SPACE WRITING
A farmer writes to The Independent
saying that he has been "a reader of
The Independent for ' six years and
by talking with his neighbors who
rlo not take it,-finding out what they
know. I have come to the conclusion
that it has made me the best posted
man on current events, as well as
the political situation in this part of
the country." Then he adds after
some more remarks: ''The News of
the Weew is the best part of the
1 aper. There I find all the news that
any decent man is interested in and
such comments as make it intelligible.
Why don't you put that on the front
page? Sometimes I find it on one
page and sometimes on another.
Worst of all. sometimes it does not
appear at all."
The "makeup" of a paper is one
of the worries that no one outside of
a printing office can understand.
Every week there is about eighty
columns that should go into eight
pages of seven columns each. Spec
ial places for advertisements are con
tracted for and the reading matter
must go around them somehow. In
regard to the "News of the Week"
sometimes not appearing tne editor
of the Independent has always fol
lowed certain rules of his own. They
seem to be good rules, for this paper
has wonderfully extended its circu
lation under their aplication. He
won't have what are called "features."
That is certain space that must be
filled by matter of a certain kind. He
won't have any "space writing." No
port of writing is allotted to a cer
tain space which must be filled and
stop. Most papers have a certain num
ber of columns for editorial matter,
just so much each issue, no matter
what sort of stuff is ground out to
fill it. The editor of The Indepen
dent will have none of that sort of
thing. The editorial in this paper
sometimes fills one page, somtimes
two and sometimes it runs all over
the paper and some of it is found on
almost every page. That is when
there is much editorial discussion.
When there is a week with not many
things demanding editorial discus
sion there is no padding done to fill

up a certain number of columns.
When the paper comes out without
The News of the Week, the editor
generally gets a number of letters
asking the reason why. Sometimes
there is a week when there is no
news of general interest. Such weeks
the editor does no "space writing" to
fill out certain columns. He devotes
the space to good, sound economic
writing or some article of educational
value of which he always has a store
by him. If there is one thing in lit
erature that the editor of The Inde
pendent despises more than all others
it Is "space writing." One half of
the daily twaddle that appears in the
dailies is attributable to writing un
der that condition.
During the last campaign the re
publicans advertised the full dinner
pail as the reward of every one who
voted the republican ticket. Now that
the meat trust has run the , price up
to a point where it gives millions to
the favored millionaires, they say to
wage workers "don't eat," and that
will soon bring the trust to terms. It
is probable that all the mullet heads
will immediately start on a long fast.
Morgan and his partners got $60,
000,000 profits out of promoting the
Steel trust. That was so good a thing
that they want some more of the same
sort, and they have inaugurated a plan
to convert $25,000,000 of preferred
stock into bonds on which transaction
they are to get four per cent. When
such enormous amounts go to the
stock and bond manipulators, the ques
tion arises who pays the bill?
Private letters from Washington say
that the republican leaders are disen
hartened, sick and sore over the
Philippines and the stories that con
tinue to come from there. Some of
them have said that the best thing
to be done is to let the democrats have
the government for a term, as in that
way the Philippines could be got rid
of without the necessity of republi
cans being forced to repudiate their
own policy.
The people of the territories are be
coming more anxious than ever to
change their staus to that of citizens
of the "United States. Since the fam
ous wobble of Justice Brown they find
themselves without constitutional
rights and are simply subjects of con
gress and not American citizens any
longer. But they will plead in vain
for statehood as long as there is a re
publican congress inspired with the
spirit of imperialism.
The beautiful theory so long and so
persistenly advocated by the repub
lican leaders that the trusts were
benevolent organizations, whose mis
sion was to lower prices by economy
in production, has received a rude
shock since the working men have be
gun to howl about the high price of
meat. The advice that they get now
is: "Don't eat meat." Rosewater
goes so far as to say that chickens,
ducks and turkeys are not meat and
the working men can eat them.
