beauty and turned into objects of
hideous deformity. They should be
removed entirely now and new ones
planted. 1t will take thirty or forty
years to repair the useless damage
done in a few hours. The trees had

PHILIPPINE BILL
ATTACKED BY TAFT
Proposed Change Will Re-
verse Policy of 10 Years
Experience

Washington, January 29-President
Taft in his farewell speech to the Ohio
Society of Washington tonight vigor-
ously attacked the bill now pending in
Congress proposing autonomy and in
dependence in eight years for the Phil
ippines.
.Ts it possible asked the President,
that the democratic party is going
to reverse the policy that has vindi-
Gated itself by ZEN years experience
merely for the purpose of conforming
to the cobwebbed pianks of forgotten
platforms? Will they not, before they
take such AN irretrievabie step, obtain
reliable information as to the conditions
that obtain in the islands? This issue
has been relegated to the limbo of free
silver or the narrow doctrine of states
rights. Those who continue to give out
their lucubrations the Philippines
are now less than those who expect to
attend the next inaugural ball"
Speaker Clark, who followed the
President, declined to debate with
him the democratic policy of independ-
ence for the Philippines. II am not
going to debate the question of Phil
ippine Independence with President

I'm not going too, either. | wish we

FAME OF S|CKLES
SHOULD NOT DETER
LAW Proceedings
Attorney General Carmody
Expresses Views in Let
ter to Mrs. Helen
d. LOngstreet

Albany. n. Y, January @.-The Tame
of General Daniel E. sickles as a sol
dier should not deter New York state
IN its efforts to collect the S2S,f76 un-
accounted for by the general as chairman
of the New York monuments commits
sion. This is the view advanced by
Attorney General Carmody in a letter to-
day to Mrs Helen d. Longstreet OF
Gainesville. Ca, widow of the confed-
crate general
In telegram to Attorney General Car
mody. Mrs. Longstreet offered to raise
$23,47e from ''the ragged and manned
followers of Lee"
Attorney General Carmodys letter
says:
Your sympathetic and patriotic eX-
pressions do justices to your heart. but
they do violence to the facts in this
case. General Sickles is being prose-
cuted by the state of New York for
converting to his own use the sum oil
S23, 49, This money came into his hands
as chairman of the state monuments
commission. to be used, among other pur-
poses, for the erection of monuments TO
mark the resting places on the field Of
Gettysburg to the brave soldiers who fell
in defense of their country and to pro-
vide for celebration upon the field OF
Gettysburg in which those living might
participate, at the states expenses, In
a fitting manner.
General sickes appropriated this
amount to his own use. This he has
not attempted to justify or to defend,
admitting that he took the states money
for private use without authority of law,
an act which under our laws. and under
the laws of all civilized governments
means stelng He was given his own
time to repay this amount. and tnat
time was extended a: his suggestion.
without any desire to embarraSs him and
with the fun appreciation OF the claim
which ne has upon this nation for the
great services he rendered in the re-
bellion These services cannot be ovei-
estimated, but even the fame OF the SOL
dier must not be used as cloak or
protection for the commission of crime
ana 1t is nothing less than misdirected
svnpathy TO undertake to so confuse the
questions involved as to make ordi
nary prosecution for crime seem like
persecution and to elevate as a martyr
a person who confesses his dereliction.
New York state appreciates her he
roes and feels humiiiated at the spec
tacle which this case presents, New York
state also respects her law and seeks t.
enforce them in a spirit Of equality to
all.
II trust this brief statement of the
facts will show you how erroneous have
heen your views, how misplaced your
sympathy and hom misdirected your criti-
cism.
