I'M THE PHILIPPINES.

This country has rarely been stirred
over any subject as 1t has OF late days
over the stories of cruelties practisen oy
our army in the Philippines. Granting
that there has been much exaggeration
and many faisehoods in connection with
the reports. there is enough of undenia-
HE truth to make US blush for our army
and our soldiers. General Smiths order
10 skill all above 10 years Of age" and
the administration of the water cure"
are two counts In the indictment which
must stand and cannot be explained
away.
That soldiers who are compelled to fight
savages are often carried away by re-
sentiment and at times initiate the bar
barnus methods of their opponents is true
enough, There were many incidents
connected with our war with the Semi
noles that cannot be defended and no
one now defends them. There were
numerous incidents connected with Sheri-
dams raids and with Shermans march
, through Georgia that were not in accord
ance with civilization. but thoughtful and
fairminded people do not now defend
those acts or excuse those who were res
rons;ble for them. 1t was part of the
cruelties OF war, to be forgotten. not
defended.
But 50 far as We have kept up with II
there has been nothing equal to the sys-
tematic barbarity of this water cure, as
practised on Filipino prisoners. This
method of torture, as all readers probably
understand, was to lay the prisoner on
his back and force water down his throat
till he was almost at the point of burst
ing and not infrequenty cord was tried
about his stomach in order to make the
roruture more excruciatlng. Now take
this paragraph from the sworn testimony
Of william Gibbs
The administration of the water cure,
he said. was common. 1t was generally
administered by interpreters or scouts
and dirty water was preferred to clean
water The men would go out from the
shore and get a mixture OF salt water
and sand and administer it in order to
make the punishment more severe.
1t must be kept in mind that this pun
ishment, II it is proper to call it by that
name, was not always administered to
those who had been guilty of cruelty or
treachery towards our troops. 1t was
frequently done in order to extort in
formation from natives, in other words,
to force them to become traitors. 1t is
that feature of the business which makes
II SO much more discreditable.
The Advertiser has had little to say
about these matters because the stories
have been so contradictory and there
have been SO many denials and cross
statements that it has been practically
Impossible to know what was true and
what was false. but 1t is impossible now
to ignore or disregard the evidence Allow
ing for the falsehoods and exaggeratons
and allowing for the temptations and
provocations, it is useless to deny that
there has been much misconduct on the
mart of our troops that is discreditablt
10 the army and to the country, and fol
which there is neither defence nor palia
ton.

Governor Hunt and his land
board propose to continue as far as
in their power the squandering Of
the state lands. They have recently
ordered the sale of 10000 more
acres Of Idaho timber. Notwith.
standing the fact that no property
in Idaho is advancing in price as
rapidly as the timber lands and
that when sold the land board has
no authority to invest the money
and that no investment that could
be made is equal to the investment
in the timber itself the board makes
another raid on the heritage of
state institution, and orders the
sale OF 10000 acres at price which
will be readily paid by the greedy
corporations that have fattened at
the crib while Governor Hunt
managed the affairs of Idaho.

Lewiston is expanding rapidly.
property values have 50 advanced
in the limits Of the city proper that
investors are seeking recent addi-
tons to secure cheap homes. And
since the city owns the water works
plant the question of supply to
non-residents Is very serious one.
The best solution to the problem is
to include the new additions in the
city without delay and a bill au
thorizing such an extension will
will be introduced early In the SEES
sion at the coming legislature.
Meanwhile the city is extending
its water mains into the outside
additions and having a contract
signed with the residents to include
the property In the city withou,
delay. When this is done the
value of outside property will be
very materially advanced and the
real estate market doomed, for many
residents now renters are waiting
till water is assured on the hill to
buy and improve homes.

1t appears that Chairman Don.
nelly of the democratic state com.
mittee made a faux ras when he
attributed democratic defeat in
Idaho to the influence of the Nor
mon church. He is being roughly
handled by the democrats Of the
Mormon counties who not only
deny the charge but prove it's
falsity and absurdity by other
comparisons. In point Of fact
there is less Of q political change
in the Mormon counties Of the
southwest and the north where
there could be no faint of church
influence. One writer pertinently
asks Of the chairman what in.
6uence caused the slump In his
home county. Kootenai, which
two years ago gave the democratic
ticket $50 majority and this time
gives the republican ticket over
$50 majority. a change Of 646
votes. Shoshone county is
another notable example of q pc
litical change not chargeable to
Mormon church influence. There
also a democratic majority Of
about 900 was changed into re-
publican majority Of about 600.
Lstah, Nez Perez, Idaho, Wash
ington and Owyhee show decided
republican gains showing that
Chairman Donnely's charge is
wholly unfounded and that the
state, outside of the Mormon
counties, Is decidedly republican.
In seeking to raise the old entago-
nistic feelings concerning the Nor.
mon church Mr.. Donnely acts the
part Of = demagogue worthy Of the
