OUR DUTY IN THE PHILIPPINES.
W. J. Bryan Makes an Argument That Is
Unanswerable.

W. j. Bryan Makes an Argument That II
| Unanswerable.
In the New York Independent Of
last Wednesday, Hon. w. ]. Bryan
discusses the Philippine question. He
says:
"The declaration of independence
asserts that governments derive their
Just powers from the consent of the
governed, and this is the doctrine to
which We have adhered for more than
century. 1t is the doctrine which
has distinguished US from European
countries and has made our nation the
hope of humanity. The statue in
New York harbor typi6es the nations
mission.
"If the doctrine set forth in the de-
claration of independence is sound,
how can we rightfully acquire sover.
eighty over the Filipinos by war OF
conquest. If the doctrine set forth in
the declaration of independence is
sound, how can we rightfully purchase
sovereignty from a Spanish sovereign
whose title we disputed in Cuba and
whose rebellious subjects we armed in
the Philippines?
sin the resolution of intervention
congress declared that the Cubans
were, and of right ought to be, free.
Why ? Because governments derive
their Just powers from the consent OF
the governed, and Spain had refused
to respect the wishes of the Cubans.
| IF the Cubans were and of right ought
to he free, why not the Filipinos?
"In the beginning of the Spanish
war congress denied that our nation
had any thought of extending its terri
tory by war. If we then had no
thought of securing by conquest new
territory in the western hemisphere,
why should we now talk of securing in
the eastern hemisphere new races for
subjugation? =,
"An individual may live double
| life when.only one life is known. When
both lives are known he can lead only
one life and the worst. A republic
cannot enter upon colonial policy.
IL cannot advocate government by
consent at home and government by
force abroad. The declaration of in
dependence will lose its value when
we proclaim the doctrine familiar in
Europe but detestable here, that gov
ernments are round in shape, about 13
inches in diameter and fired out of a
cannon.
"For more than a century this ma
ton has been travelling along the path
way which leads from the low domain
of mieh. to the lofty realm of right,
and its history has been without par
allel in the annals of recorded time.
What will be our fate if we turn back
ward and begin the descent toward
force and conquest?
"It is not sufficient to say that the
forcible annexation of the Philippine
islands is benevolent undertaking en-
tered upon for the good of the Filipi-
nos. Lincoln pointed out that this
has always been the argument of
kings. To use his words, they al
ways bestrode the neck of the peo-
pie, not that they wanted to do it, but
because the people were better off for
being ridden
ut is surprising that any believer in

The IRONY OF FATE.-A good sto-
ry is being circulated at the expense
of a Laurens merchant who would
not patronize home enterprise. The
Laurens Canning factory, one OF the
most successful concerns in the state,
ships its goods to all parts of the coun-
try, but the merchant in question
persistently refused to place his order
with it because it was local concern,
whose goods were not, as he thought,
of the quality he desired 10 handle.
Recently, the story goes, he placed an
order with New York house, giving
them instructions to send the best
canned goods in the house. When
the goods came the merchant, to his
surprise, learned that they were goods
from the Laurens factory, put up with
in half mile of his store. Aside from
the freight, he paid considerably more
for the goods than they would have
cost him at Laurens. Moral-Patron-

was in the act of delivering it Tory
rushed precipitately into the attic and

clash of swords, cries of terror and
shouts of triumph arose in deafening

rage and despair.
Presently a deep voice thundered
above the din.
"Claudius Smith is in the loftl Up
and at him. men! Give the outlaw no
quarter''
At this Claudius uttered defiant
laugh
AYE but ye must catch me first. ye
blarsted rebelsl" he growled between
his teeth.
Then he turned and ran quickly to-
ward one Of the dormer windows
Scarcely had he reached it when there
was an onrush of footsteps on the mar
row stairs, and a number of furious
srontiersmen sprang one after another
Into the loft. where they scattered and
began searching the lumber and rubbish
for the bandit chief. Presently one OF
them caught sight of him as he was in

