The Escaped Convict.

There will be no dissent from the Presi-
dents acquiescence in the petition Of the
people of Kansas City for the pardon of the
man who escaped jail years ago and has
since been living a reputable life as pros
porous business man in that city. It was
of course, wrong for him to break his bonds
and run away. He should have stayed out
his term. 1t could have done him no great
harm to remain little longer and leave
prison with at least the clear record of
good behavior. But he has amply squared
his accounts since by living decently and
lawfully and by maintaining himself in the
world by honest means. He has applied adj
vantageously the lesson administered to him
by the law, and his pardon is by no means
calculated to weaken the force Of the stat
utes against theft. 1t Is cited to his credit
that he has never attempted to cast a
vote since his escape. A fellow-prisoner at
Leavenworth having. recognized him, he
was arrested and hailed back to prison
The man who thus caused the exposure of
the escaped convict Is today generally exc
Grated. so whimsical Is the public senti-
ment in such matters The petition of thou
sands of people for the grant of pardon
effectively demonstrates that the prison
stigma Is not regarded today as a bar to a
man who Is trying to live a righteous life
This Is wholesome sign, encouraging the
belief that eur punitive methods may some
day be reformed and prisoners cured Of
their evil propensities instead Of being hard
ened into confirmed lawbreakers. Much de-
ponds upon the public In this respect II
the world will give the released convict a
chance he will probably acquit himself
fairly.

to their PAGES. Yet they persist In turn
ing to the left and rounding corners In q
manner to endanger life. simply because
they are willing to take chances with the
law In the matter OF speeding. They know
there are SO few policemen that the num-
Der Of arrests Is small compared with the
violations.
It Is question whether the corner-cut-
tiers or the scorchers constitute the great
est menace to life on our streets. Both OF
these offenders against the regulations
ignore the elementary rule of the road
which gives the pedestrian the right Of
way at street crossings. It 10 the excep-
tion when q vehicle Is slackened In pace In
passing crossing. Heads up!" is the cry
from the drivers seat, and the man on
the pavement must hustle for himself.
Major Sylvester may not have q sufficient
force at present to establish the bureau
he desires, but he can perhaps stimulate
his men to q little more activity In warn
Ing and arresting the reckless. ignorant
or Indifferent drivers who now speed their
way through the streets regardless Of con-
sequences.

Nine Years Aeo.

Today Is the ninth anniversary of the
battle of Manila bay, a conflict that
wrought a great change in the career OF
the United States as world power How
ever unforeseen may have been the events
which followed, those in authority in 1898
were by no means unaware of the imme
diate possibilities of the program which
caused Commodore Dewey to hold his
ships at Hongkong. where he had as
sembled his force of the Asiatic squadron
during the latter part of February. 1t ia
nows well understood that the policy of
strengthening and providing these Sims
with ammunition was urged upon the gov
eminent by Theodore Roosevelt then as
sistant secretary OF the navy In view
OF the more Immediately interesting events
close at hand the operations In the ~Asiatic
waters were almost forgotten by the pub
lie. Only languid interest was taken
in the report that Commodore Dewey had
been ordered by the British government to
leave Hongkong. although war had not
then been formally declared. When Presi-
dent Mckinley issued proclamation of
war Dewey sailed from Hongkong for
Mrs bay, a neighboring harbor, and there
prepared for his work. The government
ordered Dewey to attack and destroy the
dangerous this force might be to Ameri-
can shipping in the Pacific. In any event.
the Philippine Islands were Spanish ter
ritory. and as such were open to attack as
a means of weakening the enemy Further
more, Dewey was far from home and
needed a harbor for his ships. What bet
ter shelter offered than Manila bay? There
Is no possible ground In reason for the
criticisms that have been directed against
the United States for its policy of carry
ing the war Into the Pacific Dewey's
dash across the South China sea was
legitimate, necessary maneuver. Boldly con-
ceived and perfectly executed
When the first news OF the engagement
In Manila bay arrived. nine years ago to-
day. after the first wave of national ex-
uitation came a feeling OF apprehension,
For the first time In q great many years
an American naval force had engaged. a

as to the cost of the victory. 1t was
hoped that II would be Hight. The early

reports, relating the destruction of the
Spanish feet. Indicated such a heavy fire
that the people dreaded lest the details
would bring tidings Of a heavy sacrifice
of life on the victorious side. Commodore
Deweys prompt action In cutting the cable
held OF all details for days. 1t was not
until one week after the battle, on the
It'll of May. that the astounding news came
that not a single life had been lost in
the engagement. This remarkable dis
parity Of results was perhaps the first
revelation to the world of the great superb
ority not only of the American ships and
guns. but of the American gunners as
well. A short time later, early In July,
the demonstration was repeated, OF SAM
tiago when the fleet under Admiral Samp-
son destroyed the Spanish vessels fleeing
from harbor. and with the loss of only a
single American seaman.
In the nine years that have elapsed since
the Dewey victory momentous changes
have occurred. and the country has settled
down to an acceptance Of a new RESPONSE
b.iity. Our undertaking in the Philippines
was necessity and our performance has
been remarkably successful in the main.
We have solved problems there which have
sorely tried the temper of the people and
tested the capacity Of their administrators.
We have rescued the islands from state
of political desolation and have reduced
them to a basis OF peace never before
known. We have scattered schools through
them and have materially raised the stand
ard Of intelligence. We have set in motion
the machinery for the evolution of a system
of insular self-government under American
sovereignty which is likely in another dec
ade or two to yield gratifying results Dark
as was the prospect short time after the
smoke from Dewey's guns had cleared
away, the skies are today bright and there
Is ground for congratulations upon a work
OF necessity accomplished with fidelity to
the requirements Of civilization.

Observation-Disclosures bid would not be
made In the hope of securing any damaging
information from an officer. Nevertheless
1t would be an affront to men educated for
the country's service, sworn to perform
their duty honestly and fearlessly, and &C.
customed to the high responsibilities Of
life. By the choice of their profession they
put money out of the question. There is no
money in soldiers life. Is 1t belieyabIe
that any officer Of the 25th Infantry with
knowledge which fixes the crime committed
at Brownsville on men Of that regiment
would have to be bribed with money to
tell? Who would accept the statement,
even under oath. Of such a man? What
would be his standing in the army, or in
civil life, from that day? How much too
small would the United States become for
so base creature?
The bid would be for the men. Without
education, or property. or position, they
have led rough and-tumble lives, and now
that they have been dismissed from the
army In disgrace are In hard lines. Ten
thousand dollars, or even q portion Of Il,
would appear in their eyes as "a mighty
sight Of money" But could even they be
Influenced by such means? Would one Of
them who had sworn to ignorance on the
subject come forward and change his stateG
ment and claim the reward? Or could one
of them be induced to invent a yarn In
tended to fasten the crime on certain of his
comrades? So far the men have stood to-
gether and stoutly asserted their own in
nocence and q belief in the innocence of
the whole battalion. What would be the
value of a retraction by one Of these men
now, made under the persuasion Of large
money reward?