The fundamental difference between
David B. Hill and W. J. Bryan, oO
far as the discussion has gone is this:
Mr. Hill thinks the object of exis
tence of the democratic party is to
beat to get the offices and all of
his arguments are devoted to telling
how that could be done. Mr. Bryan
thinks that the object of the party
should be to maintain certain princi
ples and he devotes himself to that
purpose. Mr. Hill would rather be
Avrong if by that he could win and
Mr. Bryan had rather be right if by
that Le was defeated.
The statement in a local paper that
the editor of The Independent has
begun lately to advocate certain
socialistic ideas for the first time, will
be denied by fifty thousand voters in
this state who have read his writings
for the last twenty years. The things
that he advocates now he advocated
long before the peoples party was or
ganized and ever since.' If they want
to call public ownership of railroads,
telegraph and telephones socialism
they can do so. There is a public ow
nership of these things in Germany
and Russia, but neither the Czar
nor Emperor William are called soc
ialists. "
The head line men on the great dail
ies use every expedient to earn their
salaries. Their employers know that
thousands of busy men read only the
headlines and to this work the best
editorial writers are assigned. It takes
long years of newspaper experience to
condense an editorial into an ordi
nary display head, but there are many
of them who can do it. Then there

employ. The latest is the change of
prepositions. There was a cablegram
telling of the cruelty "of" the" Brit
ish troops to noncombatants, espec
ially to women and children. The
headlines read "Cruelty 'to' British
troops. "Of course no one would be
likely to read an article under that
headline. . 5 -y., '
Acknowledgement is, made of a com
munication from McArthur, Cleo, Ok
lahoma, a former Nebraskan and pop
ulist, touching upon the questions of
sicialism. As Mr. McArthur brings
out no new points not already covered
by such writers as H. Gaylord Wil
shire and others, we do not deem it
advisable to -print his communication.
Most of these writers put a stained
construction on the word "monopoly,"
using it as Prof. Patten does, making
all ' producers and consumers monop
olists, which The Independent be
lieves is nonsense. Prof. Ely's defi
nition, to our mind, covers the ground
admirably: "Monopoly is that sub
stantial unity of action on the part
of one or more persons engaged in
some kind of business which gives
exclusive control , with respect to
price 1 .
The Independent acknowledges re
ceipt of an interesting sketch of the
life of George Halsey Tuthill, Brook
lyn, whose article on "Anarchy and
Retribution" appeared in our col
umns some weeks ago. Our only re
gret is that, with manuscript on the
editor's table enough to fill four pap
ers a week the size of The Indepen
dent, we are unable to publish the
sketch mentioned.
Wm. Surman, Carlinville, 111., says:
"You are right on every question but
taxation. Eightly per cent or more
of all land values is not agricultural,
while twenty per cent or les3 is owned
by farmers. Farmers now pay fifty
per cent or more of all taxes." The
Independent has been waiting for re
ports of the last census to verify this
statement. Too often alleged statis
tics are simply the guess of somebody.
It is true that in Nebraska about 53
per cent of the taxes are paid in the
rural districts, not counting the in-dire-';
taxes; but here the agricultural
lands values are higher than an av
erage for the whole country.
Hon. J. W. Wolfe, familiarly known
to the readers of The Independent as
"Uncle Jake," has taken charge of
the editorial department of the WEST
TERN SWINE BREEDER, one of the

and a practical hog man, and will

News of the Week
Some months ago The Independent
said that if any great number of
Americans settled in Manila, and the
Philippines and the attempt was made
to govern them according to the laws
enacted by the Taft commission there
would be rebellion there of more force
and power than any the Filipinos had
so far inaugurated. . It seems that the
prediction came very nearly being
fulfiled last week. The editor of the
Manila Freedom and several other
newspaper men were arrested for crit
icising the Taft commission and of
ficers serving under it. Freedom
charged that Filipinos who had been
appointed to lucrative offices were a
lot of rascals, without character or
influence among their own people and
the whole lot of editors were clapped
In jail for lese majesty.
