Post which will be an antidote to mucl

To the editor of the Evening
Post-As on who has had some
experience in the necessities, us
ages and cruelties OF war, always
prevailing during a campaign in
an enemy's country, | am sur
prised at the position of your
journal and its bitterness against
the alleged action of Major
Glenn, Lieut.. Conger and Assist
ant Surgeon Lyon.
The testimony of Sergeant Ri
ley. upon which you base your at
tack on these officers, goes to
prove that they gave the water
cure to Filipino. who had been
presidente in one of the provinces
by our government, who had TAX
en- the oath of allegiance to our
country, and then used his official
position to cover his acts as cap
tain of an insurgent company
which was acting in arms against
our army and within our lines.

spy, and his every act was vio-
lation of the laws of war, and
branded him an outlaw and
guerrilla. If these are the facts
under the usages OF war these of
ficers were justified in what they
did; in fact. if they had shot the
traitor, they would never have
been called to account, and in all
probability this is what would
have happened him in the civil
war
An officer has great latitude
under such circumstances, and it
is not safe or fair to condemn one
for almost any act that detects a
traitor and spy in arms against
the government which he has
sworn to protect, and which has
put him in position of trust.
You ignore entirely this side of
the question, and only treat Ma
jor Glenn's acts as cruelties to
peaceful Filipino citizens. | can

"Mr. Johnson is filing lots of in

either the community was more
law abiding or the district attorney
less exacting. There
is one thing that passes the compre.

Edward R. Emerson, author of
STORY of the Vine,' has recently
published an attractive little book
called "A Lay Thesis on Bible Wines"
Mr.. Emerson. who is a maker of
wines, and thoroughly acquainted
with his subject, contends that "un-
fermented" wine cannot be produced,
as the fermentation of the grape juice
begins upon the slightest exposure to
atmospheric influence. and once start
ed, will contiue of itself. Mr.. EN-
erson's treatment of the subject is
practical and convincing. He con-
flutes the "two-wine" theory by luc-
in explanation of the scripture quo
tation, No man puts new wine into
old bottles" and proves, conclusively,
that if "unfermented" wine could, by
any means, have been produced in
Bible times, 1t is today, lost art
The advocates of temperance and
the believers in ''twowine" theory,
will find Mr. Emerson's book very in
teresting and instructive. A copy of
this work can be seen at The Her
aid office.

Tragic End That Came to Man

William Tucker. OF Vineland. N. j..
has quit joking. Until a few days ago
he was In the habit OF playing n kill
ing Joke on the engineers who run
on the West Jersey and Seashore rail-
road. Mr.. Tucker was lawyer, and
II was a delight to him To walk upon
the track OF the railroad mentioned
when he saw an express train APP
preaching. He would turn his back
and pretend TO be so deeply plunged
In thought as to be oblivious OF the
approaching train until II was within
twenty or thirty feet OF him, when he
would jump aside and wave his hat at
the Mortified engineer.
Mr. Tucker played this joke over
and over again on almost every engin-
Ger on the road. and at last seemed to
feel that he had been cheated out OF
something good II a day passed with
out giving him an opportunity 10 have
n laugh at some engineers expense.
A few days ago Mr.. fuckers
friends sadly gathered UP the few
pieces OF him that could be found
strewn along the track at the place
where he had been In the habit OF
playing his joke. He had played 1t
once too often, as the practical joker
always does. But the lesson OF his
fate win probably be overlooked by
the people who think practical jokeg
are funny. II is one OF their misfor-
tunes that they cannot learn. II they
could. and Mr. fuckers fate were
to turn any OF them from their fool
ish ways. his life would be sacrificed
in good cause.

Derivation Of "seoreher.'

Whence does the "scorcher" derive
his unhonored name? A recently pub.
lished Platonic dialogue On bicycles
suggests a resemblance to the sauir-
rel with Its rapid motion and the
clutch of its forepaws-and the Greek
squirrel called himself "skiouros."
Hence "squiourchers" or "scorchers."
You need not take this very seriously,
for neither the average scorcher nor
the policeman who tries TO arrest him
is familiar with Greek, says the Lon
don Chronicle. Webster In the latest
supplement notices the word, but
shirks the origin. To "scoroh" is to
ride very rapidly, especially on a
bicycle" After all II is probably only
an extension Of the common phrase
"the pace was hot"
