Secretary Root's Answer.
The plain, straight facts set forth
in Secretarys Root's recent answer
to the Senate resolution show just
what the Government's military
policy in the Philippines has been
and what it has not been —just
what orders it has approved and
what it. has disapproved. The
showing is made in original docu
ments and does not depend on any
statement. The Secretary offers
little comment. He lets the docu
ments speak for themselves, and
they are decisive. In their presence
no man who wants to know the
truth can rest under a misunder
standing.
There was a guerrilla warfare in
the two provinces of Batangas and
Samar. General Bell commanded
in the former, and the inquiry of
the Seuate was directed first to his
orders. Their full text is given.
General Bell recites minutely the
kind of warfare the enemy were
waging—their deceptions, their as
sassination of helpless prisoners,
their use of poisoned weapons,
their murder of friendly natives,
their cruelties to unoffending per
sons and their violation in num
erous ways of the laws and usages
of war. For three years the Ameri
can army had exercised the utmost
foi bearance, but pat ience had ceas
ed to be a virtue. General Bell,
therefore, announced in the order
that for every prisoner or unarmed
American or friendly native who
was assassinated he would execute
a prisoner of war, and that lesser
offenses should be met in corres
ponding measure.—Philadelphia
Pres.?.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, May 12th., 1902.
Editor Press.—
The Philippine bill with varia
tions is still the motif in elabora
tion of which the Democratic sena
tors continue to chant their weary
dirges to the infinite ennui of the
Republicans and the country.
During tlni past week Senator Till
man took occasion to deliver one
of his characteristic harangues full
of defiance to any senator who
should care to challenge the right
of South Carolina to disfranchise
the negro, etc. The Republicans
listened with amused tolerance
while the Democrats, to their credit
be it said, left the Senate chamber,
evidently mortified at the vulgar
extravagance of their colleague.
On Thurday Senator Carmack in
dulged in his third speech on the
subject and was guilty of person
alities which caused Senator Hoar
to call him to order but for which
he subsequently apologized. No
new light has been thrown on the
subject but it is evident that the
Democrats are determined to pro
long the debate interminably. On
Friday Senator Lodge attempted to
have a day set for a vote on the
bill but was opposed by Senator
Dußois. The Senator from Massa
chusetts then gave notice that un
less there were soon signs that the
debate was being brought to a close
he would insist that the Senate re
main in session for longer hours
each day. The speeches of Sena
tors Lodge, Beveridge and Mc-
Comas, made early in the week,
were able refutations of the Demo
cratic position. It is believed
by the Senator from Massachusetts
that he will secure the passage of
the bill about the first of the month.
The Committee on Relations with
Cuba has about completed its in
vestigations of the holdings of
Cuban sugar by the Sugar Trust
and has satisfied itself that the
Trust will gain nothing by the pass
age of a reciprocal law governing
Cuban trade with this country.
Senator Piatt tells me that he is
confident that the Senate will pass
the straight reciprocity bill which
his committee will report. The
rapidly increasing anxiety of the
members of the House to adjourn
is believed to augur well for the
fate of the bill when it reaches that
body.
On Friday the House passed the
bill admitting Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico to statehood. The
constitutional convention of New-
Mexico is empowered to change the
name of the territory on its becom
ing a state if it so desires. The
constitutional convention of Okla
homa is required to adopt a statute
empowering the Federal govern
ment to attach to the new state
any part or all of the Indian Terri
tory, at such time as it may see lit.
The passage of the bill was marked
by a dramatic incident which
threatened to prove a tragedy.
Delegate Marcus A. Smith of
Arizona, on concluding an impass
ioned speech in favor of the bill,
fell to the floor with a slight stroke
of apoplexy. He is now, however,
considered out of danger. The
strain under which Mr. Smith and
his colleague, Mr. Rodey of New
Mexico, have been working during
the past week has been tremendu
ous. Mr. Flynn, of Oklahoma,
while he has worked equally hard
does not show the same evidence of
his protracted labors. All the de
legates express the belief that the
bill will be favorably acted upon by
the Senate.
Friday afternoon in the House
was devoted to clearing the pension
calendar and Saturday to the
eulogies of Representative Rufus
K. Polk of Pennsylvania and the
late Senator Kyle of South Dakota.
To-day the District of Columbia
will have the "call" but it is pro
bable that the bill of Representa
tive Adams, of Pennsylvania, which
provides for the granting of pass
ports to the residents of insular
possessions of the United States
will be passed. The Naval appro
priation bill is expected to consti
tute the leading feature of this
week's work in the House.
Whooping Cough.
A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequence from it. She
s-ays: Our three children took whooping
Cough last summer, our baby boy being
only three months old, and owing to our
giving them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, they lost none of their plump
ness and came out in much better health
then other children whose parents did
not use this remedy. Our oldest little
girl would call lustily for cough syrup
between whoops.—Jessie Pinkey Hall,
Springfield, Ala. This remedy is for sale
by L. Taggart.
Those can conquer who think they
can.

