They. the Filipinos, complained OF the
ownership Of the land by the big religious
orders, and OF the corruption OF justice
from the highest to the lowest places In
the land. Lately, they complained OF the
riotous debauohery OF the members OF the
religious orders. Now the Filipiuos who
nre in rebellion seek revenge ON the
priests, and they also seek the coDflsca-

the religious orders possessed. They CON-

Iagalos leaders have argued to the COM

country Is bound to do by the treaty of
Paris. Therefore the argument is made
that the United States Is the friend and
protector OF the prisstly orders, and TO un-

THE ooUNTRY's TRUE MOTTO.
TO the Editor Of the Presr


Your timely editorial In yesterday
paper will be heartily Endorsed by many
readers. especially BY those who are old
enough TO recall the years Immediately
preceding the Civil war. Younger read.
ers need at this time. as you pertinentiy
say, to remember that 1.-THE really great
men OF every age are the men who re-
whom committed"
The story that Charles Sumner once
said to friend as they were walking 10.
gether down one Of Boston's most arts
tocratic streets: "Onoe was welcome
guest at those houses; now their doors
are closed against me ON account Of my
anti-slavery speeches." is an old one; bui
1t viii bear repeating when men are
called traitors for opposing government
policy which they believe to be morally
wrong. The name need brighten no con-
scientious person. The early abolitio nists
were called traitors. Garrison was dragged
through the streets of Boston by howl
ing mob: yet he lived to see the day when
the ablest men In Massachusetts were
proud to sit by HIS side on the platform
at great public meeting called TO especi-
ally honor him.
Cookers declaration that he has
changed his mind and is now an anti.Im-
perielist is doubtless one OF the daily In
creasing signs that the sentiment against
the Filipino war Is gaining ground.
Many Of the arguments urged by those
who favor the retention OF the Philip
pines are veritable boomerangs.
"Haven't we governed the Indians for
years without their consentY" they cry,
ignoring the fact that our administration
of Indian affairs has been conspicuous
failure, aptly characterized by the title OF
Helen Hunts book. "A Century OF Dis
honor" The Canadian government has
been far more successful in its dealing
with the Indians than has the United
States. The truth is the very principles
upon which our government Is founded
make it not merely difficult, but impos-
sible, for us to govern we'll any people I'M
less they are an Integral part of our ma
tion.
For years the monarchies of Europe,
much to our Indignation, have persisted
in calling our form Of government an
experiment, and predicted Its downfall
at no distant date. Thoughtful students
Of history already see the probability of a
change In the method of governing our
country unless the present foreign policy
is abandoned.
The true patriots motto is not "Our
eountry-right or wrong;" but sour
country" Let us help to right every
wrong. allowing no talk of possible oom-
mercial advantage to make us false to
our professions, false to the great princi-
pies enunciated by the noble founders Of
our government.

cling about the country and interviewing

There have been soma great errors made
in the past by iuen who imagined they
had correctly sized up public sentiment
We all remember the tremendous misap-
prehension in regard TO the state of
the public mind that followed the
passage of the Mckinley tariff bill.
Hundreds of acute and experience OBJ
servers travelled over the country,
making it part of their business
to get at public opinion. They belonged
to both parties, and their interviewing
was about as thorough as interviewing
ever can be. And yet not one of them
foreeaw the tremendous land slide that
came on election day. There is very
large silent vote In this country which is
never reached by the interviewer. Fur
thermore it is a fact that man is prone
to find, II not to seek, men who agree
with him. 1t Is plHnsanter for him to find
them rather than the other kind. So
wien Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
and ex Gov. Pattison Of Pennsylvania
report that there is practically no senti-
ment in the west but imperial ssnti
ment. it is best not to rely too much on
their statements. 1t Is probably true
that imperialiss sentiment in the west il
stronger than in the east. chiefly for the
reason that the west thinks 1t sees an ex-
tension of its trade in expansion, but that
it is unanimous or nearly SO Is not at all
likely. Surely the Democrats and Pop
ulists Of Iowa and Nebraska would not
have opposed sentiment that was uni.
versalIy cherished.

An ardent newspaper advocate of ex-
pansion speaking of the request of some
of the anti-imperialists that the troops be
withdrawn from the Philippines says:
AS to the Philippines. sll the powers of
Congress are still in reserve. There has
6een no hint as to how or 60 what end
they win be exercised. The President
has no right to anticipate the decision of
Congress. Still less has he right to
pursue such policy as would practically
take the decision out of the hands of
Congress. When .the anti.im perialists
call upon him TO withdraw the troops of
the United States from the islands they
ask him to do an unconstitutional act.
Pending the decision of congress, it is
the duty of the President to hold the
Islands by the military and naval forces
OF the United States, of which he Is
oomnander-in-ohief; to maintain peace
and order, and to make life and property
secure. 1t is this, and this only, which
he is endeavoring to do.
The notable thing about this is tine
calm and even co urteous tone. A month
ago the suggestion of the withdrawal
OF the troops was answered simply by a
yell Of "Traitor," or "Littls American. -
Our imperiaiist friends are apparently
beginning to discover that The opponents
of this policy are neither SO few nor so
obscure that 1t Is entirely safe to do
nothing but howl at them which was the
fashion not long ago. We quite agree to
the proposition that Congress must set
tie the fate Of the Philippines, but how

In considering the possibilities In the
Dryfus case it must be borne in mind
that the French law does not require conn.,
plete unanimity Of the court for oonyic-
tiop. Ike court that is trying Dreyfus is
made up OF seven members. If five Of them
vote for conviction the prisoner will be
condemned. II only four vote against him
he will be acquitted by ''favoring min
ority". If five only vote against him the
lightest sentence proposed by any one of
them Is inflicted. Obviously the French
method of procedure is much less favor
able to the accused than the English or
the American. In an English or an
American court the witnesses are confined
to facts which they absolutely know. In
the French court hearssy, surmises and
opinions all seen to be admissible.
