gle, and were confirmed to us by the
treaty of peace in 17S3.
Yet the land thus confirmed was NOT
then given to us. 1t was held by an
alien foe until the army under Gen. An
thony Wayne freed Ohio from the red
man, while the treaties of Jay and PinclS-
ney secured from the Spanish and Brit

Louisiana Purchase and Philippines.
In 1903, under President Jefferson, the
greatest single stride in expansion that
we ever took was taken by the purchase
of the Louisiana territory. This so-called
Louisiana, which included what are now
the States of Arkansas, Missouri Louis
lana, Iowa, Minnesota. Kansas, Nebras-
ka North and South Dakota, Idaho,
Montana and large part of Colorado
and Utah, was acquired by treaty and
purchase under President jefferson ex-
actly and precisely as the Philippines
have been acquired by treaty and pur-
chase under President Mckinley.
The doctrine of "the consent of the
governed" the doctrine previously enun-
ciated by Jefferson in the Declaration of
Independence, was not held by him or by
any other sane man to apply to the In-
dian tribes In the Louisiana territory
which he thus acquired, and there was
no vote taken even of the white inhab-
1tants, not to speak of the negroes and
Indians, as to whether they were willing
that tfeir territory should be annexed.
The great majority of the inhabitants,
white and colored alike, were bitterly OPP
posed to the transfer.
Jefferson Forced Consent.
An armed force of United States sol
diers had to be hastily sent into the ter
litory to prevent insurrection, President
Jefferson sending these troops to Louisi-
ana for exactly the same reasons and
with exactly the same purpose that Pres
ident Mckinley has sent troops to the
Philippines.
jefferson distinctly stated that the
Louisianians were mot fit or ready for
self-goyernment," and years elapsed be-
fore they were given government,
Jefferson appointing the governor and
other officials without any consultation
with the inhabitants of the newly ac-
duired territory. The doctrine that the
constitution follows the flag" was not
then even considered either by Jefferson
or by any other serious party leader, for
it never entered their heads that new
territory should be governed other than
in the way in which the territories of
Ohio and Illinois had already been gov
erned under Washington and the elder
Adams; the theory known by this utterly
false and misleading phrase was only
struck out in political controversy at a

lily, because of the population, be an oil
garchy, which would have to be support
ed by armed soldiers.
| Yet Hawaii has now been annexed and
her delegates have sat in the national
conventions of the two great parties. The
| fears then expressed In relation to an
'oligarchy" and EARNED soldiers" are not
now seriously entertained by any human
being; yet they are precisely the objec-
tions urged against the acquisition of the
Philippines at this very moment.
Mi1itarism Is Not Involved.
We are making no new departure
We are not taking a single step which
in any way affects our institutions or our
traditional policies. From the beginning
we have given widely varying degrees of
self-goyernment to the different terrific
ries, according to their needs.
The simple truth is that there is moth
ing even remotely resembling "imperial
ism" or smilitarism" involved In the
present development of that policy of ex-
pansion which has been part of the his
tory Of America from the day when she
became a nation. The words mean abso-
lutely nothing as applied to our present
policy in the Philippines; for this policy
is only imperialistic in the sense that
Jefferson's policy in Louisiana was impe-
rialistic; only military in the sense that
Jackson's policy toward the Seminoles or
Clusters toward the Sioux embodied mill
tarism; and there is no more danger of
its producing evil results at home now
than there was of its interfering with
freedom under Jefferson or Jackson, or
in the days of the Indian wars on the
plains. Our army is relatively not as
large as it was in the days of Wayne;
we have not one regular for every 1000
inhabitants. There is no more danger of
a draft than there Is Of the re-introduc-
tion of slavery,
Right to Suppress Rebels.
When we expanded over New Mexico
and California we secured free govern
ment to these territories and prevented
their falling under the "militarism" of a
dictatorship like that of Santa Ana, or
the imperialism" of real empire in the
days of Maximilian. We put a stop to
Imperialism in Mexico as soon as the |
Civil War closed. We made a great |
anti-imperialistic stride when we drove |
the Spaniards from Porto Rico and the |
Philippines and thereby made ready the |
ground in these islands for that gradu-
ally increasing measure of self-goyern-

