Disarmament of the Nations,

Tx Governor St. John spoke on this subject
at the meeting OF the Commonwealth Club, i'll
Topeka, last week. Speaking of his speech,
the State Journal says:
In spite Of the cold, the largest daily audi
ence of the week gathered to hear ex- Governor
St. Iohn on the disarmament OF the Nations"
Governor St. John said that lie had been
surprised that the czar's peace proposition did
not meet with more hearty response. "War
is a relic of barbarism," :" he said. "It has al

of any kind Ne claim that God is on the side
of the victor, but victory does not always settle
the Righteousness Of war. War demoralizes
government, corrupts society, and has not
siugle redecning feature Take the late Span
i,h wor for example. We declared that war
not for the acquisition of territory, but to free
deserving people. Had our soldiers known
that the war was preteXt for acquiring terri
tory, there would have been nC enlistmerts.
We have said that j1st government derives

To Crush the FilipinOS.

From Kansas City Times.
General Otis has been ordered to ''crush the
power of Aguinaldo in the Philippines" If
the president will send enough of The youth of
America to the Philippines, General Otis can
and will obey the order to the letter. 1t may
take him few months, year, five years or
ten years to do it thoroughly, but IS, ooo, 900
people are more than 5000, 900 people,, which
makes the final outcome sure and Ger.
tain. Therefore, it is merely a question of
time soldiers AMI money, which the United
Sta.es mas i'll abundance In the light of the

are struggling to achieve liberty as we strug
gled to achieve it hundred years ago. The
most pathetic thing is the thought Of those
Filipino mothers dying on the battlefield to
save their country. 1t was black and damn
ing shame OH this country who so far, so soon,
forgets the principles on which it is founded.
eff we had been on peace basis, would we
have had war with Spain? What does peace
basis mean? Whenever trouble arises between
two countries, they should submit their troub-
les to an international court, and, after full and
impartial trial, this court should render udg
ment which should be final. Had we such a
court, Cuba might have appealed to it, and the
court would have set Cuba free. We should
have no standing army-no army at Manila!
You talk about Christian men building ships
? twelve more sliips--to fight the Filipinos.
Shame on such Christianity! There is no such
Christianity. Talk about civilizing the saw
ages! We are civilizing them with 13-inch
guns! Shooting civilization into them! When
we took Manila, they mad one saloon. Now
they have one hundred and twenty-five! We
are filling them with spiritual influence. 1
don't wonder that mothers die on the battlefield
to beat back such civilization
"We may need an army for patrol duty-an
International patrol on the high seas, to protect
all nations. We might then believe in the
fatherhood of God ard the brotherhood of man.
Why should we hate the Filipinos, The Cubans,
the Spaniards? Why should two nations-two
neighbors--fall out? Wouldn't that be high
state of civilization if we set them to fighting?
II we must fight, let us pick all enemy of our
size-not pitch QUITO grandmother and
pound her into submission. The kingdom of
Christ can never come till we destroy our war
ships and throw away our Mauser and SPRING
field rifles. Why should there be an alliance
between the United States and England? Why
not between the United States and Cuba or
Mexico! Because England is strong and Cuba
and Mexico are weak. If we make an alliance
with England, we can whip the other nations.
We can obtain commercial supremacy.
''I.et us rather send a corps of teachers to
the Filipinos. Let us say to them, we were
once little band struggling for freedom. We
are free. We will help YOU. Let us say to
Cuba, I'VE got you from Spain. We will con-
trive to help you Ii she tries to re-assert her
power, call on us, and we will lick her again
This governme mt should have spurned compen-
saticn for having struck blow for liberty.
Americans are lovers of liberty, but when the
government turns its I3-inch guns on weak
nation we dout know how soon it will impose
itself on us here at home. Guns ships, armies
are in the hands Of our masters. Our hope lies
in disbanding cur arny-in knowing that what
ever Injuries our brother Injuries us. God hasten
the day when universal peace shall prevail"
