The forcible annexation of the Philip
pine islands is not necessary TO make the
United States q world power For over ten
decades our nation has been a world power
During its brief existence IL has exerted
/ aPoR the human race an influence more
potent for good than all the othG nations
Of the earth combined, and it has exerted
that influence without sword or Gatling
gun. Mexico and the republics OF Central
and South America testify to the benign
infEeges sc cur institutions while Europe
arc Asia give evidence of the working OF
the leaven of seff-government- In the
growth of democracy we observe the tri-
umphant march of an idea-an idea that
would be weighted down rather than aided
by the armor and weapons prodered by
Imperialism
Much has been said of late about Anglo
Saxon civilization. Far be II from me to
detract from the service rendered to the
world by the sturdy race whose language
We speak The union of the Angle and the
Saxon formed a new and valuable type,
but the process of race evolution was not
completed when the Angle and the Saxon
met. A still later type has appeared which
is superior TO any which has existed here
tofore; and with this new type come
higher civiliZat ation than any which has pre-
ceded it. Great has been the Greek, the
Latin. the Slav, the Celt, the futon and the
Anglo-Saxon. but greater than any Of these
is the American, in whom are blended the
virtues of them all
Civil and religious liberty, universal
education and the right to participate, di-
rectly or through representatives chosen
by themselves. in all the affairs of govern
ment-these give TO the American citizen
an opportunity and an inspira ton which
can be found nowhere else.

ready gained the American people can as

not to disfranchise the negro. H.

and If they did, it would be going

they said they would settle the negro
question, hut at the same time as
sured the negroes that it did not
mean to disfranchise them. This
promise lead many negroes to vote
