Work for LOYAL Spies.

A special injunction is laid on com
manders to hunt down through loyal
spies secret sympathizers with and
contributors to the rebellion, many of
whom will be found among municipal
officers Gen. Bell says that Malver
and other insurgent leaders have die
tated elections of all town officials in
Batangas and Laguna, and these town
councils meet and pass resolutions de-
nouncing the insurrection, while Sc
cretly in forming the insurgents that
this is done under ccmpuIsion and sup
plying them with information. There
fore Gen. Bell declares that neutrality
should not be tolerated; every inhabit-
ant should be either an active friend,
or be classed as an enemy, and acts,
not words, must be made the test.
Chief and most important among the
class Of disloya1 persons, he says are
the native priests.
Treachery of Wealthy FiliDinos.
Gen. Bell declares that it is practic-
ally certain that every one in Batan-
gas and Laguna provinces is secret
enemy of the government and in active
sympathy with the insurgents. He or
ders that they be given no exemption
whatever, but be brought to trial
whenever sufficient evidence is obtain
able, and adds that even in the case Of
well-founded suspicion they should be
arrested to stop their further activity.
IT is frequently impossible, he says, to
obtain evidence against influential per-
sons as long as they are at liberty, but
once confined evidence is easily OBJ
tainable. Gen. Bell declares that the
apprehension and punishment Of one
individual official, wealthy man, or
priest is of greater Importance than
the punishment of hundred ignorant
persons. The wealthy and influential,
he says, are those against whom the
most energetic efforts should be di-
rected.

Restriction on Executions.

However, it is provided that there
shall be no executions without the APP
proval of superior officer. Command
ing officers are specially enjoined to
encourage young officers in huting
down the insurgents, and it is pointed
out that there is NO just cause for eX-
ceptional caution or apprehension in
attacking insurgent bodies wherever
found. At any rate, under existing
conditions, legitimate chances should
be accepted, says Gen. Bell, as excess
sive caution will do the army incalcu-
liable harm. The best defense against
the insurgent, he says, is to assume
vigorous offensive at once; to retire in
the presence of the enemy is hazardous
and discOuraging.

MARTIAL LAW IN BATkNGAS PROVINCE.
After Two Years, Strife in the Section
just South of Manila, American
General Is Convinced That Lenient

Washington, Jan. 21.-Having failed
after two years strife in subduing
the instruction in Batangas prov
ince, which lies just south of Manila,
and having satisfied himself that
lenient treatment of the insurgents
is productive of no good results, Gen.
j. Franklin Bell, the military COM
mander in that province, has deter
mined on the enforcement of the war
in the most vigorous and determined
fashion, involving RECOMMENDATION in
modified form, the application of
martial law in all directions, and the
unsparing pursuit and punishment of
the natives who act as spies and
traitors to the United States.

gents. The military officers are al
lowed to fix the price of necessaries
of life, and it is promised that the
people may return as soon as peace
full conditions are established.
Natives DO Not Want Peace.
This order is followed by a long
circular by Gen. Bell to his station
commanders, commenting on existing
conditions and giving them advice
how to proceed. 1t begins with the
statement that he shares in the gen.
eral conviction that the insurrection
continues because the greater part
of the people, especially the weather.
ones, do not really want peace. He
says it is regrettable that the inno-
cent must suffer with the guilty, but
the greatest good to the greatest
number can be best brought about by
putting a prompt end to the insurrec-
ton. Therefore he directs the APP
plication of general order No. 100, in
force during the civil war in the
United States, which practically re-
CARDS an insurgent as guerrilaynand
outside the pale of civilized warfare,
and subject to the death penalty,
wherever such insurgent does not en-
gage continuously in the war and OBJ
serve all the rules of war.

Harold Bauer, who will give a piano
recital Tuesday evening, April 1, in the
Unitarian church, under the auspices of
the Ladies' Thursday Musicale, is one Of
the most talked-about pianists in the
country this season. Mr.. Bauer is unique
in one respect for he has not been her
aided as monstrosity, either mentally or
physically. The high position he occupies
in the musical world has been won en-
tirely by his musicianly attachments.
Technically Mr.. Bauer is splendidly
equipped and the control he exercises over
his fingers is remarkable, but there is
something higher than technique in his
playing-poetry, warmth Of expression and
artistic Interpretation are pre- eminent.
Mr.. Bauer has appeared with all the
large orchestras in this country, and Is
an especial favorlte with the Boston SYM
phony orchestra. He will be heard with

before his appearance in Minneapolis.

GUN SHOE PROFITS
Their smallness Gives Pause to the
Galosh Trust.
REORGANIZATION TALKED OF
Where the Stock Once Paid Eight
Per Cent 1T Now Pays
Nothing.

Mild winters in the northwest have
made much trouble for the United States
Rubber company, Familiarity known as the
rubber shoe trust. The aggressive compe-
itition of the independent factories assist
ing in decline in prices, along with the
poor demand, has reduced dividends and
the reorganization of the trust is planned.
Northwestern dealers and those of near
.ly every northern state west OF the Al
tleghanies have had an unsatisfactory sea-
sons trade In cold weather wearing APP
parel of all kinds. This has been espec-
tally true of the rubber trade. In the
past five years general results have been
most unsatisfactory to the rubber shoe
makers. II the demand were big, the
trust would not be worried by the compe-
tition Of the independents, as the dealer
would be glad to get his order filled with
out being too critical as to the price.
Conditions have been the reverse, and in
order to hold the business the trust was
forced to make reductions in price. The
dividend record of the United States Rub
Der company's stock shows the effects of
such winters as the northwest has been
favored with since November last. The
company was organized in 1892. The
preferred stock paid 8 per cent from '93
till 1900. when the dividend was reduced
to per cent: Another bad winter and
hot competition brought this to 1 per
cent in January of last year, and none
has been paid since. The dividend on
common stock has not been higher than
2 per cent In years. a. .,.:....y-.,.
An effort is to be made by men repre-
senting the financial interests of J. p
Morgan to establish harmony of inter-
est agreement bet ween the combine and
the Independents which have been aggres-
'sively campaigning for western trade, and
also to effect q complete reorganization

