WORD FOR THE HOUSE MINORITY

Looking back at the record { f this
Legislature in regular and special
sessions, Kansas people will be
likely to give due credit to the
Democratic members for much of
the progressive legislation. 1t is a
fact that the Republicans of the
House have always been pretty SER
iously divided on these questions,
but the Democrats have almost in
variably bobbed up to help the pro-
gressives in a pinch. When it is
remembered that many of these
Democrats were elected only be
cause the opposing Republican can
dldate was too rank stand patter
and reacionary to receive the sup
port of the district, it is easy to see
how far short this Legislature
would have come of the record it
has made and still is making if
these Democrats had not been
elected, but their seats had been
occupied by their conservative Re-
publican opponents.-Topeka Cap

FIGHTING IN PHILIPPINES.
Experience Of American Soldiers IN
der Fire in Battle with
Natives.

There are some graphic touches in the
report of Lieut.. Fred S. Young in which
he tells of battle in Mindanao last sum-
mer. About 80 this morning" he
writes, the enemy attacked US from
across the river at our camp, just be-
low the outpost near the Moro camp.
The command turned out promptly and
drove them of in less than Is minutes.
As soon as the men could obtain break
fast / took 80 across the river to fol-
law the trail, if possible. We left camp
at $50 and arrived in front of the ell
envy at about 1920. AS we approached
the enemy's position the trail opened
into one more distinct in appearance,
through slough 800 feet from the en-
emy's position. This is the trail we
were in during the fight which followed
We had gone some $50 yards on this
trail, and were, found later, within SO
yards of the river, when the guide
stopped and held up his hand. Gam
por, the Moro Interpreter, who was with
him, said to me: Mucho heinte. l
kept the command quiet and sent the
interpreter forward 10 reconnoiter Our
position was on small piece of ground
ON the edge of the river, and could not
md more than 20 feet of firm ground
TO operate on. Although had the high
grass broken on either side of our line
nothing but water was found.
We were cooped on this spot for As
minutes, during which time we fired
and were fired upon necessarily. So
soon as the enemy returned our fire
my men were ordered to lie down. and
Kept them down. 1t was a brave
man who stood up, as the enemy knew
our position and had firm ground up
and down the river on their side. They
had positions from behind which they
fired, and they kept their cover well.
Four OF or men were wounded. The
enemy's casualties were unknown. We
fired over 1,500 rounds, and so of the
enemy killed is considered a conserya-
tive estimate. The men of our side
were hit trying to get good aim over the
high grass, and had to rise behind cover
TO do it. They all deserve great credit
for their work. They were hit at vari-
Gus times, and not until the surgeon
urgently recommended that they need
ed prompt attention did the command
retire.
l spent 30 minutes trying to find a
place from which l could find the en-
envy, but found none; we could hardly
get room to fire. The men were kneel-
ing in mud hole, half under water.
We seemed to be on the only firm
ground on our side When the order
was finally given to retire we had 81
fenced the enemy's fire, and the COM
mand was ordered to fire volleys. There
seemed to be no way to cross the river.
and as much as / desired to actually
stand upon the enemy's ground, we had
to console ourselves with a view from
our position. Our return was slow.
We put the wounded on filters, and they
carried well. The men used bolos
through the jungle, and literally cut our
way back to camp"

RIGHT THOUGHT BARS AGE
There Is Longevity in Cheerfulness,
Says a Writer-Forget
Trouble.

Bitter memories of a sinful life
which has all gone wrong make pre-
mature burrows in the face, take the
brightness from;the eyes, and the elias
ITCHY from the step, says a writer in
Success, and make ones life sapless
and uninteresting.
We grow old because we do not
know enough to keep young, just as we
become sick and diseased because we
do not know enough to keep well. Sick
ness is result of ignorance and wrong
thinking. The time will come when a
man Will no more harbor thoughts that
will make him sick or weak than he
would think of putting his hands into
ire. No man can be sick if he always
has right thoughts and takes ordinary
care of his body. If he will think only
youthful thoughts he can maintain his
youth far beyond the usual period.
If you would 'be young when old /"
adopt the sun dial's motto-"I record
none but hours Of sunshine" Never
mind the dark or Swallowed hours. For
get the unpleasant, unhappy days. Re-
member only the days of rich expert
ences; let the other drop into oblivion.
1t is said that long livers are great
hopers," If you keep your hope bright
in spite of discouragements, and meet
all difficulties with cheerful face, 1t
will be very difficult for age to trace
Its burrows on your brow. There is
longevity in cherefulness.
