generally been dictated by cool
reason, there is no wonder that a
body Of earnest, kind-hearted,
sympathetic and charitable women
should declare against the nations
policy"
However, the war in the Phil
ippines is not a question Of senti-
ment, 10 yet Of expediency-nor
Of expansion. The war is right
or it is wrong. Why are we war
ring against the Filipino? Am
bition. desire of dominion; de-
sire to prove or to assert
superiority are the main incentives
to modern warfare, and usually the
aggressor wars under the plea that
he wants to civilize, his heather
opponent. In the fullness Of his
brotherly love and devout chris
tianity, he brings to the benighted
savage the message Of peace on
earth goodwill toward men
through the medium of dum-dum
bullets.
Our war with Spain was under
taken to help, to protect. The
nations eyes were not blinded by
hope Of gain, or acquisition Of
territory. That was a righteous
war, which did honor, alike, to the
heart and to the prowess Of the
American nation. But in our
Philippine war, the keynote of all
our arguments for expansion is the
rich territory to be acquired, the
wealth to accrue to us from the
undeveloped mines and forests,
and the benefits we are to derive
from the new channels of trade
thus opened; and as an anodyne
for our troubled conscience we tell
how we will civilize and christian
ize the Filipino. If the Philip
pines were rocky ~islets, barren as
our Bad Lands. would we be so

Hoarseness in a child that is
subject to Group is a sure indica-
ton Of the approach of the disease.
If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will
prevent the attack, Many mothers
who have croupy children always
keep this remedy at hand and find
that it saves them much trouble
and worry. It can always be de-
pended upon and is pleasant to

The Silver Anniversary conven-

one of the most successful in the
history Of the w. c.. T. Z.
The people Of Seattle gave the
WIS a most royal welcome-even
Dame Nature showed her appre-
citation Of the ''cold water cause
by furnishing copious showers.
The resolutions adopted this are
wider in their scope and Of more
Importance generally than those
presented at any previous conven-
ton. No little comment has been
excited by the resolutions protest
ing against the war in the Philip
pines and the attitude Of the adj
ministration on the anti-canteen
question. Some Of the dailies
considering, not the right nor
wrong of these resolutions, but
their possible effect, politically
announce that the WIS have joined
w. j. Bryan's forces. The Mime.
apolis journal, more fair, makes
editorial comment thus:

that the w. G.. T. q. national con.
