At that time the firm hand of tho President was on the throttle of the machine of state and he wets ably supported by his cabinet. He knows all about the unprepared con­ dition of the army, and he also knew far more than the yellow journals did about the condition of the Spanish defences in Cuba and other Spanish possessions. He did all that he could to honorably avoid the necessity of war, and when war be­ came inevitable he delayed it as much as possible that some sort of preparation might be made for the care of so vast a number qf men. Events followed one another rapidly, and long before it was supposed possible by men possessed of calm judgment at the outset, peace was declared and the end was reached. And now theseeanie yellow sheets, and some th \t have not before partaken of that hue, are filling the air with words, pen pictures of horrible suffering, of tales of starvation among American soldiers, of privation and woe. These same sheets are as lotidly denouncing the ad­ minstration for sending unprepared troops into a feyer stricken country as they not long ago denounced it for not doing that very thing. It iB consistency with a vengeance. But it sells papers. • It also makes good campaign material, fur a minute. This our Democratic brethern of the press have easily seen and are eagerily seizing. Something must be done to stem the tide of admira­ tion that is sweeping over this continent for the brave soldiers, snd for the men who managed affairs. Something must be done to belittle a glorious victory, or impair its full significence, add this is being done, unscrupulously. What are the true facts regarding the treatment of our men ? This everyone desires, most earnestly, to know. The President has commanded a full investi­ gation. This is right. Let it be the most rigidly searching possible. If there has been neglect, or omissions, let those re­ sponsible suffer. If there has been un­ necessary Huffering due to mismanage­ ment or incapacity let those responsible receive the stern reproof of the people. If it has been due to red tape, let red tape be abolished iu the war department and a practical system inaugurated. The remarkable thing about this mat­ ter is that while the yellow journals are busy denouncing everything^ and every­ body, the boys who are raturning from the front say little of poor treatment. There are exceptions of course. There was one exception. A member of one company went home and told of the starvation Of his company, and got do­ nation enough to fill a car. A few days ago be was tried by court martial by his company. The soldiers-wbo are returned have little to say of neglect. It is pos­ sible they know better than the yellow journals, what war is, and what it means to carry it on, and see that all was done for them that was possible, under the existing circumstances, to do. There is to much red tape about the war department, and there has undoubt­ edly - been unnecssary delay in many things. But it is one thing to sit at home and run the nation, or world, and another thing to take an active part in the work. The war has been an object lesson. It has shown defects in our system thatcan and must be corrected. But a feeling of national pride ought to prevent* to some degree, the uncalled for criticisms of a por­ tion of the press. To the world at large they yoice the feelings of the soldiers, and if the thing is continued it will begin to believe that despite victories achieved, the American soldier is not brave, and that he can not stoically stand up and fac« the hardships of warfare. It will be hard for foreign readers to realize that the sensational screams emanting from shoddy bheets may be inspired by a de­ sire to make political and financial capital. Prohibition Convention.

He Delivered at Rockferd One the Finesr Speeches Heard in This Section. of LABQS AUDIFNC2 PBESENT. He Receives a Cordial Greeting, De­ livers Patriot:': Sentiment and Thinks th« Flair Should Not be Lowered Over Che Newly Gained Possessions. Judge Charles E. Fuller delivered the -address at the peace jubilee at Rockf jrd, and we glean from the Morning Star of that city the following: Judge Fuller received a cordial greet­ ing. Boone County's favorite son is as popular here as in his own home, and he gave hie Winnebago County friends a splendid talk. Mr. Fuller is an expan- siorist of the most pronounced type and his emphatic declaration that the flag should never come down in any part of the conquered t rritory was receiyed with no light applause. Judge Fuller said in part: JCDQB fuller's ADDRESS. "Mr. Chairman and Fellow .Citizens:-- I rea'iztt that it is impossible for my voice to reach to the outskirts of this great crowd gathered here for the pur­ pose of calebrating the advent of peace. However there will be hundreds near the platform who can hear the little that I have to say. As I look through the tn js I sea yonder floating in the breeze what is a protection to you and to me and to millions of others across the seas. It is the starry flag of the free. "It floats not only over the republic but also over the islands of the sea, and floats so high that like the sun and the moon and the stars it is s- en the world around. I am one of those who say that where that flag has tx en raised there let it float furevor and forever. "We celebrat3 to-day the advent of S^ace. We call it a jubil' \ But there are ifferent kinds of peece. It is not a peace like the grave that ends all respon­ sibility. It is a peace that adds uew cares to the American people end the Anglo-Saxon race, which in my belief iB the reo which in the providence of God is to rule the earth hererft >r. "Peace which gives rest is an easy thing to e cept, but the kind that gives added responsibility ia another thing We en1 red on a war which all the people a^.