will not establish a perfect government.
but they will establish a government a.
nearly perfect as they are competent TO
enjoy. and the United States can protect
them from molestation from without.
THE republicans of Illinois. OF course.
viii not expect the FIlipinos to secure
. legislature equal to the last repub-
ican legislature in fidelity to the public
welfare. Illinois became a state nearly q
century ago. and the legislature which
enacted the Allen law was. as IL were. the
ripened fruit of long experience Give the
Fflipinos time and opportunity. and while
they never viii catch up with US unless we
cease to improve, yet they may some day
stand where we stand now.
What excuse can be given for the adop-
ton OF colonial policy? Secretary Gage
disclosed the secret in his Savannah
speech. I think we might be justified in
calling Mr. Gage the keyhole of the adj
ministration. because we look through him
to learn what is going in the executive
council chamber. He suggested tina. phi
in hand in the new venture. These are
the two arguments which are aiways used
in favor of conquest. The one chloroforms
the conscience of the couqueror and the
other picks the pockets ofthe conquered
DenOunces Expansion.
Some say that philanthropy demands
that we govern the Filipinos for their
own good. while others assert that we
must hold the islands because of the Pc
cuniary profit to be derived from them.

own language of a year ago) but il will
cost more than ii is worth, and the whole
people will pay the cost while a few will
reap all the benefits.
Still weaker is the argument based
upon religious duty. The Christian re-
Hgion rests upon the doctrine of the
colonial party rests upon the doctrine OF
vicarious enjoyment

Shame upon a logic which locks up the

WAKE SUPERIOR COURT.
Many Cases of Small Importance Were
Disposed OF.

Wake Superior court yesterday ground
out much grist. None of it was OF
much importance, but it had to be dis
posed of and Judge Moore and Solicitor

markably large quantity of it in very
short time.
The following cases were finally dis
posed of during the day:
Julia O'Rouke, larceny; guilty; l.
months in the work house.

pons; guilty, months ON the road

weapons, months on the roads
Against Sherron Rogers, Alex Day,
and Walter Guy there was more than
ONE case. They were, however, SEN
fenced i'm only one case and Judgment
was suspended i'm the others.
Perhaps the case that attracted MOST
attention was that against William
Dewar the young white tramp who
entered the residence of Col Hinsdale
a month ago, and stole several articles
from the stand an the hail. while the
family was at supper. iHe has been in
jail ever since. and this is an the pun
ishmeGt he viii receive. His attorney
showed that Dewar was drunk and
hardly knew what he was doing. II
also Stated THAT he was q cocaine fiC
and therefore hardly responsible. In
addition to this Dewar has part of one
hand cut off in an iron MILL For these
reasons Judgment ON him was suspend
ed.
Harvey Adkins, the little black boy,
aged ten years who entered the house
of Mr.. j. Hal Bobbit and STOLE a gold
watch and medal, was found guilty
But his attorney stated to the court
that George L. Lane. a worthy coiored
man, expressed "a willingness to have
the boy bound to him and suggested
that Judgment be suspended. and this
was done. The boys mother consented.
SO judgment was suspended and Harvey
was bound to George Lame
