LET TIE TRUTH BE KNoKM

@%SA Il III ~ 4 Il DE- hSOHOs
There is a general demand in the press
Of the country that there should be the
fullest and fairest investigation of the
alleged cruelties in the Philippines. Not
an American worthy of the name would
have such barbarities inflicted on a help
less people in the name of the United
States, by men wearing the uniform Of
the United States soldier.
If such tortures as are alleged have
been inflicted it is high time the people
should know it, to the end that a sudden
and complete stop may be put to them.
If the allegations are untrue, no one
should be more lnsistent upon the real
truth being established than the army
officers who now stand before the country
charged with offenses so inhuman that
they almost pass belief.
This is q civilized nation and the rules
of warfare put a limit on the severity OF
treatment to which an enemy may be sub
jected. Under these rules torture and
murder and indscriminate burning are
for such an order as Gen. Jacob H. Smith
is sworn to have issued: xiii and burn,
and the more killing and burning"
done, the better it will suit the general.
-Four or more officers of the United States
army have sworn on the stand that the
order was issued. In addition, it was
sworn by several witnesses that forms Of
torture rivaling the fiendshness of the
dark ages were employed to extort in
formation from captured natives 1t was
sworn that prisoners were deliberately
murdered, for there is no other word to
describe the putting to death of prisoners
without benefit of trial and formal execu-
ton.
While the evidence in support of the
charges seems overwhelming, yet many
conservative people will withhold judg-
ment until there has been time and oppor-
proof is not forthcoming, 7 h Glob
believes there will be such a revulsion CT
popular feeling that universal demand
for the withdrawal of all American troops
in the Philippines will be made, and that
no president will dare brave the order and
maintain an army in the islands, for che
people will believe other tortures are to
be inflicted and other murders to be COM
mitted.
Let the full truth be known.

A Missouri Solomon has reflected the
glory of the wise ancient in a recent de-
clsion. He decides that a schooltaaeher
may whip an unruly pupil. To those of
US trained under the old conditions this
VIII be a source of satisfaction. We have
neen prone to attribute the degeneracy OF
the day to the fact that the bows and
girls of the present have grown up ignor-
ant of the incentive to learning found In
a hickory switch sturdily welded; and to
regret that the tendency of the times was
to spare the rod, with the consequent
spelling Of the young ones.
The case in point was like this: An OBJ
stinate youth of Missouri extraction re-
fused obedience to his teacher, a young
and not unattractiye damsel, holding, we
doubt not, first grade certificate. After
the statutory amount of patience had
been exhausted, with no sufficient results.
the fair schoolma am proceeded to show
him. The recalcitrant was brought be-
fore the assembled school and walloped
with vigor. The Inundated father brought
suit to recover mental and punitive dam
ages, alleging loss of time of the boys
services in the wood yard and some out
lay for arnica and other popular emol-
lients.

have their faults, most of them very seri-
Gus ones. The fact of the matter is that
really no preliminary persifiage or exple-
tive is needed. Americans are busy peo-
pie, else they wouldn't need telephones,
and busy people should want to go to
the meat of the subject at once. If one
calls up some person and is answered by
some person the thing first desired is to
know whether the person wanted is actu-
ally at the other end of the wire. Then
the most natural thing would seem to
be to say simply Miss Jones?" or Or
Anderson" and being answered in the
affirmative to proceed directly to the dis
cussion of the subject for which the tele-
phone was called into use.

It is often the Iittls things in this
world that develop into riots, revolts Or
revolutions. Somebody who wasn't busy
working for his living at Hammond Ind.
or the neighboring place. Chicago, reach
ed the conclusion a few weeks ago that
the word hello" as a telephone greeting
was harsh and abrupt and several other
things that are not good for the ear or
the mind. At once there were echoes
from all over the United States that this
view was correct and that hello" must
be cut out of the Introductory remarks
over the wire. Warm Endorsements came
in from Seattle, Suwanee river. Kala-
mazoo, Oshkosh, and dozens of other
places, but when it came to suggesting
a substitute there was division wide

formal, but if the eighty odd million peo-
pie of this nation each have a different

