THE HONORABLE SCARS OF THE
SOLDIER.

Funston was wounded three times IN
Cuba. once through an arm. once i'm the
chest, and once his horse fell upon him,
fracturing his thigh. From this wound
he was suffering when he left Kansas
for the Philippines with the Twelfth
Regiment in the spring of 1898
He came home from Cuba on sick
leave he had an order from Garcia TO
the President of the Cuban republic for
his parole. but he was captured by the
country to get the order honored. His
quick Wit and good nerve saved him.
While he was explaining TO his Spanish
captors that he was coming in to sur
render he seemed TO he hopping his
face with his handkerchief. but really
was slipping the order for the parole
from the handkerchief into his mouth.
The Spaniards did not discover the
trick Funston stuck to the story of
surrender and the court martial re-
leased him General Fitzhugh Lee
fitted him out with his passage money
and a suit of hand-me- down clothes,
and Funston struck New York in the
winter, Of lS97-'9S racked with fever
and discouraged in mind.
In the Philippines he ate and slept
with his soldiers on the firing line. He
was their idol. His lame leg did not
keep him from limping ahead OF them
in a fight. He was with them when
they charged into Caloocan and was
the first white soldier to enter Malolos.
He was the first American officer to
cross the river at Calumpit.

SENIORITY WOULD HAVE TURNED
THE TRICK ANYHOW.

II Frederick Funston had received for
his exploit q colonelcy in the regular
army. a promotion which would have
silenced criticism. seniority would PROB
ably have raised him to brigadier
general by this time; and he still holds
the rank Of his reward. Impulsive ad-
rniration made him a general at an age
when most army officers are lieuten-
ants
The most dramatic scene Of the Fill
piuo Instruction is told by General
Funston as follows:
For some days previous to this time
February =. 1s99-the insurgents had
almost hourly grown more insulting IN
speech and daring in manner. The con-
1ict so soon 70 occur had been merely
precipitated on February , by an in
surgent officer. with a detachment of
about forty natives-all armed and very
misunderstanding to pass the line held
by the Nebraska regiment. on that
occasion only the tact and soldierly at
titude of Colonel Stotsenburg prevented

THE SINGLE TAX LAW.

THE EMPIRE can suggest but one
 thing against the single tax
 measure prepared by United States District Attorney John Rust. gard of this city and introduced in Congress by Representative Bailey of Pennsylvania. It should be pending before an Alaskan Legislature having unprecedented authority to enact it in. to law or defeat it. However. the bill recognizes the principle of local self, government, and requires the sanction of the electors to give it life.
 The bill provides that where the people of any municipality in Alaska shall so determine. by their votes at a properly called election. a tax levy
The Alaska daily empire., 1914-06-04

of not exceeding five per cent. of the value of real estate exclusive of im- provemonts on 1t may be levied in that town in lieu of any and all other property taxes.
 Tho number of those who believe in the single land tax is growing all the time. Many people everywhere are comnig to look upon other forms of taxation as special taxes upon the industry and enterprise of citizens. Further. real estate is the only form of property the value of which can not under any circumstance be con cealed from tax assessors. Another argument urged in it's favor is that it discourages speculation in land and encourages it's use.
 However, the bill pending in Con- gress does not establish the single tax in Alaska municipalities. It sim ply puts it up to the voters of the towns and cities to decide for them selves whether or not they desire to try it out. The Empire knows no good reason why the bill should not become a law.

WHAT THEY INDICATE.

EOPLE are not likely to forge
 that the attacks on the admins
 rrauon that are appearing in tho Republican papers of Seattle and else where are being made for the purpose of influencing the elections next Nov ember. And they should not forget that they are appearing in newspapers and being fostered by people who op posed the election of Wilson in 1912.
 The attacks in no wise indicate that Wilson has changed in the slightest degree since his triumphant election They but prove that the Seattle news papers and other supporters of Taft have not changed.