Parents of Children Can Learn
Something Interesting Of Us.
If you have a. boy or a girl you cer
tainly want to see them thrivo and de
velop into a healthy man or woman.
Wo can show you how you can give
the little ones a tonic that will do them
the greatest amount of good. Wo refer
to VINOL, that we advocate so strongly
in these days. This is the medicino we
sell on a guarantee and are willing to re
fund the cost of it to anyone not satislled
with the way it acts.
VINOL is sold by the leading druggist
in every large city. We aro proud to
say we aro the representatives of VINOL
in this town.
Here is a letter that will interest
mothers and fathers:
"My little girl, four years old, has
been taking VINOL with most excellent
results. Before that she had no appetite
or strength and was generally run down.
She loved the tasto of Vinol and it was
not long before sho began to Improve in
appetite and pick up in strength. She
now is in excellent health. W. S. Mc-
Carty, Frazier St., Bangor, Maine."

Don't Start Wrong.
Don't start the summer with a linger
ing cough or cold. We all know what a
"summer cold" is. It's the hardest kind
to cure. Often it "hangs on" through
the entire season. Take it in hand right
now. A tew doses of One Minute Cough
Cure will set you right. Sure cure for
coughs, colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all
throat and lung troubles. Absolutely safe.
Acts at once. Children like it. "One
Minute Cough Cure is the host cough
cough medicine I ever used," says J. 11.
Bowles, (iroveton, N. 11. "I never found
anything else that acted so safely and
quickly." R. C. Dodson.
Some men adore their wives because it
is cither that or starvation.
Traveling Is Dangerous.
Constant motion jars the kidneys which
are kept in place in the body by delicate
attachments. This is the reason that
travelers, trainmen, street ear men, teatu
stefs and all who drive very much suffer
from kidney disease in some form. Foley's
Kidney Cure strengthens the kidneys
and cures all forms of kidney and blad
der disease. (Jeo. 11. Ilausen, locomotive
engineer, Lima, 0., writes, "Constant
vibration ot the engine causen nie a
deal of trouble with my kidneys, and I
got no relief until I used Foley's Kidney
Cure." L. Taggart.
The surgeon always makes his bill out
according to the cut-rate schedule.
The Spring Fever
Is a malady which uo one can escape
at this season of the year. The vitality
is usually overtaked during the winter
months, and spring finds the system all
run down. The blood is thinned and im
pure. The kidneys and liver are inactive
—resulting in a loss of energy and appe
tite, at:d a derangement of the nerves.
Liohty's Celery Nerve Compound will
purify your blood, tone up your nerves,
and leave you feeling fresh and energetic.
Sold by L. Taggart.
Most physicians are first-class skin
doctors—judging from the size of their
bills.
Wants Others to Know.
"1 have used DeWitt's Little Risers
for constipation and torpid liver and they
are all right. lam glad to indorse them
for I think when we find a good thing
we ought to let others know it," writes
Alfred Ileinze, Quincy, 111. They never
gripe or distress. Sure, safe pills. 11. C.
Dodson.
It is always the same with old maids
and thermometers—thirty-two is the
freezing point.
Holds ud a Congressman.
At the end ot the campaign," writes
Champ Clark, Missouria's brilliant con
gressman, "from overwork, nervous
tension, loss of sleep and constant speak
iug I had about utterly collapsed. It
seemed that all the organs in my body
were out of order, but throe bottles of
Electric Hitters made me all right. It's
the best all-around medicine ever sold
over a druggist's counter." Over worked,
run-down men and weak, sickly women
gain splendid health and vitality from
Klectric Hitters-. Try them. Only 5Uc.

Cures When Doctors Pail.
Mrs. Grank Chiasson, Patterson, La.,
writes June Bth, 11)01: "I had malaria
fever in very bad form, was under treat
ment by doctors, but as soon as I stopped
taking their medicine the fever would
return. I used a sample bottle of Her
bine, found it helped me. Then bought
two bottles, which completely cured me.
I feel grateful to you for furnishing such
a splendid medicine, and can honestly
recommend it to those suffering from
malaria, as it will surely cure them."

Headache Capsules. They will prevent
pain, cvcti though your skull were crack
ed. They are harmless, too. Head the

What appear to be calamities are often
the sources of fortune.
A .Revelation.
If you will make inquiry it will be a
revelation to you how many succumb to
kidney or bladder troubles in ohm form
or another. If the patient is not bi-vond
medical aid, Foley's Kidney Cure will
cure. It never disappoints. L Taggart.
A fool's heart is in his tongue, but a
wise man's tongue is in Li* heart.
What is Foley's Kidney Cure.
Answer: It is made from a prescription
of a leading Chicago physician, and one
of the most eminent in tin; country. The
