IMPERIALISM VS.. DEMOCRACY
Our Declaration OF independence a
Filipino Textbook.

At the sociological conference recent
ly held at Lake Bluff, Wis, Judge Will
lam Prentiss, of Chicago. spoke in part
as follows:
1T is strange to me that any one in
the twentieth century should discuss
Imperialism. If any one four years ago
pretended to discuss imperialism he
would have been put aside as lad
man and would not have been listened
10 patiently.
..rhhe principles of Democracy teach
that all men have equal rights and
should be free and left to govern them
selves with their own consent. The
principles of Imperialism teach that the
! great majority of men are incapable of
governing themselves. and breaches
the old doctrine of taking from him
that has little, and giving that little TO
him that has much.
what crime have the Filipinos corr
mitted? When we went to war with
Spain they did not dream that the
American soldier would ever visit their
shores except to benefit and uplift
Them free them from their bondage
and help them gain their liberty.
who will say that the Philippine
Islanders shall be citizens and have
granted them all rights of citizens? BY
legislation we have built wall strong
er and harder to knock down than the
wall of China against the Filipinos be-
coming citizens. We have said they are
not like US. In preparing for his strug-
gle with Spain, what did Aguinaldo
take for textbooks? The Declaration
of Independence, the Constitution of
the United States. the Emancipation
Prociamation and the last speech of
Washington. These are what he took
and taught his people, and they believ-
ed and followed him, and for two years
have been fighting for liberty. and yet
some say they are -afit to govern them
selves. Are not peopie who are able to
fight for their liberty able to govern
themselves?
imperialism teaches avarice, greed,

determination to obtain what belongs
TO some one else. On the other hand,
Democracy says every man has right
to choose fox himself, uplift his station
in life, be Elan.
Mckinley has said that the mass of
the islanders are willing to be govern
ed. | admit that portion are-the ig-
norant the lazy, shiftless and the COM
mercial. But the workingman, the pa
triots, the middle class, who felt that
they could stand death but bondage
never, are the men who are doing the
fighting. In the early struggles of our
own country did we wait for the con-
sent of the lazy. the shiftless, the COM
mercial?
If this spirit of imperialism rules we
will become as the Roman Empire did.
She called it expansion; she expanded
with the sword and soon became an
empire, and an empire cannot exist
within republic"

Pic Notes.

Soak wheat twelve hours before feed
ing to hogs.
When the pig is grown he should be
ready for market.
Early maturity is one way of lessen
ing cost.
There is no benefit in keeping a SOW
that is vicious and troublesome.
Do not arrange the pig pen so as to
shut out the sunshine and pure air.
A hog with fair proportion OF lean
meat is the best hog to send to market.
No farmer who keeps three or four
sows can afford to do without a pure
bred boar.
If a SOW is not permitted to breed
until she is eighteen months old, the
pigs will be found much better than if
she is bred younger, and this will be
found true of her future filters.

Indiana Lost to Mckinley.

Every factory in Indiana is filed with
socialists, and they are men who are
willing to vote the socialist ticket
though hopeless of victory OF course,
both parties have suffered from this
movement, but recent elections have
shown that the Republicans have suf-
fered more than the DEMOCRATS, espe-
cially in the gas belt, where large
majority OF the factory workers were
Republicans until they became social
lists. The State committee of the Social
Democrats is claiming vote of 5000
for its ticket at the coming election.
