Beer for Soldiers

Commissary General Eagan, of
the War Department, advocates in
his testimony before the War In
Vestigating Commission the use of
beer in the army. He said. "I
believe beer should be furnished
to the men in such quantities as the
commanding officers may decide
to be best, and in the interest of
the men, would be willing to in
cur the hostility Of the blue ribbon
society"

An Episode in Imperialism.

Formosans are more nearly civ
ilized-or less savage--than the
Filipinos, but Japan in its "imper-
ialism" had undertaken to give
them the advantages Of orderly
government, which, OF course,
China did not.
1t is interesting to read, there
fore, that two hundred rebels in
Formosa "have attacked a village,
burned thirty seven houses, killed
a JaPaneses inspector of police and
six constables, and drove the con.
stable, laden with the heads Of his
dead companions, into the woods"
that zone constable who escaped
killed his wife and child to prevent
them becoming captives.
Who would deny US the Joys of
Imperialism

The Philippines Want the $50, 900
That is a precious bargain we
have made! We are to pay to
Spain twenty millions for what be-
longs to others. All that is left to
Spain on the Philippine Islands
are some Z 900 Of her soldiers as
prisoners in the hands OF the peo-
pie OF those islands. Before de
livering these prisoners TO Spain,
the Philippines want those twenty
millions. IF our government
wants more for it's twenty millions
ithas to make war on the Philip
pinos. 1t is therefore a war we
have bought, and the worst is tina,
the Philippines according to our
own ideas are justified to fight
against the American flag as
they have fought for years
against the Spanish. With the n
there is no difference between the
two; both have the same aim-to
conquer them. Our treatment OF
Cuba and her people, the false and
unfulflled promises we have made
to them, will show them the utter
selfshness of American ideas of
self-government for the colonies.

Bryan Against Expansion.

Colonel William Jennings Bryan
OF Nebraska, the farsighted and
true leader OF the Democracy,
takes the proper stand on the ex.
pansion question by coming out
in direct opposition to the same.
My reason" he says "ior leav-
ing the army, was set forth in my
letter to the Adjutant General
rendering my resignation. Now
that the treaty OF peace has been
concluded, / believe that 1 can be
more useful to my country as a
civilian than a soldier" Col.
Bryan then proceeded to the dis
cussion ofpublic questions, saying:
THE people Of the United States
having rescued Cuba from foreign
control, may now resume the dis
cussion of the domestic problems
which confront this nation and to
the consideration OF the new ques-
tions arising out Of the war.
II may be in error, but in my
Judgment our nation is in greater
danger just now than Cuba. Our
people defend Cuba against foreign
arms; now they must defend them
selves and their country against
a foreign idea-the colonial idea
of European nations. Heretofore
greed has neruA-teI che GOVERN
ment and used its instrumental
interterences for private gain, but
now the very foundation princi-
plies OF our government are as
saulted.
The imperialistic idea is
directly antagonistic to the idea
and ideals which have been
cherished by the American peo-
pie since the signing ofthe Declar-
alton OF Independence. Our ma
ton must give up any intention OF
entering upon a colonial policy
(such as is now pursued by Euro
pean countries) or it must abandon
the doctrine that governments
derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed.
1--WE may believe that govern
ment comes no from the people or
we may believe that governments
come down to the people from
those who possess the heaviest
cannons and the largest ships, but
we cannot advocate both doctrines.
To borrow a Bible quotation, "A
house divided against itself cannot
stand; paraphrasing Lincoln's de-
claration, | may add that this nation
cannot endure half republic and
half colony-half Tree and halfvas-
sal. Our form Of government, our
traditions, our present interests,
and our future welfare all forbid
our entering upon career Of con-
quest.
Jefferson has been quoted in
support Of imperialism, but our
opponents must distinguish be-
tween imperialism and expansion;
they must also distinguish between
expansion in the western hemi
sphere and an expansion that in
wolves US in the quarrels of Europe
and the Orient. They must still
further distinguish between expan-
sion which secures contiguous ter
rItory for future settlement and ex,
pansion which secures US alien
races for future subjugation. JEFF
ferson favored the annexation OF
necessary contiguous territory on
the North American continent, but
he was opposed to wars of con-
quest and expressly condemned
the acquiring Of remote territory"

The play was of life in Colorado in

it better than any piece they have a.
tempted.
After the curtain went down on the
last act q $25 watch was given away.
The old method of drawing q number
out of hat was chosen. Three men
from the audience were chosen as
judges after some hard work of getting
any to serve. and then the numbers
were put in a haiti and q small boy,
blindfolded, was told to draw a number.
He drew 3242 and Joe Brick called out
from the audience, Here it is" He
was then taken up on the stage and
given his choice of four or five time
pieces. His choice was an open face
gold case with an Elgin movement.
The company will stay another
