For Organizers.

In the August Chariot is an ex-
cellent article advising deputies as
to manner of work In part it
says;
"If you believe your Order is on
the right basis, that it can and will
give the best protection, work for it
with all your energy, conscience
and intelligence. Talk your own
Order, let others alone. 'Compari-
sons are odious.' never make them.
Put your own strong features con
stantly and persistently before the
men you wish to secure. In doing
this You need not mention, nor re-
fer to, any other organization, the
one you are talking to will make
the comparison and his verdict will
be favorable expressed if you secure
his application, that is all you
want. This will save you from
censure and strengthen your po-
sition in the community in which
you work. Many II deputy has be-
gun his work in city, or town,
with splendid prospects, the people
seemed attracted toward the Order,
its plans and purposes were being
discussed upon the street corners,
in the stores and about the firesides
Success seemed certain, but in an
evil moment, possibly under great
provocation, the deputy became in
volved in heated public discus
sion with some Jealous member of
another Order already esta blished
or deputy who was himself trying
to organize for his Order. Hot
words, invidious comparisons and,
sometimes, almost street brawl
followed. The result was that the
fraternal system was stabbed in
the house of its friends, the people
who had been friendly decided to
have nothing to do with it, and the
deputy was forced to go to another
field of labor. He is Il wise deputy
who learns To bride his tongue,
treat all other Orders and Order
men friendly and attend strictly
to business. More organizers have
failed because of their attacks up
on sister societies than from any
other cause. If you must fight,
fight the old line and open assess
ment corporations but nerer fight
the f,'aternal Orders. Shouts of
triumph for our friends, grape and
shrapnel for the enemy always
wins"

WISE JUDGMENT CONCERNING
THE PHILIPPINES

Time was when this nation, in the
assume the responsibility of acquiring
and governing colonies. But we have
passed out of the period of adolescence
The nation has attained manhood. It
among nations as first-classer The
question therefore comes to u.s. as g.
nation, as it does to men, why should
we persist in our old-time policy of
tendency Of our development and the
drift Of our thought and spirit? Is
not this fear to take and manage the
Philippines, or the larger Of them, a
good deal of a bugbear born Of our
timidity, rather than Of our reason?
There is no better evidence Of capac-
ity than sshsibility of responsibility
imposed, accepted or sought The man
who feels the full Importance of any
responsibility carried by him is more
than half equipped at once to bear it
and we'll discharge it. SO it is with
nations. The late war, instead Of un-
settling, has steadied us. We are look
ing problems calmly in the face to-
day which we dared not even think
of six months ago, and to propose which
a year ago would have brought forth
a storm of indignant protest from all
over the land
Dread Of international responsibilities
means in a certain sense cowardice. 1t
certainly implies willingness to be
dwarfed by selfish isolation More
willing to be shut up within ourselves
selfishly than to masterfully come into
the open world and take our share
of duty and reward. Why should we
fear to hold the greater-at least-of
the Philippines? Is it the cost in
volved? That plea would confess us
financial incompetents. Is it fear of
the complications possible with other
nations? Then we must draw within
our shell and close it whenever any
us.
We have created the condition we
confront; shall we fear to grapple with
it? We have a duty upon US, one we
invited. and that we cannot manfully
relinquish. AS the situation now stands
the judgment Of the American people
is practically unanimous that President
Mckinley has decided wisely in not
claiming the entire group of the Phil
ippines as ours. nor yet in consenting
to the thought that we do not wish
to retain the islands. In other words,
he has left the question open whether
we shall be better off with or without
the Philippines. or whether we shall
content ourselves with Luzon and it's
harbor, great bays and Capital city.
The proposition to take any one or
more of the islands rests, as the New
York Times well observes, upon the
same justifying basis as the demand
for the cession Of Porto Rico and Of
one Of the Ladrones. We needed both;
we had full right to demand and to
The record-union., 1898-08-21

take them, and as to those two cessions
Spain has freely acceded, thus con-
Tossing our claim. To have been more
merciful in our demands would have
been foolishly indulgent to Spain, of
whom we asked no money indemnity,
as we had full justification for doing.
In waving that right to compel her
to pay the cost of the war, we were,
in fact, mercifuI to Spain beyond par
allel in the history of the world, since
no one will have the temerity to as
sert that one of the Ladrones and
Porto Rico are equivalent in value to
our war expenditure.
1t was wise therefore on the part of
President Mckinley to defer definite
expression of American claim and de-
mand regarding the Philippines, until
Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
could be consulted. That our motives
may be laid bare to the world he has
provided that Spain shall have an
equal number of representatives upon
the Peace Commission which is to de-
termine the fate of the Philippines, but
also that there shall be no umpire, that
we may be by a single vote OF
stranger robbed of the fruits of vic
tory.
In the matter of acquiring in the Phil
ippines, therefore, the President has
lined the American policy wisely in
RELOCATING the whole business to the
early future for adjustment, when war
alarms shall have ceased, and when
sober judgment and ripe wisdom may
have full play, and that whatever is
best for ourselves may be calmly
achieved But in the meantime we re-
linquish nothing we have gained, and
do not lower the flag where it has been
raised In the meantime, also, let us
be neither towards fearing acquisition,
nor braggarts affirming brutal de-
sire for conquest.

