like Germany, is about tointerfere with
Uncle Sans colonial scheming, and
dispatches state that the object is
based upon the higher moral grounds,
to "perform for the Philippines the
same service that America did for
Cuba" And so it will be, as long as
our government insists upon maintain
ing control of possessions half way
around the globe, which will cost, even
in times of peace, about all the reve-
nue. we derive from them, and are like
ly to be bone of contention with

already led to strained relations with

that she has already landed 10000 ri.

true, may lead to the precipitation OF
another foreign war before the Spanish

Of public sentiment for popularizing a
policy which proposes to Christianize
by sword and ciyilize with cannon"
the honorable Congressman declares
that the words which fell from the
Presidents lips were the most disin-
genuous utterances that ever emanat-
ed from a Chief Executive. Apart
from the platitudes and professions of
virtue, he affirmed, it was "a carefully
prepared and studiOns misstatement of
facts"
elf the executive really felt that
Congress should determine the future
OF the Philippines, why" asks Repre-
sentative Johnson, "did he not call
Congress in extra session and then
keep his hands OFF," He charged that
the President had coerced the Senate
into ratification of the Paris treaty /;
that he would not permit vote on the
Bacon resolution; that he allowed only
the McEnery resolution, which means
nothing, to pass, merely to lull the OPP
position OF the country to sleep, while
he went ahead waging a relentless war
against a helpless people struggling
for liberty"
How a two-thirds vote to ratify the
treaty was secured" said the speaker,
"Only the President can tell. The
people did not, nor do not, endorse
the action of the Senate. If the Pres
ident could hush the noisy pelf seekers
about him, he would not hear the tread
of an army of a hundred thousand men
which he desires in order to enforce
his crusade against liberty, but the
murmuring OF the mighty army of
American people who would overthrow
him in the end. The true cause of the
Presidents change of attitude towards
the Philippines is to be found in the
demands of selfish capitalists. Valua.
BILE concessions have already been
granted in Porto Rico and Cuba and
the board created by the President will
farm out valuable franchises to the
Americans which properly belonged to
the natives of these islands"
