Expansion Versus Imperialism.

using it as synonymous with empire, "

ably very few Americans would ac-

hand, if "anti-expansion" or "anti-im-
perialism" is defined as indicating OPP
position to any further aquisition of
territory by the United States, the
number who would accept either term
as expressing their position is quite
as small. In truth, all of these eX-
pressions are rather loosely employed
they serve as catch phrases.
Still, it can hardly be denied that the
term "imperialist' approaches more
closely to the line of accuracy when
applied to a supporter of Mr.. MCKin-
iey's foreign policy, than does anti
expansionist" as the term is used with
reference to the opponents of that pol

imperial, which not only means per-

in the sense of sovereign, supreme,
august, commanding. Hence it may be
fairly applied TO those who favor a

Dill you listen when | whispered
Through your slumbers calm and deep?
Summer roses lay beside you,
Slender lilies white and tall.
And you looked 80 still and sanity,
Did you feel my teardrops fall?

Words so wildly true and fond.
Were you dreaming there serenely
OF the strange and vast Beyond?
When l whispered how l loved you,
Not token crossed your face,
But you lay all pale and placid
In that solitary place.
Did you hear me when I called you,
Love? You lay,so fast asleep,
And the stiffness seemed so holy,
That l scarcely dared to weep
Scarcely dared to take a rosebud,
Crushed and crumbled to my breast.
When ! left you calmly sleeping
In your everlasting rest.

More Soldiers.

% EFoRE his term of service is

Secretary Root will find himself
denounced as a traitor by some of the
editors who have been trying to patron
ize the administration. The secretary
is proposing to send to the Philippines
ten thousand soldiers more than the ad-
mlnistration had planned to muster
Just few days ago, people who ven-
tured the suggestion that the situat ton
required more than the ten additional
regiments ordered by the president
were promptly denounced by the ad-
ministration's newspaper spouters who
declared that the very suggestion was
treason: they insisted that this style of
talk was lending aid and comfort to
Aguinaldo; they asserted that the ten
thousand additional troops then Or
dered We're plenty. In justification they
quoted General Otis-they said that he
had named the maximum of troops re-
quired and that the president had
promptly ordered the muster of as
many soldiers as Otis said he wanted ;
Otis, we were told, ought to know.
All this, with a good deal more like
it, was said by the apoogists for Mr..
,McKinley's war Of conquest Just a few
weeks ago. Well, Secretary Root has
knocked all this talk into cooked hat.
He cannot be presumed to know as
much as General Otis knows about the
needs of the Philippine service, but that
makes no difference. The task imposed
on Mr.. Root is, by hook or crook and at
any cost, to end this Luzon war, and no

next years presidential campaigning

the secretary of war is paying no more
attention to the administration apollo

thing he could do. He is confirming
