Chief Justice Lore Thinks
Philippine War Should
Be Quickly Ended.

Americas snare OF tDe Nnite Mhh
Burden" was tho subject Of an address by
Chief Justice Lore Mt national and pa
triotio seryicein Grace Church last night.
Mr.. Lore prefacsd his remarks with the
assertion that what he should say would
be FROM a Christian and patriotic stand
potnt, based upon the language Of others.
in justice to whom he would quote their
exact language. He asked the thought
full and praverful consideration %! the
congregation. The speaker spoke Of Rud.
yard kipling as the greatest living writer
of poems. "1ho Recessional." he said IL
an invocation to the Almighty for his help
to nations, and 1.-The White Mans Bur-
den" busle call to nations to take their
places among tho almighty hosts. Both
poems have struck the popular fancy. and
Kipling is the bugler far in advance,
sounding tho call. In his White Mans
Burden" kiplng evidently points to the
English.speaking man as the one upon
whom rests the burden Of civilization.
The burden is the uplifting OF people Of
all races and kinds.
The speaker gave brief resume Of the
acquisition of colonial po sessions by
Great Britain and of consequent troubles.
Ho spoke of the breach Of the original
colonies from the mother country, and of
III Is country's foundation upon the broad
base OF human freedom-not slavery. The
manner he said, in which the Indians and
African, had been treated by the United
States has left an indslble stain upon its
record. A synopsis of the Spanish Ameri-
can war was given from tho blowing up of
the Maine to the surrender, Mr. Lore de-
clared that by our actions in Cuba and tho
Philippine Islands we have enlisted their
people as our enemies; they look upon
our flag as blight upon their islands.
They will cling TO- their ideal Of liberty
and selt-government. We are waging IN
exterminating war against the Filipinos,
and have slain more than Spain in her 800
years of despotic rule. Is it reasonable for
us to expect their confidence? We have
assumed them incapable wi hout giving
them chance to show themselves capable
or Incapable. Dswey's dispatches were
read, in which Dewey said he was ac-
quainted with the peoples OF both Cuba
and the Philippines, and found the Fill
pinos to be more Intelligent and capable
than the Cuhans.
DAmsrica has only taken the Spaniard's
place. and that in the name OF humanity.
A conference for International disarma-
ment is now baiug held at Tho Hague, at
the instance Of the despctic Gar of Russia
while across tho ocean relentless war 8
being waged against people by our lib
erty loving nation We are too great a
nation to falter in the path OF liberty. Chief
Justice Lore paid a tribute to the Prsi-
dent, in which he sail if he had been left
to himself there would not have been u
war, for he did not want war.
Quoting from the expression of m ex-
pnnsionist the speaker referred to the ex-
..csllcnt condition and efficiency Of tho
Filipino army, and said the capability for
civil government was manifested by the
men whom Aguin aldo had assembled, In
their manner dress and knowledge ofpar-
liamentary proceeding.
The chief justice thought our govern
ment and people should attend to civiliza'
tion in our own country Instead Of forcing
our boasted civilization upon the Filipi-
nos, As evidence of thii need he spoke OF
the burning of negroes at the stake and
the fisnd'sh glee Of civilized people who
had gathered about the victims, our num-
er,us divorces, and the disposition to cheer
the champion bruiser One-quartor OF
our 70 600, 600 arc under the shadow OF ig.
porance and vice. In the face OF these
startling conditions why waste ourselves
abroad when millions at home are In need
OF civilization.
Tho chief Justice concluded his address
hy saying: ~ would like to see tho lusty
giant Uncle Sam drop his sword, take
Cuban and Filipino by the hand and say;
Walk. II you cannot will help you.
In the whito mans burden we have a
mission; it is peace. not war. Shall we
undertake to shackle s, 600. 900 slaves, when
