DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS.


Democracy turned out In good
force to hear speeches by Attorney
General Grow, OF Jefferson City, and
Hon James T. Lloyd, Congressman
from the Fret District.
Following are soms of the things
said by Mr.. Grow: s
"The question is not, shall We
Have Dependent Colonial Posses.
sions7' but sShaIi We Continue to
Possess Them9' The foreign policy Of
the Republican party has already ss-
tabllshed a colonial form OF governs
ment In our leland possessions. Ths
resolution Of Senator Spooner, Of
Wisconsin, acting rs Spokesman, OF
the policy and theory Of the adminIa-
tration when it declared, In substance,
shat the President should have full
power In the Philippine IsIands to
appoint all officers, civil and military,
and establish In effect such govern
ment as his whim and caprice dictat-
ed.' In other words, 1t declared the
President dictator In the Islands. But
someone says that the Republican
party has not declared it would not
give the island possessions O free gov
ernment. / answer that you have not
said You would give them free and
independent government and the
Secretary Of War has announced the
Constitution does not extend over the
islands and, although charged with the
intention of making colonies OF these
islands, the President stands silent and
makes no reply.
Governmental assistance by laws,
comforting special privileges on Or
ganized corporate wealth, has shown
to the millionaires the benefit of gov.
ernmeutal partnership In their husi-
ness enterprises and the corporate
combiner now seeks through q per-
petuation Of McKinley's administra-
ton, by the use of our army and
navy, to foreibly establish In foreign
lands the power Of world encirclIng
American trusts as the dictator OF
trade in She markets Of civilization.
Their creed is Gold and greed
"Thia element Of our land believe In
the Britiah idea, that to control the
trade you must own the soil and con-
troll the people. 1t 10 the imperial
spirit of conquest. II is the spirit that
believes in land-grabbing and holding.

Mexico, Moberly, Jefferson City and
Sedalia are yet to hear from, but no
doubt they win put in claims later on.
As the Hannibal people do not even
know the mans name. Mexico will
not be slow to take advantage of the

Different kinds of fighting monkeys
cannot be put In the same cage, be-
cause they iight.
In this cage Of ours called olviliza-
tion different kind OF human monkeys
are gathered black, white, yellow
and brown. Each kind of monkey
will unite with his fellows against any
other kind.
What shall be done9
The wise thing would seem TO be
for the monkeys In minority In any
particular cage to demean themselves
carefully.
Note the small sad-faced monkey
away up ct the top Of the cage at the
zoo, far from bananas and all hope OF
peanuts. 1t is shame that he should
be kept up there while the purple-
nosed macaque munches everything.
But we honestly cannot advise him to
come down.
The only hope lies In gradual ini-
provement-and that is very slow.
