Nothing in his long public career has
done such honor to Senator Hoar as his
superb. courageous and almost solitary
resistance last winter in the Senate ia

constitution involved in it. This nation
is on trial. The cry is already rising
from Maine to Texas and from TEXAS -
California. Stop this fighting in the
philippines. It is woeful mistake: it is
a crime
Let the cry gather in volume till 1t is
nearo even at the White House, even in
the Governors chamber at Albany.
by Wnat right are we numbering the
people of the Philippines and devastating
their homes? Is it because we paid $50.

we pay this sum to make the people
slaves to our win. or in the glozine phrase
to compel them to submit to the benevo-
lent assimilation?' Yes, and their stead

same verdict will be rendered as in the
previous court-martial.
