men from vice have been roughly de
fined as "the fear of God and the fear
of consequences." How caa it fall to
act as an encouragement to vice when
the military authorities take the In
dustry of prostitution under their i f
ficial supervision, and anneunced ' to
our young soldiers that they will try;
to make It as safe as possible for tiiem
to sin. Judge Taft telegraphs that this
official supervision of vice Is a "mili
tary necessity." But It has never be
fore been tolerated In connection with
the American army. The best of the
army men disapprove of it Theolore
Roosevelt writes: "I cannot suffic

Taft says: "The system has greatly

England repealed her regulation act3
after seventeen yecrs experience had
proved them a complete sanitary fail
ure, as well as a great source of de
moralization. Almost every religious
denomination in England has pro
tested against the continuance of the
system In some of the remote British
dependencies where It still lingers.
One of the latest utterances on this
subject was by the English Catholic
bishop. Judge Taft telegraphs that
the present system Is "better than fu
tile attempts at total suppression In
an oriental city of 300,000." That is
cot the question. It Is one thing to
recognise that prostitution cannot be
totally suppressed; it Is quite another
for the United States military authors
tie to go Into partnership In the busi
ness and to give it their official su
pervision and practical sanction.
Rev. F. II. Morgan of Singapore, a
missionary of the Methodist Episco
pal board who went to the Philippines
and personally investigated the matter,
writes: "Do our people at home real
ize what this means that their sons
are taken from Christian homes in
America and brought to the tropics,
with all the seductive Influences pre
valent there, and under the sanction of
their officers find everything made as
easy, as possible for them to live lives
of Impurity and vice; that our Chris

such sin. and says by actions, if not
by words, that it Is necessary, and that
a young man cannot be pure away
from home?" - .
It is no wonder that some American
mothers who never wanted to vote be
fore are now wishing for the ballot
Everyone who disapproves of this dis
creditable Innovation in United States
army methods should write to his con
gressman on the subject, and also
write to President McKinley as com
mander in chief, asking that official
"regulation" of vice shall cease.

Special WishiagtoB Letter.
Charles A. Towne closed his brief
senatorial career with a masterful
great speech on the Philippine ques
tion. The Washington Post, which
stands with the administration on that
subject, says that Towne drew the lar
gest audience which the senate has
seen this session of congress. It even
notes the astounding fact "that at one
point Senator Depew followed Senator
Towne with great interest." Towne'a
speech must have been a clincher to
work that miracle, for no inan in
Washington has his mind more thor
oughly made up on the Philippine and
all other questions -1. e., it is made up
to do precisely what the administration
wants done.
I was told by a veracious statesman
that when Towne finished the cherubic
Hoar, who spoke volubly against Mc
Klnley's Philippine policy, but who
voted for McKinley, said to another
Republican senator: "Why didn't some
one on our side make that speech? All
he says is true, and the documents on
which it is based are open to every
body's inspection."
The Washington Post remarks fur
ther, with a sort of ghoulish glee, that
the answer of the Republicans to
Towne's speech was to swear in Sena
tor Clapp, his Republican successor, be-'
fore Towne's friends and admirers had
ceased to congratulate him and before
he had gathered up his manuscript
That is a fine piece of sarcasm, surely!
"The answer of the Republicans" was
sheer brute force and answered
Towne's speech about as much as If
Boiler Maker Jeffries, heavyweight
champion of the world, had knocked
him down at the conclusion of his re
marks. It must Le said for Senator Clapp
that It was an exceedingly gracious
thing for him to defer his taking of
the oath of office long enough to give
Towne time to deliver an oration
which bids fair to become historic. I
take off my hat to Senator Clapp of
Minnesota.
Exordium Versos Peroration.
Did anybody ever notice the fact that
most people take it for granted that
the peroration of a speech is certain
! to be Its finest part? As a matter of
fact the exordium frequently equals
and sometimes excels the peroration.
Nearly every one who reads this can
repeat offhand verbatim or, in sub
stance Webster's peroration In his
"Reply to Ilayne," beginning "When
my eyes shall be turned," etc. But
not one In thousands remembers a worcf
of the magnificent exordium, which, In
grandeur of thought, splendor of dic
tion, felicity of expression, is about on
a par with the peroration which every
body knows by heart and which every
body has declaimed at school. That
exordium is as follows:
"Mr. President, when the mariner
has been tossed for many days In
thick weather and on an unknown sea,
he naturally avails himself of the first
pause In the storm, the earliest glance
of the sun, to take his latitude and
ascertain how far the elements have
driven him from his true course. Let
us Imitate this prudence and before we
float farther on the waves of this de
bate refer to the point from which we
departed, that we may at least be able
to form some conjecture where we are
now."
A Splendid Bea-lnnlne.
