ask us to accept the verdict Of her tri-
bunal without question as we can ask
her to accept ours.

Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1898-11-02

AT the outset of the trouble with
Spain, America proclaimed to the
world through congress, and. with
presidential sanction, that the war
was not to be one of conquest, yet
now the administration, at the be-
hest of eastern capital, has determined
to hold the Philippines-by right of
compassionate at the same time the
president declares that national honor
demands such move. 1t is queer
species of consistency on the part of
the administration and one that the
people of this country, notwithstand-
ing that they will Loyalty uphold the
position of their country before the
world and fight it out with Spain on
the lines laid down if necessary, will
in future years stand amazed. No
nation ever found justification either
in so-called duty to destiny or anything
else-and much less in the idea of ma
tional honor-in breach of faith.