This kicked up a great furor, in the
town and a public meeting was held.
Resolutions were passed and a cable
gram was sent to Roosevelt asking
for protection from the depotism that
was crushing them. A short time ago
some criticisms of the same sort were
made against these officers and a dis
tinguished citizen, a Spaniard was ar
rested. He offered to prove the charge
that he had made and the judges re
plied that such an offer only aggra
vated his crime, so they fined him
$2,000.
It will do no good for these Ameri
cans over there to kick, unless they
want to get up a real rebellion and
fight for their inalienable rights. The
government of the Philippines is a
despotism and In a depotism, free
speech and a free press are impossible.
They might as well make up their
minds to keep their mouths shut,
get out of there, or fight.
In regard to affairs in the Philip
pines the Chicago Record-Herald says:
"District after district burned, natives
tortured, a population mercilessly cut
down, and to crown all, editors Im
prisoned arbitrarily, not for sedition,
but for printing stories of corrupt
practices in American administrations
The liberty of the press, with accoun
tability for its abuse, is ruthlessly vio
lated by the military authorities In
the Philippines in wanton defiance of
the first principle of American law."
How futile is all such talk as that
in , a republican newspaper. Ameri
can law indeed! There is no such
thing in the Philippines. When a
coterie of politicians in Washington
resilved to launch thi3 nation out on
a sea of imperialism without the
knowledge or consent of the American
people, when they resolved to annex
by force those islands and for a pre
tense of ownership paid Spain $20,
000,000 from money taxed out of the
sweat and toil of the masses, when
they did these things they threw to
the winds all law. There has been
nothing but depotism ever since.
Where in the statutes or constitution
of the United States is there any law
for wars of conquest? Where any au
thority for the. government of 10,000,
000 people by orders of the president
of the United States? Where is there
any law authorizing him to delegate
government to a commission and the
commission again to delegate r it to
rascals and renegades for whom the
people among whom they live have no
respect. Law! There is no such
simply despotism. , A government up
held by foreign soldiers is depotism.
Tht is the condition in the Philip
pines. It never had any other name
until the phrase "benevolent assimi
lation" was coined.
There are some things very amus-.
Ing about the complications ; in the
Philippines. It is said that the Taft
commission resolved to allow the edi
tors of Freedom to prove his charges.
As soon as that was announced the
merchants held a public meeting and
cabled a requets asking that the
charges be withdrawn if that editor
was allowed to prove his charges.
They said that it would open up such
a scandal; thatMt would ruin the au
thority of the commission if the
truth was allowed to come out and an
archy would be the result. ; ,
"Lombard street is up to tricks as
well as our hatitation for millionaires
in this country. Last Thursday a
financial paper printed in London pub
lished what purported to be a dis
patch from South Africa .declaring that
peace had been concluded with the
Boers. Then the Afrikander stocks
went up and a ' lot of lambs were
sheared just as , we shear them here
in Wall street. That news was allowed
to be circulated for more than 24 hours
uncontradicted, when Mr. Balfour
arose in the house of commons after
midnight and announced that there
was no foundation at all for the peace
rumors and the government had re
ceived no such news. .
Other cablegrams received later
say that Shakburger, acting president
of the Transvaal,- Styne, president of
the Orange Free State and Generals
Botha, , Delarey and DeWett, were
holding a council to consider terms
of peace. They had all received safe
conducts to assemble, but the Brit
ish government . stoutly denies that
there has been any armistice declared,
which is manifestly a lie on the face
of it, for it is not to be supposed that
all the Boer commanding generals
would leave their men subject to at
tack and go. hundreds of miles away
to discuss peace terms. The Dutch are
not that sort of idiots.
The investigation of the , British
camp near new Orleans has begun and
the British keep on loading transports
with horses and mules. It is probable
that after the war is over the state
department will be prepared , to take
some sort .of action one way or the
other. . That department was not so
slow about neutrality infringments
when it was determined to make war
on the Filipinos.. . The gentle Angi
celo, who had come to this country as
a representative of the Filipino repub
lic, went over in to Canada. Secre
tary Hay was quick to demand that
he should be driven out of Canada.