It's a ten to one shot that Towne's
peroration will be widely printed and
the exordium neglected. I hereby
snatch from oblivion that splendid ex
ordium. It Is In these words:
Mr. President, the presentation on th 10th
Inst, by th distinguished senator from Colorado
(Mr. Teller) oi a petition signed by nor than
2,000 inhabitant of the city of Manila was an un
exampled and most remarkable circumstance.
Whatever tb future has in store, this document
la historic. 1$ is spread upon the records of the
senate. There it must remain so long at our
archives arc preserved. To all coming ages its
mute eloquence will spealc "with most miraculous
organ." Either it will have proved a quickening
appeal to the ancient spirit of the republic or, in
my opinion, its rejection must dedicate th twen
tieth century to a reaction prejudicial, if not
fatal, to free institution.
Who are the signers of this petition? They are
peaceable tradesmen, merchants, lawyers, doctors.
! teachers, mechanics and artisans at Manila. Whom
do they represent? They claim to speak th senti
ments and aspirations of the Philippine people.
Of what do they complain? pt the assertion over
them by tore of arms of an alien and arbitrary
rul. What nation thus asserts its power against
them? The republic of the United States of
America. What ia it they desire? Independence
and self government. To whom do they present
their appeal? Let the answer- b made in th
words of the petition itself:
"We have not hesitated, therefore, to present
this appeal to the United States congress, trusting
that th latter may better understand the real
alms and aspirations of our people. Therefor the
Philippine nation, bearing in mind not only tha
heroic history of America, but also her sacred tra
ditions, her humanitarian dootrines and her demo
cratic institutions, asks of America to cease her
persecution ef men struggling to be tree against
greater odd sad greater wrmga than thorn whioh
lasr-titd the fathers of the American republic We
ask this of Americans in th name of Washington,
in the nam of Jefferson, in the name of Lincoln,
in the name of Justice and in the name of God
sternal, Judge of th world."
Sir, I confess that this appeal move me. What
American can remain insensible to "the unhappy
plight t s small and relatively feeble people en
gaged in a hopeless contest with s vastly stronger
antagonist for the sacred privilege of self govern
ment? Is not there something infinitely pathetic
tn the circumstance that we should today be using
the very power conferred upon us by our liberties
to subjugate a weaker nation invoking those very
liberties against us and whom our owl glorious
example inspires to resist our aggression? Their
summons ia the nam of Washington, Jefferson
sod Lincoln to challenge justice ia the court of
heaven is s most solemn adjuration. Never here
tofore would th United States hare hesitated to
take it cause on such an issue. Do we dare to
do it now? ; . .
In my opinion, Mr. President, the prayer of this
people should be granted. Not less advantage
than Justice, not less glory than duty, demands it.
As tending to support this contention, therefore,
X propose, as briefly as is consistent with th im
portance of the subject and considering that at
tention has been heretofore repeatedly caUed to
them in this chamber, to review th circum
stances of the origin of our interest in the Phil
ippines, th conditions existing in the islands at
that time and th present situation there, as well
as some of the arguments employed to justify
both the conquest and the arbitrary government
of the archipelago by the United States. I shall
also endeavor to show that the present policy of
the administration involves an adoption of the
programme of imperialism and militarism, toward
which there has been for some years ah accelerat
ing tendency in Europe, an abandonment of the
most glorious traditions of the republic and rec
reancy to her noble and peculiar mission among
the peoples of the earth.
In classic times, sir, long after the skeptic phi
losophies had ravished Olympus of its terrors and
Helicon of it charms, it still remained the cus
tom of the poets to invoke the aid of gods and
muses whose existence, for both writer and reader,
had become s tacit intellectual fiction. Today a
somewhat similar imputation attaches to those ap
peals to the nonpartisanship of their audiences
which speakers on political subjects are prone to
utter. Yet, sir, such an appeal I now make. I
do not believe the ancient shrines are all Un
tenanted. Many an American heart Still pays its
vows to the spirit of citiienship in the republic
while the altara of party "pale their ineffectual
fires."
Millions of voters in this nation, I believe, still
bear a fealty to their country stronger and more
sacred than any duty they recognize to any po
litical oiganiMtion. Many of them at the last
election, I am convinced, voted for the party in
power under a misapprehension. To some the
clamor of party drowned th voice of country. To
others the flaunting of party banners in the
similitude of the national ensign worked s tem
porary confusion. These two classes are dangerous
to the system they have aided. If they become
convinced that they have been deceived, ii one
they shall realise that the new course is away
from the old landmarks of liberty, their vengeance
will be both swift and sure.