In the meantime Robin had narrow

other assailants On their first coming
into the attic they had passed him by
unnoticed. and he had since been too
much bewildered by the strange events
transpiring before him to pay much
heed to their movements. Indeed while
they were searching the loft for the
Tory chief he was engaged in admins

magnificent adornment of the Berkeley

that word went over the world that
California wanted designs for the most
complete institution of learning on the
globe, the fame of the State and the
munificence of Mrs. Phebe Hearst, who
made the idea a possibility, became
world wide. The jury of architects
have served faithfully and well and
their labors have given to California,
as much as those of the successful de-
signer, the plans of university that
the world itself will be proud of.
The labors of the jury are over and
the members will soon return to their
respective homes, undoubtedly carry

Der, March and June and the day before

to the amendment in strong and vigorous
language, contending that the universftys
needs demanded that the Regents meet al
least once month; but the majority OF
the Regents present voted for the amend
ment.
Ex-President Kellogg, who is now away
on a vacation, asked the Regents for
leave of absence and a continuance OF his
salary. Regent Hallidie championed Pro-
lessor kellogg's cause. but Regent Foote
opposed it, The matter was laid on the
table awaiting the arrival OF President

ing $4,000.
Considerable discussion was indulged in
over the medal fund. AT present the cost
of medals for the highest graduating
scholar is $125. but the annual income from
the fund reaches $237 60 Ii being a trust

1t has been known for some time that
Mrs. Hearst contemplated the erection
of one or more buildings for the univer-
sity. but it is now made public for the
first time that this desire on her part
was the inception of the idea to have a
competition of architects to design a
magnificent university. While she
wished to erect a building she wanted
that building to be in harmony with the
future growth OF the university Her
selection is to be erected as a memorial
TO her husband, and as he was a min
ing man her choice was naturally the
mining building This she will begin
the erection of Immediately after the
acceptance of the plans by the regents,
and following closely upon this she
will erect another as a reminder of
herself. While her selection on this
point has not yet been made public, 1t
is understood that it will be the
women's building.
b IT is announced that Mayor James D.
Phelan and Miss Jennie Flood will each
erect building, and it is expected that
several other of the wealthy alumni of
the institution will show their apprecia-
tion of the possibilities Of the future by

tains, her plains, her soils and
u her climate are all of a nature
that gives inspiration to her hu-
manity, and when a human concept is
evolved it, too, must of necessity be on
a plane with the general grandeur of
the commonwealth.
OF such magnitude is the conception
of Mrs. Phebe r. Hearst which brought
forth from the best technical minds of
the world the detail and ensemble of
what purposes to be the grandest and
most artistic grouping of subsidiary
buildings into one vast institution OF
learning that the world has ever seen.
The story Of the contest, which stands
without parallel in the history of the
world. has been fully set forth in the
papers during the past few weeks, but
all word painting and pictorial repre-
sentation of the ideas advanced by
world-famed architects fall far short OF
giving a complete understanding of the
magnitude and artistic beauty of the
idealization Of California's future uni
versity.

of the conception is startling at first it
is among the probabilities that the
present generation will see what is now
apparently but dream become a beau
teous reality.
The plans will be on exhibition at the
ferry depot until next Saturday, when
they will be formally submitted to the
regents of the university; and should
they be accepted, of which there seems
no reason to doubt, the progress from
idealization to realization of the project
will be a mere question of time and in

Another great industrial battle is on
in England. Last Monday the organ
lied employers began their assault on the
building trades by locking out 10000
plasterers in London. The bosses made
demands that the unionists cease boy
cotting unfair firms, that they work with
non-union men, that they cease placing
a limitation upon apprentices, and others
OF lesser Importance. The workers took
a referendum vote and refused to comply
with the demands, as it would virtually
mean the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of their orpani
cation. They have 100000 in their treas
ury and expect the support OF the car
penters and other craftsmen. The bosses
have watched the steady growth of the
building trades with a jealous eye, and
have finally prepared to deliver a blow
at labor organizations and wreck them if
possible The struggle viii be watched
with keen interest on both sides of the
Atlantic.
