The Philippine Problem.

MT. Bryan offers a happy solution of the Philippine problem. It is identical with the by The Age-Herald.
 In simple language expansion is demo- cratic, colonization is not. Trade expan- sion, progress, is American and demo- onization of the Philippines under the circumstances would be a mistake. We have captured and we hold the Philippines as we have captured and hold Cuba. Spain has been deprived of them. MT. Bryan is correct when he holds that we should &C., cord them the same treatment. Protect the people of the Philippines in forming a gov- ernment of their own people, instead of putting over them horde of officeholders of a different race and type who would go but for the spells. Such would lead to discontent and would avail our govern ment and our people nothing more than would be gained by holding a coaling sta- tion. navy yard and other necessary acces- sories to the protection of trade and allow ing the people to have an American sys- tenn of self-government.
 The senate should ratify the peace treaty as it is Then let there be a resolution passed by congress permitting a govern ment of and by the people in the Philip pines. Protect them in organizing it. Let our people who go there join with them aud make 1t a small model of the American republic.
 Disagreement must prevent any Euro- pean power from taking possession of the islands or depriving us of the trade we have practically gained. That IS sim- pie enough. Already the "open door, policy has been agreed upon. European nations would gladly join into a treaty of mutual protection, or in diplomatic par lance international neutrality" as Is now the case with the Samoan islands. That would bring about all that has been de- manded It would be democratic and American, and 1t would be far from the dangerous, costly experiment of coloniza- tion.
 The Philippines have been taken from Spain. They are ours. The broad policy of this republic being government by the peo- ple, let the people of the Philippines estab- fish their own government and protect them in it. MT. Bryan, though brief. out lines the democratic and the American policy.

policy.

Two great measures go to the people until January A, when they will again be in the hands of the peoples representatives at Montgomery. One of these measures Is comprised in the various bills for the up- lifting and bettering of the public schools of the state, and the other in the various bills that have been presented looking to the honest conduct of the peoples primaries
 The school bills relate to the more im- portant of the two propositions, because they directly concern the welfare of 800 900 brIght-faced children. These children can not stop growing to await the action of e constitutional convention and of legislation under It's provisions. They are approaching manhood and womanhood steadily each day. and if the people desire that they shall become more useful, productive and valu- able citizens they must secure at the hands of their legislators better school provisions and larger school appropriations. Let fine people move in this important matter Let public sentiment be made known. Let 1t bs made known. too. in q manner that

forth his famous doctrine In these words: ''We owe it to candor and to the amieable relations existing between the United States and the allied pwers. to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any part of the western hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety" This is the Monroe doctrine as Monroe understood it, and as Madison and Jefferson understood 1t. for both were living in 1923, when President Monroe put 1t forth in his annual message.
 Jeffersons comment upon the case as 1t stood is interesting He said: While Europe is laboring to become the domicile of despotlsm, our endeavor should surely be to make our hemisphere that of free dom. One nation Great Britain) most of all could disturbN us in this pursuit. she now offers to lead, aid and accompany us detach her from the powers, bring her mighty weight into the scale of free gov ernment, and emancipate a continent at a
 
 stroke Great Britain is the na- tion that can do us the most harm of any one of all on the earth, and with her on our side we need not fear the world. With her, then, we should most sedulously cher ish a cordial friendship, and nothing tends more to knit our affections than to be fighting once more side bv side in the same cause"
 We have "got there" at last. John Bull and Uncle Sam are, or should be, fighting side by side in behalf of an open door in China. The hope of Jefferson, and the de- light of Monroe and the emancipation of a continent, can be repaid in China, and this country will gain in the effort fully as much as Great Britain will.

DOG AS A WEDDING USHER
the New York Times.

The wedding of Francis B. Stevens, Jr., of Hoboken, N. J.. and Miss Adele Hor- witz of Baltimore, Md, which took place in Baltimore on Tuesday. had several Ic- markable features which set Baltimore so- ciety talking. There was neither maid of honor nor bridesmaid, but the bride entered the drawing-room accompanied by her pet fox terrier Jock, around whose collar were entwined orange blossoms. from which streamers of white ribbons flowed. During the ceremony Jock, after viewing the guests, sat upon the floor at the feet of his mistress. MT. and Mrs. Benjamin r. Horwitz gave their daughter clasps for her slippers, and her gown was so arranged that these confections of white Liberty vel vet and their jeweled fastanings could be seen by the guests.
 After the wedding the friends of Mrs. Ste vens paid her back in her own coin for the many practical jokes which she has been wont to play upon the society people of her native city. The carriage which con- veyed the bridal couple to the station was decorated with varius wedding articles, and created a sensation as 1t drove through the streets of Baltimore. Long streamers of white ribbon were tied at every possible point of vantage. and placards announcing that the occupants were bride and groom were attached to the sides and rear.
The age-herald., 1898-12-15

cannot be questioned Petitions in favor of better schools better superintendences bet ter teachers and longer terms should be sent up from every township. every school locality. The Age-Herald will present to- morrow a possible form of such peti- ton, which can be copied and modified to suit every section of the state There is time enough in which to secure signatures, but there is none to spare. In each sena- torial district there is a member of the com- mittee of thirty-three. and if he would take steps to push and energize the movement, it would be time on his part well spent time, too, that children may in later years rise up to thank him for from the bottom of their hearts
 he question as to the government of pri- maries is a fundamental one in Alabama. It is fundamental in Alabama because Ala bama is state in which the white people propose to stand together. It is funda- mental too, because in it is involved the question of popular rule. The peoples right to direct action, and to an honest count and report of their direct action should be unquestioned. In the surrounding states, notably in Georgia and South Carolina, the people have become thoroughly tired of in- direct ar representative action It is delu- sive and unsatisfactory. When a man can name, each for himself, his choice for this office or that, then government becomes pure democracy, instead of representative democracy. The latter kind of government is generally tinged-soaked in faot-with selfishness and jobbery. If the people desire pure democracy, they should make their desires known during the long recess, and they can depend upon The Age-Herald for keeping their desires in sight, and for keep ing the entire subject from passing into mental or physical pigeon holes.
The age-herald., 1898-12-15
LET THE PEOPLE BE HEARD
From the Anniston Index.

From the AnnlSJOn lnueX.
 The people of Alabama can safely be trusted on any question which effects the interests of the state. They are competent to say who shall fill the offices of solicitor; they are competent to say who shall fill the offices of county commissioners in their re- spectiye counties; and they are equally as competent to say whether or not con stitutional convention shall be held to re- wise the present organic law of this state. The members of the present general as- sembly should not be afraid to risk the peo- pie to say whether or not they want con stitutional convention. Many believe that a majority of the people want convention, and certainly sufficient number want 1t, to make 1t necessary that the people be given a right to say whether or not con- vention shall be held. The members of the general assembly can most assuredly make no mistake in submitting the question of a constitutional convention to vote of the people. Give the people a chance to be heard.

THE MAN WHO { RowL D

He cursed because he lost his job, He whined because his child fell ill.,, He came and went and slouched around And kept on sliding down the hill. One day his uncle died and left Him half the fortune he'd amassed, And people thought the man who growled Had cause to crack smile at last.
