The COURIER has been squarely
opposed to the war the Mckinley ad-
ministration has been carrying on in
the Philippine islands, because we did
not believe it was right for this coun-
try to place itself in the inconsistent
attitude of fighting to free Cuba and
then turning around to wage a war
which virtually means the enslaving
of the Fihpinos. 1t has recently de-
veloped that many of the American
soldiers IN those ill-fated islands are
also opposed to the American-Fi.lpino
conflict, and do not hesitate to say so
in unmistakable terms in their letters
home. These true-hearted American
soldier boys stand for the principles of
right and justice and do dot esPouse
the doctrine ofexpansiOn and plunder,
and we honor them for their manly
stand. What a shame it is that they
are forced to fight for that which they
believe to be wrong.

DO WOMEN WANT TO VOTE!
This is a Question Constantly
 Arising.

Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of c. s. Navy, answers the question thus:
 Somebody says few women would vote if enfranchised. Well, it often happens in an election that more than half the men refuse to vote. But if one man or woman wants to exercise the right to vote, what earthly reason is there for denying it. because other men and women do not wish to exercise it? If desire to breathe the fresh air of of Heaven, shall Inot cross my thresh- hold because the rest of the family group prefer the stale atmosphere ln- doors?''
 Hon. George | Hoar, Senior Senator for Massachusetts, also speaks to the points as follows:
 eff any person deems the franchise a burden and not privilege, such a per son IS under no constraiht:to exercise it. But, if it be birthright, then 1tis obvious that no other person than the individual concerned can rightful1y re- strain its exercise The committee cOncede that women ought to be clothed with the suffrage in any State where any considerable part of the women de- sire it. This is pretty serious confes- sion. What has become of the argu- ment that women.are unfit to voter"
 Woman suffrage means to open the gate to the women who do want to vote There is nothing compulsory about it. Now all women are compelled to refrain from expressing theIr political prIvi- leges. We ask that women have free. dom of choice to vote or not to vote, according to their preferences, It is the old question of liberty
