MIR. voorhees, Should Read History

Mr.. voorhees, Should kedd hfstory.
Mr.. Voorhees,. In his speech at the Ar
mory Tuesday evening. recalled the fact
that at the time of the adoption Of the
Declaration OF Independence there we're
some people in this country who favored
a monarchical form OF government, and
that the evil OF such a suggestion had been
in operation among Americans for many
years. and is the cause OF the present
great national political division. He de-
c,ared that it was the xeairs OF Thomas
Jefferson that had stemrned the tiee OF
Imperialism. and that in his footsteps nad
followed Andrew Jackson and William }.
BRYAN.
This was all right as far as the oues-
.ioi OF Imperialism is concerned; for II
is well known that there have never been
three men more opposed TO monarchy than
those named. And yet there were men
in Jackson's time who said his reelection
would put an end TO the country's exist
ence as a republic, Just as there are men
now who say that the empire Is threaten
Ing and viii be upon us with the re-
election Of william Mckinley. By his
opponents jackson was styled king An
drew the First. who possessing as much
power as his gracious brother, William
has placed himself above the laws. as
he has shown by his contempt for our
judges"
There was as much humbug in the cry
Of Imperialism In Jackson's time as there
is in McKinley's time. Jackson was re-
elected and the republic IS here doing
business at the old stand, just as 1t will
be when the anti-imperialists of 1900 are
dead. and. with their bogus issue for
gotten. People were as insincere when
they talked about imperialism In 1892 as
they are now when talking on the same
subject The republic was not in danger
In Jacksons time and those who opposed
him knew 81; It Is not In danger now and
those who are supporting Mr. Bryan
know IL.
When II comes to discussing the real is
sue, which is expansion. and not imperial
ism. the last men the Democrats ought to
quote or cite as anti-expansionists are
Thomas Jefferson and Andrew jackson.
They were among the first to start In
the expansion business. and the country
has profted by their foresight. In fact,
II 1t had not been for Democratic expan-
sion, Mr. Voorhees, would not have been
able 20 come West and be honored with
the seat OF a territorial delegate in con-
gress. Both jefferson and Jackson were
as willing to acquire new territory as they
were 10 govern II without the consent Of
the governed. and today in looking for
presidents bearing upon the administra-
ton OF newly acquired territory IT is only
necessary TO turn back and review the
work OF the early idols and high priests

Democratic success: and this fact and
the existence of this paradoxical condi-
ton of afairs is advanced as serious
argument to enlist votes for the Demo-
cratic party.
In the East. Democratic speakers and
Democratic newspapers are. with scarce
" a single exception. insisting that the
party will not attempt TO bring forward
any legislation in the interest OF silver.
and that 1t never had any intention Of
so doing. that the Democratic plank on
that subject was inserted solely for the
purpose Of catching votes In the West:
that the course OF the party was thor
oushly dishonest and unprincipled. but
forced on 1t as matter of political eSpe-
diency.
In this section OF the country the DEM
ocratic leaders are privately assuring their
party friends that the outcry against ex-
pansion Is solely for campaign purposes:
that the party has no real intention OF
abandoning the Philippines. but is simply
trying to catch the undergraduates East
ern vote.
Chairman Jones. IN a card TO the pub
lie. assures the country that the attacks
on the courts, and the abuse OF their
writs. in the Democratic platform. should
be taken in a Pickwickian sense; that, as
matter OF fact. the Democratic party has
no real intention OF packing the supreme
court for the purpose of procuring a re-
versal OF the income tax decision, as the
Chicago platform. reafrirmed at Kansas
City. intimated.
From start to finish, the Demo-
cratic campaign has been conducted
with fraud. deception and false pretences.
The arguments made to influence one Sec
tion are repudiated in another Public
utterances. indorsing certain political poll
cies. are privately explained as intended
only for campaign purposes. From Mr..
Bryan down. every Democratic orator
and every Democratic newspaper has been
guilty OF suppression or evasion Of some
issue at some place. which has been WIDE
ly exploited In some other section as a
fundamental tenet OF the Democratic
party.
Is II possible that any considerable
number OF the people OF the United states,
not politically hidebound. can consent to
be jockeyed with and befooied in this
open. palpable and crude fashion,