Now that there, are fifty commissioned
officers of the British army at New
Orleans shipping supplies, he sees no
infrinngment of neutrality at alll.
It . is announced .that the United
States district attorney at Kansas City
will institute proceeding' against the
meat trust. It is iYery evident that
something will faave to be done unless
the administration wants a lot or riots
on its hands. The price of meat has
raised to such a point in the eastern
cities that the common working peo
ple can not buy it at all. even the
poorest cuts, are out , of their reach.
The butchers say that they are not
allowed to buy their own cattle. If
they do and attempt to sell the meat
another shop, will start up beside
them which sell meat so low that they
have to quit.
More facts are coming to light tend
ing to show that the war in the Phil
ipines has been one of the most hor
rible of all the ages since days of Mo
guls. It is said that in northern Lu
zon that there are portions where the
male population has been almost
wholly exterminated. It is rare that
a grown man can be seen, nothing
but women and children being left.
Colonel Turner in his answer to the
critics of General Miles reviews this
matter and says: ..
"It is claimed that General Miles
seriously reflected upon the adminis
tration and the army in speaking of
the "marked severity" of the conduct
of war in the Philippines. But tliis
characterization has been more than
justified by the revelations of the Wal
ler court-martial at Manila in the last
few days.
'When we read the contradicting
testimony that an officer of the United
States ordered twelve unarmed Fili
pino prisoners to be shot in cold blood
without trial of any kind; when
American soldiers refuse to testify
lest they criminate themselves; when
a mayor, a captain and a lieutenant of
oiir forces all testify that their com
manding general "instructed Major
Waller to kill and burn and said that
the more he killed and burned the bet
ter pleased he would be; that it was
no time to take prisoners and that he
was to make Samar a howling wilder
ness; that Major Waller asked Gen
eral Smith to define the age limit for
killing, and he replied, 'Everything
over 10' then I must ask the Ameri
can people if in supreme disgust and
horror they do not thank God that
there was one man in America with
courage enough to call a halt.
"If General Miles had characterized
such conduct as brutal, savage, hor
rible, bloodthirsty, barbarous, he
would have, said too little. With the
very foundation of our faith shaken
by this revelation, wondering what
further appallingr events may be hid
den behind the veil of distance, can
the people be blamed if they feel that
it is high time for General Miles or
some other officer with something of
the milk humanity in his veins, to be
sent over there to supervise things?
England has just shot an officer for
a crime like that revealed In the Wal
ler court-martial."
- But our imperialists did nothing
of that kind. The court-martial that
tried Major Waller for shooting Fil
ipino prisoners without trial acquit
ted him. They may have been in
fluenced in rendering such a verdict
by the evidence that was submitted
showing, that Major Waller was only
carrying out the orders received from
his commander. General Smith. .All
this goes to show. that in barbarity,
tTi American war on the Filipinos far
exceeds the British attrocities in
South Africa. Weyler never even at
tempted to do such things a3 have
been done in the Philippines. We
have made one of the blackest pages
in all history and the facts will be
known to all the world in due time.
The insufferable arrogance and im
perialism of Secretary Root has made
the office of commanding general so
intolerable that it is doubtful whether
any self-respecting man can ever again
be induced to acept it. Root issues
hundreds of orders to which Miles'
name is attached to which Miles knows
nothing until he sees them in the pap
ers or they are brought to his atten
tion - in some other way. General
Schofield advises officers of the army
not to accept the position. He had
somewhat the same exjerience In less
degree himself. Root's effort is to
reduce the commanding general to a
position of ridiculous insignificance.
