.Recent- Phases of Misgovernment"
Col. Bryan had been given the general
subject of Democracy" and his APP
pearance and remarks called forth
hearty applause. He said in part:
WAY CLEAR FOR RECOGNITION.
THE ratification of the treaty instead
of committing the United States TO Il
colonial policy really clears the way for
the recognition of n Philippine repub-
lie. Lincoln, in his first inaugural
message, condensed an unansw era bl
he asked: Can aliens make trea ties
easier than aliens can make laws?
The same argument is presented in the
question: Can the independence of the
Filipinos be secured more easily by di-
plomacy from foreign and hostile ma
ton than it can through laws passed by
Congress and Voicing the sentiments of
the American people alone? If indie
pendence is more desirable to our pco-
pie than q colonial policy, who is there.
or what is there to prevent the recog-
milton of Philippine independence? 1t
is absurd to say that the United States
can be transformed from a republic
into an empire without consulting the
voters.
THE PEOPLE TO DECIDE.
The imperialists may be willing to
deny to the Filipinos the right to gov
eri themselves, but they cannot deny
to the American people the right to
determine the policy TO be pursued by
the United States in the settlement OF
the Philippine question
Until the people express themselves
we can only guess at their views. bu,
is it not safer to suppose that they
will adhere to the ideas and policies of
n century than TO assume that thew
will go back to the creed Of kings and
to the gospel of force. In commemora-
ton OF the fact that France was our
ally in securing independence the citi-
zens of that nation Joined with the citi-
zens of the United Stares in placing in
New York harbor 4 heroic statue rep
resenting Liberty enlightening the
world. What course shall our nation
pursue? Send the statue of Liberty
back to France and borrow from Eng
land statue of William the Conqueror.
o. shall our nation so act as to enable
the American people to join with the
Fiipinos in placing in the harbor of
Manila a statue of liberty enllghtening
