Dr. Parkhurst has just returned home
from visit abroad and in an interview
with reporter of the New York Tribune
says:
The Philippine war is. I suppose, now
going on, and il is likely to go on for the
next half century. l see no end to the con-
fllct. The Americans whom l met abroad
have expressed no sympathy for the war.
In England and on the Continent they have
their own opinion of the affair, and it is
not altogether complimentary.
The phrase, sympathy for the war;" has
curious sound. Who. properly speaking
has sympathy for the war; Who does
not regret that the war was ever begun?
Who would not be happy to see it ended
with honor to the country tomorrow? Who
does not deplore the losses that have a.!
ready taken place. and others that seem
inevitable? Is there anybody on the Amer
lean side fighting for the pleasure of the
thing? Are there any Americans so vicious
as to delight in human slaughter?
AS Dr. Parkhurst is no. a political agi-
tator he ought to measure his words with
some care. When a man with political ends
to serve sees in the Philippine war a strug-
gle encouraged by and protracted for the
benefit of those who on the govern
ment's army pay roll, or when Richard
CROKER announces the discovery that the
President is working scheme to make
sure of denomination, the country under
stands. Discreditable as such utterances
are to their authors. no harm otherwise
Is done. But why should anybody else
throw the weight of his name into the scale
against the country when all the facts
stare him in the face?
There has never been in any quarter any
sympathy for the war" The country has
simply had most unpleasant duty to per-
form, and has been discharging it. If
Aguinaldo had carried himself with the in
tegrity which characterized General Garcia
at Santiago and General Gomez at Havana
not day would have been lost after the
fall of Manila in promoting the happiness
and prosperity of the F'ilipinos The Amer
leans We're entirely friendly, and were act
ing In the best faith. And they had it in
their power to be of inestimable service to
the people of the archipelago. But from
the day when Aguinaldo appealed to arms
all other considerations have necessarily
been subordinated to the duty of compelling
respect for the American authority