As soon as Miles told the Philippine
committee about the report of Major
Gardener, Roosevelt gave the corres
pondents to understand that Miles
would-be retired. Other army offi
cers took the hint and have shut up
like clams. Censorship does not work
to perfection in this country yet, as
the publication of this report shows,
but give the imperialists time and
they will bring the thing to perfec
tion after a while. -
There Is to be a meeting of the
British colonial premiers in London
before long. The other day in the
house of commons a member asked
Mr. Balfour if Secretary Hay had been
invited. Mr. Balfour was forced to
confess that the United States was not
officially one of the British colonies,
and Mr. Hay had not been invited.
Doubtless the member who made the
inquary did so in all seriousness. He
knew that the British had military
camps in this county and that the
United States had really furnished
more aid in the war upon the Boers
than any of the officially known col
onies, and he was anxious that Secre
tary Hay should not be slighted.
Since the English newspapers pub
lished after the cleath of Rhodes be
gan to arrive, it is learned that this
South African imperial collossus had
planned a ' world-wide secret society
on the same lines of the organization
founded by Layola, composed of the
milionaires of all nations who should
take charge of the world and run it to
suit themselves. That was Mr.
Rhodes' most daring conception. Tn
fact he would, have the billion and a
half of the inhabitants of this old
planet execute a deed of release to the
millionaires of all their claims to a
foot of the universe. Mankind would
become squatters living on this sphere,
not by any inalienable right, but sim
ply by the grace of the millionaires.
He saw the tendency of modern mul
let heads to vote the property of the
world to the already rich, and only
wished ; to hasten the process.
Senator Hanna has secured the re
lease of Rathbun from jail in Cuba,
whereat all the republicans are great
ly rejoiced and are sending the sena
tor hundreds of letters congratulating
him. Nothing so delights the average
republican as to hear that one of the
imperialistic thieves or murderers has
escaped punishment. They all re
joiced over the acquital of Waller. The
Independent said when Rathbun was
arr--ted that he would never be punished.
The testimony before the Philippine
committee this week was given prin
cipally by returned soldiers, who swore
to the horrible cruelties inflicted upon
the Filipinos by the "water cure" and
the burning of large towns and vil
lages. The torture inflicted upon
these men was most horrible and was
administered by privates in the pres
ence and by the orders of commis
sioned officers.
The London Hooligans had a , big
time when they advocated a war on
the Boers and a bigger one when the
first . British victory was announced,
when they went on a 48-hour drunk
and made London a pandemonium.
Now they are to get their just deserts.
The British government has placed a
tax on bread and the Hooligans will
have less to eat for some years to
come. The British budget was sub
mitted to parliament last week. The
cost of the Boer war is as follows:
Cost of war to date $ 825,170,000
Cost of war 1902-3 . 227,250,000
National debt 3,739,030,000
Increase in national debt, 290,000,000
Expenditures last year.. 873,045,000
Deficit to be met 226,620,000
New bond issue 160,000,000
The new ta provides for a tax of
6 cents a hundred pounds on corn,
wheat and other grain, and 10 cents a
hundred on flour. Besides these, the
income tax is raised and many new
stamp duties added. Upon the an
nouncement of the budget, flour went
up a shilling a sack.
There is a big row in Belgium.
There has been riots and bloodshed
in Brussels and other cities and a
general strike has been ordered. The
strike In Belgium is a political move
and it generally brings the pluto
crats to time. A few years ago they
had one and got universal suffrage and
something added to it. That is, in
Belgium every man votes, but some
of them vote three votes, some two
and some only one. What common
people now demand is "one man. one
vote." They seem determined to get
it if they have to smash the whole
business interest of the kingdom.
A large amount of space has been
devoted this week in the dailies con
cerning the peace negotiations with
the Boers, but this writer long since
learned to fight shy of the dispatches
inspired by the British government.
The only thing that it seems safe to
say is that the Boer commanding gen
erals, the president of the Orange Free
State and the acting president of the
Transvaal have assembled under a
safe conduct and are discussing the
question. It is probable that some
sort of communication has been car
ried on with them by the British gov
ernment in London, but what terms
have been proposed no one knows, al
though there have been columns , of
euesses printed.
