DAVID I HILL

ginning of an era of Imperialism. A
malignant disposition could not have
selected worse word than imperial
ism. A better word which expresses
the true condition, is expansion. Tt
is not a new one, and the idea is not
novel. It has existed since the incep-
ton of national growth. Civilization
must go on until there is not one
upon which its benign light does not
fall. Europe, congested, is seeking
new outlets for trade and commerce.
One after another each has been TAX
en- up, and now European nations are
dividing the empires of the east. If
not now, when and how can America
expand, while three-fourths of the
globe are appropriated?
EXPANSION NOW OR NEVER.
cit is a choice between expansion
now or expansion never.
''But, am asked, what is to become
of the principle of self-government if
the people to be governed are not ac-
corded the right to say what shall be
their form of government, and who
shall administer it? no this I say
that nations as well as individuals
must pass through the periods of mi
nority. It was so with this nation.
See how closely our forefathers guard
ed the right of franchise. All consti-
tutional lawyers agree that the fran
chise is not natural right, but that
it is a legal gift. The natural rights
are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, and I can not believe that
it is an evil for the Stars and Stripes
to float over any people, and it is
therefore our duty to extend the
blessings of our civilization to all
men capable of receiving them."