other things to do"
It ~
Man disposes, but woman proposes.
Most commonly it is to have her own
way Allan McNeal had viii and a
mind of his own, but found himself
helpless in the face of the patchwork
feud. 1t was nothing less. 1t had be-
gum in fact, in that same Horticultural
hall ten years back. Miss Elyy Ware
and Mrs. John Groome were not mere
ly Nan Wares aUnts, sisters respec-
lively to her father and mother, but
bitter rivals in notable housewifery.
At the very first Clay county fair they
swept oil before them In their own par
tlcular lines, but Mrs. Groome got a
blue ribbon the more. 1t was for cut
flowers, and Miss Elvy's roses did not
win even the red Naturally the fact
ranked 1t ranked SO deeply, indeed,
she was not pacifed by the offer Of a
special rose premium next year. She
won it, of course, but the winning was
robbed Of SAVIOR Mrs. Groome did not
make a separate rose display.
So it had gone at every fair. Now
one was ahead in the matter of premi-
ums, now the other. At this particular
fair both had outdone themselves, with
the result of winning a dozen blue rib
more, but that old Sister Dempsey, the
committee on jelly and crystallized
fruits, placidly ate up the Groome and
Ware entries, saying she "did believe
in giyin somebody else the least little
smidgin of a chance" So that So had
gone to an entirely new person, q slim,
dark eyed girl, shy and strange, who
came afoot, with only a lad for com
pany. Her people had bought less
than year back a somewhat ramshac-
kle farm lying q mile away. Nobody
knew much about them, except that
they minded their own affairs, paid
cash for the little they bought and
from the looks Of things about the
place were not in the least afraid Of
work
Sister Dempsey had felt fully repaid
for her threatened indigestion by sight
Of the girls eyes when she got the blue
ribbon. They had frightened and sof-
tened until they were like misty stars.
Then she had said something to the
boy at her elbow that made him stand
on tiptoe and stick his hands deep In
his pockets, as though he had hard
work to keep from turning hand
springs and shouting aloud
1T was Lees idea, you know, our
bringing the things. I should never
have had the courage-or the hope"
she had explained, with a blush, to Sis
ter Dempsey. Lee standing very
straight and looking as though he own
ed at least half the fair grounds, had
added: "Why, Ellie, I knew we'd get
premiums If this old show played fair!
Didn't you make all your things the
way Black Nanny taught you? You
know she cooked for grandfather 90
years"
Mrs. Pease and Mrs. Sawyer had
heard nothing Of all this. They had

PHILIPPINE PROTECTOR
ATE.
An Anti-ImperiaIist. Objections to MIR.
Bryan's Programme.
LChicago Record

