Before, however, the presidential

are a number Of questions that ought
to be 50 clearly recognized by the
general public as having no bearing
upon the main question Of expansion
that ii may be well to refer at least to
one Of them 1t is being said in print
and IN speech that the Filiplnos are
lighting for exactly the same thing as
our forefathers, and that therefore there
Is nothing TO be done except to act on
precedents Of The past and back out Of
the Philippines just as the British

For what did our forefathers con-
tend2 For that which they were well
able to carry on-selfg0yernment.
What else did they regard as their
lnalienable rights? Life, liberty and |
the pursuit Of happiness. And in order |
to secure their point, what declaration
did they make regarding themselves?
That all men are born free and equal

reality the nation they made was
almost disrupted from ~ to '65.
Very well. Viewed dispassionately
these noble nontenders for the rights
Of men, ought themselves earlier than

This brief look at ourselves and our
past is designed to make one point
clear, in order that it may be recognized
as having little bearing upon the
present dispute. The point is that
there is such a thing a. a dominant
race, aud while in theory men are born
free and equal, and while in fact the
pursuit Of happiness is the object Of all
of Us, yet in practice the pursuit of that
happiness will ever have to be along
lines decided as TO their direction by
the dominant race, or the struggle for
that supposed happiness will have to
be repressed by the dominant race.
BY this / do not for a moment mean
that injustice should be done, but
simply that the assertiveness and the
physical eXuberance of a barbaric or
semi-savage race has always been con-
sidered iit SUBJECT for repression in
order oproduce governmental stability.

what the "men Of '96D contended for,
we shall see that the FilipiDos in the

not parallels of our own heroic past.

Jefferson or to devise and live under a
constitution as elastic and as enduring
as that Of the United States. Beside
all this, with their own natural an
tagOnisms and ignorant antipathies
arising rem their imperfect idea Of
social relations, the greatest hope for
them of either life or shadow of liberty
or CLINT Of happiness, is to be found
in their remaining under the school
