AN AGREEMENT

There seems to be unanimous agree
ment upon the point of local self gov
eminent. The Advertiser advocates it,
The Star advocates it, and every SEN
sible man in the community believes in
il. That it will be the foundation of
our education in the ideas Of true per-
sonal liberty is incontrovertible. The
point of disagreement between the Adj
vertiser and The Star, however lies in
whether under the organic act, we
shall get that local self government
which we all desire and which we ought
to have in order TO receive that politi-
cal education which will take us to
ultimate statehood. Ultimate state
hoou is a noble IDEAL and again there
is agreement between those who are
discussing the bill.
Now what will the city and county
governments be able to do after they
are organized? They will not be able
TO levy and collect taxes, that is in
other hands. They will not be able to
grant licenses, They will not be able
to manage their own schools. They
will not even be able to build their own
roads. 1t really becomes problematic
what they will be able to do, save look
on and obey the orders of a central
government.
1t is true that there will be represen-
tation through the Legislature, but
after all the acts of the Legislature can
not become law unless ratified by Com
gress if any radical measure dealing
with powers of the gubernational APP
pointees is in question.
What local self government are we
likely to have under a gubernationa
appointment of Superintendent OF
Public Works for instance. He is tC

this gentleman has exercised his power
and duties there will be mighty little
left for the local government to chew
on.
If we run through the list of officers
as provided in the bill we find the same
Capitalization of power. But if we are

Senator Fnraker's Speech.

He Defends the American Policy. and
Declares that uOneCOntempIatesA Any
thing hut the Ultimate independence O T
the Philippines.
From the Washington dispatches of Wednes
day night
A climax was reached today in the de-
bate on the question of expansion which
is in progress in the Senate. Heretofore
all of the speeches, with the notable eX-
ception of that of Mr.. Plat of Connecti-
cut, have been in opposition to what is
presumed to be the policy of the admins
traton with respect to the acquisition of
the Philippines. Today Mr.. Foraker of
Ohio addressed the Senate in opposition TO
the declaration of the Vest resolution that
the United States had no constitutional
power to acquire foreign territory TO be
maintained as colonies. While bis speech
was devoted to a constitutional argument
in support of the right of this country as a
nation to acquire and govern outlying ter
ritory, he gave particular attention to the
utterances that have been made in contra
vention of that position, especially those of
Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Hoar. Mr.. Foraker has
a clear, direct and forceful style of oratory
which commands attention. He is at his
best in a running fire of debate, and the
frequency with which he was interrupted
today afforded him ample opportunity to
elucidate his argument to the hes. advan-
tage.
The most significant passage in his
speech was called out by remark by Sen
ator Hoar. In speaking of the DISPOSE
ton of the Philippines. Mr.. Foraker was
saying:
"The unanimous voice of the country
was opposed to the return of the islands
to the tyrannical government of Spain. In
many of the state conventions, ringing
declarations against such a course were
adopted, and one of those was the conven-
ton of the state of the enator from
Massachusetts (Mr HoaD."
Il wrote it myself" announced Mr..
Hoar.
"Then | presume the senator is opposed
to that course" remarked Mr. Foraker,
amid laughter. We could not leave those
islands at the mercy of other countries.
We decided to take possession ourselves
for the present at least-until the people
of those islands are ready and capable OF
self-government." ~
The assertion of the temporary charac-
ter of our possession of the Philippines
created stir in the chamber. Mr.. For
aker reiterated it. ave could not desert
the people of the islands," he SAID, "and
subject them to the risks of disorder, an
archy, misrule and mob rule, while they
might still be unfit for self-gOvernment.
But our occupation was not to be perma,
nent. 81 don't understand that anyone
desires anything but the ultimate indie
pendence of the people of the Philip
pines" said he emphatically, "neither the
President nor any one in this chamber"
"But what about our right if we choose
to hold them permanently with no thought
of their ultimate independence inquired
Mr.. Hoar.
"We have an unquestoned right to dc
| So" replied Mr.. Foraker. 81 speak par
tcularly Of our legal right"
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Foraker!
speech Mr. Allen of Nebraska addressed
the Senate in answer to some of his argu
| ments.

