The position of the administration
with regard to the Philippine islands, is
succinctly and clearly outlined in Sena-
tor Hansbrough's address recently to
the volunteers at Devils Lake. He said
-"This question of expansion is a very
great one, but it is by no means a new
one. Our country has been expanding
FROM it's birth. We have been acquiring
new territory from time to time for
nearly a century. In 1903 Thos. Jeffer-
son paid 100000 for that vast empire

If there is any better boomer in the
newspaper business in the state than
Editor Marshall Mcclure of the Minot
Optic, we have seen none of his work.
Mac is busy just now unfolding the
glories of the Mouse river to the world,
and in his last issue he says:
But the leaves have turned yellow
now, and like golden trcsses hanging in
wavelets over the shoulder of the goddess
of nature, they culver before the frost
laden breezes, and As noiselessly as they
came, drop to eternal repose upon the
bosom of mother earth. But never mind
about that; there will be another crop of
leaves in the springtime-"Gentle
Annie" The birds will return and the
gooselets and the buckets will hatch
again. The farmer will follow his seeder
and continue to speculate upon what
the harvest will be. The storm-tried
herds will seek the valleys and the low
lands and hail with delight the first
peeping blades of newborn grass; the
frisky lamblet will frolic on hill and in
dale: the long slumbering gopher will
come forth in all his glory and cock his
eye at the rising sun as of yore; hun.
dreds of new settlers will come, and The
Optic will join in singing, "This is the
land I have often sought and mourned
because I found it not.

PLEA FOR TIE OLD SOLDIER.

At this time one cannot but con-
nrast the joyous homecoming OF the
cX-Soldiers of the present war With
the distressing scenes witnessed on
1hc return of the survivors Of the civil
war nearly %lllir1y-live years ago.
Then the churches were draped with
mourning. bands played only funeral
diryes. and every home was sorrow-
full because of those dread messages
of killed. wounded and missing that
appeared in the bulletins after the
names of so many loved ones who
never came home.
Especially in the border states was
there stress Of sorrow. Their fam
lilies were divided on the issues Of the
war. Brother had fought against
brother and bitterness of feeling pre-
vailed. The northern Soldiers were
warmly welcomed home to tlleir ma
rive ~statcs-and indeed to lucrative
positions. but sad indeed vas the fate
OF the union volunteers of the south
for added to their loss of health and
eStranged kindred was the loss of
their means of subSistence-thrOugh
the freedom of their slaves-and the
confiscarion Of the landed estate, be-
cause some member Of the family had
served in die southern army. The
wealth and luxury in which they had
been bred untitled them for the struy-
giles of life. and unlealed wounds
made existence moro painful.
The passage of half Il lifetime has
not sutticed to heal the miseries re-
sulting from that war-the memory
of which is vet keenly alive in many
sorrowful hearts.
Among the survivors of that w;lr
there still exist throughout the land
many old soldiers disabled by age
and misfortune whose families must
oftentimes feel the touch OF want.
Others there are. old, poor and intirm
who have not yet received uhe pen
sions TO which they are entitled un-
der the laws of tile country. Others
Still more piriful than all. long borne
down by the weight of poverty and
intirmity have given up the struggle
to rise above their environmentS-and
to stand again upon Il plane with their
fellow men.
Pity and charity-instead Of scorn
and neglect-sllould be the portion of
the old soldiers-slnd now while the
wave Of patriotic generosity is
sweeping V e our state in welcome to
the youthful heroes of the pending
war, let it be broad and deep enough
to include in its grateful folds the
aged and needy veterans Of the dark
days of 1S61-when men fought to
the bitter end, and for humanity's
grandest prinriple-that the union of
the states might be preserved.
Let there no longer be found in all
our great and generous state n single
old soldier uncared for or unassured
of sympathy and friends.

:nown as the Louisiana purchase. That

known as the Louisiana purchase. That
was the tine for the class of men who
think that the fleet-footed Aguinaldo is
as great a man as George Washington to
have cried out against 'imperialism."
In l84S, after the war with Mexico, we
paid sl5.00O,OW for that magnificent do
main known as California and New
Mexico, anG who will say that the sum
was too great? Then, in 1867 we bought
Alaska for s7,50O,OOO. In all prior trans
actions for the purchase of new territory
provisions had to be made in the treaties
whereby the territory coded should, at
the proper time, be erected into states,
and new states have been admitted as
fast as congress in it's wisdom has
deemed necessary and proper. In the
Alaska matter, however, no such pro-
vision was made. 1t was then that this
government first departed from it's ira
ditional policy; it was then that our
statesmen realized that there might be
a situation demanding the annexation
of new territory without any intention
of admitting it to statehood. In the
treaty with France for the Louisiana
country and in the treaty of Guadalupe
with Mexico the inhabitants of the
ceded area were given tho promise of
citizenship as residents of sovereign
states of the Union, and this promise
has been fulfilled as fast as the inhabi-
tants showed themselves to be qualified
for the duties of citizenship. But in the
case of Alaska in u treaty with Russia
We have merely guaranteed to the civil
LIKED residents the immunities and civil
rights which belong to all free peoples,
leaving the question of their political
rights wholly in the discretion of con-
gress. A few men cried out against the
impcrialistic tendency of our govern
mcnt at that time, but the republic still
survives.
"By the treaty of Paris we have fol-
lowed the long line of precedents and
paid cash for the Philippines, but we
have omitted the guaranty as to person
al and civil rights of the people, leaving
with congress the whole question as to
there future government. 1t is with
you, the people, to say whether your
representatives in congress have carried
out your will and acted within consti-
sutional bounds in dealing with this
question. This is still a government of
the people and not an empire"
lit is charged that the government
was influenced by selfish motives in this
matter. l deny it. From the moment
that the hand of treachery Embossed the
spark that destroyed the Maine war
with Spain was inevitable. The govern
ment had no thought of the PHILIPPINES
or the Filipinos. Who could have fore
told what was to take place at Manila?
The campaign that was inaugurated
there was the natural outgrowth of the
conditions which compelled us to march
II forces into Cuba. Does anyone
complain if we shall use the Philippines
as a stepping stone to the great and
growing trade of the Orient, and thus
take advantage Of a situation which
prompted the annexation of Hawaii"

The .Atkinsonians are not receiving
much support from returning volun-
teers. Here is what Editor Phil
Shortt of the Devils Lake News, SER
geant in Company d, has to say Of
the question of supporting the admin
istration in the Philippines:
The question Of maintaining the SUI
premacy of the American flag OH the
Philippine islands is not u political
one. While war is in progress no
loyal American can do other than sup
port the administration in the work
of carrying that war to a successful
termination. The question as to
whether the war is right or wrong
makes no difference. lf'the war is
carried on wrongfully and will, rs
some claim, work injustice to the Fill
ipinos, there is but M way to REM
edy the matter. Bring the conflict I'd
a successful termination, and then if
injustice has been perpetrated, rec
tify it. No true, loyal American can
yer wish for the soldiers Of this ma
ton aught but success. The Atkin-
sonians now at large in this country
are not Americans-they are traitors
and should be so treated.

1t is greatly to be regretted that
the return Of Lieut.-Col. Treumann to

marred by the death of Col. Treu-
