do their work amid n storm of detraction.
The army in especial was attacked In a
way which llnally did good, for In tho
•nd It aroused the hearty resentment of
the great body of the American people,
not against the army, but against the
army's traducers. The circumstances of
the war made it one of peculiar difficul-
ty. and our soldiers Wtre exposed to^ pi -
culiar wrongs from their foes. They
fought In dense tropical jungles againt-t
enemies who ware very treacherous and
very cruel, not only toward our own
men, hut toward the great numbers of
frh ndly natives, the most peaceable and
most civilized among whom eagerly wel-
comed our rule. Under such circum-
stances, among a hundred thousand hot-
blooded and powerful young men serv-
ing In small detachments on the other
side of the globe. It was Impossible,
tnat occasional instances of wrong-doing
should not occur. The fact that they oc-
curred tn retaliation for well-nigh in-
tolerable provocation can not for one
moment be admitted In the way of ex
cuse or Justification. All good Americans
regret and deplore them, and the war de-
] partment has taken every step In Its pow-
1 er to punish the offenders ami to prevent
or minimize the chanci of repetition of the
offense. Hut these offenses were the ex
ci ptlon and not th rule. As a whole our :
ti oops showed not only signal courage
and efficiency, but great humanity and
the most sincere desire to promote the
welfare and liberties of the islanders. In
a series of exeedingly hsrresslng and dif-
iicult campaigns they completely over-
threw the enemy, reducing tin;'.i llnally
to a condition of mere brigandage; and
wherevi r they conquered, they conquered
only to make way for the rule of the civil
government, for the Introduction of law
and of liberty under the law. When, by
last Julv. the last vestige of organic d
Insurrection had disappeared, peace and
amnesty were proclaimed.
The congress which has just adjourned
has passed legislation of high important .*
and great wisdom in the interests of the
Filipino peopl. H*ti -t and foremost, they
conferred upon thorn by law the pren-nft
tidmirabl" civil government; in addition
they gave them an excellent currency;
tliey passed : measure allowing the organ-
ization of a native constabulary: and lh> \
provided, in the interests of the island,
for a reduction <>f twenty-five per cent
in the tariff on Filipino articles brought
to this country. 1 asked that still further
reduction should be made. It was not
granted by the last congn ss, but 1 think
that In some shape It will be granted b>
the next. And even without it. the rec-
ord of legislation in the Interests of the
Filipinos is one with which we have a
right to feel great satisfaction.

BY THE WAY, THAT WAS CONSIDER-
ABLE OF A CYCLONE WE HAD YEST1 RDAY
been one of the most enjoyable days
of his trip. At fargo, Jamestown ami
Bismarck he made stops of from half
to an hour and discussed the condi-
tion in the Philippines, the tariff and
the general prosperity which the coun-
try is enjoying. Stops also were made
at. Carleton. Tower, Valley City, the
home of Governor White; Dawson,
Dickinson and Medora.
At Bismarck the president was in-
troduced to a number of Indian chiefs,
some of whom had fought against Cus-
ter. He had traded with two of these
Indians eighteen or twenty years ago
and he instantly recognized them. The
chiefs presented an address and a pipe
of peace to the president, who had a
few word> of greeting and thanks for
each man. -The most interesting cer-
emony of the day occurred at Medora.
where the president at one time own-
ed a ranch and which was his jiosf-
offlce address sixteen years ago. when
lie was eherf of Billings county. Me-
dora is a smati place, but the ranchmen
from the surrounding country had
come Into town, and they gave a truly
western reception. Joe Ferris, who
was the president's old foreman, and
his b-other, 3. M. Ferris, met the pres-
ide! at Bismarck and rode with him
Medora.
The president's speech at Fargo was
as follows:
My Fellow Citizens: The Northwest,
whose sons in tho civil war added such
brilliant pages to the honor roll of the
i. public, likewise bore a full share In
the struggle of which the war with Spain
was the beginning, a struggle slight ln-
ii. .ii when compared with the gigantic
death struggle which for four years
stamped to and fro across the Southern
States in the civil war; but a struggle
traught with consequences to th- nation,
ami indeed to the world, out of a'l pro
portion to the smaliness of the effort up
on our part.

The above tells the story of tho city
election. The daj was quiet in every re-
spect. but little disturbance, none at all
until late in the evening after the polls
had closed. There was not a full vote
polled in any of the wards.
The election of Governor Barnes for
mayor means that Guthrie is to have a
business administration, that city im-
provements are to continue, that the city
is to advance rapidly, that the people of
Guthrie do not want to retard and delay,
that "town builders" are on top here in-
stead of "town killers."
Governor Barnes himself, in his opera
house spec* h. told what bis election w ould
mean; he told what he stood for. and that
will be what Guthrie will havi -a business
administration, paved streets, excellent
-ewers,, extension of waterworks, street
cars, more railroads, and the permanent
•anital of the state of Oklahoma.

Harrison was elected mayor of Clti-

majority by unoflicial count, over
Graeme Stewart, the republican can-
didate, being The vote was:

on. socialist, 11,'Jli'; Haines, prohibi-

democrat, 166,756; Henecy, republican,
12K.413; Hoyt, prohibition, 8^28 t'• •!-
linn, socialist, 5,884. The early rh
turns were in favor of Stewart and at
one time he was 2.000 ahead but tlm
later returns cut down his plurality
sotadily, and the republican leaders
In private conversation admitted that
Stewart was defeated by about mmi.
In 1st. precinct of 1! 1 si ward in which
both Harrison and Stewart reside, rlie
vote was: Harrison 41. Stewart 101.
In the last mayoralty election the vote
was Harrison 82. Hanecy, 54.
The chief issue in the campaign was
| the traction question, both candidates
favoring ultimate municipal owner-
ship of tho street railways. Stewart,
advocated an immediate improvement
of conditions, making the best terms
possible with the companies. Harri-
son recommended a delay until the
city had obtained what it desired from
the companies.
Mayor Harrison said tonight:
"I regard the present election as less
of a personal victory for myself than
as a victory for municipal ownership
a victory which should lead to the
development of public national as well
us municipal utilities. Partisan lines
were cast aside to a great extend, hut
the result is, at the same time, a sub-
stantial endorsement of my administra-
tion."
The republicans elected .John F.
Sniulki for city attorney hv 0700 plu-
rality and Fred ('. Bender for city
clerk by 3700; the democrats elected
ISrnest Hummel for city treasurer by
21,700. The new city council will
consist of republicans, 33 democrats
and one Independent democrat. The
result in one ward is still in doubt. The
old council contained 70 republicans,
30 democrats and one independent.
