 Many people put aside all thought of an outing in Colorado because they are accustomed to consider this great est of American playgrounds as one of those impossible things beyond their means. Time was when a visit to the "top of the continent" was a great luxury, as high in price as in attitude, but not so today. You can spend the Summer or part of the Summer in Colorado and live as reasonably as you do at home, and the quick service and low tourist and excursion rates afforded via Rock Island lines bring the Rockies within your easy reach.

Araln Ronudlntes lIlmaelf.

The "massacre at Mount Daio," as
the reprchensiblo slaughter accompany
ing that sanguinary engagement has been
called. has aroused more criticism than
any other incident connected with our
most unfortunate and indeiensible mill
tary campaign against the people Of the
Philippines. History has been searched
for counterparts, and some searchers
supposed they had found an acceptable
one in Oliver Cromwells terrible mas
sacre Of the Irish garrison at Drogheda,
during the great Civil War which made
him Lord Protector Of all England
But the comparison is not an equal one.
All the defenders Of Drogheda we're not
put to death. There we're many cap
lures, Of whom Cromwell himself wrote:
"When they submitted their officers were
knocked on the head; and every tenth
man Of the soldiers killed; and the rest
shipped for the Barbados" Other pris-
oners we're sent 70 the Barbados, where
they we're sold for slave labor. And no
women or children we're killed by the
soldiers Of Cromwell
So It will be seen that there we're two
material points Of difference AT Drog-
heda many prisoners we're taken and no
women or children were killed; at Mount
Daio the last resistant WAS put to death
and women and children were among
the victims. For bloody butchery, there
fore, the dead Cromwell must yield the
palm 10 the living Wood
Cen Woods barbarous achievement, in
the eyes Of President Roosevelt, "upheld
the honor OF the American flag" But
Cromwells more merciful butchery, even
after the lapse of more than two centuries,
failed to draw forth his commendation.
In his "Life of Cromwell" the President
Indignantly execrates the Cromwelian
atrocities at Drogheda and Wexford, and
denounces the savagery" and "ferocity"
Of "war Of determination, as being
beyond tbe pale Of defence. While
Cromwells hypocritical plea that his
bloody work was to the glory Of God,
and an instance Of the Creators righteous
judgment upon these barbarous wretches
who have imbued their hands in so much
innocent blood"-what an admirably
fitting argument in support Of our Philip
pines policy--drew from Roosevelt, the
author the scorniul repudiation that
"No such plea can be admitted on behalf
Of peoples who have passed the stage Of
mere barbarism"
Yet the President indorses the infinitely
worse massacre at Mount Daio, and in it
sees the "honor OF the American flag
upheld.
