Sound Doctrine from 4 Democrat.

There never were words more fitly
spoken than those addressed by st.
Clair McKelway. editor of the Brook
Ign Eagle, to the guests at the Asso-
ciated Press banquet I'M Chicago
Wednesday night. His theme was
The Press and the Times" a. topic
which gave him an opportunity to
preach some sound and wholesome
doctrine to the assembled newspaper
men. McKelway is a Democrat, but
he is first of all a loyal American. with
clearness of vision and "A comprehen-
sive idea of the mission and destlnies
Of the United States. He justified the
policy of territorial expansion and vim
dictated in clear and ringing words the
action of the government IN the Philip
pines. II need not talk to those" he
said. ''who think that the Filipinos are
capable of self-government. Men who
can believe that can believe anything.
The Filipinos comprise many tribes at
odds with and strangers to one an
other. differing In religion, In language
and In habits, and some OF them have
been left for centuries in the savagery
Of which head hunting and cannibal-
ism are perhaps the mildest variations.
The more intelligent of them who have
unwisely confronted our troops are led
by men VINO will be without occupation
when they have no cause to sell and no
government to market. Those who
can regard them as heroes. patriots, as
virtuous and as intelligent resemble
the lecturer whose boast it was that he
made his facts as he went along. All
the evidence is against them. I take
it, we are going to hold those islands
/ doubt not we shall find difficulty
Difficulties, however, alter not duties.
No man living knows what we will do
with them or should do with them, for
we are learning as we go along. The
situation was not Of our making. could
not be of our preventing and will not
be one which we will abandon or run
away from. The Philippines are a
finality. We have them and We hold
them. We will govern them under the
universal right and obligation of the
capable TO govern the incapable. cast
upon their hands. We will do to them
the good which the Pilgrim and the
Quaker. the Huguenot and the Cavalier
would have done to the Indians, had
the Indians had sense enough to accept
it. They had not and the rest fol-
lowed. Good, or the consequences of
the rejection of it. will follow in the
Philippines. The world will not stop;
it will go right on. The higher races
will school or harness the lower ones
to the work of the ages, and American
newspapers should not cautiously for
get that fact in their long outlook on
events"
Mr.. Mckelway's clear and ringing
words need no comment. They should
be read and pondered in every city In
the land, and especially in Boston. and
in Chicago. where they will reach an
audience that stands sorely in need of
such teaching.
