Show The Carson Appeal ought to be too big a paper to be untruthful. It charges that this paper defends the torture of Filipinos. It coined that charge out of its own perverted imagination. We have seen no defense of torture from any source. The ratio of brutes in the army may be as large as among the people outside. For the outside ruffians, there are policemen po-licemen and police courts, but the record of the police courts is not the record of the American people. In the same way a case now and then of ruffianism in the army is not the record of the army as a whole, but evidently the Appeal would be glad to make it such. The burden of the criticism of all such papers as the Appeal is meant to lie against the army generally and that is where they are making a mistake for the people will clown any party that tries that. |