TALKED OF O. THE Il TARIFF
TO FOURTH WARD REPUBLICANS
Il. 81. Walker Disguised the Effects
Of a Protective Tariff on
49, .'' Various Classes. ~

T. B. Walker addressed the Fourth
Ward Republican Club in the fourth ward
wigWam last evening on THE Protective
Tariff and Its Relation to the Question of
Capital and Labor" Mr.. Walker argued
at length on the advantage, which a pro-
tective tariff brought the workingman.
The free trade argument, that the tariff
benefits the few ais against the many, he
declared to be absolutely without founda-
ton. While the. tariff Drotected articles
that were made by a, few, its advantages
were SO distributed that the mass OF the
people we've benefited: Prptection for any
one article en1ists capital Id its manufac-
ture. This gave employment to skilled
labor, which gives a market to merchan-
disc and farm products. Prosperity in the
industry brought competition, which
meant more employment and higher
wages, and hence greater demand for all
products. This competition also resulted
in low prices for the article manufactured.
and the receipts went more and more into
labor. and not into the pockets Of the
manufacturer. In this way the tariff ben
Gifted the laborer. while some capitalists
were making money and Others losing.
MIR. Walker, taking up the question OF
the relations between capital and labor,
deprecated the practice of raising an issue
between the two, when there was no real
ground for antagonism. The capitalist
was one of the hardest workers in the
community. while labor was valuable in
proportion to the skill and mental exer-.
ton, employed in 1t. 1t was not to the
interest of either to antaognize the other.
Strikes were baneful, and If the laboring
man would husband his resources instead
of spending them in such struggles, he
would be better off in the long run.
Free traders, said Mr.. Walker, harped
on the statement that prosperity was a
Ivfd
advocated hard times. If that was their
ground for advocating free trade, then
they were going at it in the right way to
produce hard times.
In conclusion, Mr.. Walker showed by
charts the history Of the tariff from 1921,
indicating that during the low tariff peri
DDS large foreign debts were contracted,
and that during high tariff periods these
debts were reduced, and the country was
prosperous. The real danger to the coun-
try to-day, he said, was in organization
intended to control the industrial world.

THE STRENUOUS LIFE
Great Strain.

No one disputes Sthe fact that we are
living In rapid age; 1t Is rush, rush,
rush from morning until night, and COM
petition Is so, fierce that the struggle
does not cease until the machine is worn
out. Women, too, even when surrounded
by every comfort, become infected by the
common spirit. and what with their clubs
and many social duties, have no time to
give thought to their physical welI-being,
until they are suddenly brought to a sharp
realization of the fact that nothing in
their lives is SO important as attention
to correct, or rational living It may
surprise the readers to learn that women
are more prone to piles than men, and
IN most cases, because it is difficult to
impress upon them the Importance of
regular movements Of the bowels; irreg-
ularity means straintng at stool, and
straining means piles, with the certa inty

If there is complaint which entails more
distress and suffering upon those afflicted

effectually cures all forms Of piles; it is
known as the Pyramid Pile Cure, is in

that I was cured of very aggrava ting
case of itching and bleeding piles by the
use Of the great remedy Pyramid Pile

claimed there was no cure except by an
operation: I am well now, and owe all

WAKING UP
"THE FIELD" IS DEVELOPING
A Big Bunch of Candidates for Al
derman In the Second
Ward.

How to pick a candidate for alderman
this fall from the midst Of such an en-
barrassing wealth of material Is going
to he problem with the second ward re-
publicans. G. A. Moore, we'll known in
the real estate business and veteran
second warder, has announced his tnten-
ton to go after the nomination, and now
there are five in tho field. The others
are Alderman E. G. Chatfeld, who wants
a denomination; G. W.. Wagner, J. B.
Eustis and j. P. Gilmore, the druggist.
All are old-time residents. Messrs Wag-,
ner and Eustis are sons OF original home
steaders and the others can trace their
residence back almost as far. .Messrs
Eustiseand Chatfleld are graduates of the
university. .s.sf
The opposition to the denomination of
County Commissioner Sweet is beginning
to get active. John Maher, a fuel dealer
and veteran republican worker Of the
third ward, has given his friends notice
that he is in the field for the nomination.
There Is prospect that George HUM,
an old time resident of the Western ave-
nue. section OF the fourth ward, may
be candidate for the republican nomi-
nation. His friends are preparing to
move on him hard K
John Soika of the first ward Is the f1rst
candidate to file nomination papers with
the county auditor in preparation for the
next campaign. He made Official record
yesterday of his intentions to be can
didate for the republican nomination for
alderman. Soika has long been one of
the prominent republican stalwarts of that
ward. r.
Victor J. WEIGH is said to be a strong
probability as candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for county attorney. An
effort will be made to get the opposition
to County Attorney Boardman to unite on
him. e.
Davy B. Johnson, the former demo-
cratic spellbinder, definitely announces his
intention to go after the republican nomi-
nation for alderman Of the sixth ward.
