XIII AND BURN.

Kill and burn," was the or
der given by Gen. Jacob H.
Smith, who is in the Philippines
carrying on the war for human
ity. To kill all recalcitrant Fill
pinOs over ten years of age and
to burn their homes seem a
rather harsh measure for this
@Christian nation to adopt in
it's efforts to 'benevOlently ASST
milate'' the natives. 1t is an
nounced that Smith will be tried
by a cOurt-martial for having
issued his barbarOus order.
Smith may be punished, but 1T
will not stop the butchery in the
Philippines. This country has
made up its mind to hold on to
the islands and the atrocities
have just begun. There are ten
or twelve million people in the
Philippines and they must be
subjugated. 1t isn't the soldiers
who are to be blamed. They
are sent there to kill and kill
they must. They are over there
on no pleasure trip. They are
there to wage a cruel war against
a people whose only sin is that
they prefer death to submission
to a foreign yoke. The soldier
who shoots down a poor defense
less Filipino may be the un-
willing instrument of the govern
ment responsible for the mur-
der. When a fresh slaughter of
insurgents is cabled across the
ocean the American people need
not express any surprise. Gen.
Sherman said that war is hell'
and hell it is whether carried
on in the United States or the
Philippines.

The Children Cannot Wait.

Southern Education Notes.
The children of to-day will be
our men and women of to-
morrow. Their opportunity for
gaining knowledge is fast fleet
ing. Once it is gone. it will be
gone forever. They can't wait.
What we do for them must be
done quickly. The hope of Vir-
ginia rests and must rest upon
the education of her young peo-
pie. says the fredericksburg,
Va, Free Lance. Education is
the only means of elevating and
broadening the individual. The
constant elevating of the indivi-
dual through the process of edu-
cation is the only means by
which we can hope to elevate and
expand the business and social
interests of our State. The day
has passed when to simply know
something about the three RS -
will suffice. The world is moving
rapidly. Times are constantly
changing and with these changes
come increasing demands for
knowledge. Neglect the eGuca-
ton of the young to-day, and we
seriously handicap them for
the life tomorrow.

The news of fresh trouble on
the Philippine Island of Minda-
mao is alarming. It indicates
that the war is not over yet, and
that there is danger of severe
fighting, and great deal of it,
before the people of this island
are brought under American
rule. The dispatches sufficient
ly indicate the serious nature of
the situation. Mindanao is the
largest island in the Philippines
except Luzon, being far larger
than any of the others. Its in
habitants are principally Moham-
medans, and have the Moham-
medan belief that death in battle
insures them happy eternity,
so that they are most formidable
fighters. General Chaffee esti-
mates that their army can
muster 10000 men, of whom
600 are armed with rifles and
the rest with spears and bolOs.

close range which the Philippine
jungles enable their owners to
secure. If we have to conduct
a new campaign for the subjuga
ton of Mindanao, the end of the
war is not yet in sight. Daily

MA CHIMES AND BOSSES.

m n L H<NES INV Il DOoo<io
President Roosevelt's appoint
ment of James S. ClarkSOn to be
surveyor Of the port of New York
has surprised some people who
affect to believe that the rough
rider stands on SO high a plane
that he will not employ the
methods of the practical politi-
clan to secure a renOmlnatlOn.
President Roosevelt is simply
strengthening the machine with
which he expects to overcome
any opposition which may be
made to his nomination. With
Payne and Clarkson he will be
in position to meet Hanna and
Platt at their own game. The
talk that President Roosevelt
disdains to deal with the bosses
is all bosh. AS good and per-
haps better men have dickered
with politicians and we predict
that the strenuous New Yorker
will not be so devilish particular
about the methods if he finds
himself in close quarters.
Some years ago gentleman
was elevated to the gubernatOrial
chair as refOrmer who was ex-
pected to smash into smithereens
all political machines and to
make mincemeat of the bosses
and professional politicians. 1t
was feared that our unSOphiStl
Gated refOrmer would be un'
equal to the task of destroying
the machine and annihilating the
bosses. What happened need
not be told. Concealed behind
the unreserved simplicity of ou1
refOrmer was the finest political
generalship that was ever known
in Louisiana since the days OF
John Slidell. In his hands the
machine became the SmOOthes1
piece of political mechanism and
the once much feared bosses
were hardly able to enter the
kindergarten class of the new
school.
MOral-When you want tt
burst the machine and destroy
the bosses do not elect a re
former to office.