I cannot hope that my voice may reach any
large number of these men nor that, even of those
who hear, many wUl be convinced through my
Imperfect utterance, but happily mine is but one
of a multitude of voices raised and to be raised
for Justice and national honor, for the American
ism of the fathers and for the true and perpetual
glory of the country. They shall sing of industry
rather than waste, of social equity rather than
war, of self government rather than arbitrary
power.
A Noble Peroration,
-The peroration is as follows:
Sir, this new policy is advocated by some men
because, as they contend, w need th discipline
of war. I deny it. I affirm, on the contrary, and
I appeal in confirmation of my statement to all
past and present history, that war in and of it
self is an awful and unmatched calamity and ih
so respect more so than in its effect on th char
' acter and morals of men. Mere slaughter ia never
glorious. Only the justice of the cause tor which
men have fought when liberty has been at stake
has redeemed th horror of it. The nobl senti
ment aroused by such a caus has glorified even
the awful. means by which it has thus far been
found necessary to support and defend it. Those
1 means have always been deplored by humane and
. Just men who have been compelled to use them.
How true this is msy be seen in every single case
where war is waged tor greed or power and when
; the soldiers engaged in it are not sustained and
' animated by lofty enthusiasm or generous senti
ment. They will cither shun the service or they
will become "subdued to what they work, in, like
the vrs hand." "War," declares Vereschagin
who painted it so truly that Yon Moltke com
manded his soldiers not to look upon the artist's
canvases, "war ia the , opposite of humanity." .
"War," said General Slicrnian. "is hell." All its
repulsive features are magnified by an ignoble
cause. Writing from the unblessed fields of the
South African campaign, a British officer has said :
- "One of .the greatest calamities of war, espe
cially a prolonged war, is the moral degeneracy
that sets in among the combatants, and I fear
that this is sometimes even more marked among
the victors than among the vanquished, for, flush
ed with triumph, they believe they hare a right
to trample to any extent jtn a prostrate enemy.
Years of civilisation and peace teach men to re
spect the lives and property of others, but a few
months of war seem to scrape off this veneer of
virtue and return them to their primitive sav
agery." This is profoundly true, and when we read in
the accounts of our operations in the Philippines
how the American soldiers customarily speak of
their pursuit of th enemy as "hunting niirgers "
. how upon one occasion a company hemmed in 60
Filipinos at s bend of the Pasig river and shot
them to death in spit of their prayers for quarter
(and I have talked with a man who saw it) or
bow at another time a detachment of troops sur
rounded a native house where a wedding ceremony
was being celebrated, set the building on fire and
then hot the escaping guests of both sexes, I say
when we read or hear of such ineffably tragic
things as these, is it possible we can Btill prate
about our "mission of friendship," our "benevo
lent intentions," our "Christian duty" or of the
glory of such deeds of arms?
r Out, out upon it for an infamous delusion. Cod
speed the day when tb American people, whose
annals blaze with records -of unequaied heroism
and who again and always, if some great cause
demand it, would freely pay with life itself the
pric of its defense, shall have the moral courage
to do their civic duty a rarer thing than to
face, undaunted, the cannon's mouth and with
their sovereign Voice declare that this unholy war
for greed and empire shall be stopped and that
no soldier of the United States shall ever again in
all our history b sent to other lands to war on
people fighting for their liberty.
Sir, the time has other duties. I shall : not
willingly cease to dream of a twentieth century
devoted to the demonstration, the first and only
on in history, that a "government of the people,
lor the people and by th people" need not "per
ish from the earth. There is an inspiration in
the thought that to our beloved country may T
reserved the culminating glory of ' the ages in
crowning with success-the long experiment of
righteous self government.
Gallery Applauded.
During the delivery of this peroration
the applause in the galleries was so vo
ciferous that the Hon. William P. Frye,
president of the senate, threatened to
have them cleared. I have no doubt
that he would have liked to clear out
Towne with the galleries. : I heard
about half an hour of Towne's speech
myself, and one of the things that
struck me was the awfully bored ex
pression on the face of Senator Frye.
If some senator had been making as
strong a speech on the other side as
Towne was . making on his side, the
genial face of the senator from Maine
would have glistened like a new moon.
The Honorable "Gas" Addlcks.
Macaulay says that at the close of
the Seven Years' war all Europe In
arms could not wrest Silesia from the
Iron grasp of Frederick the Great, and
while it is a far cry from that mighty
monarch to the Hon. "Gas" Addlcks it
is nevertheless true that It seems utter
ly impossible for all the good people In
Delaware to wrest that tiny common
wealth from the grip of the greasy
hand of boodle. Addlcks, like Alexan
der Selkirk, seems to be monarch of all
he surveys. Addlcks is playing the
Etar engagement as dog in the manger.
