Philippine Cruelties Not Con-
doned.

Like a far echo from the East of
President Roosevelt's ringing words
to Bishop Lawrenc Il" No provocation,
however great, can be accepted as an
excuse for misuse of the necessary
severity of war, and, above all, for
torture of any kind or shape"-is the
comment of the reviewing authority
in Manila upon the verdict of the
courts-martial in the cases of Major
Waller and Lieut.. Day.
The finding suggestSsom palliation
OF Major Walters offense in his feeble
physical condition at the time it was
committed, but insist that, instead OF
assuming powers conferred upon a
commanding officer only in time of
war;" he should have communicated
his grim intentions by telephone to
Gen. Smith-the same "Hell-Roaring
jake" by the way, under whose "kill
and burn" orders Major Waller was
too literally acting.
"The sending of the natives in ques-
tion to their death, the finding states
s'partook more of unlawful relations
than just act of war;" Major Wal
Ter shou not have been found guilty
of murder. But, the comment con-
tinues:
The reviewing authority is at a loss
to understand why the court did not
find against Major Waller in the mi
nor offenseS. With the exception
noted, the acQuittal, as it appears in
the records of the proceedings, is dis
approved.
For carrying out Major Walters
orders Lieut.. Day is also censured. He
should, by fatty disobeying his COM
manding officer, have averted from
the service deep disgrace. Undoubt-
edly. And as the disgrace would have
been doubled by condonement, we
may congratulate the army that all
prospects of such failure of military
justice seems now fortunately past

could POSSIBLY DO. Steak at 25 cents a
pound is the price that staggers hui
manity.' It is the anti-climax of 1.-The
full dinner pail" The subtleties of the
economists will be swept away like
cobwebs when people are forced to
weigh them against lean larder and
pinched bill Of fare.
History abounds with illustrations
Of the fact that whoever and whatever
interfere between man and his meals
invite disaster. The French revolution
began with a cry for food under the
windows Of the kings palace. 1t was
the bread riots of half-fed England
that forced a tory government to re-
peal the taxes on corn in very fear Of
what might happen If it did not. The
American people, having always been
the best-fed people in the world, will
resent all the more tiercely the arti-
fetal dearness and scarcity OF food
which the trusts are conspiring to Gre
ate.
II there is any practical remedy for
this piratical raid on the peoples food
supplies in the federal antitrust laws
President Roosevelt and Attorney Gen
eral Knox cannot move to apply 1t too
quickly. "The full dinner pail" was
conquering cry. "I'he empty dinner
plate" would be still more decisive
slogan. Prosperity" will lose all it's
spell-binding power If the trusts are
able to maintain extortionate prices on
meat, poultry, butter and eggs and put
the people on short food allowance
amid the overlooking plenty of the
most plentiful, land on which the sun
shines.

Do Not Crowd the chicks,

Crowding is bad in any stage of a
fowls existence. Perhaps it is worse
in the case of young chicks, whose
hold on life is very light at the
start. The brood that is watched
over by the old hen seldom is crowd
ed enough to be injured. Not so the
brooder chicks. The amateur that
has few incubators is very likely
to try to save space in the brooder
OF rather, to make one brooder dc

are brought together disease germs

rapidly accommodating filth. Bad air
also helps matters along.-Farmers'

Kinley administration was at all

public was tolerant in view Of the
genuine personal friendship existing
between the late pres ident and tie
chairman of the republican commit

Recipe for a Rural Play.

A canvas barn, a painted tree,
A slow New England drawl;
4 large square room, with two or three
Worked notices on the wall;
A hint of wicked city life
BY some one in the cast,
Who plays an honest farmers wife
With something of a past.
A man from town whose shirt is clean,
And has at least two suits.
To brighten up the rural scene,
OF overalls and boots;
A COW, if one can be secured;
A soft-nosed mare named Bess,
\ dog or two, and you're assured
Unqualified success.
Just take these few ingredients
And mix them as you may
And keep them free from common sense
You'll have a rural play.

last year.

Reports Of the hay crop are very favor
able, an improvement in condition being
noted during June in nearly every impor-
tant hay producing State. The rains Of
the past two months have been very ben
eficial to pastures and their present con-
dition is excellent, nearly every important
State reporting a condition considerably
above the ten-year-aVerage.
While there has been a general decline
in the coalition of apples and peaches
as compared with last month, reports OF
these fruits from almost every important
State indicate that more than an average
crop of each of them will be harvested.
The condition of grapes Is very good and
it is quite probable that the crop Will
be as large as that of any ordinarily good
