General Wood first said that the

DEPARTMENT IN HOLE
‘ OVER MOLO MASSACRE
Trying to Shield Wood, Darl
ing of Administration —Can-
non Boomed for President.
Washington, D.C., March 23,1906.
The war department has just deliv
ered itself of a long announcement
anent the Mt. Dajo fight or massacre,
whichever one chooses to call it, in
the Philippines. It is not written by
any of the officers who were on the
spot at the time of the fight, but was
prepared at the cabled suggestion of
General Wood by Major Scott of the
Fourteenth cavalry, one time govern
or of Jolo and now on duty in Wash
ington. It is Mt. Dajo, but it de
scribed conditions previous to the
fight and points out by inference that
no matter what happened to the Mo
ros, who were the victims of the bat
tle, that they had earned all that was
coming to them. It is a remarkable
political document from the fact that
it is an apology in advance for the
action of General Wood, who is nat
urally the darling of the administra
tion. . Tt is said that anyone familiar
with the situation in Jolo could have
seen the massacre coming for a long
time, that it was the result of a Moro
running amuck in north Borneo, a
British posession, some months ago.
The Moro in question took refuge in
Jolo and the case is made out for the
massacre that it was a punative ex
pedition. “Punative expedition” is
a term that the British are very fond
of, and was necessary to prevent
complications with a friendly power.
All this may be true in a way of
course. But it is quite remarkable
that the war department should have
thought it necessary to issue such a
remarkable defense of an action ob
viously to head off hostile criticism
that it knew was coming to it.
“Uncle Joe” Cannon is out with a
boom for the presidency. This is no
great wonder to those who know the
versatility and the ambition of the
present speaker. The boom is a pi.r
lor growth as it were, and has not yet
gotten extensively into print. But
the fact that it is more talked than
printed makes it all the more signifi
cant at this stage of the game. The
names that show early in such a race
are rarely ones that have to be ser
iously reckoned with at the finish
and it is thought that Fairbanks,
Foraker, Shaw and even Taft all be
long to this class that will be killed
by early publicity. But the Cannon
boom is more of the dark horse type.
It is said that the speaker regards
himself seriously in connection with
the position. This is not startling.
There is no office within the gift of
God or the people for which he would
not regard himself seriously if occa
sion offered, and one of the most sig
nificant facts in this connection is
that there is just now sprung the
proposition to make Secretary of
State Root union senator from New
York in place of Senator Depew,
which would take another little men
tioned but very real presidential
possibility out of the running. Sec
retary Root has already expressed
his distaste for the presidency, but
when it comes down to the final
choice, there are noc many men who
can be recalled who have put that
possibility aside. He is one of the
factors in the fight seriously to be
reckoned with, and the effort to
shelve him in favor of Speaker Can
non makes the situation at this stage
all the more interesting.
It appears from a report of the in
terstate commerce commission this
week that there is more trouble on
the railroad horizon. The commis
sion has set for hearing in New York
of March 23, a complaint affecting a
number of the big eastern roads. It
j is that they have been granting re
THE NEWS-HEARLD,
bates to favored shippers under a new
guise. They have been billimr freight,
carried at a lower valuation than he
merchandise warranted and thus in
effect paying a rebate to the shippers
while nominally sticking to the pub
lished schedule. This is a new’dodge
{;*. fho rhilw iy vvoi [d, Ivst if - is of
course not unexpected. As fast as
there is a way found of enforcing a
law, the corporations it is meant to
restrain find a way of getting around
it. More interesting than the mere
fact that rebates have been granted
is the decision of the commission at
this stage to prosecute the offense.
It indicates that the commission is
getting into training to enforce what
ever rate legislation is ultimately en
acted and makes the prospect ahead
for the railways a little more dismal
as it seems they will be expected to
respect the lasv, a thing they have
never heretofore attempted to do.
Little attention need be paid to the
rumors that the supreme court in
tends to proceed again>t the parties
who lynched the negro, Ed Johnson,
at Chattanooga recently. The negro
was nominally under the protection
of the supreme court, a stay of exe
cution having been granted, when the
citizens became impatient at the de
lay and took the law into their own
hands. Of course the members of
the supreme effurt were very indig
nant and there was talk of direct pro
ceedings for contempt of court. But
it is said now that while the depart
ment of justice has been direef- d io
inquire into the case, it will be left to
the local courts to punish the perpe
trators of the lynching if they can.
It is more than possible that the
whole matter will resolve itself into
a quiet warning to the local courts
not to inflame local opinion by stays
and delays that'will bring on lynch
ings in the future and thus put the
supreme tribunal in the ridiculous
position of having its orders ignored.
Birthday Celebration.
C. J. James, of Clinchem district,
celebrated his 69th birthday at his
home at Chestnut Mountain last
Wednesday. There were eighty-five
guests present and a sumptuous repast
was seved to all. Six children and
fifteen grand-children were on hand
to enjoy the dinner with Mr. and Mrs.
James. All pronounced the occasion
a most happy one, and each wished
for Mr. James many more happy
birth-days. Although this was not
a “goose dinner,” a poll was taken
on the governorship which, Mr.
James stated, resulted as follows:

Women as Well as Men Are Made
Miserable by Kidney and
Bladder Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessen s ambition; beauty,
» vigor and cheerful
ness soon disappear
when the kidneys are
out of order or dis-
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be "towards til- treatment of
these important organs. Tins unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
Itabit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy,
