of the world. 1t has the rich country
and the moneyed people in and across
the Pacific to deal with. 1t can and will
have all of this trade in time, and it is
the ambition of the department that the
state of Washington be one of the first
to enter actively into the manufacture Of
butter and tin cans to export to China,
JNsan and the Philippines.
Expansion is going to be great
thing for the coast. 1t will open up and
develop a market that would otherwise
be stagnant for many years to come The
people are already coming to see 1t in
that light. Why | can see that great
majority of the states from here east are
in favor Of keeping the flag where it is.
The feeling of President Mckinley and
the administration regarding the Philip
pines is the same as took us to Cuba.
Il believe it is our duty to teach self
government to all those with whom we
come in contact. Aguinaldo is cut
throat in Luzon, as Neyler was in Cuba.
He and his followers must be brought
to realization of what self government
means. EIe insulted our flag. and that
brought on the punishment. 1t is the be-
lief of the administration that as soon as
the rainy season Is over peace will be
quickly declared-that same peace which
Cuba is enjoyinc-after that policy of
self government in the Philippines will
come up"

Curious Bird Hnhita

1t is a well known fact that if The
young of almost any kind of bird arc
taken from the nest before they car fly
the old ones will feed them most alton
lively if the cage in which the Little
birds are inclosed is placed somewhere
where the parents can reach it, and a
popular but erroneous belief is current
that they do this for a time, and end
by poisoning the young ones.
This, however, is a mistake, the fac,
being that at certain stage of young
birds existence when it is naturally
able to begin catering for itself; the
parent birds, also quite naturally, C, ase
to attend i, and then, if the birdl ags

food at their disposal they necessarily

No more startling incident has occur
red in regard to the Philippine trouble
since the news of Dewey's victory was
waited across the Pacific than the an
nouncement yesterday from those news
paper correspondents that the public
has been most heinously imposed upon
by the method in which the present
campaign is being carried on. In the
opinion of all who are proud to boast of
the freedom enjoyed by the American
people, of the freedom of speech and of
the press, no man has Il right to keep
from the people, who possess govern
ment "of, by, and for" themselves, mat
ter of such vital interest to them as the
situation in the Philippines must neces-
sarily be. The artistic coloring alleged
to have been given to otherwise dlscour-
aging reports, the alleged changing of
d efeat into victory; to deceive the folks
at home with glorious pictures of Amer
lean arms carrying all before them with
out losing man; to suppress the sad
news of the hardships, sickness and
deaths of our volunteers, is an injustice
and an insult to the people who have a
right to the knowledge of the exact Sit
uation. Ii is Il wrong to the young vol
unteer who leaves his home and loved
ones to join in a campaign tnat he is
lead to believe is to be over a bed of
roses, wien finally stern reality brings
him face to face with all the horrors of
the losing side of the fight. One of the
admirable qualities of our nation is the
common sense of its people. Its citizens
are perfectly capable of forming their
own ideas, and when Il cause is right
there is no necessity of concealing the
dark side of the case from them. The
voice of America cries out for the abo-
llion of press censorship when 1t cuts
the truth, and the nation asks for the
plain, unvarni>hed facts for the perusal
of its people. On the other hand we
must not jump at conclusions, Tor while
the signed statement from all the Am
erican newspaper men in Manila is u
strong evidence that they have stated
the situation accurately, yet, we must
wait few days tor developments before
criticizing too vchemently.
