The camp of instruction for the

ten days Of mimic warfare which has

The artillery fire was highly exciting,
the fire from the guns on the defense

brown brigade failed to see a company
hidden behind haysiack and the en-

company got lost in the woods and
did not get to the scene of the battle
until all was quiet. 1t was great
spectacle while it lasted, but it was
too short for the country people, who
were coming to the scene of the battle

The Whipping Post,

The Logansport police captain who
expresses the belief that a city whip
ping post would be the means OF
greatly diminishing drunkenness and
minor crimes speaks the opinions Of
many persons who perhaps hesitate to
utter theE so openly.
For 1T is not popular to approve of
the whipping post. Theorists and
sentimentalists so govern the day that
anything like force in correcting the
faults of young or old is frowned upon
They say 1t is brutal and degrading
and really shocking to the finer ia
stincts of humanity.
Nevertheless, there is reason to sus-
pect that there are few parents, even
among the protested believers in moral
suasion, who do not in cases of emer-
gency soundlv trOunce their own Of
Tending offspring and find the young
sters all the better for the discipline
In schools whipping is not allowed,
except under most rigid restrictions,
yet teachers almost Invariably assert
that it would be greatly to the ad-
vantage of certain pupils if the rod
were occasionally applied.
Why should not persistent offenders
against the law have touch of this
discipline? Some of them, wife beat
erS for example, could not be more
brutalized by it than they are already.
The fear Of such disgrace would act as
deterrent with many, as the Logan
sport captain says, and the results Of
such an institution might be genuine

Democratic Comment on Parker.

The Bee can say of Theodore Roose-
velt that the trusts do not want him,
while they do want Parker,
And it can say of the republican
platform that whenever there was any,
thing to be said on any public issue,
it said it. 1t did not hesitate, and
stammer and stutter and finally put
out a long farrago of'words, saying
much and meaning nothing; nor did
1t smother the question altogether, on
the ground that there were no votes
to be got out by injuring anybody's
feelings on either side.
The republican platform stands out
in the open and says: "Here ! am.
You can either take me or leave me. I"
In this world men cannot get all
they want, nor half they desire. They
must make a choice between what is
set before them:
And the Bee chooses Theodore
Roosevelt In preference to Alton
Brooks Parker.
1t chooses Roosevelt because, with
all his faults, he stands self-reliant in
his American manhood, independent.

1t opposes Alton Brooks Parker be-
cause he is not a free agent; because

with the existing law Oh tie three
great questions thatgmost concern the
American people. No one denies that
the nor etary systfm. fixed by republI-
can congress that were given authority
by direct vote Of the psople on a fest
question is satisfactory. No one denies
that the protective +sriff law row in
tie statutes, placed there by dire

had experienced taste of democratic

unexan pied prosperity. No one denies
that under tie legislation enacted
fort Q benefit Of the Philippe Is
lands, the Filipinos lave been given
q degree Of protection, peace and
material advancement such as they
never before enjoved.
Yet, with all these admissions,
comes the democratic patty and de-
mands change. The democrats want
to tinker with the tariff thev must do
somethlng, just for change. to undo
the work accomplished by the oppo-
sition party New legislation is de-
manded by them. The democrats are
potoriously weak on the money qnes-

announces himself for golt. But it
must not te forgotten that the party,
in convention assembled the high
court Of last resort for the settlement
of all questions OF party policy, re.
fused absolutely to go on RECORD for
sound money. 1t is reasonable to
conclude that the democrats desire
change Of law on the monetary sys-

Ouenly, in convention, they demand
change Of law on the Philippine
question. They do not offer ANYTHING
which is better than existing law,
which could possibly be constructed
to be in the real interest OF the Fill
pinoes, bat it is a change. Why should
we enter upon a period Of change. at
this time? There is nothing to gain
