days. AS to whether or not the In
dian appropriation bill should pass,
Mr.. Burleson submitted the attitude
of President Roosevelt, before taking
and after taking the presidency, to-
ward the trusts. In reply Mr.. Hill
spoke for an hour in favor Of his sill
yer coinage bill. Mr.. Gillett excoriat-
ed Mr.. Wheeler for his constructive
discourtesy to Prince Henry and the
German vote. Still relative to the
Indian appropriations. Mr.. Cromwell
read a humorous poem, whose burden
was the alienation of the German
vote that would accrue to Wheeler
from his anti-German speech; Corliss
completed his long address on behalf
of the Western Unions opposition to
the Mackey Pacific cable; Hamilton
defended the trusts so as to draw
applause and laughter from both sides
of the house: Sulzer made a speech
carriers; Jackson addressed the house
in support Of direct election of Unit
ed States senators: Kern c~astigated
the majority for it's failure to sympa-
thize with the Beers. and Boutell trac-
ed at length the history of 'truculent
svcophancy" from the foundation Of
our government. Newlands, as the
last speaker of the day, gave his rea-
sons for opposing the Hill coinage
bill. The Indian bill having thus been
pondered DER and inwardly digested,
debate was closed upon it.
IN view of this spectacle of oratory
and deliberation, which for pertinence,
dignity and courtesy could hardly be
surpassed by the senate itself. let no
one h%enceforth charge that the house
is not a deliberate body. In numbers.
possibly. it's Wheelers do not COM
pare with the Tillmans, Duboises,
Masons, Wellngtons and Keans of the
upper house. But it has cleared it.

prompt in the dispatch of public bus

resentative would have reason to ex-
rect. A squadron of warships well
coined him in New York and national
guards, soldiers and sailors have es-
corted him here and there. Arriving
at the national capital he found the
route from the depot to the white
house lined with soldiers, while po-
licemen by the score$uarded his royal
parsonage.
All this. the Journal declares, must
have bored Heinrich. He came over
to see what we had and in the opinion
of the Minneapolis newspaper critic
would probably have preferred such a
minimum Of entertainment as would
evidence the friendship of the govern
ment and the people, leaving him the
leisure and freedom that a private
citizen has when visiting a foreign
country. Instead Of seeing the things
he wanted to see and learn something
of Americas greatness. the Journal
declares, he will go back without hav-
ing eel much of anything except a
lot of awkward militiamen in ill fit
ting uniforms, a lot of city, state and
national officials and with the recol-
lection of ar endless string of many
course dinners and the memory of
speeches that would lust as we'll not
have been delivered.
But what seems to gravel the Jour
nal most is the fear that, after all.
we may be laughed at by Heinrich
and his brother when the two get to-
gether in the kaiser's schloss and
talk the matter over and between
stems give their unreserved opinion
of the many different kinds of fools
we can make of ourselves when we
really and seriously start out in that
direction. 1t is also inclined to be sus-
picious of the way our entertainment
of the kaiser's brother will be regard
ed by the other nations of Europe.
To show how they feel it reproduces a
paragraph from the Paris Temps, in
which it is broadly limited that Will
helm played the president and took
advantage of paternal pride in his
daughter by treating the young Miss
Roosevelt as a princess of the blood
royal and striking while the iron was
hot to gain a point. Just what that
point is, neither the Temps MOI the
Journal are to explain.
Sorely as the Journal says it feels
at the violent shock given by the
princes reception to our traditions
of stern republican simplicity and
much as they have been set back,
for all that it draws a little ~consola-
ton from the circus and believes that
it will not be entirely without good
results. These good results will have
been attained, it says, by the depres-
sing effect the affair will have on
Anglomania, which has been epidemic
in this country since the war with
Spain. "The country" it says, "will
benefit by the royal show if it comes
to learn that England is not the only
nation whose good will we need and
should cultivate"

TRAIL OF THE %PRAeoART.

