Aguinaldo's Historical Parallel

Aguinaldo, who appears to be better
posted In history than In geography or in
political science. makes a good point when
he asks what would our fofefathers have
thought II, after helping to free these coll
onies from the British yoke. Lafayette and
the French had proposed to retain" the
whole or part Of this country. or even one
Of our chief cities-Boston, New York or
Philadelphia-at that time?
The morality of the proposition In favor
Of "holding on" to the Philippines is very
like that of the finder of pocketbook in
the street who should seek to Justify his
retention of the find by saying that the
owner was bad fellow or a spendthrift.
and that he, the finder, being a moral and
religious person. would know how to make
much better use of the money.-Baltimore

The nomination of Colonel Roosevelt
for governor of New York is an example
of the impotency of boss rule in the face
Of fully awakened popular sentiment.
1t was only after Roosevelts strength
was shown to be utterly irresistible that
Mr.. Platt veered around toward him.
Platt was bent upon defeating Governor
Black for denomination because the gov
ernor had not been acceptably plant,
but Roosevelt would have been his very
last choice, under ordinary circum-
stances. This because the colonel is a
political incorrigible. He has never been
amenable 10 party discipline, and he and
the boss have always been at political
swords points. When Mr.. Platt found.
at the eleventh hour, that he was in
danger OF being overwhelmed by the
strength of Roosevelt, he discreetly
made the best Of the situation and gave
the colonel his political blessing.
