 Ioar is a dear old gentleman whose heart is overfiowing with kindly feel ings for everybody except the Aneri- can soldier. He is always ready to fear that any discreditable rumor concerning our soldiers Is true. The senator seems to forget that the sol diers composing the regular army of the United States represent almost every county in the union. and that no better type of the American citizen can be found anywhere. The benevolent senator prefers to believe that the re- specta ble citizen, when he enlists in the army, becomes a worthy object of suspicion. He seems to take delight in believing that the coarse stories set afoat concerning our boys in blue by the Filipino junta at Hong Kong are true, and his heart is moved accord ingly.

 the Divine blessing on the reporters
