ALL THAT is ASKED.
American Principles in the Ultimate
Solution of Philippine Problem.

At the expansion mass meetings held in
Chicago last Sunday a set of resolutions
introduced by General John c. Black, en-
dorsing the administration course in the
Philippines as thus far developed, was unan-
imously adopted.
The fifth of these resolutions declared as
follows: '"The government of the United
States should be, and we believe will be,
true to its principles in the disposition of
all questions that may arise in the future
in our relationship with the people of the
Philippine islands"
Every true American will heartily join in
this expressed hope for the maintenance of
American principles in the ultimate solu-
tion of the Philippines problem. If those
principles are upheld with steadfast faith,
not only will such loyalty to the right do
away with all danger arising from the ex-
listing situation, but it will add infinitely to
the luster and glory of the American name,
and will place this government forever be-
yond the reproach of having cleaved to its
principles only until tempted to their re-
pudiation by a sudden prospect of dazzling
profit and power, which it was too weak
in moral force to resist.
A consistent loyalty to American institu-
tions demands that now, as never before
this government shall announce to the other
great powers of the world the potency and
the vitality of the Monroe doctrine as con-
trolling it's international policy. Under
that doctrine, since it was first formulated,
the United States 6as consistently claimed
control of affairs in the Western hemisphere,
forbidding the encroachments of monarchical
governments within it's legitimate sphere of
American influence. American honesty in
vocing and enforcing the Monroe doctrine
must be proved by a sturdy refusal to re-
pudiate that doctrine, no matter what the
inducement.
If the government of the United States
is 'true to its principles in the disposition
of all questions that may arise in the future
in its relationship with the people of the
Philippine islands," it will not permanently
hold those islands as an American colonial
possession. Such acquisition would be con-
trary to the spirit of the Monroe doctrine
doctrine as binding upon us. in honor,

MEN BEHIND THE GUNS.
Quality, Not Quantity, Counts in the
Final Results.

New 1Ork1 lIlDune.
The latest European critics of the Amer
lean navy look askant at the limited room
for mems quarters on our ships and at the
consequently small number Of men employed
upon them. The facts are indlsputable, as
reference to the record shows. What deduc-
tion is to be made therefrom is, as Mr.. Kip
ling would say, another story.
Our big cruiser Brooklyn, OF 92l5 tons
for example, has only 522 men. The British
Achilles, OF $3.50 tons, has 707 ana the Var
spite, of only S,4O0 tons, has 535 The
French Dupetit Thouars, OF 9,517 tons, has
612 men and the little Duplex, of only 200
tons, has 531. The German navy Is still more
heavily manned, the cruiser Kaiser, OF only
1881 tons, having no fewer than 66S men.
The same contrast exists in the case of
battleships. Our Oregon of 10,2sS tons, has
473 men. The British Auson, Darheur and
Centurion, of from 10 500 to 10,600 tons each,
have respectively 515, COG and 622 men. The
French ships OF the Magenta class, of 10850
tons each, have each 660 men. And the
German Brandenburg. of 10,lO0 tons, has 552
men. To go to larger type our Iowa,
of II ,410 tons, has sos men The British
Nile, of II $40 tons, has 55S. The French
Amiral Duperre and Brennus, each a little
smaller than the Iowa have respectively
664 and 696 men. And the German Kaiser
Wilhelm II, of II, ,130 tons, has 655 men.
We have not heard that the effectiveness