The Chico Enterprise" says that
"the Democratic party must be in hard
straits for timber when it seriously pro-
poses to head it's ticket in this State
with the name Of a man who Few
years ago publicly terminated his con-
nection with the organization, after
loading it with opprobrium and pre-
dieting that it would meet deserved dis
aster when the people thoroughly un-
derstood the animating motives OF
those who control its destinies Well'

Ii the Spanish press reflects govern
mental sentiment and intention, then
there is in the surrender of Spain a
mental reservation concerning the al
legged Cuban debt 1t is intimated in
Spanish journals that it is simply the
right thing to do to claim that the
transfer of the island carries with it
the liability for the debt created by
Spain in the name of the island, to
prosecute war against its people. That
is not the law, neither is it grounded
in reason. The money power holding
the Cuban bonds issued by the Span
ish Government will Of course press
the point and use it's endeavor to Sc
cure our acQuiescence in the scheme.
It will be to the eternal discredit Of
the United States if we become even
by silence a party to the plot. When
Spain surrendered all title to Cuba,
confessed it's independence and alb
solved it from allegiance to the Span
ish monarchy, it was giving it abso-
lutte freedom, freedom from all obliga-
tions incurred by Spain in warfare
against the island. If the Cubans are
to be saddled with the S4OO 100000 OF
debt Spain has piled up against her
by offering the Cuban revenues as Sc
curity, they will be practically slaves
to the tax gatherer for the next hum
dred years The simple sense Of the
matter is this-the principal, Spain, is
to be held, the involuntary security has

added citizens of intelligence, who are
capable OF taking the initiative, who
think, and who have a personal polit-
ical stake in the country. Professor
Gunton we'll says:
Our millionaires and employers have
not sufficiently realized that their safe
ty and ultimate prosperity depend on
the welfare of the mass of our people.
In fact, as a lesson of this war, every
American millionaire, every employer,
great or small, ought to learn that not
only his personal safety and safety of
his property, but the safety of the ma
ton, the respect of the Republic. the
honor Of our institutions, depends not
on his wealth, but upon the social stat
us and industrial condition of the great
mass of the laborers.

The Fresno Republican" we'll says
that the Democratic State platform Is
a woodpecker concern, a striking con-
firmation of the truth that the old is
sues are settled and there is no Demo-
cratic side to. the new one.
The record-union., 1898-08-21

Is it not remarkable that the Demo-
cratic Convention at it's late session, in
making a platform, never mentioned
the tariff question? That omission was

We must admire the wisdom and dis
cretion of the late Democratic Conven-
ton in remaining silent upon the ques-
ton of the annexation of Hawaii. 1t
was the very best thing the platform
makers could possibly do. All the same,
it was a damaging omission.
The record-union., 1898-08-21

A contemporary calls the State Dem
ocratic platform ''wobbly' 1t is worse
than that. 1t is fiat failure. "Wob-
bly," implies some degree of ability to
stand on its pins; the platform has no
legs at all; it is worse than evasive.
1t lacks tone in every respect, and in
many is absolutely false in its recfta-
ton of alleged facts. We incline to
the belief that the Stockton Record
has best named it in calling it a
boomerang" for it will certainly re-
bound to the discontinue of its manu-
facturers In it's condemnation Of al
legged evils it challenges thought as TO
what the Democracy has done when in
power to correct them, and the result
of research along those lines reveals
total absence of accomplishment by
that party. Our contemporary, the
Record" sharply arraigns the railway
labor wage plank in the platform, de-
claring it to be, as it certainly is, the
essence of paternalism. 1t might as
well have said tomfoolism. The idea of
a Government fixing the wage rate is
just a little too raw for the civilization
of the age.

Russia, for England now makes 30 per

Cars realms Augmentation of her

the demand from Russia for supplies

ment by our New York contemporary
is sound, since there are very many
evidences that Russia is to gradually
reduce her demand upon England by
developing home capacity to manutac-
ture. We know as fact that Russia
has lately called to her aid American
engineering and mechanical skill with
precisely that end in view. Whether
she can accomplish it, is another thing
The real issue in England is whether
the Government shall go into partner
ing works in foreign lands. The pres
ent Ministry says, Never, Government
patronage of that order is abomin-
able"
On the other hand, formidable party
declares that such notions are old-fash-
ioned and England must clear the way
for her trade with shells and cannon
if need be, or see Russia monopolize
that which should be free to all. In
one sense this position is the advanc-
ing and civilizing one, but on the other
hand it is strengthening Of a stand that
points toward dangers to free govern
ment, and gives strength to the social
istic idea of government ownership
and promotion. That there is a posi-
bility of the English Government being
driven into a war because of the issue
is not to be denied, but as matters now
stand, with as firm a man as Lord
Salisbury holding the helm, it does moi
appear probable.