Twice he has produced ' a deadlock
which for two years at each time has
caused Delaware to have only one sen
ator. It would be strange indeed If for
two years he should produce a dead
lock that would prevent Delaware
from having any senator at alL yet
that seems precisely what is going to
happen. Out In Nebraska the conflict
ing ambitions of Colonel Edward Rose
water, Assistant r Secretary of War
Meiklejohn, Hon. David Mercer, Mr.
Thompson, Mr. Malner and an unnum
bered throng of lesser statesmen ap
pear quite likely to leave Nebraska
without any senator. These two cases
are sufficient arguments In favor of
electing United States senators by di
rect popular vote, even if there were no
other reasons. This reform is absolute
ly Imperative for the best Interests of
the republlcanform of government.
: A' Man of Paris. f
Senator Turner of the state of Wash
ington, who, by the way. Is a Missourl
an, Is rapidly developing into one of the
strongest debaters in the senate. He is
a tall, handsome man of the brunette
style of beauty, with a large, capacious
head chuck full of Information on the
leading questions of the day. Notwith
standing he is a man of affairs who has
spent several years on the frontier,
where competition in all lines is piti
less, Senator Turner has found time to
dip into the best literature and knows
how to use it effectively in debate. , I
hare always regarded Lord dive's dec
laration as to his own moderation in
taking money from the East Indians as
one of the most remarkable that ever
fell from human lips. In his speech
against the subsidy bill Senator Turner
thus deftly uses that celebrated decla
ration of the great English soldier:
So w are gravely proceeding to vote out of th
treasury of the United States an open, bold, bald,
emphatic subsidy, a mere gift, to this favored in
dustry of shipbuilding and shipowning, and w
are proceeding to do so for the period of SO years,
involving the government in payments to the sum
total of 1270,000,000, at the very moment when it
la reasonably certain that if ships cannot now be
built and operated by us as cheaply as by any
other people the time is not far distant when they
can be so built and operated. I do not blame the
shipping industry for making the most of this op
portunity which has been tendered them. Lord
Clive, after tiie battle of Plassey, was taken into
the treasure vaults at Moorshedabad by the nabob
his victory had raised to the .throne and there,
walking between heaps of gold and silver, crown
ed with rubies and diamonds, was told to help
himself. He accepted between 500,000 and 300,
000. Many years later, in England, undergoing exam
ination before s parliamentary committee, he waa
! reproached for this act and exclaimed: ."By God I
Mr. Chairman, at this moment I stand astonished
at my own moderation."
- When we remember that this bill was framed
by those who arc to b benefited by it, at the in
vitation of the leaders of the Republican party,
and that that invitation waa equivalent to throw
ing the treasury of the nation open to them and
inviting them to help themselves, w, in consid
ering its provisions, may well be astonished at
their moderation, although,' whereas Lord Clive
helped himself to only a million dollars, they
have provided for helping themselves to two hun
dred and seventy millions. But the treasury of
the United States to the treasury of Bengal is as
the sea to an insignificant rivulet, and in this case
there are many Lord Clives to be provided for. To
complete the picture we must have a nabob of
Bengal, recently crowned and drunk with power.
but still grateful for assistance, to open the doors
i the treasure vaults, ana we cave inai inai
vidual personified in the Republican party. But
ss dive's nabob of Bengal did not last long on
the throne, neither will the Republican party if
it indulges to any great extent in legislation such
as that which we find in this bill.
Ship Subsidy Bill.
But notwithstanding Turner's great
speech and Vest's great speech and
all the other great speeches that have
been and will be delivered against the
ship subsidy bill, that infamous and
colossal steal is absolutely certain to
become a law of the land either at
this session or at an extra session to
be called for that purpose. The men
who put up the boodle for the last
presidential election and - the one be
fore are determined to have their
pound of flesh. They have the country
by the throat and will never release
their hold until -they get this $1S0.
000,000 and several other grabs of like
amount,
Terms In Falconry.
When under a year old the hawk is
called a red hawk, owing to its
plumage before its first molt being
reddish. After Its molt It Is termed
a haggard. The female peregrine is a
falcon, while the male is a tiercel. The
various parts of a hawk have their
peculiar names. The legs from the
thigh to the foot are the arms; the
claws, the pounces; the wings, sails;
the crop is the gorge; the upper bill,
the beak; the lower, the clap, and the
yellow portion between the beak and
the eyes is the cere. When a hawk
seizes Its prey, it Is called binding,
and the game or bird flown at is the
quarry.
The making of a hawk tame and gen
tle Is termed reclaiming. Hawks when
In training have a couple of bells fas
tened round the legs by two narrow
leather thongs, called Jesses. This Is
to discover them more easily from
their wild brethren while flying and
gives notice that they are trained birds.
This has- saved many a hawk's life
from the gamekeeper's gun. A leather
thong, called a leash, is attached to
the jesses when the falconer takes the
hawk on his fist In the field, and the
same leash Is used to tie the bird on
