The Presidents speech at Boston,
when one comes to read it carefully,
shows clearly. simply and conclusively
that the United States could not have
done in the Philippines other than was
done. Rational, thinking and nom
hysterical people, those not carried
away by their nervous fears of expan-
sion, will agree with the President,
namely, that after freeing the Philip
pines of Spanish rule we became re-
sponsible for the establishment of or
derby government for the inhabitants.
To have left them without it would
have been to do them distinct injury;
property and life would not have been
protected, vested rights would have
been at the mercy of the rapacious,
and the enforcement of internationa;
obligations would have been impossi-
BILE. That is the whole matter in 4
nutshell Because Aguinaldo, from his
standpoint, took a different view, hold
ing that he and his band of followers
were equal to the doing of that we
know they could not perform, we are
to-day at war with that individual.