Mr.. Bryan, in his speech accepting the
nomination OF the Popullst party, said
that he would advise Congress TO protect
the Filipinos from outside interference
while they work out their destiny, just
as we have protected the republics Of Cen
trail and South America, and are by the
Monroe Doctrine pledged to protect
Cuba. One of the most important ques-
lions before the people, Mr.. Bryan
says, Is the danger of oppressive burdens
due to large Increase in the military
and naval forces Of the government; yet
il is difficult to see how we coul1 give
the Filipinos a protectorate unless we
maintained such q military and naval es.
Establishment as would prevent other
nations meddling with them,
Mr. Bryan's reference to the Monroe
Doctrine is out of place. That doctrine
originated at time when the weakness
ofmost of the small republics on this con-
tinent made THAR conquest by any one OF
the leading European Powers an easy
matter. While it was promulgated in
the interest OF ouH neighbors to the
southwark, 1t was also a measure of pro-
lection for ourselves, since we could not
afford to allow the monarch1es Of Europe
to secure footholds upon this continent,
whence they could attack us or harass
our commerce in case OF war. For the
same reason more than for love of the
| Cubans we are obliged to protect that
island against such OI1-WOrld nations as
might wish to seize it. But the enforce
ment OF the Monroe Doctrine in the new
world imposes only a light burden upon
the United States. The distance that any
Euro pean power would have to cross be-
fore 1t could invade either North or South
America makes the cost greater than the
advantage to be gained. The United
States would be lighting at short range,
While the enemy's base would be far
away.
But If we try to protect the Filipinos
we shall be at distance from the scene
Of operations, while nearly every other
important nation will have q convenient
foOthOld in Asia whence it can attack US
and our wards, the Filipinos. We should
need fleet on the Asiatic station super
Tor to the combined squadrOns Of any
other two powers, while an army OF
prepO nderatlng strength would also be
required for Immediate service whenever
the Philippines should be in difficulties
with European government. NO one
can be sure that the FilipinOs are going
to keep the peace with the rest Of the
world, and as long as we were obliged tc
make their quarrels our own we should
be forced to keep up navy and an army
far greater than those to which Mr..
Bryan is now opposed. The early eyac.
uatiOn Of the Philippines by the United
States has many strong arguments in 1t.
favor, but If we are to give the FilipinOl
a prOtectorate, as Mr. Bryan recommends
we should eventually have only tive
lternatives-namely, TO fight some Of
the great powers Of the world or to e
back again and subdue the F1lipinos, We
cannot undertake an enormous RESPONSE
bity toward a people over whom we
have no control,

quilting indeed rose to the rank Of
high art, and, though one might Ques-
ton the harmony of orange feathers
surrounding a red star upon a ground
of ultramarine, they were quite offset
by crimson and purple tulips with fin
ger wide stems, falling over blue and
yellow basket to trail on q staring
white background.
Even Sister Dempsey admitted that
her own rising sun was quite put out
of court by them. AS for the Irish
chains, monuments, even the extrava-
CANT silk crazy quilts, everybody I'M
derstood that they were exhibited sole
~ through public spirit to make a
good showing, with no hope whatever
of a premium, Allan glanced despair
ingly over them. To his confusion he
spied Nan just entering the hall, laugh
ing and talking at a great rate with
his pet aversion, Tim Bayliss. Tim
was rich and not Ill looking, but, as
everybody agreed, hadn't sense
enough to lead a goose to water" Ev-
erybody said further it was shame
the way Nan Ware kept him dangling
after her when she had been as good as
engaged to Allan McNeal ever since
she was out of short frocks.
Here, pin the blue on the star and
feather! Quick! Before Nan comesp'

length Of ribbon into Allan's hand.

tween Allan's fingers. "You have got
to decide it somehow" she said very
low. 81 know Nan thinks a heap the
most of her Aunt Groome''-
Excuse me. II must get out Of
this" Allan said desperately. AS he
rushed toward the door his eyes fell
full on Lee. Lees coat was clean and
whole, but whole through the most ex-
quisite patching and darning. Any
other lad roundabout would have re-
fused to be seen in it. Lee wore it as
though proud of it. Allan made three
steps to the boys side, caught him by
the arm and drew him forward with
out a word. Lees sister followed,
amazement and concern struggling in
her face. "I-we-what has my little
brother dOne?" she asked unsteadilv.
Allan gave her a comforting look, took
Lee by the shoulders and set him
where all could see, saying clearly:
GAS it is my prerogative to award the
disputed premium for patchwork, I
give it to this coat, the most excellent
and the most eloquent specimen it has
ever been my luck to see. These 9th
ers," with a sweep Of the arm toward
the line ''may be more ornamental.
The declared purpose of this fair as
ISOLATION is to encourage thrift, indus

it is doubled"

Allan did not answer. He was busy
pinning the long blue ribbon on Lees
left shoulder. Even If he heard it did
not break his heart He married Ellie