Woman SuTrHgist Object TO the ..NIaIe
OIIgRrehy."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B.
Anthony have addressed an open letter to
Speaker Thomas b. Reed Directing TO the
proposed "male oligarchy" in any of the
territories that have lately come into the
possession of the United States. Thew
state that they take great interest in the
bill before Congress to regulate the polti-
cal status of the inhabitants of Hawaii by
limiting all official positions to male citi.
zens, and add that such a condition would
add depth to women's degradation "that
we of the states have not yet experienced. /"
They urge that the women of Hawaii be
accorded the highest position occupied by
any in the United States, and state that
the marked feature in the legislation of the
present century has been the growing lib
erality of our laws for women, until in four
states they have been crowned with all the
rights of American citizens. The letter
ends thus:
"Your sentiments, honored sir, In favor
of the Acknowledgement of women have
been so freely expressed on many public
occasions that we appeal to you with con-
fidence to use your official position to pre-
vent, If possible, this proposed legislation.

abraham Lincholn said: NO man

other Mr.. President, no nation was ever
created good enough to own another"
MIR PIatt's Reply.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hoar's speech
Senator Plat answered some of its points
briefly, saying: 81 want to say, Mr..
President, that an application of the doc
trines of the senator from Massachusetts
would have prevented our expansion west
ward across the continent to the Pacihc
coast. We found here this continent IN
the hands of the Indians, who did not
want us here, nor did they want to be
placed under our government. NotWlth-
standing that condition we established our
government here and now at last we nave
brought many of the Indians to state OF
civilization and citizenship. You violated
your Declaration of Independence says
the Indian, when you legislated for me-
But who, Mr. President, would turn back
the hand of time to meet the requirements
of the doctrines of the senator from Massa-
chusetts? 1t is the spirit of the Declara-
ton of Independence that gives it life.
ave propose to proclaim liberty and JUS
tice and human rights in the Philippines,
or wherever else the flag of this country
shall be planted. Who will haul those
principles down? | shall meet the re-
sponsiblities that are to arise in connec-
ton with this great question in the spirit
of the Declaration of Independence and Of
the Constitution and could never be Tcr-
suaded to do otherwise
senator Mason speaks.
On Tuesday Senator Mason of Illinois
spoke against the policy of expansion, and
against any attempt on the part of the
United States to govern any people against
their will. He favored giving the Fill
pinos the liberty for which they are fight
ing. "Why not make them our friends
forever. instead of our enemies? Why
withhold the jewel Of independence? Why
not finish this war as we begun it,, for hu
manity's sake? Why not with free and
open hand give to them what we have
promised to give to Cuba? Then we have
kept our promise, then we have bound
them to us by bands stronger than steel,
and then can we answer the ISLANDERS of
Europe, who called us land-grabbers.'

MASSACHUSETTS, NOTES.
Ashburnham Bank Robbed.

The SAFE Wrecked by Dynamite---Rob-
bers Secured $500 TO s2OOO---Loss
of $4,000 on the Building.
The safe Of the First National bank of
Ashburnham was blown to pieces by dy-
Mantle about o'clock Monday morning.
The interior of the bank was badly
wrecked and the windows were blown out.
From $500 to $1,000 is missing. There is
no clue to the robbers. The discovery of
the robbery was made by Deputy Sheriff
William II. Richardson, whose home is
next to the bank building on Main street,
The deputy was aroused by a heavy eX-
plosion which shook his house and made
the windows rattle.
The First National bank is located on
the second floor Of two story brick build
ing. The street door of the main entrance
had been forced open with jimmy, and a
similar process was applied to the door Of
the bank up stairs. The burglars evident
lywell charged the iron safe with dynam-
lite, for when the office was entered by the
deputy sheriff and others it was found
that the safe had been blown to pieces.
Two of its doors were found half way
across the room, and bar of iron was
blown nearly across the street. In fact
the entire Office was wreck A large
quantity of notes and drafts and about
800 in money were found scattered about
the floor.
The loss on the building will probably
amount to $1,000. 1t is not believed that
any large quantity of notes or drafts were
taken, as most of the documents of this
character have been found scattered about
the floor. A few of them were practically
destroyed by the explosion, and it is i'm
possible to tell whether any are missing.
1t is believed that the robbers were anna
teurs and that they came into town with a
team

schools were being organized and eady to

roads had been constructed throughout the

the amount formerly collected and turned

only expense to the United States would
