward for eighteen
centuries and that Herod again ap-
pears.
Il have read Of Timour the Tartar
have read of Achilles, have read of
the Saracen scourge, but I thank God
that since the tragic scene on Calvary
it has taken eighteen centuries to pro-
duce a Smith.
@I have read Of the water cure. Can
any man whose blood bounds in his
pulses, any man who has read his Bible
or who has been reared at the knee of
a Christian woman. justify the perpe-
tration Of such eruelties upon another
man who wears the guise and image of

his Creator? And yet We hear this
man attempting to justify acts By
which men are pumped so full Of water
as nearly to drown them and then
brought back to life by humping
them over the stomach with the butts
Of musketts.
This is not civilization, this is not
Christening the world I am thank
full that these are sporadic cases
Against that, as a man who belongs, I
hope, not alone to the republican
ranks, but to the whole brotherhood Of

the members of this house, on this side
of the chamber and on that, to voice
their protest against all such meas

MAY CHANGE DATE.
POPuIists Will Probably Hold State Con-
ventiOn May go Instead of
juno "a.

Topeka, April Considerable excite
ment has been produced here by the
report that the peoples party state com
mittee had been called together for the
purpose of changing the date of the state
convention to May 20, which will be two
days before the democratic convention
The members of the committee who can
be reached disclaim any knowledge Of
the movement, though some Of them are
non cOmmittaL- The object Of changing
the date Of the convention is to forestall
the action Of the democratic convention
and to nominate men on the populist
ticket who would be acceptable to the
