HAWAII AND THE PHILIPPINES

President ]. NJ. Tanner, of the Agri-
cultural college. delivered the Maine
memorial address at Logan. From the
printed report, it appears that he is an
earnest advocate of Imperialism, a firm
believer in conquest.
With the moral phase of this ques-
ton it is not necessary to deal at pres
ent nor is it our purpose to treat it
from an economic standpoint in this
article. The Herald has already pointed
out the danger and disgrace of yielding
to greed at the first appearance of
temptation. and in the face of pledges
and deniSls expressed and implied. At
tention has also been called to the
questionable gain of annexation by con-
quest
But Mr.. Tanner made one remark to
which particular attention should be
called, for it would seem, at first blush.
TO be point in favor of territorial ag-
gression by conquest. IF Hawaii can
be annexed. why also cannot Cuba and
Porto Rico and the Philippines Beg he
asked
There is certainly a difference be-
tween the peaceful annexation of a
willing people and the forcible seizure
of an unfriendly race: the annexation
of territory in a peaceful way with the
consent of the owners. national and in
dividual, is quite different from the
taking of land by force of arms. on ac-
count of opportunity and power to do
it,
The annexation of Hawaii cannot be
made either a precedent or an excuse
for the conquest of other and more dis
tant islands of the sea Although Ha-
wall is 1000 miles from our coast, it is
still, geographically speaking, more
American than anything else. The
islands are nearer to this continent
than to any other This applies also to
Cuba ard Porto Rico, but not to the
Philippines. Yet there are other argu-
ments in favor of Hawaii which do not
apply with equal force to Cuba or Porto
Rico.
The idea of conquest is contrary to
every principle on which this govern
ment is founded. 1t is abhorrent to the
spirit of a republic like this.
But there is no other way to make
the Philippines our own. If we wrest
them from Spain, it will be necessary
to override the new government es-
tablished by the original owners and
inhabitants. to undertake another con-
quest, in fact, before it were possible to
bring the islands under our sovereignty.
This war was begun for the liberation
of Cuba; not to hold. but to free the
people. And so we cannot consistently
refuse to liberate the Philippines, since
we have deemed it necessary to litter
fere with Spanish rule there in the
interest of humanity
But the principal difference between
the case of Hawaii and Philippine con-
quest is that the ruling class in the
former islands are Americans. with es-
tablished American institutions and
American sympathies.
To annex the Philippines would be to
annex a series Of nasty revolutions. If
it is necessary to hold them for indem-
nifty, we should dispose of them as soon
as possible in some way.

SENATOR CANNON ON FUSION.

Senator Frank J. Cam on has arrived
home and has expressed himself, in
two separate interviews, on the ques-
ton of fusion. That he favors it goes
without saying. The senator never
gives out an interview that is not more
or less interesting, often amusing. Thus
it is amusing when he says that the
demands of the. present are that spo:Is
of office be reiegated to the rear; that
the petty strifes of personal politics be
all LAID aside and forgotten in the
grand struggle for principle. which we
all hold so dear" We haven't corbt
in the world that the fusion.sts. enc and
all. would he willing to sacrifice their
wives relatives for principle.
The senator made difference to The
Herald in his interviews, saying:
Here IN Utah l notice that The Her.
aid is opposing cooperation, but l be-
lieve the Democratic party will not
commit the great mistake of refusing
to Join ha-ds with the other silver
advocates in this great battle. 1 notice

and was encouraged to show OFF, and do

He rambled on for an hour, and the elder

The young man tired at last, and was
about to lock the organ when the elderly
man approached him and said in broken
English that he wished to play for few
minutes.
''They don't allow any one but an ex-
Derienced organist to touch the instru-
ment." said the young man. loftily. With
a little gesture. suggestive of meekness
and humility, the stranger presented his

that every few days The Herald has an
editorial on how the fusion movc,ns.,f
Is dead. and this leads me to believe
that the idea of co-coeration is SO
strong among the Democratic rank and
file that the leaders are afraid the peo-
pie viii revolt from their rule a-,d
make cooperation a success. From ev-
cry section the same Information
comes, that the people are wanting
united actor. o. the one great issue.
The Herald is opposed to fusion, and
believes that the Democratic party
would commit a great mistake by going
into any fusion scheme; by doing so it
has nothing to gain and much to lose.
Can Senator Cannon or any one else
name party that is more pronounced
" Cor silver than the Democratic
party?
Senator Cannon says he notices that
every sew days The Herald has an
editorial o. how the fusion movement
is dead. and this leads him to believe
that the idea of cooperation is SO
silrong among the Democratic rank and
file that the leaders are afraid the peo-
pie will revolt from their rule and make
cooperation p success. Surely the
senator has based very big belief on
a very frail foundation. Taking his
own method of reasoning, The Herald
has every warrant for believing that no
silver Republican favors fusion be-
cause Senator Cannon does. The SEN
ator should know that the Democratic
party, rank and file, in Utah, is not
given to following leaders blindly, aid
that they brook no dictation. And this
explains why the party objects TO being
dictated to by so-called leaders in
Washington in behalf of a scheme that
is not in the interest of the Democratic
party.
The senator says that from every
section the same information comes,
that the people are wanting united
action on the one great issue" His in
formation is quite different from that
which reaches The Herald. We. hear
from a great many Democrats in all
parts OF the state, and none of them
want fusion; they all say that the
Democratic party is the true silver
party, and that its platform is broad
enough for all silver men. In this con-
nection we should like to know if the
senator is aware OF the position taken
by such men as Hon. c. S. Varian and
Hon. Frank B. Stephens on the aues-
ton of fusion?
Neither silver nor the Democratic
party has any thing to gain from
fusion in Utah and so The Herald is
opposed to it.

1t is said that when Dr. Won Hole
ben, German ambassador at Washing
ton. called on President Mckinley, he
conveyed Emperor Williams desire for
an amicable statement of Americas in
tentions regarding the Philippines.
What the answer was is not known.
II is safe to say that the president
could have given no definite answer
as to the intentions of the United
states regarding the Philippines. and
this for the reason that they are now
held as a war measure. and the terms
of peace have not been suggested,
much less settled About all the presi-
dent could have replied would have
been that our intentions are honorable.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Courier-Journal: There was great re-
joicing in Spain when Cervera got into
the harbor of Santiago and there was
great rejoicing in Spain when it was re-
ported that Cervera ahd escaped from the
harbor of Santiago Likewise there was
much satisfaction in Spain when Camara
passed through the Suez canal. and, of
course. there will be much satisfaction
when Camara passes back through the
Suez canal. And yet there are some dull
souls who believe that Spain is not getting
her moneys worth out of this war.
