THE EFFRONTERY OF LODGE.
Virtual Confession of Atrocitie. of American Soldiers in the
 Philippines.

Senator Lodges defense of the atrocities perpetrated in the Philip pine islands is notable indeed for it's evasiye hypocrisy. The atrocities themselves he dares not defend, but he abuses the people who have ex- posed them and insisted on their re- pression. says the Indianapolis Sen tinel With calm effrontery Mr. Lodge said:
 "lt 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 it's face seemed re- voltirg. But there must be some reason for these alleged cruelties''
 Here iS an admission of the fact of torture and of revolting orders. He regrets them. So does every Ameri- ran. He says there was reason" for them. Every American knows that. We went out to fight people not fully civilized and who have for years been engaged in bitter and cruel warfare. They know no other kind. We knew what to expect of them. btit We profess to be civilized and we are under the obligation of civilian ton to abjure barbarism, especially in an effort to force civilization and liberty oh an unwilling people.

HE LOOKED DIFFERENT.
The Barber Had Shaved Him Before, Hut Failed to Recognize His
 Healed Face.

A Ninth street barber owns up that the following experience was his own less than a month ago. An actor from neghboring theater dropped in one afternoon to be shaved, and seemed disinclned to talk. The barber, says the Philadelphia Times, is be lever in the theory of his tribe that conyer sation makes the process . shaving easier for the shavee-that the time seems to pa ss more quickly if the customer can be inter ested in this or that topic for the few neces sary minutes He tried the actor on the weather, the beef trust, the asphalt scandal and the new filtration plant without sue cess. Then, just to keep things going, hs asked:
 You have never been shaved in here be fore, have you, sir?"
 "Oh, yes," replied the actor. T was in here once when we played across the street about IS months ago-in the beginning oi last season, 1t was.'
 Strange that I don't remember your face commented the barber.
 Well, you see, came from his victim my face has healed up since then"

 When the republican politician is driven into an attitude of defense you can safely depend on his taking refuge behind the soldier. If there is anything the republican party does pride itself on it is the possession of all the patriotism of the eountry.-In- dianapolis News Ond).
 There is good reason to believe that the evil of trustism is to bring its own cure in the near future. The beef trust is doing more to crush the monopoly combines of which ii is a typical example than any other in- fuence. Public sentiment has reached a point of hostility to the trusts that makes extremely doubtful long con- tinuance in power of the political party which created and fostered and now protects the trusts.-St. Louis Re public

THE VITAL ISSUE IS TRUSTISM
PubIic sentiment Is Being Awakened by Such Things as the Beef
 Monopoly.

Senator-elect German, of Maryland, stands with the majority of the Amer jean people in his belief that the beef trust has made trustism the issue of the congressional campaigns by aroue- ing this country to full realization 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 ominously illus tratlng 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 thi. advance has caused suffering and de privation. says the St. Louis Republic Even to the rich who were not com pelled to deprive themselves of meat because of these high prices, a lesson ha. been taught that has logically and rightly created the deepest res sent ment against the monopoly combines.
 The developments following investi- ration of the beef trusts method of business. constitute the most formida- ble indictment of the trust evil. They show that the cattlemen who sell to

DOMESTIC ABILITY.
The Girl from FtoIAnd Had . Untaus Speciality Tn the Line of

bright sunlight falling on its thick fur. which is like soft plush and colored olive brown and olive yellow.
 The kinkai ious come from the tropic forests of Mexico, Central America and South America, and they are rare ly seen in mpnageries. They are night providers and tree dwellers, and live on fruit, birds, honey and small ami mals.
 The kinkaiou is a little smaller than a cat, with a body about 21 inches in length and tail longer than this With it's long tongue it can pull to it things which it cannot reach with it's paws, and it is able to sit on its hind quarters ard feed itself with its "hands." As might be guessed from its habits, it is a relative of the raccoon. The kinkajou are easily tanned and very atfectionate. and it is strange that more of them have not been imported as interesting pets. However, Belgian hares were long time coming. so there is still time for enterprising animal dealers to make a lot of money by creating a de- mand for kinkajous.

OWLS CATCH FISH.
Collection Found in the Nest of One of the Horned Variety in the
 New York Mountains

"Naturalists have long questioned the fact insisted on by woodsmen and rural anglers that the horned l owl catches fish, said 0. W. Cowles, of Sullivan county. As long as can remember l have heard woods men declare that the horned owl was not only among the wild ceratures that make prey of fish, but that IL was one of the most destructive oi those enemies of fish. l have always taken their word for it against the declarations of the book naturalists that 1t could not be true, although I never had any evidence of it's truth beyond their word until few days ago.
 One of my men working in the woods near the headwaters of the Beaverkill last week discovered horned owl in dead tree, and saw that its nest was i'll the tree. The man climbed the tree to the nest, the owl, futtering away to another tree. where it sat after the half blinded, dazed manner of it's kind in daylight, blinking at the invader of it's home.
 The nest had been at one time crows nest. Owls make no nests of their own, but appropriate any old nest they come across. In this nest were two young owls, nearly full fledged.
 What interested my man more than the nest and the owlets in it was the other contents of the nest, which, besides three mice, a rabbit, a rat and grouse. were an eel, one brook sucker and three trout, one of the latter brown trout ten inches long. All of these were plainly of tho providing of the night before, for none of them had as yet been | touched
 My man brought the two young | owls and the fish home to show to doubting Thomases that the horned owl does catch fish. If it does not, what or who caught the fish that were in this ones nest? As to the manner of the horned | owls fishing, old woodsmen say that 1t watches at night along the creek | shores, and grabs the fish from the water with one of it's grappling-hook | talons. George Dodge, an observing | lumberman and fisherman, says he saw one of these owls. just at dusk one day, fishing in that way on the Nillowemoc creek, and it caught 9 | trout while he was watching it"-N | |.

THE FUNNY KINKAIOU.
Little Creature from the Tropics Which Climbs It's Tail Just ax
 It Would a Rope

This funny little animal is known by the name kinkajou. The picture is not upside down, as would appear at first sight, but the creature is performing a very common feat of hanging from a branch of tree by it's tail. When it gets tired of its position, says the Lit tie Chronicle, it doubles up, grasps it's tail and climbs the odd rope, sailor fashion, hand over hand, to the branch. While suspended the kinkajou seems afraid that it's tail will "come un- hooked" so it keeps tight grip on it with it's hind feet. Very beautiful the animal in the picture looked, with the

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, competitor 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 unbrollen monopoly in the buying and selling of meats.
 This teaching of the inevitable oper- ation 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 Y 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 op- pressive tyranny of the monopoly trusts

of alleged cruelties and 10 punish any found guilty of atrocities MT. Lodge made I warm defense Of the secretary of war, asserting that in the long list of distin- guished men who had occupied that office there never had been an abler. more public spirited or more patriotic man than Sec retary Root"
 Yet it is but a few weeks since Sec rctary 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 marked severity But for the eff 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 ther gives Senator Lodges state ment:
 All of us he said. want to see justice done-we want to see those guilty Of atroei- 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 inn aginc 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.