much later date for the sole purpose of
justifying the extension of slavery into
the territories.
Consent Not Necessary.
The parallel between what jefferson
did with Louisiana and what is now be-
ing done in the Philippines is exact. JEFF
ferson, the author of the declaration of
independence, and of the consent of the
governed doctrine, saw no incongruity
between this and the establishment of
government on common-sense grounds
in the new territory and he rallied at
the sticklers for an impossible applica-
tion of his principle, saying in language
which at the present day applies to the
situation in the Philippines without the
change of word, Though it is acknowl-
edged that our new fellow-citizens are
as yet as incapable of self-government
as children, yet some cannot bring them
selves to suspend its principles for a sin
gle moment" He intended that ulti-
mately self-goyernment should be intro
duced throughout the territory, but only
as the different parts became fit for Il
and no sooner. This is Just the policy
that has been pursued.
Fi1ipinos on Basis of indians.
In no part of the Louisiana purchase
was complete self-government introduced
for number of years; in one part of it,
the Indian Territory, 1t has not yet been.
introduced, although nearly century
has elapsed. Over enormous tracts of it,
including the various Indian reserya-
tions, with a territory in the aggregate
as large as that Of the Philippines, the
constitution has never yet followed the
fag;" the army officer and the civilian
agent still exercise authority, without
asking the consent of the governed. -
We must proceed in the Philippines with
the same wise caution, taking each sue
cessive step as it becomes desirable, and |
accommodating the details of our policy |
to the peculiar needs of the situation.
But as soon as the present revolt is put
down and order established, It will un-
be possible to give to the isl
ands larger measure of self-goyern-
mnt than Jefferson originally gave .Loui-
siana.
Florida Got Like Philippines,
The next great step in expansion was
the acquisition of Florida. This was
partly acquired by conquest and partly
BY purchase, Andrew jackson being the
most prominent figure in the ACQUISITION.
1t was taken under President Monroe,

Adams being active in securing the pur-

There is every reason why as rapidly
as an Indian, or any body of Indians,
becomes fit for self-government, he or it
should be granted the fullest equality
with the whites; but there would be no
justification whatever in treating this
fact as a reason for abandoning the wild
tribes to work out their own destruction.
Exactly the same reasoning applies in the
case of the Philippines. 10 turn over
the islands to Aguinaldo and his follow
ers would not be to give self-goyernment
TO the ISLANDERS! under no circumstances
would the majority thus gain self-goy-
ernment. They would simply be put at
the mercy of syndicate of Chinese half
breeds, under whom corruption would
flourish far more freely than ever it -four

Fifteen years ago Harry c. Holstein
succeeded to the business of his father
in this city. The intervening period has
suhiced to render him the leading
clothier of Northern Colorado. Mr.
Holstein' S relations, business and social,
have been such as to make him hosts
OF friends, who will be deligh hted to learn
that he has formed an important new
business relation, which, while II means
much to him, will not take him away
from Boulder. He has gone into the
manufacture of clothing. having pur.
chased an interest in one Of the largest
clothing manufacturing concerns in
New York. This new connection will
enable Mr. Holstein to supply his trade
here direct from factory of his own,
without compelling him to give up bust
ness relations with the people of Boulder
county, which have been so congenial to
him and so mutually profitable and ad'
vantageous.
That is to sly, the house of Harry {.

relation. Mr. Holstein has annually
spent several months east studying the
markets and making purchases for his
Boulder house.
He tells the Camera today that the new
deal does not involve less of personal
management, while it gives his Boulder
house the benefit of immediate connec.
ton with first hands, without the inter,
mediary profit of middlemen. Fol

DANDURFF CAUSED BY A GERM.
A New Discovery That Kills the Germ and
Prevents Badness.

Pretty nearly all the hair preparations
for dandruff, have some merit in allaying
itching of the scalp, and in being fairly
good dressing for the hair, but there is
only one that recognizes what causes
dandruh, falling hair, and badness, and
that destroys that cause, little germ
and that is Newbro's Herpiclde. This
germ eats its way into the scalp, down to
the hair root, where it saps that vitality,
causing dandruff as it digs up the scalp
into little white scales. Unless 1t is de-
stroyed there's no permanent stopping OF
falling hair and cure of dandruf and
badness. Newbro's Herpicide kills the
germ. "Destroy the cause, you remove
the effect"

Getting Rid OF Rats.

The best method I have found, and
it has proved to be successful with me,
is to mix corn meal and plaster of paris
together, about one-third plaster of
paris. The rats will eat the corn meal,
also some of the dry plaster. As they
pick the corn meal ont, add a little
more meal to it, and mix together. put
it in shallow dishes and set around in
different places. Also have some
water convenient for them to drink.
And in three or four days you will not
be troubled with rats. A good feature
of the mixture is, it is not poisonous to
other larger animals. I have had
some of my cows clean the dishes
sometimes, and it did not hurt them
in the least.
