sympathy with the efforts of the re-
publi1an senators and representatives
in congress to enact legislation for this
purpose.
we heartily indorse the Philippine
policy Of the present administration.
These islands have been won by Amer

permanent part OF our national domain.
We cannot neglect our duty to give

afford to throw away the great oppor-