| He% @
Minneapolis Journal: The soldier
in the Philippines who delights in
writing to his relations and friends at
home long and realistic accounts of
the cruelties inflicted upon natives
by American soldiers has made a good
deal of trouble. His letters. get into
the newspapers and clippings are sent
to army officers, congressman, wal de-
partment officials and the president.
Then the red tape begins to unwind
and Investigations are made. In the
course of some months back comes
reports from the Philippines stating
that Private Longbow says he wrote
the letter referred to just to entertain
the folks at home with a little fiction
and that he never dreamed that it
would be published. Committees Of
congress also become aroused, grave
fears are entertained that our sol
diers in the Philippines have develop
ed into bloodthirsty, cruel and vindic-
tive demons, the secretary of wal is
called upon for information, the print
ing presses begin to run and docu-
ments come forth by the ton to prove
that IL soldiers are doing as we'll as
could be expected.
The water cure torture is a ia
vorite theme with these martial pre-
varicators. One of them who claims
to have been with General Funston
in the Philippines says that he per-
sonally administered the cure to 100
Filipinos, all but 26 of whom died.
General Funston says, regarding this
yarn, that it is an a%trocous lie. Ter
rible stories have been sent home
regarding the outrages alleged to
Macabebe scouts. Lieutenant Batson
nails them all to the wall in a brief
letter, in which he shows that his
scouts were welcomed by the natives
an account of their kind and consider
ate treatment of them. Many other
letters home" as we'll as the boasts of
returned soldiers have been investi-
gated by the war department with sim
liar results. This is not saying that
there has not been cruelty and injus-
tice to the Filipinos from soldiers.
But wherever such offenses haye been
reported they have been followed by
the trial and punishment of the Of
tenders. There have been forty-six
such trials and the death sentence
has been imposed in many cases. War
is a brutal business and it brutalizes.
1t is not surprising that our soldiers
have committed some crimes against
person and property, but when we con
slider the scores of soldiers who have
been assassinated or tortured, the
thousands Of friendly natives who
have suffered those fates at the hands
of the insurrectos we can we'll believe
the official reports that the kindness,
discipline and general good conduct
of the Amerisan soldiers in the Phil
ippines amaze all European observers
and the natives themselves.

is the only cause to which can be at
tributed the failure of any definite
movement in the direction of an ac-
co%mplishment all would hail with
pleasure and satisfaction because of
the good to the community that would
be bound to follow. If those who have
made their money here and are still
adding to their wealth really desire
to see Billings continue the growth
and success which have thus far mark
ed it as a community they must be
willing and ready to do their share
toward such a possibility. There is
a limit to the resources upon which
we have so far depended for our sue
cess and prosperity, and in the
logical sequence of events that limit
will be reached, probably sooner than
any of us care to contemplate. Al
ready n Of our great industries has
reached that limit and is now, in COM
pliance with the laws of nature, on
the wane. if the expression may be
used. Reference is had to the cattle
industry, for the day of the "big" con-
Germ is passed. Because of natural
| environment the time is speeding
when even our agricultural resources,
great as their possibilities may now
eem to us. will also reach the end of
their capacity. Because of the die
culties that have to be overcome by
necessarily elapse before the section
tributary to the city can be settled to
it's full extent, and we must not build
too much upon the possibilities of
good that will inure to us as a COM
munity by the development Ct our
farming regions.
Stagnation in commercial and other
business affairs is bound to ensue I'M
less something is done to nelp mat
tiers along. We should not always be
content to depend upon the "outside."
On the contrary, we should rut forth
every effort at our command to help
ourselves. No surer or be ier way of
helping ourselves can be adopted
than by the promotion and encourage
ment of manufacture. While we
should at all times be prepared to Of
fer reasonable aid and assistance to
those who may signify willingness to
come and share their lot with us, we
should not be satisfied with this
alone. Let us help ourselves and by
our acts give proof to the outside Of
the confidence we have in our com
munity and others will come.
