WATTERsoN's "cLovEN FOOT"

Our good friend, Mr.. F. L. Seely,
editor of the Atlanta Georgian, says
that our dear and revererd friend,
Colonel Henry Watterson, editor of
the Louisville Courier-Journal, in the
Wilson-Harvey-W atterson episode
shows the "cloven foot
That is a fearfully severe charge to
hurl against good man who has
been before the public for nearly
three score years, and all the while
has borne an honorable and unsullied
reputation.
In proof of it's severe condemnation
the Georgian says:
The statement of Colonel Waiter
SON is vehement denial that Colonel
Harvey suggested getting some of
Thomas Fortune Ryan's money.
But is is an admission that Col
onel Watterson himself suggested it.
What are the facts. We quote from
the statement referred to by the Geor-
gian:
AT Gov. Wilson's instance | had I'M
dertaken to assist his accredited man
ayers in raising the considerable
sums of money needful to the prose
cution of his campaign"
The whole affair was arranged and
if what Watterson says is true was ar
ranged at Governor Wilson's instance.
Editor Watterson was to assist his
accredited managers in raising funds
for the prosecution of his campaign.
Who from? From his enemies? From
republicans? From socialists? From
populists? Surely none of these.
Naturally from Coolnel Watterson's
democratic friends and from whom he
raised considerable sum.
Where is the "cloven foot" please?

the same as you would find in any
large city in the States. Considering
the short time that Manila has been
in the hands of our people, one can
truthfully say that she is progressing
rapidly. Electric street railways, cleo
trio lights, paved streets, and has a
larger harbor than either Frisco or
Galveston. Autos of the latest types
are numerous.
On the morning of October 18th we
were ordered up to headquarters to
get our assignments, and 10 and be-

Troop F, End cavalry, with transporta-
ton to leave at II M, for Camp Over
ton, P. I. We sailed on time, on the
U. S. S. Warren We landed at Sebu
on the 18th at 1 p. M; sailed from
there at IL m, on the 18th and landed
at Camp Overton at 3 p. m, on the
18th. Camp Overton is 500 miles from
Manila and 5000 miles from Frisco.
Camp Overton is on the extreme
southern island (Mindano), and is
very hot-anywhere from 102 to 125
in the shade. This island is princi-
pally inhabited by the Morros, and
they are a bad lot. We go armed
with a Colts AS all the time. Every
now and then we have to go out and
arrest bunch of them and send them
to Manila. On the night of November
3rd the cook in Troop M, was cut to
death in the kitchen by single
MORO, slashing him nineteen times.
The MORO tried to escape, but was
killed by the first lieutenant. Aside
from that, no one has been hurt in
the End cavalry.
My opinion is that Uncle Sam will
always be having trouble with them
until they are disarmed.
Fruit is very plentiful here-pine-
apples, oranges, bananas and all kinds
of nuts and papias in large quantities.
Game is also abundant-quail, wild
hog and deer. You would laugh to
see monkeys playing in the trees,
like squirrels do in dear old Florida.

wATTERsoN ENDS HIS PART IN
THE CONTROVERSY

Colonel Henry Watterson ends his
connection with the Wilson presiden-
tial boom in a most dramatic and
spectacular manner He turns over
the ginger jar. upsets the tobasco
sauce. throws in a big block of brim-
stone and uses a whole box of cay
enne pepper. He refuses to mince
words a particle, calls a spade
spade and demolishes a glittering as
sOrtment of adverbs and adjectives.
Meanwhile, let me say, that whilst
the governors tardy repentance may
placate the forgiving Col. Harvey
whilst il may even satisfy the suscsp-
tible Mr.. Bryan refuse longer to
follow a man whose nomination would

What ought Wilson to have said
when Colonel Harvey asked him if he
thought the support of Harper's
Weekly was injurious to his candida
cy? From the comment of some of the
newspapers it would appear they
think he ought to have lied glibly and
politely-Lakeland Telegram.
No, he should not have lied. But
he should have been polite. He
should have been tactful. No man
in public office should be rude and
certainly no friend should be. Harp
er's Weekly, whatever may be its
faults, had done Governor Wilson a
real service and it's editor was de-
voted and generous friend. He should
not have been treated with indiffer-
ence. His feelings should not have
been wounded. So far as this paper is
concerned it would not ruthlessly Of
fend a friend who was doing it a SER
vice for the presidential office.
