Draws q Line Between Expansion and

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 15.-W. j. Bryan
passed through Kansas City for Column
bia, Mo-. where he was to speak in the
afternoon. Asked about his A1inneap-
oils interview in which he was report
ed as expressing views favorable to ex-
pansion, Mr.. Bryan said:
II have for one year been discussing
and have tried to distin-
guish between such an extension of the
nations limits as would not change the
character of the government, and an
expansion which converts a homogene-
Gus republic into heterogeneous en-
pire. When the annexation of any given
territory is under consideration, the
question is first, whether the people want
to come in, and second, whether the
people are capable Of sharing in the
government and destiny of this nation.
I believe that all people are capable OF
governing themselves, and that the Fill
ipinos should be allowed to govern
themselves, but I do not think they arr
sufficiently advanced to share with us
in the government of the nation. If the
Philippine islands are annexed the peo-
pie there must either be citizens or SUBJ
jects. am not willing to admit them
as citizens and do not believe that a re-
public can have subjects, therefore
ask this nation to give them independ-
ence and then protect them from out
side interference. Each proposed an
nexation must be considered upon its
own merits, but in considering these
merits the conditions of the people
should have more weight than geo.
graphical position or commercial ad-
vantage"
