his team, and was voted the hardest hitter and
most spirited rider OF the visitors. Some OF the
best drives and longest Guns of the day were made
by Maxwell Stevenson, while the player least N

Editor Watterson's View.

Editor Henry Watterson has the fol-
lowing in recent issue of the Louis
vile Courier-J Journal:
"Anti-expansion is anti.democracy.
The democratic party OF Jefferson
and Jackson was ever the apostle OF
nanional expansion. Manifest destiny
was its rallying cry. That idea is none
the less living and vital today than it
was eighty years ago. All these new
territorial acquisitions are with us to
stay. They came to us unbidden. They
were sent to us by that mysterious
power to which we owe all that we are,
all that we have. Who shall say it nay?
He who does this-and the more surely
if he be a party leader-pronounces his
own political damnation. The activi-
ties of the Atlantic are being gradually
but certainly transferred to the Pacific.
We are there already. Shall we seize
upon the means of confirming our pow
er, which God has given us, or shall we
let them go, and later on, at infinite
cost. be obliged to fight to recover
them?
mo party ever threw itself across the
pathway of its country's greatness and
glory and lived to tell the tale, and no
party ever can. or will, or ought"

"The party's object" as stated by Lincoln.
'is to maintain In the world that form and
substance of government whose leading OBJ
ject is to elevate the conditions of men, lift
artificial burdens from shoulders. clear the
paths of laudable pursuits for all, afford all
an unfettered start and fair chance in the
race of life." and it is the object of the re-
publican party today.
The duty of nation becomes surely and
solely the duty of any successful political
party. This has been realized by the re-
publican party, which has willingly borne
the nations greatest responsibilities, teach
ing to the world that he who serves his
country best serves his party best. But after
all, the most is said when 1t Is proclaimed
that the republican party is the party of
LiUcoln, Grant. Garfield, Blaine. Harrison
and McKinley--of liberty, equal rights,
opportunities, honesty and prosperity-of
the civil war and the Spanish war.

people against hasty and dangerous actions

Ii we find that the FiIpinOs are In rebel
