A Northern statesman says that the
Christian people of the United States
favor the retention of The Philippines,
as they want to send missionaries there
to convert the heatheDs. Of all the
reasons advanced this is the poorest
We have yet heard. The Christian
people can find plenty of good work to
do in THIS country which is badly
needed. With baseball games, open
salcops, theatres, gambling dens and
various other kinds of riotous living in
many sections of our own free land On
Sundays, it looks as though the mis-
sionaries billed for The Philippines
should be kept at home.

solely by reason Of your innate love OF fair
play coupled with the necessity that has
arisen to make an earnest effort to preserv@
the tim e-hon, red Democratic usages in our

That the great majority CT our party are

tinue to submit to repeated wrongs through
the agency of machine pOlitlcS-the great

leaders who are selfish, unjust tyrani,-al
and regardless of every true principal OF

managed must grow weaker with every out
rage against public and private justice it

his ballot against state OF affairs that, if

600 loyal men refused to bow the knee
to politicians and parties of the Quay

forth to roll up big vote for the cor

ing place in the city was a "speak

the candidates of the bosses and some
of the polling places were located in
brothels. Our vote in Ohio may prove
to have been hammered down by the

attitude of the Anti-Saloon League and
by the temporary popularity of Gold