not bad one-is that the opening. remark

"WHAr,S THE MATTER FIFTH XIV

SAS2"
When some years ago William Allen
White wrote an essay on the topic
Whats the Matter With Kansas ~
Kansas and neighboring bailiwicks were
thrilled and White became famous in an
afternoon. The production was a mixture
of fact and fancy clothed in language of
literary strength and beauty, the gist Of
which was that the home of John Brown
and Jerry Simpson was all right. But.
dear reader, did it never occur to YOU
that as a matter of current history Kan.
sas is generally all wrong? Sometimes it
is one trouble and sometimes another, but
the sun seldom shines on Kansas a
straight week without some sort of a
wall going up from that commonwealth.
Kansas has had more droughts, more
bhstering winds, more tornadoes. more
floods, more Carrie Nations, more fore
closed mortgages, more ultra-hot sum-
mers, more extra-cold winters, more ept-
denies and more funerals than anv state
of its size from Eastport, Me-, to San
Diego, Cal. Kansas is pessimistic to a
degree and is ready at any moment to
discount the future with a prediction Of
bad news.
Kansas is again in a serious mood. It
announces that it has had no rain worth
considering for a year and that if there
is not a downpour of water pretty soon
the 65,0O 600 bushel wheat crop upon which
it had set it's heart would dwindle to a
paltry 100000 bushels. So it is that
Kansas is busy talking about blowing up
thousands of acres of winter wheat or
turning the cattle into it for pasture. OF
course, there is no special reason for be-
lieving Kansas will not have rain and in
ample time, but it is Kansas way.
Kansas should be taught the lesson of
cheerfulness. Hope springs eternal in the
breast of the Missourian Why not in that
of the Kansan? Kansas would see a great
deal more sunshine if it would spend more
of its time looking for it.

COMMISSIONER WARES HANDICAP


Following the example of Secretary
Hay, who when he became a political fig
ure of some prominence began to cease
referring to Little Brooches" and Jim
Bludsoe'' as children of his muse, Eugene
T. Ware, the new commissioner of pen
sions is trying to hide in a spacious gar
ret some Of the kittenish productions of
his imagination written under the
pseudonym "Ironquilr' some years ago.
Many of Mr.. Wares rhymed illusions
have merit and he has reason to be
proud of them, but occasionally somebody
gives him the horrors by pulling a canto
or so of his early-day doggerel. Here,
for instance, is one which gives the
Kansas poet nightmare about twice a
week:
Each second a sucker is born
In the world outside of Kansas.
We've got to acknowledge the corn,
Each second a sucker is born;
But we laugh the fact to scorn,
And we don't care where it lands US.
Each second sucker is born
But he is not born in Kansas"
This, it will be readily seen, is not dig
nified sentiment, not the best English,
and, worst of all, is not and never was
the truth. Mr.. Ware evidently in his
editor days had a bit of space to fill one
day and wrote this triolet to stop the
void. History does not record whether
or not he lost his subscription list If he
didn't, he didn't get what he deserved.
However, Mr.. Ware, in spite Of the
handicap, may make an acceptable
pension commissioner. 1t has often oc-
Cured that bad verse maker has proved

DEWEY DECLINES TO GO VEST

DEWEY DECLINES TO GO VEST.
Admiral Dewey, who did some shooting
everlastingly to his credit at Manila and
some talking everlastingly to his credit in
the Schley naval inquiry, isn't going to
be caught in the Funston ointment at
Denver Yesterday the old hero of the
sea sent this laconic telegram: do not
intend going to Denver at this time" Not
that Dewey has not the time to go to
Colorado or anywhere else he likes he is
at leisure to go East, West or South, but
he is too wise to mix in" at the Denver
LIST of May affair.
The big Western town had prepared for
a celebration which should take in both
a naval and land hero. This in itself
is an entirely appropriate act, but Dewey
takes this occasion to say without words
that Funston is a good man to look at
from distance. That he is a brave
soldier he has too often proved to gain
say, but when it comes to rostrum talk
we are in the midst of a totally different
story. When Funston gets on his feet
he is at once "off his feet" He shouts
and roars, but there is so little of dignity
or even horse sense in what he says that
his best friends are forced to blush for
him.
If an hour should arise when Dewey
could manipulate a sea force in aid of a
land force under Funston he would no
doubt do it with emphasis and success.
but when there is nothing on hand for thA
two to do but get garrulous before an
audience the admiral bows low and begs
to be excused.

SONG OF THE PATH.

Just until the May snow comes,
Seeming all the sweet spring day,
Let us walk together, dear,
Hand in hand, little way.
Just until the May snow falls
In the still fields. let US meet;
Let me walk and know you near,
Shadowy through the petals, sweet.
Just until the June flowers blow
All, tbs such a little While!-
Let my heart delight to beat
To the music of your smile.
Till the harvest moon-till then
Let us stay. When the peoples die,
Crushed and crimson in the corn,
We can bear to say goodbye.