* d was a just war, and did it to free the people of neighboring colonies from oppression. Shell we not give the in­ habitants of islands of the sea the pro- t ction of the American flag? "It is true that we did not enter upon war of conquost, but the end cannot be seen from the beginning. For there is a God of battles who dir- cts all wars and no matter what our obj- 3t wes in the be­ ginning. Providence dir< d our efforts aud the out jome is different from what we had fores an. Having forced a peace we must assume the responsibility of giving these people a government and the best that can be devised. We are in a position where we must assume this duty ps we cannot return them to Spain and must not declare then} free and in­ dependent uutil they have a strong and stable government. "There are those who say that we should retire and leave the Cubans to es­ tablish a government of their own. But we cannot afford to assume such a re­ sponsibility. 11 is due to them that we protect them. The American people have demonstrated that they are not only one, but the foremost oi the powers of the world. "Some say that we cannot govern the Philippines because they are separated from us by the great Pacific Ocean. I tell you that we can control them be­ cause we are joined to them by the finest waterway the God of nations ever gave to His chosen people. 1 am not one of those fellows who would haul down the starry banner where the valor of our sol­ diers and eailor3 has raised it. "No other nation ever accomplished so mnch as we did in three months. No other nation could have won what was won and held by the American nation. We find to-day that the wolves, jackala and hyenas are crawling over the battle- fields of the country and saying that everything was wrong. They are the jackals who look at the inevitable rough side of war instead of the glories we have won. "During the civil war there was these same. The yellow journals denominated Lincoln a buffoon, Stanton a tyrant and Grant a drunkard. They now dare not attack the chief executive but content themselves with making cowardly at­ tacks on those lower in authority. "In the days of 61 the boys from Rockford and Winnebago county did not aro to war as to a picnic, but to yield up their health and their lives if necessary for their native land. My fellow citiz us. patriotism should be encouraged in our country and the young should be taught that it is a proud thing to suffer and die for one's country. Let me impress it on yonr minds that the proudest boast on earth is that one is an American citizen. "It is God's eternal truth written on the blue of heaven that the Anglo-Sexon shall rule the world. These responsibili­ ties we wiil assume. The greatness of the republic is in the future and as time goes on we shall show the world such a ppec- tacle as it has never known. As America continues true to her principles she will roue to those grand planes which stretch out in the future and erect such a struc­ tures as the world has never known. Here and wherever the starry banner shall float there will always be room for all from whatever corner they may come " RANNELLS PREDICTS VICTORY. * 'A. ,f ,-vj : ':-t.

Han-*":M nells, chairman of the republican aitata committee, is hard at work at hisoffice at the Great Northern hotel laying the. plans that will bring success to tha state ticket in the fall campaign. Mr. Rannells, who spent a short vacation with' Secretary Van Cleave at Lake Miltona, Minn., visited his home in Jacksonville and learned something ot the sentiment throughout the state. before taking up his work in Chicago. According to Chairman Rennells tha ontlook for the republican tk;kei indue fall is bright with promise. Me said: "The signs all point one way, and that is in favor of a big republican. victory in Illinois, and in fact, all over the country. We are now completing as rapidly as possible our arrange- ments for the opening of the fall cam- ftg paign September 1. Details, such as '5|| meetings and speakers, we cannot yet ̂ announce. Our plans are woridtig^| smoothly, and harmony and enthn- siasm prevail. The organization is la ? .> good condition, and we will be ready to | • carry the war into the enemy's coon- try when we start. The people of the i£2~ state are more than satisfied with the . way the republican party has man- Jy aged the affairs of the country, and e»« " > pecially the conduct of the war. Tha state was republican in 1894 and 1896, and the opinion of the majority has not, tl changed since. While we believe the |?| people are all right, we are leaving no If stone unturned to make the victory doubly sure. Whatever good work, - well directed, and good organization. <; will accomplish will be done. There is "a no question aa to the result; the only, -> question ia as to the lize »f the mar £ Jority- . "An element that is a strong one in our favor is the position of the gold r.i democrats. They bolted the demo- ^ cratio ticket on the silver question in ' • 1896, and they hate free silver Just aa ; , much now as they did in 1896.
